Why would anyone feel they were not? I work with all races and hear every one of them talk down the other races and they do it face to face. It's just part of life in the real world.
People learn from each other by sharing when they have civilized, rational, constructive discussions and debates. There has to be a willingness to listen and an open mind and not to take what is said personal. It also can't be about "me" vs "you". It has to be about "us".

No, that is your world - wherever that is. I can only imagine what level these people are at that they spend every day race bashing.

You know what? I'm not racist. I don't look down on people based on race. I judge based on the individual because I would want someone to do the same for me. I feel that it is only right to do so. I consider racism something that is taught. No one is born a racist. It is something developed from being taught.

It's a hard topic to discuss.
I feel like one reason there is a "me vs you" mentality is because of trust issues. Some people have anger and mistrust. In order for there to be an "us" conversation, it will require mutual respect for one another, it requires both parties wanting good for the other.
Shortly after that tragic encounter between Zimmerman and Martin on a February night last year in Florida, and before many facts of the case were known, campaigners from across America jumped to the conclusion that the case was a clear and prime example of everything that’s wrong with the US, especially regarding race relations. Zimmerman, in their eyes, was a racist and a murderer.
In making this argument, however, liberal campaigners had to twist the facts to fit their simplistic storyline. Zimmerman was initially described as ‘white’, but after it became known that he was of Hispanic background, they invented a new term, ‘white Hispanic’, so as to continue the white vs black narrative. NBC edited a recording to make him sound like he had made a racist comment about blacks, which they later had to admit was doctored. Zimmerman was portrayed as a racist monster, yet it was revealed that he had many black friends, including a black girlfriend in high school. He reportedly voted for Obama. All in all, he didn’t fit the campaigners’ image of him as a KKK member.

Apparently other Americans also recognize that the sources of racism are different today from what they were in the past. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 31 percent of blacks think that most blacks are racists, while 24 percent of blacks think that most whites are racist.
This is so funny, even though its another whiney BS excuse for failure. Keep whining "racist" and wallowing in self-pity instead of growing up and working to make things better for yourself. Keep blaming everybody else for your situation. And expect to stay in that sorry situation that YOU made for yourself!
