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.
lol:d

Go to a local convenience store located in an area that is predominantly underclass black and observe for a short time and you will see what I mean. Screaming, hollering, swearing and fighting constantly. If I were middle class black, I would be embarrassed to be a member of the same race. The ghetto dweller had no business opening his mouth to Tom.

From the 13 pages all I can say is that there needs to be a new term, besides "racism", created and used to described the phenomenon that subdued the Negro in America from enjoying socioeconomic parity in America, after over 3 centuries in this nation…….because the term “racism” has become amorphous.

I just cannot see how black people can be so racist……yet everyone that we are supposedly racist against is doing so much better than black people socioeconomically in America. Even today, the economic gaps between blacks and whites has widened over the last 10 years, during the era that black people are supposed to be the most racist.

Black “racism” must be like a non-metastasizing tumor, in that it has not shown the ability to bring down the entire body, or collective, of other races. White “racism”, on the other hand, is different because it has metastasized all through the lymph nodes and spread throughout the body of black people, not only in America, but all over the world, bringing the collective body down socioeconomically. Hell, the black Caribbean is the creation of the cancer of white racism.

Obviously the current usage of the term “racism” and “Racist” means something different, in degree or kind, from what black people have experienced for nearly 4 centuries, from whites, in this nation and world......because if we black people are so racist....yet whites and others continue to do so much better than us.....then it does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that what is being "experienced" is something DIFFERENT from the racism that whites talk about blacks being guilty of.

If you don't see it then you are blind. I guess telling an Asian American to "go back to China" is not racist. Well if it isn't, then I guess a white guy telling a black guy to go back to Africa isn't racist either. Thanks for explaining.

Outside of the few incidents that pop up from time to time, whites and blacks barely pay each other any attention.
I dunno. There sure are a lot of mixed babies

It saddens me to say this, because my maternal lineage hails from that region, but the majority of them are submissive to whites. White is always right, and don't tell them otherwise.

Never said I was OK with any of what Tom says happened to him.

Are you making assumptions again?

LOL at this thread.

I went to the Bahamas in April of 2013 and took a few excursions along with a couple taxi rides (in vans with majority black people but some white Americans).

One of the taxi drivers did mention Obama but none of us black people went on a tirade against white people LOL.

FYI black people do tours and shop and party on vacations, especially Caribbean vacations. We don't go on tirades about white people because we are thinking of beaches, shopping, cocktails, and having a good time. We will and do party with white people in the Bahamas. Lots of us go to the Bahamas (I go at least once a year). We usually go on excursions and tours and take taxi rides with black and white people and don't have racist tirades because that would be ridiculous.

Also fwiw I have been in taxis in the Bahamas with the ghetto acting sort of black person from the US as well. The only tirade that I have witnessed is said ghetto person being upset at the cost of or timing of a taxi showing up. They usually "go off" on the black taxi driver until someone (usually me) reminds them they are on vacation and should calm down. This has happened a couple times in my presence and both times the tirade was over without much incident within 5 minutes.

Also fwiw I have seen white Americans "go off" on drivers for the same reason and when they are reminded of vacation status they usually don't shut up as quickly as the ghetto type, mostly because they are drunk lol.
