Op-Ed: Racist?

I have to say, I've seen as much or more entitlement to bigotry in the black people as in the white people I've known. Ethnocentric instints are outgrown through personal introspection not through group identity and victimhood.

Remarkable. I've had no such experience. If true, we whites are fortunate that they lack our power to back-up that bigotry.

That may be your personal experience but it’s anecdotal and not important. Black people have no power to oppress white people in this country.

They lacked no power to back it up when I was a child in East Cleveland. It was called verbal harassment and violence. They still have that power.

It's naive and insulting to me and my experience when I hear white people say that bigotry is a white problem alone.

Yeah, well I got anecdotally treated as shitty as I've ever seen a black person treated by a white person. If thats not important, it's because YOU don't care if white people are the victim.
