Actually it's not that unusual to see or hear about a black on white crime in some parts of the country.

You should get out more.

Oh, so in reality the issue you have is not with racism or only whites being portrayed as racists; in reality your post is just another way to introduce the "black people do all the crime" theme along with it's assorted craziness and bull crap!!!

Thanks for the waste of time!!

Why is racism most often only associated with white people?
Interesting question. Watch the History Channel and it will get a lot clearer.

Not very often, but it does exist. Sadly, though, the mass majority of crime committed by blacks is against other blacks. If they showed all of these cases on the nightly news, there would be no time for other segments such as sports or weather.

"...no white flour..." Naturally.

"...white people want to kill us...that is part of their plan..."

"...the only n*g*r*s on the planet is the white man and the white woman..."

"...the solution to the problem..."

"...And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate white people because that in my estimation is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet to solve this problem..."

"...the problem on the planet is white people..."

This guy is a piece of work.

Call him the black hitler.

Sure, which period should we concentrate on? The Barbary Pirates, black Muslims which captured and sold whites into slavery centuries before the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade? Or, the fact that Africans extended said slave trade into the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade? Or, the pure Black Racism you see manifested in the amazingly lopsided percentage of inter-racial violent battery?

What about the extreme racism in Asia (people of color in your lexicon, you brainwashed libby). Please do look up the history of Japan. Some places to start: The Rape of Nanking. THey kinda thought they were the master race. Even more problematic is that feeling has existed as long as there as been a Japan.

What about the extreme violence perpetrated by Native Americans against other tribes, simply because they were different! Oh yeah, this was before the Whiteys came in large numbers.

Help us narrow it down a bit, ok? Get back to us and we can discuss, ok?

Actually, you somewhat contradict yourself. You hear about them (mostly) AFTER its exposed as a fraud.

Serious question: what is your opinion on Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse case, the fake hate crime faked by a black professor at Columbia, or fake hate crimes in the Baltimore fire house, or the fake hate crime down in San Diego state (cali system), or the private college in Illinois, etc?

I can get names and places, I'm not putting time into it right now, but I think you get my idea. Faked hate crimes are really owned by the Left. I highly suggest you dont start that, because it is an arguement you simply won't win.

Care to respond?

Given the current political climate in this country I've become 100% immune to claims of racism, especially when those claims are clearly meant to deflect attention away from the issue at hand.

If you're a public official and the FBI kicks in your door and finds $100K in your freezer chances are that had nothing to do with your skin color. If you cheat on your taxes the people who catch you aren't racist. If you shoot someone and the cops track you down it's not because of the color of your skin.

White Americans have about a 350 year history of government sponsored and legally sanctioned racism in the United States. It's kind of hard to wash all that away in about 45 years. The fact that a certain percentage (Notice I'm not saying all) White Americans still hold racist views makes it hard to move completely past this.

The fact that White Americans are still a numerical majority in this country tends to make their acts of racism more noticeable than other groups.


Personally I don't codone racism or bigotry by any person toward any group of people for any reason.

We agree not all White Americans are racist and not all racist are White Americans.

However the undeniable historical fact is the original White European settlers CHOOSE to make race a determining factor in determining a person's social, economic, political and legal status from the time the first colonies were establish. That system was kept in place until fairly recently from a historical perspective.
