LOL @ YOU! Your version of your truth is not based in reality and your statement is full of delusions. Yes, to deny racism exists is the biggest laugh of this entire argument, and so are the white whiners claiming reverse racism. Facts are not on your side. Apparently YOU'VE never met a thing called facts to even back up your posts. You tried though. You tried.

I said self-identified.

People like yourself, who are on the extreme right, think everyone to the left of Michael Savage is a Marxist. But that's just ignorance.

Another thing that shows your ignorance is that you conflate the left with liberalism. Liberals are the center, not the left, and there is a heck of a lot more light between liberals and leftists than liberals and conservatives.

Sounds to me like you couldn't do what I asked. That doesn't surprise me. I rest my case.

I never said that racism doesn't exist. I said that today it isn't only whites that are racist. That is just a fact. Provide proof that it isn't true then. Seems like I touched a nerve of truth with you since you're getting your feathers all ruffled over this. Appears you have a grudge against white Americans with your snarky comments. Could it be racism on your part?

Hey, I'd like to thank to coward that was kind enough to rep me with complaints but too scared to actually debate them openly.

You rock! Even if you have the brain power of a former NFL quarterback with a bad offensive line. Rock On!!!!

hoo boy

it seems that most people view this as a purely black and white (i'm honestly not sure if the pun was intended or not ), but there's more nuance. one thing i think is important to point out is just because somebody says something that might be racist, that does not mean that the PERSON is a racist. one example: several professors at my university have thick accents that are borderline impossible to discern to those not used to hearing such thick accents. some people make jokes or comments about this that straddle the line of good taste. is it appropriate to call them out when they cross the line? absolutely. but does that mean that the person hates all non-whites (or simply all middle easterners or (india) indians or whoever)? i don't think so.

one thing i would like to discuss is the term "reverse racism." there is no such thing as "reverse racism." racism against whites by another group is just plain racism. now, many things that whites claim are racist against them aren't actually racist (it just levels the playing field for other races). however, i'm sure that it's not unheard of for whites to be the victims of racist attacks, and when it does happen, that's just racism, not "reverse racism"

Don't want to be called a racist, don't say racist comments, at least not in public.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism.

and of course people can still be discriminated about what they look like, too old, too fat, thin , ugly, spotty etc..

this racism game is a joke.

why should boatloads of unwashed, 3rd world peasants get a free ride anyway?

If your going to trash entire groups, have the balls to take the heat instead of crying like a little girl.
