Racism is a terrible thing regardless of who gives it. I think this is something most of us can agree upon. However, we rarely hear of condemnation against those who target whites explicitly. Black and Hispanic on white crime occurs in greater numbers than the opposite, yet we rarely see public outcry. Further...even on this forum we see comments about how white people are the problem, white people are stupid, white people are ruining the world, etc. etc. etc. If the same was mentioned of african american or hispanics the thread would be shut down or the poster would be yelled at by every subsequent poster.
So my question....why does it seem that prejudice against White people is tolerated...or even encouraged to some degree? Further...why are white people encouraged to be apologetic (see below).
I want to qualify the apology thing with something that happened in my "Intro to Sociology" class in college. My Soci professor was in the racial relations section of our textbook and she was talking about the injustices that have happened over the years against minorities in the South. She then proceeded to ask all of the white Americans in the classroom to write a "proxy" apology letter to the slaves for the injusticies of our ancestors. Now...I did this because it was for the class and I had no interest in getting on my professors bad side...but I felt uncomfortable doing this. I have done nothing to the slaves...I, to my knowledge, have never hurt anyone. This felt unfair to me and my classmates. It was clearly racially motivated and unacceptable...yet she does this every year. Is it fair?
I am white, I like me, I try to treat all people equally. If you treat people
differently, because of their color, regardless of the circumstances,
you are a racist.
b.) don't condone those who say they are proud and then act racist at the same time.
The more Whites do this, the more the sterotype of the 'proud to be white = being racist
would diminish.
Oh please, it is literally impossible for anyone with white skin to say anything about being proud without an entire army of race baiting morons here on CD jumping all over them and equating them to a slave owner in a matter of minutes.
Most conservatives like myself don't tolerate it at all, I have no problem whatsoever calling it out and I have many times. Most typical race pimps are massive cowards looking for a quick dollar made off the backs of their supporters or someone they're falsely accusing of something anyway.

That is because every time white people do that they start killing everyone.
Don't really know how because turned into barbecue. I must be getting old.
