I would consider myself to be liberal in MOST of my views. That being said even a great fool can figure out that the more dark skinned people you have in an area the higher the crime is. I don't pretend to have the answers for this but it is what it is and the people that are too politically corect to acept this are fools.

In my expeirence the least racist people you will find are upper class white people that live in predominantly white cities.

there's a reason people in the south are racist

Some people keep hammering the racism issue, making it the center of their lives.
During slavery, when times were really bad, there was less talk of racism then today... And later, there were disgusting discriminatory laws and segregation. Those had to go and one way was to protest and talk against them. But, what's the point hammering this today? Again and again. Will racists change their minds because of so much talk? The only result is people who made racism talk a center topic in their lives, feel bad about themselves. In reality, it doesn't change much.

Sure is.

They were taught it as children at their parents and grandparents knees.

I hope there is a special place in hell for people who teach children to hate.

Am I racist? No
Have I ever discriminated? Yes


I don't hate, I don't love either, I just go about my business, you want to come along for the ride, go ahead I don't care what race you are, but you better respect me. If you don't respect me, I don't care what race you are, I'm not going to like you, but the fact I'm white makes me a racist I guess, since according to all the people I hear who throw the racism and racists words around like the world is about to explode pretty much state 'Only white people are racist'.

Welcome to the club.

What does that have to do with being a racist?

Tired of hearing the word racist or race card, but I do agree with you. Anyone, if you are not black that voted for any other candidate is a racist..
