I am now hearing more and more how African American racism towards whites is far more widespread than anti-black racism. To further the point, look at the extract written by a Bahamian tour guide who recently dealt with African-American tourists:

So the Jitney from the place, driven by our friend, goes out one day on the little island tour and all. The thing was packed full of Black Americans (Again, I've never even heard of such a thing), and there were a grand total of three White Americans onboard. My fam wasn't on there, but they knew the one white couple who went along.[MOD CUT/copyright]

The Bahamas- Racist Black Americans: A Takeover

It seems we have swapped one form of racism for another, and even foreigners are noticing.

Believe it or not, when African-Americans faced the same type of subjugation right here in the US years ago; Europeans thought white americans were idiots just the same.

Pffffffft....West Indians are often VERY contemptuous of whites. Often moreso than any other group I've met. The OP is obviously confused.

However, I want you to know that I stay up all night worrying about what Caribbean black folks think. It's so important to me.

always surprises me when i go to certain parts of the US and there are a lot of black people - always forget it has such a large black population outside the west coast. dont know what to make of the white/black tension in the country. it can be amusing, but also somewhat annoying.

Bleh...the "tension" is highly overrated. I don't even notice it for the most part.

Outside of the few incidents that pop up from time to time, whites and blacks barely pay each other any attention.

I live in a racially mixed area of Boston and the black Americans I know (quite a few) are very warm toward me and great people in general.
