The form racism most commonly takes in this country nowadays is so-called "color-blindness." Most white people just don't believe racism really exists; any attempt to say it does is "playing the race card." The only exception: if the perceived "victim" of racism is white. Then, white people IMMEDIATELY cry "racism."

Boy you folks are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Oh that's right. They don't teach real history in schools anymore. Just "white people=bad" history now.
Actually, the history I learned in school was, "white people are the only ones who matter."

White people certainly do believe racism exists. CD is full if prime examples of racism. Just look through this one thread and you will see huge amount of racism spewed by the black posters. Most racism in America today is the result of white hating AA's.. White America has cleaned up their act, for the most part. Black America, not so much...

Is this why we have so many young people (college students) on food stamps, many unwanted children and many children being born into thinking the government can solve it all. Keep telling yourself this and ignore the overpopulating of people who live by government handouts.

What's your thoughts about Soros? He seems more evil than the Kochs.

Policies.

Those who throw out the race card every time someone disagrees with their Chosen One, are people who do not, or cannot, ever admit that they were wrong. It's an excuse they use when they have nothing to show, or to prove, their arguments.
