Are the whites really trying to oppress negroes? Do whites really think they're better than blacks? So many of the threads on this forum seem to accept this premise as true, but is there really such rampant racism by whites?

With the exception of a few new stories about white against black racial crime, I've never seen seen white racism.

I copied and pasted this, and I am going to post it at the bottom of all my posts from now on!

Watch out for the main stream media now. They will start having pity parties for the minorty races, because the government, and their rich contributors know the common citizen has had it! We want our country back! You will see more and more of this as it gets closer to the 2008 election. The media/government wants American citizens to turn against their fellow citizens, who are against amnesty, and for legal immigration only.

White people aren't racist, but you are (whatever color you might be). The posts in this thread are dripping with hate. Anyone who isn't totally brain dead can see it. Denying the facts don't make them untrue...it's right there in black and white...

If you are saying I am a racist, because I say our country is in chaos while illegal aliens are running amuck, and that it is "okay" to talk about whites, who have been beaten up by other races, because they are white, then maybe YOU should look in the mirror.

Default Racism

It all boils down to insecurity and the mask we hide behind. When I married my Hispanic husband and his family ex-communicated us-I thought it was because I wasn't Hispanic. Later I realized that the bottom line was jealousy and insecurity on their part. They were ALL FAT and I wasn't after having (then 9 children). They were miserable in their own lives and wanted to make ours miserable- because we were smiling a LOT and happy. Over the years I have watched racial abuse.

My dad was a terrible racist (he is/was white) and tried to make me one when I was young.. What drove his attitude was insecurity in his own self. I know this because I saw him treat other whites badly also-except then, since he didn't have a racial connection to blame-he used their lack of money, social status, age, etc...

Finding fault is a natural tendency of the deprived, empty and irritated heart.

I'm gonna move on from this "discussion". I don't have the desire or the patience to try and convince this type of person of anything. Your posts are loud, hateful, and small minded and are overtly racist...go to another thread away from your few contemporaries and spew your hate, see what kinids of responses you get. You are a very small minority with a big mouth...and I don't have time to work with such a lost cause. But I'll pray for you...

Default Racist country ??

If this is really a country full of white racists, someone explain to me how it is we have Martin Luther King Day, affirmative action, Black Entertainment television network, Miss Black USA contests, numerous rich black sports stars and entertainers, over-representation of minorities in advertising, and an unrelenting amount of non-white immigration into America.
These hardly sound like the traits of a "racist" country. There is very little true racism by whites in America.
People will claim that many whites are racist because they choose to live in mostly white areas, or send their kids to mostly white schools. This has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to so with safety and good education (in other words, avoiding the bad behavior and problems that are prevalent in most non-white areas).

This has to be one of THE best posts I have seen the entire time I've been reading these message boards. Well done. I couldn't agree more!!

It's a country that celebrates Martin Luther King Day, and it's also a country where a black man can get dragged to death on a Texas country road.

It's a big country, filled with lots of great people and lots of scumbags of every shape & shade. Like most everywhere else.

Political correctness as far as those breaking the law regarding immigration is a danger to society though,while people can have their own cultural histories there must be a certain guideline for assimulating into American culture also,otherwise this country will be seriously divided at the deepest levels.

At some point as far as racism,I've seen every possible ethnic background show it.With political correctness,it can also be used as a tool for hushing disagreement sometimes.
