Is the Arlington cemetery color segregated?
Not any more, but sad to say, it used to be. Since the cemetery's inception during the Civil War, thousands of black men who fought in the United States military were buried there; but they were buried in a "Negro section." This changed, by executive order, in July 1948 when President Harry Truman ordered the cemetery to stop practicing segregation.
Why should you agree with Racism?
That's just the thing, you shouldn't agree with Racism, it's wrong, and there's absolutely no point. The people who criticize others not of there race are cruel and in human.

Yes, he used Jews as scapegoats in his presidential campaign through anti-Semitism. Although Hugo Chavez comes from a Jewish family, he claims that he no longer is, and is now a "Venezolano" aka, someone from Venezuela. He's trying to be like hitler by using anti-semitism tactics to win support.

Can racism be stopped with education?
I like to think so, but racism starts within the family before a child starts school. People aren't born racist, but learn it. To overcome a learned behavior takes a lot and the information can be introduced to a child or person, but they have to be open to accept it.

Did racism affect he naming ofthe White House?
The names that people choose for their national symbols reflect that which is important culturally. The chosen names are not so much as what you see, but what is important culturally. Race as determined by color was and is an important component as to how Americans see and identify themselves. The color that public buildings appear to look is not what leads people to make the decisions they make as to what call their symbols. Rather it is the social and political value that promotes a sense of cultural attachment that leads people to make the choices they make. The United States is not the only nation with public buildings that appear to be white! Liberia has a national residence much like ours. However they fittingly call it exactly what it is the "Executive Mansion." One needs to can look around the world to see how nations make their selections. Nations that have a reputation for democratic or republican principles often select names that have the ability to narrow the psychological distance between the government and the people. Their choices usually reflect some common characteristics with which ordinary citizens can identify. For example In Britain it is simply 10 Downing Street. In Chile they have the "House of Coin." Ghana has the "Osu Castle." the locality is Osu. The nation of Argentina has the "Casa Rosada" (the Pink House), a name originating out of compromise between two political groups that were called the Red and White parties. The color "pink" was chosen as a result of compromise. In the Peoples Republic of China, there is "Zheng Nanhai" which, most appropriately means"the people holding power live within." The "White House" was born in a culture where race and color were issues of paramount concern. The name speaks of America's racial history. It owes it's existence to the beliefs and opinions that Anglo-Saxon Americans had about themselves as a race in a nation of white Americans, distinct from the African-American population that were in their midst. By 1901 whites were so cavalier about the supremacy they had achieved, legally, socially and politically, that they felt justified in making the name, White House official. In 1901, the time was right for the President to change the official name (by executive order) from what had been most appropriately the Executive Mansion to the "White House."
National symbols speak to a national sense of identity and help to define, nourish, and give understanding to our national life.

Well, all the people living there at the time the British took over were non-white islanders.

If they had been a bunch of British families living there, perhaps the situation would have been dealt with differently.
When will Mississippi get with the times and stop being racist?
Mississippi is not racist. Some of its people are. Perhaps more than usual, but that does not make Mississippi racist any more than, say, a city with 60% Hispanic people Hispanic.
