There is a difference between saying one doesn't "like" and one "hates".

And it's just as unrealistic to think that all black people will "love" white people.
You do realize that racial discrimination is still happening today, right? You do realize that I am treated differently than my white friends due to my skin color, right?

POWER and CONTEXT, key words.

However, I guess some people are so powerless and so unsuccessful that they have to "believe" they a superior to minorities in order to get through life.
Can you make an argument on current events, rather than using history??

You would certainly get my respect if you could screw up the courage and be honest enough to state that you hate white people.
Your post reeks of the entitlement and superiority mentality.

Who cares about getting your respect? Your respect is worthless to me. YOU should be trying to earn MY respect.

Riiiiight. Do they know how much contempt you have for white people? Do you sit around at your dinner table, or have a BBQ, or go out to dinner with your white friends where you discuss how horrible white people are?

I do believe I am better than some people, but not because of race.

There in lies your problem. You assume every white person is in denial of what happened in the past. Newsflash, we're all quite aware of what happened decades ago. How about moving forward like the majority of folks of ALL races have been doing and stop living in the past.

I get that.

and, it seems to be getting worse. Whereas on his first Inauguration Day, President Obama enjoyed a 70% approval rating due to the country being 30% racist, five short years later it appears that the country is 60% racist...obviously, since the president only has a 40% approval rating:

Trayvon Martin.

The black teenagers who were detained/arrested for having the audacity to spend their money at Barneys New York.

Patrick Lumumba, the bar owner in Perugia, Italy whom that tramp Amanda Knox falsely accused of murder to save her own behind.

and on and on

My friends and I discuss race ALL of the time. The other day one of my friends commented on how the minority women at her company were treated differently.
