actually making a stereotype based on a race - yes that is.
maybe instead of using lame emoticons or gifs you should try to work on reading comprehension.

I'm a 40 something dad with several pre-teen children who do not have a racist bone in their body. Unlike me, they have never had their grandparents or parents utter the word "****", nor have they ever had their mother or I speak disparagingly towards any ethnicity or minority. We make it a point not to do so.
My point is, I know I'm not the only parent who does this. There are an entire generation of kids growing up that are coming into society without any preconceived notions about blacks, mexicans, asians, etc.
When these kids grow up and start watching the news and experiencing life in the real world where do you think they are going to see racism the most? In the white people they grew up around? or the blacks who get scholarships, jobs, instead of them bc of the color of their skin? or the minorities that constantly claim racism every time they don't get their way?
My point is that blacks have no room to accuse anyone of racism. There is no KKK, no segregation and the systematic institutional racism that blacks used to rail against is now clearly slanted in favor of the minority.
I do not believe the majority of blacks have any interest in eliminating racism, they seem to revel in it. I think it's easier for most of them to blame others for their own bad decisions.
Frankly I am sick of it. I am not sure black people in general are smart enough to get out of their own way and start making life better for themselves by graduating school, working hard, staying together as a family and holding their children accountable. I think most would rather try to look cool instead of doing the right thing.
Black people, your future is on you as an individual and as a family. Nobody is going to do it for you. This group-think woe-is-me-bull shite needs to change or you'll be right where you are 100 years from now. You live in the greatest country in the history of the world, get off your collective asses and make something of yourselves. And if you can't, it won't be because this generation, or the next, is holding you back. It's on you.
I'll get off my soap box now.

respectfully, what I wrote is accurate. Reverse racism aka affirmative action is alive and well in nearly every major college and corporation throughout this country. And the KKK is long gone. I'm willing to bet that the disdain for other races is more alive in the black community than it is in the 'burbs.

First off, we're all racist. We may fool ourselves into thinking we're not, but every single one of us think differently about people in other skin color. It is simply human nature
Thinking differently about other people isn't racist.
