I don't think most blacks are racist. You don't hear of blacks belonging to a group that calls itself "The Race" or insisting on unlimited immigration from all African nations because of race.

Many blacks are programmed from an early age, to believe this crap. When you are told 24/7 your the victim, what do we expect.
Just listening to some on this forum, we all know this is true.
He|| yes it's true! I have to push away from these forums after my IQ drops 20 points from the contact stupid.
You nailed the crux of the problem. It's the way children are raised, absolutely. It doesn't matter what the color of their skin is. If they are trained to hate, think themselves victims, and only given negative garbage throughout their lives... they become racists, bigots, and haters destined to raise (or ?) their children exactly the same way. It's a vicious circle jerk.
Right on, right on, right on! Awesome observations cali-jewel.

You've never heard of the Black Panthers, or Nation of Yahweh? What about Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, who may not be listed as a hate group... but are. What about the hate that Rev. Wright preaches from his pulpit, much the same way white racist preachers did in the South?
I agree with you, most PEOPLE (every shade of brown) are not racists. It's the ones who can't see this truth and are stuck in a race hating time loop.

You're speaking for yourself, and nobody else. You are a race hating black man/woman, period.
I hate to say this, and I am sure I'm going to get blasted, but when watching whites and blacks interact with Asians, Hispanics, and people with accents, my fellow black citizens are far more likely to be rude, inpatient, or even go so far as to say derogatory things. Certainly, it is not everyone or even most people. Also people of my own race are far more likely to express bigoted statements about Asians, Hispanics, or people who are originally from another country, but that may have to do with their comfort level around me. Not surprisingly, more blacks express negative things about whites around me, than the other way around. By all means there are still bigoted whites, but as a whole most are not. I think it is a power perception thing. I have noticed people, of any race, who appear to be of a higher social status/higher education level, or perceive themselves as such when dealing with a person, are less likely to show overt signs of bigotry.
Agreed. It can get real weird when many Black Hispanics deal with "regular" Black dudes and ladies; word is the racism can fly both ways.
Guess what, one powerful guy, in powerful for a few years doesn't undo hundreds of years of no power.
Call me when congress is 12% Obamas and Condis, 20% Jeb Bushes, and 10% Nikki Haley, and looks more representative of the US population. Then maybe we can talk about power.
We need to stop pretending we are post racial. Race will always be an issue, we all have different perspectives that shape our experiences. As soon as we recognize it and move on we have hope. We can't pretend it doesn't exist. We can make sure that our differences do not divide us.

Uh; life in the US ain't that bad for most Black people; otherwise they'd be going to other countries like in Africa by the millions. Us "white" people ain't stopping them from leaving. Sheesh!
Asians and most US Hispanics: same race going by DNA.

Everyone is racist, everyone engages in racial profiling. If you say you don't you're just lying to yourself. It's part of the human experience. Learn to control it so it doesn't control you.
