Racism is a terrible thing regardless of who gives it. I think this is something most of us can agree upon. However, we rarely hear of condemnation against those who target whites explicitly. Black and Hispanic on white crime occurs in greater numbers than the opposite, yet we rarely see public outcry. Further...even on this forum we see comments about how white people are the problem, white people are stupid, white people are ruining the world, etc. etc. etc. If the same was mentioned of african american or hispanics the thread would be shut down or the poster would be yelled at by every subsequent poster.
So my question....why does it seem that prejudice against White people is tolerated...or even encouraged to some degree? Further...why are white people encouraged to be apologetic (see below).
I want to qualify the apology thing with something that happened in my "Intro to Sociology" class in college. My Soci professor was in the racial relations section of our textbook and she was talking about the injustices that have happened over the years against minorities in the South. She then proceeded to ask all of the white Americans in the classroom to write a "proxy" apology letter to the slaves for the injusticies of our ancestors. Now...I did this because it was for the class and I had no interest in getting on my professors bad side...but I felt uncomfortable doing this. I have done nothing to the slaves...I, to my knowledge, have never hurt anyone. This felt unfair to me and my classmates. It was clearly racially motivated and unacceptable...yet she does this every year. Is it fair?
Its called reverse racism & its something that is often swept under the rug.
Blacks & Hispanics can call us White boy, Whitey, Gringo, or White Trash, but call them a Negro, Mexican, or Wet Back & its on like Donkey Kong.
Let's be clear, floks: Zimmerman is NOT WHITE - not in the least. He is not even close to European-America. The MEDIA PORTRAYED HIM AS ONE OF US IN THEIR GRAND SCHEME TO MAKE US ALL A BUNCH OF RACISTS.

His father is white. The mother is part black or rather partly of African descent.
Let's not be fooled here. He wasn't any Ben Carson...
GTFO with that victim crap...
He may have grown up to be like Ben Carson. He didn't get the opportunity to know,
You are not exactly Ben Carson either. Would your murder be justified?
Indeed, you continue to prove my point.
