Please give backing evidence including forms of racism, whether subtle or blatant, such as discrimination, oppression, violence, white privilege, affirmative action, systematic bias, crime, political correctness, police injustice, quotas, subsidies, welfare, prison, etc. and whether it depends on age and place.
So who gets the prize in this no win poll?
Divide and conquer still works after all these centuries.
I can only speak for myself, but the only folks who are angry and resentful about my success are white people. As much as some say they want black folks to get a good education, job, be law abiding citizens, have children within marriage, etc., when they encounter black people who are doing just that, they have a problem with them. It truly boggles the mind.
The hell with those white racists. They don't owe you a thing especially since it sounds like YOU stepped up and took care of business. BTW: I'm "white".

This is something that I have also experienced personally. I started working for a government agency (the VA) and found that my supervisor has less experience, less schooling (certificate) and is not a veteran but someone managed to to become a high level supervisor based on (white priviledge or a family member in the system) I do not what, but has questioned every move that I make for no apparent reason. I have heard snide remarks regarding my BS degree and years of experience and even her supervisor has pointed it out to her as well.
You don't know, or did you just wake up? Blacks aren't exactly well known to register and vote.
Came out of the woodwork for obama.
Also, ACORN.
Really because my mom was very clear about wanting me to register to vote as soon as I was able, and tok me with her to the polls as a kid. And sure enough I have voted in just about every election I have been able to, but I did miss one of those special middle of the summer special local ballots about 8 years ago.
There is no such thing as "racism" against whites. RESPONDING to the ignorant behavior by the bigoted, racist segment of whites, doesn't make a black person racist.

Yes there is. I think what you mean is that the racism against Whites isn't the kind of racism where someone or some group in power is discriminating.
Persons of color in general. By an extremely high margin. Anyone else who believes otherwise is completely in the dark. Check stats on the web on some clear racial divides when it comes to jobs, when it comes to police mistreatment, when it comes to education. It's not even close.
What is true, however, is that poor whites are becoming..well, not equally as ostracized, but ostracized nonetheless. Increasingly America is becoming a have vs have nots. The problem is that most persons of color are thrown into the have nots solely because they are persons of color.

honestly you can not tell the truth by stats. One of the first things one learns when taking statistics courses, is that the numbers really do not mean anything but what the interpreter wants them to mean.
no black person is getting that sentence that white kid got in texas for killing 4 people.
