If white people are racist, at least they do a damn good job of keeping it to themselves (in recent times at least!)
But your posts have a tone of "WHHYYY can THEY do it and WEEEEE CANNN'T?", when the comment should be "I see black people vocalizing racist talk more than whites, it shouldn't be tolerated and it's WRONG". Big difference!

Maybe it's the peeps I hang with, but I don't hear much racist talk at all.

Rev Wright..mere whimper

Could go on & on but it's pointless
Exactly Kate. There are two sets of rules in many cases. That is what many people are angry about. Political correctness has allowed two sets of rules and that is just plain wrong.

The point is: There are many white racists just as there are many black racists...now here's the point....we are in agreement many whites are racist...
Blacks TODAY vocalize it much more...if whites said some of the things I've heard by blacks they would be taken to task for it

Are you getting it yet????

SO white people are angry because this is unfair treatment and they are tired of it. AGREED.

Now, how do you think OTHER groups feel after YEARS of being mistreated because of their race, HAPPY? So maybe using that example you can understand why THEY are angry TOO.

That is not what I meant... what I meant is at least those posting seem to agree that ALL racist speech is wrong.

Do you really think you are going to change my mind on other issues, you are not. Nor am I going to change yours. And Tommy is still mad that I don't think RU NB should be up there with Princeton... so at this point... the thread begins to loose it's point....
