According to Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone Magazine, the Tea Party is full of whites who believe that they are an oppressed minority in the Age Of Obama.

I'm white, and I don't believe I've ever been discriminated against on the basis of my skin color. I know some whites have, but I think it's very rare. Can any whites here describe situations where they're been discriminated against based on their skin color?

I'm not white, but I have seen situations in which people have lost out on opportunities because they were white.

Lots of non-Europeans use tanning services. I don't think that's a great example. Hopefully you're joking.

As long as we have eye sight we will have racial discrimination. Usually it's for one of two reasons. Just stupidity, or fear of the repercussions from other people or the government.
One of the greatest episodes of a TV show that dealt with this was a Whats Happening episode titled nothing personal. Shirley quits her job because she finds out that she was only there because of her color

I'd like to see those statistics. Why do you hate white women?

Having to live in a Socialist state governed by Sharia Law and a Islamic Socialist dictator. It's really too bad Democracy only works when you are in charge
