Are there ANY good people in this world at all...[quote]
This may be cynical of me, but yes. There are. They're just mobbed/killed/manipulated/suppressed/outnumbered to the point of complete obscurity by all to other people. Example: Early christianity. Jesus was supposed to have used ex-convicts and liars to spread the word of his good, I assume because if he'd used people that started out the picture of morality, they wouldn;t have been able to get anyone to listen. (that's just an example).

As for racism, I have a theory as to one of thew underlying causes (of racism in general, not of any specific racism) could be rooted in the theory of natural selection: A species that conquers rather than cohabitates has a greater chance of increasing its num,bers, and thus the probabilioty that it will be able to continue to increase its num,bers. Eventually, this competition becomes more and more refined to the point that every single being of the species has been ingrained by every subconscious or conscious action of its predecessors to destroy anyone or anything that provides competition (in reference toward food, in reference toward mates it usually requires only a metaphorical death for the survival of the genes and mentality of the "winner"). The ideas being passed down through even subconscious actions means that the human species, and most other species for that matter, will never be free of racism, because of how deeply it's been ingrained since the first time a being encounters stimulus caused by nther living being, as well as the genetic training to be agressive towards competition in the first place. Humans will not be able to stop racism completely, it's like the whole One Sin effect, where only a human purely without sin can release humanity from their bonds of inherent darkness, but, by definitiuon, the human has at least a kernel of such darkness.
