Tell me again that racism is dead in this country.

Thank you, seriously.

That's what my mother did with me and I'm glad that she did. We in turn instill the same beliefs in our own children. I can't change the world but I can definitely effect change within my own home.

I think we are genetically programmed to look down on other groups in order to make ourselves feel superior. Some of us work at overcoming this better than others.

Even without race coming into the equation, is it not natural to dislike someone that hates you, and to feel you need to resist their actions in some way?

Racism against white people is not racism, it is justified mistrust.

That is why I do not want to live around black people.

They do not trust me.......I do not trust them.

Yes That is why there will never be peace because you demand standards of conduct you yourself refuse to follow

Because White people are the ONLY people in the world that have engaged in racist activity.

NO ONE ELSE HAS.

Besides, what do you mean by "White"? Are you going by the US Census definition of White referring to Europeans, North Africans, and West Asians? Or just Europeans in general? What?

Yes, you're wrong.

Most people, with any sense of decency, consider such thoughts to be pure rubbish.
