If you speak out against so-called "black culture", you're still called a racist, even though your dislikes are not aimed at any race, only at behavior that is exhibited predominately by a particular race.

For example, I can't stand those stupid thumping stereos. Around here, it's mostly white kids with them, so I can speak out against them. When I lived in a different city, I was a racist honky because I hated black people because I spoke out against those stereos. However, I also used to live in a city that was about 80% black, and they passed laws against those things to the extent that you would go to jail for violating the noise ordinance, but since it was blacks passing the laws, they can't cry racism.

So, if despising bad behavior that has become part of "black culture" is racist, then I'm racist. However, I don't care what color your skin is if you're exhibiting bad behavior.

^^Why are you so quick to label blacks as quick to cry racism? I don't appreciate that one bit. I expect to be treated fairly by society and am willing to give society the benefit of the doubt in a situation in which racial undertones may play a role, and so do the vast majority of black people in this country.

That is a loaded question, isn't it??

Because my wife is a minority and my daughter is bi-racial (not black) but I'm never called racist by anyone but blacks.

This is an old thread, and since that time similar topics are up and going in the city vs city room. Please search the city vs city room for those topics and add to them rather than dredge up this very old one here. Thank you.
