Well, i knew about these "organizations" but i still can't understand why government didn't call them "racist or extremist?" Maybe you can tell me why white man who say N-word is racist and bigot and black man who say ****you or "I will kill you" to every pedestrian is good?
Dude, when you consider the history of this country, White Americans are hella lucky Black people haven't outright revolted and slaughtered millions of you lot en masse.

White Americans started a war against the UK over taxation without representation. Imagine what Black Americans should have done to you lot for slavery and Jim Crow.

You do realize they were at that time a small minority (both seen as and in number) who sadly would probably have been slaughtered and most likely ended up like the American Indians just like back in the 1800's.
Just look at the damage/death that was caused to the black community in the 50's/60's from a minority of whites.

Any one of us can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am a white American who has more in common with black Americans than I ever will have in common with a very wealthy American. Divide and conquer that's how the wealthy keep us distracted.

Keep your eyes open. Watch for a lying media. They keep racism alive.

Who are you talking about? Really. I read your post and left with more questions than answers. I'm beginning to doubt my self-worth. Please answer so I don't lose my self-esteem.

Yeah, we're totally fortunate the blacks haven't revolted.

A race war here in the US would essentially be mutually assured destruction, assuming it were truly white vs. black. That war would not determine who is right, but only who is left, to rip off a somewhat famous quote.

Actually, I think that war would probably end horribly for blacks. Not because I think they're stupid or horrible shots, or anything like that. Who do you think owns more guns and has hoards of ammo? Yeah, those crazy white boogers.

Hating Obama for his Morals and ethics is no different than the ones who hated Bush for his.

People like you are the ones who blame it on Color and can't see the real reasons.

Lol...sorry.

I think anybody who goes out and preach hate and racism must hate themselves. They hate the fact that they were born looking like they do and they make themselves feel better by trying to degrade others. I feel pity for them.

Charlize Theron is an African American, but people dare not group her in with that, or think of her like that, for obvious reasons. They say in England everyone is one race - human.

I have Indian relatives. They laugh about racism here and tell me to stop wondering - but they don't get it. We know India has its caste system, but it's really different. I have Chinese and Pakistanian relatives. Again, laughter all around. They have more biases, but in the end they do NOT understand American ignorance. They think it's childish and ill-formed.

FOUR examples. I know racism in other countries is severely diminished (not gone), and it's not heavily directed towards one group.
There is plenty of racism in England and throughout Europe. The only exceptions are countries where there are very few racial minorities. They can look down on America if they like, but they don't have the multiculturalism we have and have always had. Easy to criticize...
