I agree. Just look at the history of this country. Whites can still take pride when it comes to their ethnicity (Italian, Russian, Polish, etc) but when they start taking pride in themselves at a racial level, that's when things start turning into racism and prejudice.

So if a black person had conquered the Americas wonder if people would feel/think the same? Yet, how many black men were involved in helping develop colonialism, seems selling their own people into slavery was not an issue.

To act like no white men disagreed with oppression of people, would be naive. You act like all white men owned slaves.

Do you know anything about fire science?


Where in the hell do liberals come up with this idiotic crap.

Not sure if you quite understood the context of my post.

If they discriminate so freely than why do the majority of white applicants still get in? If the discrimination was so great then the numbers would be much more equal.The fact is that race plays a factor but it's not the end all be all that you seem to think it is.

You were trying to be sarcastic but it was actually the truth.

No, but I'm sure neither do you either. I can attest that knowing a book version of something =/= you being good at it practically though.

In the United States, race is usually the end all and be all. It's not a small factor. The people that usually deny it are the ones who have never experienced it, so it's easy to downplay racism in America.
