In other words, it's OK to insult me, but it's whiny when some one insults you?
Isn't that one-sided BULLS**T ?
True but they do operate openly. It depends where you are at. I was chased out of a bar with some friends in Bridgeport Illinois simply because I and one other guy were black.
I and a black friend were refused service at a Shell station in Peotone Illinois.
It happens still to this day in places all over the country on both sides media aside.
No one said anyone did. I was asking what can we do about it? I mean look at the reactions here.
Seriously? That's being a victim ? Nothing I've read here is anything I can take seriously. Did I miss a story?
Let's get realistic: in this day and age, its 10% of blacks being Black Racists vs maybe 8% White Racists.......with the more numerous Black racists and their Enabling Bleeding Hearts vs the smaller number of White Racists.
You don't think that's more then a little absurd. I understand the wrongness of it but think it is so vastly different then the racism experienced by black americans that you can really put them i the same league.
How do you define racism?
It's a helluva lot worse than you missing a story. You need to beam down from La La Land.
Generally speaking, you are still 99.9999% physically safe in the NON-Black communities....And, while whining about white Racism, you know damn welll that whites in ghetto areas are akin to having a guaranteed beating. And, possibly , a death sentence.
The people making these claims are primarilly conservative. They want to end affirmative action. They want to end most poor people's access to government benefits because that makes them vote Democrat. They want to pay less taxes. They want to lock up more "criminals." They want to feel more powerful and safe like back in the old days. They don't want to worry about saying the wrong thing in front of the wrong people and getting called on it.
Those are the more moderate ones
The more extreme ones want to use "they're racist also" as an excuse to bring unapologetic white supremacy back to the mainstream.
Well that was uncalled for.
Actually I'm being gentle with you. You are either a Black Racist. Or, like the other extreme Bleeding Hearts here, you are an ENABLER of Black Racists and championing their delusions.
You have to get a REALITY CHECK.
What happened 50 plus years ago is turned ass-backwards around with the Blacks perpetrating a HELLUVA LOT MORE RACIAL VIOLENCE than the whites ....at least FIVE TIMES their proportionate number relative to their population.

No one is suggesting it be tolerated but come on, these examples of "racism" are absurd. Wait until you refused service at a restaurant or a home you want to purchase or a job because of your skin color, then you'll have something worth mentioning. In the mean time, the majority of these examples are not unlike normal conflicts that we all face.
and what exactly are those problematic social attitudes?? Are they being uppity??
What are you even talking about? I'm talking about the social acceptance of ideologies that promote violence against people of other ethnic backgrounds, or ideas that such people are of less value and worth. if you can't understand how such fosters negativity and violence that only helps to further isolate and aliante the community in question, I don't know what to tell you. But to call your general approach to things "dull" would be a compliment
lol, of course you break out the accusation of racism, what else do you have, because it surely isn't knowledge. But no, I suggest checking out something like "message to the blackman in america" and maybe alleviating yourself of that pervasive ignorance and intellectual dullness that you wear like a badge
No one ever said it was okay. But come on. You guys come off with this incredibly arrogant expectation of being heard because what...you got called a cracker.
well, THAT was fun. Thank you for reminding me why I chose not to respond to you posts.
Well lets look at that.
Whites make up 77.9% of the US population. That's around 244,852,951.2 people.
Blacks make up 13.1% of the US population. That's around 40,808,825.2 people.
So we have by your estimate 19,588,236.096 white racists vs 4,080,885.22 black racist.
So come again?
You're hopeless. At worse you're a Black Racist. At best you are an ENABLER of Black Racism and crusading for their delusions.
There have been many studies on this very thing. On the surface violence seems tied to being Black as you "propose" here. The reality is violence, drug use, etc all stem from poverty. Poverty levels in black communities are the real problem. It certainly will take a long time to fix since they were in shackles 160 years ago, and looked at as 2nd class citizens until 50 or so years ago.
that you lack anything of intellectual depth or knowledge?
what do you think the reaction would be if Pat Robertson was using the Aryan Nation for church security? Do you think that would be tolerated, and what social value is served by it being clearly shown that such ideas are bad within a community? Do you think the open tolerance of such ideas would maybe promote and foster them and lead to an underlying tension in relations between two groups?
What does this have to do with my reply to you or him? Nothing. I already told you I would not care, and I don't care anymore. So that is pretty much that. Racist are gonna be racists. Until all of a sudden blacks control the police, military and all government I don't think white people have anything to worry about. The silly mantra of the downtrodden white man is just that.
