My point was simply that racist come in all colors, not just white. Do you dispute that?
No.

I go to comedy clubs all the time and watch comedy specials on cable. White commedians get away with as much as brown comedians do. The only thing deemed completely unacceptable is the "n" word.

You got me there but from your list I only watch Psych. Maybe the period of segregated shows (Friends, Seinfeld, Home Improvement, George Lopez, etc) that I was talking about has finally gone away.
They are white racists, they only want higher education, jobs & housing for white people in a white America, its pathetic and shameful to see them behaving like a "white club" without sheets this day & age

Although the four main characters were white, Seinfeld was hardly a segregated show. The background characters (of whom there were a lot)were actually quite varied.
Can't speak for the other shows, since I was never a fan so I didn't watch them.
Like discrimination against blacks and Hispanics, it's more subtle than the whites only tanning tax. It isn't whites are told no. It is a case of blacks being told yes in advance of whites even asking. I don't believe everyone at the DMV is a black female by sheer happenstance. I don't believe that every time I have to call some state agency, a black female answers because no white males wanted the job.
But the greatest example of government sanctioned anti-white discrimination is that stupid legal disclaimer at the bottom job applications that states they are an "equal opportunity/affirmative action" employer as though "equal opportunity" and "affirmative action" were not mutually exclusive.
Of course it could be because the black women you ran into are actually more qualified. Never thought of that did we now
Growing up in Hawaii, I was constantly discriminated against. I had a Hawaiian woman tell me that she was going to slap the "white" right off my face. I was 6 years old. She was an adult. A lady down the street gave hula lessons. My sister and I would go to watch, and she told us that whites were not aloud to even watch. She told us to leave. That is just a small example of it.
I know that you might be saying, yeah, well that was Hawaii. But whites do not get affirmative action. My husband is the only white guy on his team at work and he gets treated the worst. He is also the only one born in America. He is always being told that he has to do this and that to "Respect" the cultures that he works with, but they are not told to treat him with kid gloves. It definatley does not go both ways. Where is out white history month? The black and hispanics get one. What about the whites? Not like I want one or even care, but it just goes to show, that there is a level of discrimination towards whites.
Maybe I am more sensative to it because it was always in my face growing up.
I'm sorry to hear about that. I've heard Hawaii is racist towards most people though, blacks included.
And whites get their "history years" in every school in the country.

So your position is that affirmative action led to qualified blacks being hired on their merits as opposed to just b/c of their color? Riiiiiight. When a gov't dictates what percentage of minorities must be hired, that is discrimination against white people. Arguably, the black people who were hired based solely on the implementation of AA were not as qualified as the other white applicants. The whole idea of AA is stupid to begin with, racism does not run as far and deep as you would like to think, and AA in fact perpetuates basing employment decisions on color. But it's probably hard to face the facts, seeing as how you'd have to stop pretending to be a victim and throwing the race card to get where you want in life.

Affirmative action was implemented to make white employers LOOK at black applicants. I'm sorry that you were living under a rock during your American History class but blacks were almost entirely unable to find jobs that weren't service jobs or manual labor only 40 years ago and even had trouble doing that. It had absolutely nothing to do with their qualifications and had everything to do with their skin color. If AA wasn't implemented then blacks wouldn't have jobs period no matter what their qualifications were unless they employed themselves.
