I have to agree with this statement. the wealthy whites are all for liberal agendas, all the while praying to GOD no minority ever moves into their posh neighborhoods, LOL...poor blacks are pain in the a** period, nevermind racist.

Yes, blame it all on poor minorities. The people that have the least effect on everybody. You probably deserve to have pain in your @ss.

Funny thing is, there's more talk about "race" here than there is in REAL life. In my day-to-day life, I have tons of friends that are black, asian, cuban, russian, pakistani, brazillian, french, and white. Guess what? Not one of my black friends plays the race card, ever. Not one of my white friends (many of whom are upper-middle class) are "worried" over blacks moving into their posh neighborhoods.

There are MORE people like the friends I have, than there are ones that worry about diversification of their neighborhoods and/or play the race card.

The race card players and diversification worriers are a MINORITY and as such, make the most noise so they get noticed.

Advice: don't feed their need for attention. Ignore them, and they will fade away and the rest of us "normal" folks that don't care about what color someone's skin is, will simply go about our daily lives befriending those that treat us as equals, respect us as people, and share the same ideology that we are ALL human regardless of the color of our skin.

For the record ... I'm white. I'm also blind. I don't see skin color anyway. All I know are "people", and that's how others should "SEE" people as well.

This is probably a pretty accurate post. Older, upper class white, had enough resources financially to keep totally away from minorities, never had to goto school with any, so whatever racist "minorites ain't s***" attitude they learned from parents going back to slavery days, they were probably able to keep it b/c of the financial ability to stay in their own world. They tend to carry a bit of a snooty, elitist attitude.

Ederly Asians and Hispanics have such strong cultural ties that although they're in America, many want to isolate themselves into their own community, speak the language of the motherland and god forbid one of their kids marries out of race. A ederly Asian especially would just flip! (unless its maybe Will Smith or somebody like that)

And yes, even though I am black, i will be the 1st to admit, poor blacks are a pain in the ass and too many still use slavery as an excuse. Thats an excuse for the black people of yesterday. Traditionally in this country, whenever a neighborhood went bad, it expereienced "white flight" b/c historically thats who has had the money to cut out. But now in many areas (Miami, los Angeles, Parts of NYC), u have "black flight" going on also b/c as blacks move into the middle class, many become embarrased an annoyed by ghetto antics and want to move far away and not associate with the pain in the ass poor blacks and hispanics.

i haven't seen too many "i hate black people" threads, but i've seen tons of "lets hold whitey accountable for tea parties, the KKK, alllllll hate crimes, and my dinner that got burned on the stove"

that would make me a little angry towards people who generalize against me.
In math class I learned the term "standard deviation." Ron is right. Not every American black or white behave this way, but enough of us do that all we end up doing is hurting ourselves by hurting each other. We are stupid. The only person you can control is yourself. How do you contribute to the problem of the racial division in this country. And if you think your ugly posts on this forum don't count. Think again. What is you vision and goal of race relations in a America? How do we get there from here? Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

Absolutely True!! But too many people don't focus on how far we've come. They don't focus on how to keep heading in the right direction. They focus on how it still isn't perfect and how that lack of perfection requires more of us.

I have to disagree. I'd finger middle to upper class blacks and poor whites.
