Regardless of class, it looks like the only hater around here is you... You have been making broad, sweeping, generalizations for this entire thread. And the biggest hole in your argument is that you keep erroneously calling classism racism. I suppose to incite some sort of drama. Don't judge over half the population of an entire city based on your few little experiences... a city that happens to be the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement and home to the highest concentration of black colleges/universities, with black people of every imaginable income level. You really need to do your homework before you judge. How long have you lived here again?

So, I believe the answer is "no," "racism" does not really exist within a race, except, I suppose, on a very, very limited occasion.
On your last assumption of "no" then how would you explain the fact that many black people feel that whites are superior to blacks?

I stated earlier that I also consider the traditional definition of "racism" in my view on this. Based on the bold, many black people are racist against their own race because they feel white people are "better" or more superior than black people. This is something that has always been a huge part of what is American culture and history - the idea that whites are superior to other races. Not sure why you cannot concede that black people and even other minorities can and do have these sames views of white supremacy.
