Is anyone sick of the stereotype that all whites are racist? I sure am.
The stereotype is completely false. If all whites were racist, interracial marriages between whites and non-whites wouldn't exist. In fact, interracial marriages between whites and non-whites are becoming more common in the United States. Marriages between White American men and Asian American women are common along with marriages between White American women and African American men.
If all whites were racist, none of them would live among non-whites. There are racially and ethnically diverse cities in America in which whites and non-whites live together. Honolulu, Hawaii and Sacramento, California are good examples. Both of those cities are integrated well and have a high rate of interracial marriage. Multiracial Americans make up roughly 14% of Honolulu's population.
These are good examples that prove that the stereotype is false. I hate it when I see a thread on the City-Data Forum centering around a question asking if a certain city is "racist". It's usually a person of color asking if they will experience any racism if they move to a predominantly white city or town. It's as if they're assuming that all whites are racist.
There are racist minorities out there. The term "white boy" seems to be common among inner-city black youth. There are Latinos claiming whites as the "real illegal immigrants" in reference to Christopher Columbus's discovery of North America and the mass genocides of natives a long time ago; in which whites living today are not responsible for. Then there's the "model minority" stereotype that views Asians as naturally smarter than all the other races. There are probably a few Asians who use this stereotype to their advantage.
Do you see what I mean?
Not all whites are racist. Not all racists are white.
I sure am, considering that ALL races and cultures have people guilty of the same damn thing, and I've been saying that for a long time. But, boy, oh, boy, individuals of other races that I've had conversed with over 'prejudice and racism' sure didn't like it when I pointed that out.
A lot of whites are racist. They're the liberal whites. Because to be a liberal one must also embrace racism as a political tactic: segregate groups and label them 'victims' the ply them with social programs for votes like 'A forty and a carton of cigs for everyone!' It's the democrat way. The party of racism, comprised of racists, perpetually perpetrating racism day in and day out.

I'm tired of the stereotype that minorities are lazy, have kids just to get money from the government, live off of welfare and spend 80% of the welfare check on 20" rims
I don't know - as a white male, why don't you ask my wife of five happy years, a black female, who despises liberals (as we both know they do more harm to minorities than anyone).
Liberals are the ones that stir the race pot, not conservatives or libertarians.
Well my step-dad's white and my mom is black......
People of all races have racists or a better way to say it, racists come in all colors.
Not all gays want to be married.
Not all Christians hate gays.
Not all Muslims hate America.
Not all Liberals are pro-choice.
Not all Conservatives are against a single payer system or universal health insurance/coverage/care.
Not all Liberals are for marriage equality for same sex couples.
The list can go on.
It's better to get to know people as people first and labels second.
It's easier said than done.

You are dead on, of all the people I know, the liberals are the actual racist, I have never heard any of my Conservative Christian friends refer to blacks as ni** ers, it is commonplace among the liberal's I know.
Not all whites are racist. Not all racists are white.
...But it sure works to shut up any objections to "social justice" (*socialist thievery).
