Baltimore, eh? Sorry to hear that. That city has been very poorly run for decades and now appears to be completely out of control.

no one is saying it justifies or excuses anything, just that black people partially share the blame as well.

I voted no. There is no such thing as "reverse racism" IMO.

Anyone who thinks there is such a thing, IMO has some sort of superiority complex as if they think they should be treated "special" when it comes to racism.

Do you know for certain that those black people were of the same nation as the ones they sold?

Yes. Friend of mine tried to join a softball team and was told Latinos only. He started an Anglo only team and was sued for racism.

no, but if the conversation is about reparations, does that mean an attempt will be made to go after the descendents of the African kings and rulers who benefited from the triangle trade?

My question is simple: Is reverse-racism an issue in the United States?

Racism is racism... There is no such thing as reverse racism. Racism has been around since the beginning of time and will be here long after you and I are dead.
Today there is just a reverse, of the rolls of the actors in the theater, from that just 100 years ago.

Remember. White people were held in slavery 10x's longer by black people. Ask Moses.

Now get over it and be a blind American.

There are so many "Black Only" basket ball travel clubs. Try having a White Only, anything.
NAACP... Try having a NAAWP!! LOL.
La Raza... Try having the KKK LOL
Congressional Black Caucus... Try having a Congressional White Caucus!! LOL.


You think there isn't a racism problem? You don't have to look any farther than the prison systems and how prisoners are segregated by race.

On the bold.

When has La Raza ever burned a cross in someone's yard or lynched someone.

Too many of you victims of "reverse racism" don't have a very good education regarding American history.

FYI - there are white people in the NAACP and there are Caucuses representing white people of the united states.
