Jealolus of what? You should explain yourself better. Also, if blacks are racist because of what happened in the past, how will things ever get better? If you are raised in a household that holds grudges, you will too. Just like whites that are raised in a family that is racist. Then, the racism just keeps perpetuating itself over and over. We all have to somehow learn to learn to look at all people as individuals not a race. I have run into racism of all kinds, and it is disturbing no matter who is practicing it.

Thats interesting, I always thought that in order to be racist you had to have power over another and be able to do what you want over them
Learn something new everyday

So why is that white people are the only targets of being labelled racist?

Do you think blacks CANNOT be racist?

No, some blacks are racist as are some whites.

It may multiply itself, but not necessarily to the same intensity. While racism still exists in America, it's not as culturally-strong as it was in the 50's 60's.

Obama would've NEVER been elected in the 50's 60's

Why was there no outcry when this guy was one of the key speakers at the million man march?

He is just as racist as David Duke.

Blacks can definitely be racists. I have met so many blacks that think that their **** doesn’t stink the least little bit. When I was living in Atlanta I actually heard blacks talking about how silly and stupid white people are. I’ve actually been told to my face by black psuedo-intellectuals that Caucasians are an inferior race and that they could prove it scientifically. Come to think of it, I heard a lot of bat **** crazy nonsense during my time in Atlanta.

Glad to be back in The Lone Star State.
