Is it real? Absolutely

Is it as bad as Progressives and their media say it is? Not even close.

Do Politicians manufacture racism to fit the demand? Absolutely

Can anyone be a racist? Yes

As a black man, I must say that most claims of "racism" coming from black folks are knee jerk reactions and play into the victimhood mentality.

Lol, where’s your evidence of most of them being just kneejerk reactions?

We need that meme here where the black guy is telling the white Progressive that he's not oppressed, and the Prog replies "you are a disgrace to your race".

It's a simple classification system that is hard wired into the human brain.

Evey human has it and always will.

It exists but much less than it used to be. It seems worse now than in the 70’s but it is still a very small percentage

Social media and 24 hour news cycle has fanned the flames of racism into an inferno.

It’s a shame really

I believe there are few people that simply hate someone because of their skin color. Also, it's a complex issue. If I expect certain behavior's from a particular race due to experience... is that racist?
If I have been attacked by a pitt bull, am I wrong to be wary around other pitt bulls?

90% most likely.

You folks need more racism to advance the revolution than exists. Get to work creating more.

The new and bastardized progressive definition of racism is absolute bullshite.

In their opinion the fact that black people are in prison at a higher rate has nothing to do with the propensity to commit crime, it has everything to do with "systematic racism" caused by whitey.

Yet even in Africa and South America, the dysfunction exists.

How can you seriously make a case that it’s not?

Is it exaggerated? Yes. It’s not as openly blatant as some people like to make it seem.

Where is your evidence of being descriminated against? I'll wait! I can bet all situations lead back to your personal choices.

Racism and prejudice are two separate things.

For example the statement "I only date black women" or "Asians score higher on standardized math tests" are prima facia statements of racism but there is nothing inherently wrong about them if they are based in incontrovertible fact or genuine personal preferences of individual autonomy.

Prejudice on the other hand is forming ignorant assumptions and applying them to the whole without reason.

My most recent experience last week was walking into a restaurant. As soon as I opened the door there were 3 late teen aged AA’s coming out. I held the door open so they could exit and they all just gave me a “mean mug” and looked away. Not a single thank you to be had. Felt very racial
