Yeah, because everyone with black skin has so much in common that they would live in harmony otherwise - just look at Africa

Nothing you've posted has anything to do with what I said... It actually spews of ignorance...

Living in harmony? There's been a lot of reaching on this thread...

Posting stuff that has nothing to do with what you've said, well, this is what I see. I'm no expert, but that is usually a sign of avoiding answering certain questions.

So the Jitney from the place, driven by our friend, goes out one day on the little island tour and all. The thing was packed full of Black Americans (Again, I've never even heard of such a thing), and there were a grand total of three White Americans onboard. My fam wasn't on there, but they knew the one white couple who went along. So, our Bahamian friend, as usual, starts out by saying: "Hey, how about Obama!!!". He's a cheery dude, and yeah, I don't agree with his view on Obama, but I still consider him a really great person, and a good friend. All of the sudden, the Black Americans on board cheer, and then for the next hour they go on anti-white rants, bashing white people, trashing America and its "White Culture", and completely turning the damn tour into a black hooded Klan rally. Our friend, the tour-guide, was shocked as hell, and he tried in vain for the next hour or so to change the subject, and to delve into Bahamian culture and such, but the Black Americans wouldn't shut the XXX up, and they kept ranting and bashing against "White Folk". It got so bad, that our friend became concerned for the White Americans onboard, but fortunately it never got out of hand towards that extreme.

The Bahamas- Racist Black Americans: A Takeover



It seems we have swapped one form of racism for another, and even foreigners are noticing.
As a Black American myself, I can tell you that we spend very little time concerning ourselves with what Caribbean Blacks think about us. Most of us have jobs and lives which don't leave much time to consider how people who are doing nothing to benefit us think.

I would imagine that White Americans feel the same about Europeans. Just as they (White Americans) have little in common with Europeans, American Blacks have little but skin color in common in Caribbean Blacks.

This topic is very stupid. Some people are racist and some are not no matter where they are from or look like.

I haven't experienced much racism as an Asian American but most of the few incidents were from black people. The one I remember most was a piece of ghetto trash in a car next to me at a traffic light in Baltimore who told me to take my McCain-Palin bumper sticker off (its now a Romney sticker) and that I should "go back to China" if I had a problem with "a BLACK man in the White House" and that "black people in charge now". My family had in fact escaped from communism and socialism in China because if they stayed, they would have been shot or taken to the socialist prison camps.

I hang out with a mostly tea party crowd and I have neither experienced nor witnessed any racism from them and there are people from different races there.
