The one the media and the democrats are trying to start. Those of us who train in the martial arts (that doesn't mean karate, FYI), do not randomly shoot people. We address threats when necessary. I'll shoot anyone who is a threat to me or my family, no matter their race, intentions, whether they were previously friendly, etc. You only have one life to live. It would serve you well to develop a similar mindset.

And you are correct. Many of the same behaviors that blacks have been accused of increasingly typify poor white communities. In fact in parts of the Appalachia 40% of the kids are being raised by their grandparents because their parents are incarcerated in a variety of drug and petty crime related issues.


But the white bigots will never mention that.

They seem to be very antisocial but pretend to be tough online. They would never say these things out loud to a person of color.
These two posts sum up perfectly what ive read on here for years.

I let it go and kind of laughed because I would have destroyed this skinny ass dude if he tried anything. But isn't that racist? Should I report this? It this a hate crime?
1. Looks like one of the 8 million stories of mental cases in the bright lights of the big city!

2. If he's been seen harassing others, definitely report it, and let the cops and DA determine whether it's a hate crime.

Racist, yes. But it really is just name calling.

Tell me what black people as a whole have done to whites collectively that have been racist? There isn't much, if not anything.

Nobody will reply to your question because racism by blacks towards whites has never happened. Blacks have never prevented whites from voting or getting a job. There's been no housing discrimination against whites by blacks, nothing. Black people can be prejudiced yes. Racist, I don't think so.

Some black people are definitely racist against Asians and Hispanics though.

How do you know that there has never been housing discrimination by blacks against whites?

Maybe not institutional racism, but individual racism is alive and well in black Americans. The dictionary describes racist as"a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another." Remember the movie, ' White men can't jump'? Sounds pretty racist to me. The belief that blacks cannot be racist is just a cop out.

I agree with you. That idea that blacks can't be racist is a cop out and it's BS. I say it all the time to family and friends. And just like another poster said, blacks when I've lived in the hood have been racist to Asians too (and vice versa) so the idea that only whites can be racist is foolish.

However, it's still sort of a miniscule thing to compare some name-calling that can be brushed off to the other side.
