surely you jest. have you been living under a rock? America has figured out the legal solution to racism but i'm talking about the people. if you are white, there are blacks that would slit you're throat because you are white. and vice versa. but those are the extreme racists; the white supremacists, black hate groups and ghetto thugs. if you are social in any way, you hear all kinds of racists rhetoric from white people in all financial and social strata. that is,if you are white. they play nice in there are blacks around.
if you want evidence of white racism, the blacks can give it (and a lot of it appears in newspapers too). I don't have as much evidence of black racism but I've got black friends that do. I find you use of the word "evidence" here very troubling.

GTFO with this bullshite. I'm white, was born in the South, and have spent most of my life in the Midwest. Life experiences have taught me that people won't frick with you unless you give them a reason to.

Why is it that everyone wants to say "We need to talk about it, to bring attention to it", but then no one ever gives any examples as to what exactly it is they think is racist nor what their solution is.
excellent question. but we do need to talk about it and get each others views. the problem is no one WANTS to talk about it (in an honest fashion). I certainly do not have the solutions but I suspect they start with mutual respect of the other person and a solid scientific knowledge of what race actually is and how little different we all are as human beings. our DNA and Intelligence of ALL races are virtually identical. but since we've lived segregated lives our "culture" has evolved separately. and, in America, many of the blacks have refused to evolve culturally but will not admit it. they are racists too. the old testaments story of the tower of Babylon has many implications today. and frankly, America is probably one of the least racists countries around (at least those that are diverse) but americans have always been very introspective and that is one of the reasons we are the greatest country in the world. alas, that seems to be disappearing.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but black culture glorifying having "baby mamas" instead of wives and violence against police has a lot to do with this.

There’s a whole lot of truth in this thread.
Pop is right. I can’t stand him getting on his soap box. Maybe he is trying to distract from his team’s struggles this year. With that said, they’ve done quite well without a top player...anyway...
I think that people are labeled racist too easily. Is someone racist because they joke about someone of another race? Obviously, if you commit a hate crime, or negatively impact someone else’s life because of their color, then yes.
Is it racist if white people tell a black joke around the coffee machine at work?
Is it racist when blacks use the word ‘****’ and justify it being ok because it ends in ‘a’ and not ‘er’?
Is it racist when you stereotype someone by constantly saying they are privileged?
Why is it so difficult to admit that maybe a minority group can be racist towards or majority group?
From the perspective of myself, a middle age, educated, employed, white guy...I’ll happily admit that there is white on black racism, but it should be noted that it exists in many other forms in this melting pot of a country. Unfortunately, it seems that the media and soapbox speakers don’t want to acknowledge that.

I just really DGAF about the internet hot topic of racism anymore. It’s run it’s fricking course and I’m tired of it being shoved in our faces all the time
My everyday life is the same exact way it’s been forever.. I’m respectful to people, people are respectful to me.... however, I can see that some people are crazy for many different reasons, and they come from all walks of life

The U.S. is NOT better than 99% of other countries. The only idiots that spew this nonsense are mostlikely white, ill-informrd/never been anywhere else or both. I've been to developing countries with more civilized people and leadership than the United States.

Yeah, and which countries are those?

So you can’t answer which countries? He asked a direct question based on your own comment.
