We've come all the way around the block. You seem to agree that anti-white hate is not limited to a fringe element within the black community. You seem to agree that anti-white hate is fairly mainstream within the black community. That was my original point. You seem to agree that anti-white hate is fairly mainstream within the black community but you offer all kinds of reasons and excuses as to why it exists and that it's ok.
It's not just limited to anti-white. It also includes anti-American because of all the injustices perpetrated by whites and America in history. These sentiments exist in spite of the tremendous gains made in race relations since. I am not saying that there are not reasons for these sentiments in the black community. I'm just saying that it does exist and it is dangerous. I will say that I think such sentiments are a greater detriment blacks than to whites.
It's just like an individual harboring hatred, bitterness and resentment toward another individual for wrongs perpetrated against them in the past. It may be tough to get past but hanging on to such emotions will only undermine you as a person and prevent you from reaching your full potential.
Remember the guy who shot up the Amish school house a while back and killed several Amish girls? One of the girl's grandfather, who had to be hurting immensely, said, "Lord forgive him for he knows not what he did". There was a giant of a man. The Amish went to the perpetrators widow to comfort her and to let her know that they held no animosity toward her. Those are the Amish. What good people. Learn a lesson, my friend!

First of all, I don't "seem to agree" about anti-white hate isses as you spelled out above. SHOW me some numbers to back up your "belief" that anti-white hate is mainstream. I simply do not know whether or not that's true. Certainly someone must have done some studies on that question.
Next, you go on to say that "anti-white hate" is also ANTI-AMERICAN. Hummm. Again, please show me any kind of information you have to back up that position. Have you got anything?
As for your comparison of the oppression of the black community in America throughout history to the killings of the Amish girls, well, I am afraid it seems to me that that is a bit pollanna-ish and inappropriate.
The SPLC is liable to list such groups as The Minutemen as a "hate group". You know, the group who is trying to assist the government in stopping illegal border crossings.
Hatred of whites within the black community far exceeds any hatred of blacks within the white community. Anti-black hate sentiments among whites are pretty much limited to certain extremists and fringe groups. Anti-white hate sentiments among blacks is pretty much mainstream. Recognition that serious problems exist in certain segments of the black community does not amount to anti-black or hate.

Of course, this is your opinion, right? If not, would you produce evidence to back up your claim?
Austin13, your motivation here is transparent. You are simply trying to make people here who oppose Barack Obama feel as though they are on the wrong side. Your methods only serve to turn more people against you.

Don't any of you suppose that's the eventual evolution of dire economic times? To ignore the facts of the present times and immediately move to "racism" is a bit short sighted and maybe even just plain negligent.

It is not just the economic times. That explanation, taken in isolation, only minimizes the pervasiveness of racism. Yet, it is also true that in dire economic times racist attitudes bubble to the surface.

There are some racist but to label anyone in opposition racist because of that is intellectually dishonest.
