To me, I am more biased against culture than racism. I don't like certain aspects of some blacks who subscribe to black culture. By black culture, I of course mean the weird dialect (ebonics anyone?), the crummy, derogatory music, the style of dress, etc.
Of course, there are certain whites that do the same thing. I equally espouse a general dislike and discomfort towards them. It has nothing to do with what race they are.

That's actually kind of hilarious - in a horribly pathetic kind of way. It's always the ultra-loser white kids who are thug wannabes. And they just don't get it!
Yes there is still closet racism, the internet is full with them. There is a new reality dating show called Momma's Boy. There is one mother that don't want her son dating other races/ethnic groups.
Wow, I actually got kind of pissed off watching that.
I've dated blacks, Mexicans, etc and no one in my family blinks an eye. I've grown up around mixed racial family since a child, all my cousins are married to Hispanics and blacks. It just doesn't seem like that big of a deal. As long as the woman was nice, why should the mom care? It would be one thing if the guy brought home a hoochie momma from the hood, but come on...

To me it isn't so much hilarious as it is sad... Trying to look, act, and come off as ignorant is the opposite of anything I have ever tried to do out in public. I don't go around dressing like I'm retarded and talk like I'm retarded to score cool points with some loser sluts who find it attractive to date guys that are going no where in life.

Personally, I do not feel that ebonics or the "thug culture" is representative of most blacks. This is a perfect example of associating an extreme stereotype to a group of individuals. Personally, I can come up with a negative stereotype of just about any culture but what good would that do? We need to move beyond stereotypes and start recognizing each other as individuals.
While Whites are told to bend-over and allow millions of non-Whites into Europe, America, Australia,etc no other people are doing it. Why? When Blacks have Africa, Asians have Asia, Arabs have the Middle East.
Where can White people go?
The people who built and invented nearly everything in the modern world are told to cheer on and seal their own destruction. Sorry, I don't want the country to turn into a third world barrio like Educador or made-up of people who never even advanced past the wheel on their own.
And the outsiders let into Europe and America bring the third world society with them -- the crime, the poverty, the gangs, leech off welfare, etc. And in the end Whites are told to embrace this. Yet are <12% of the world's population and declining. Why is Africa, Asia, etc not 'embracing diversity'?
If it's in the closet, how could you accurately level the accusation?
The answer given would accurately reflect the feelings (and prejudice) of the person giving the answer more than the answer itself.
That's very true. Even more elusive are those gentle souls who have NO racist tendencies whatsoever...yet feel DRIVEN to spout racist rants, in the hope that they'll be accepted as "one of the guys"....sort of like a guy who has to PRETEND to like kick-boxing..or mud-wrestling...or arm-wrestling....or football.
If you're a 'closet racist', how would you admit it, without coming 'out of the closet'....at which point, you'd be an ADMITTED racist, rendering the entire point moot.
I don't believe for a nano-second that anybody of any race is 100% 'color-blind'. It's a corny, sappy myth. Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging differences; it's only common sense.
Equal rights and treatment are obviously fair and just, but forced, phony togetherness isn't.

We can acknowledge that are shades are different but that our shades have no bearings on what we are on the inside. We need to move past skin color and look at the character of an individual. I agree that phony togetherness is not the way to go ... It has to come from the heart.
