keep in mind im not going to trust anything you say, but I think white people are keeping the blacks down by using some sorta mental relay, by double talking, and acting as though there on our side, i think my minds hurting trying to break pass your trickery, but i dont think white people are really pass rasism as they claim, and iu think there so good at it, that even them dont know there doing it

one word Affermative Action, that is almost brainwashing to me, White people say we need this yet its stating we need help,m and Im not realy rasist but now that i think about it White people do this to every minority pop. even minority white people(Asl signer), our race, abilities have no concern to other, other then those they effect, but some reason white people feel they need to help out, I think there working a different angle then being our helpers

Im going to take somethings back, not all white are aginst us, only the ones that are helping us are, well let me rephrase that, some of those trying to help us are, mainly the ones in power. For those who wear white sheets, atleast we know wear there coming from, and there just as off beat as us, then theres the ones who knows whats best for us, and are just helping, I do not trust

Ok, let me breath, i personally dont really regard white people as all rasist, but again like I said I think they cant help utilizing some form of tactics that arent normal, and this is all white people, who has ansesters from britian, the others the other white people need not apply, so the greek guy Im not talking about you, but withing in greek and roman history they had black slaves, so dont say history, Im not talking about the jews(this is me being a rasist, jewish is a faith not a race), black people had them enslaved in Africa, but I think there is within white( not the danish, or lirish, I have irish ansestery, not the whateva', and not even the KKK) but those who I cant put this any better but*Point*--> Jesus said a house cant stand aginst itself, black people who skin is "tinted", has allowed white people in our house, and I feel there making it stand aginst itself, and if not the case explain all the problems in Africa and Afircan desendents around the world

why is it that we went from powerful nations, to crisis after crisis, and it just not slavery, we cant blame it on slavery, but its something more, something undetected when living our everyday lives, I think its that illuminatiy, and if it is maybe white ppl, those who are not listed above, dont realy know whats going on themselves, but are mere puns in a great game of chest, a chest set that peicies are brown and white, any colour in between, just chooses a side

Ok disregard most of what Ive said so far, I couldnt clear my head of thought long enough to pick a good example, but here it is:
First they call minorities, of any race MINORTIES, meaning minor
Second the first thing they say to discount there rasism, is I have a black friend, who care, and I have white friend(s)
Third there is more media coverage in the inner city then it is in the suburbs
forth he point out were different all the time
all of these are reasons Im saying they dont even know there doing it. I was talking to my ASL teacher, and he said when he meets a black guy who speaks ASL it doesnt matter, because there community is to small to care about race, he also said tthat people in power like to label them as having a disablity, and they do the same thing to every race, as though we need help, as though we are under them, and they dont want use to see how much they need use, but they put these labels on us, and tell use it helps us, but we dont need there help

we didnt need there help when it came to segergation break down, we did that, but here they go, well they need us lets place new laws for them, and that one of the reasons I discluded the dutch because when they brought us as slaves, they treated use like indentured servant, in fact better then them, And they let us be, they imbrased our differentces, yet still made us equals. Yet there was stillprobably the good old word ******, and to me that word is just like minority

Keep thinking, you’ll pass the threshold of pain soon enough, and then you’ll realize what you’re tryin’ to realize…
I’m not going to repeat what (few) thoughtful people said on here, and I’m not going to diss on the ones who can’t perceive their own actions either, it would be a waste of my time. I will say that dissin’ on someone’s spelling, punctuation, and grammar is a low blow and is ignoring the issue of the question at hand.
Your answer is all around you…
Weather there really is a “secret group” (like the illuminati) or not, the motives boil down to what is already known to you. The real question is, how are people (ALL people) going to overcome such things?

Ok I'm white, but would you notice a difference if I treated you according to how you act or based only on treating you as a black? I'd like to treat you as just another guy but wonder if our perceptions would allow that. Most often it works for me and almost never do I have any difficulty relating to blacks or other cultures . I think we seperate ourselves from one another too much and that kind of thng keeps the racism ball rolling. All I can say is that if someone makes you uncomfortable don't waste your time on such a person. I grew up in the sixties and seen how things used to be and believe me there is improvements since then. But still we have a way to go and the best way to stop it is not teach our kids racist attitudes because it serves no one any good black or white.

Don't be so self absorbed. Black people aren't the only ones who are discriminated. Take a look at someone else's perspective. Everyone is discriminated against. Everyone is racist. You are too. Don't be a hypocrite and blame whites. No one is keeping you from suceeding. You are the only one who decides your future. The only one you can blame for your mistakes is yourself. If you go through life blaming others you'll get nowhere. Instead of wasting your time here go do something productive. Relax and take another look at your life and you'll see the only one keeping you down is yourself. I'm not saying people aren't racist. I know it hurts to be sterotyped and all. You aren't the only one. I agree with you that not all whites are over the racism thing but you can't make the world perfect. I'm not white either. I'm just saying what i think. This is a long lecture by a 13 year old though...... hehe! i'm so mature! not really..............

I think some white people fool themselves. Some people aren't fooling themselves, but by using double-talk and by being two-faced, they think they are fooling non-whites. But I believe people (especially non-whites) have a bullshit detector for that sort of thing. So, if your instinct tells you it's bullshit, then listen to your gut instinct. Now try to trust me on this one...there are righteous white people out there who mean very well, but no matter how well-meaning they are, they can't possibly know what it's like to be something other than white. Those people are not bad-hearted, however, and it's worth trying to communicate with them and form a friendship with them because they are educable. Their genuine good hearts cross the color line, and when they make a mistake, it really is just a mistake--it's not intentional. You really have to take each person as he / she comes your way, and decide on an individual basis whether that person is a true friend who will be on your side through thick and through thin, or if they're just trying to put you on. I know that racism still exists ( and it goes both ways too, you know) but I can tell you we've made a lot of progress since the Civil Rights movement--we just have to not be content and continue to make progress.

No, not unless u live in the south. And there is a bit of racism. But agains all other ethnic groups.there is a simple way of explaining this. No offense, but u are talking against whites and I am one so, simple explanation here goes: A black person will give u a stereo for christmas, a ni***er will steal it. That can be compared to white trash like "trailer trash." Its not just because of color. And the same thing goes for blacks that hate whites. Everyone one is a person regardless of color. It just seems that whites are the oppressors because we are the majority, and thats why blacks are the minority because there are fewer of them. Sorry if I insulted u bout the stereo deal but thats the way it is. And vice versa. People are to deverse nowdays to say that one perticularly hates the other. Hate is equal but keep in mind that there ARE racists on BOTH sides and thats to their mishappening that they should hate someone for such an uncontrollable part of life as being born into your skin.

I understand what you mean. I am a white person my self and sometimes I find my self saying more liberal thing than I believe when I am around a black person. I guess it is just because in my subconscious I feel a bit guilty for being white. But I am Greek, and Greeks never mistreated black people not even in history. So I dont think I deserve this kind of bashing, and I think that sometimes people like you have become the real racists. I dont blame you though, white based societies have, and still give you hard time, but I guess it is your responsibility to treat people individually, kick racists but respect people who respect you, as you would expect from a white person not to consider you a thief, crackhead etc. just because of your colour. Personally I am not a racist and I dont expect any recognition for that, I am just not one. But if people bash me for being white and having blue eyes, then I consider them racists and lower than me, because they havent bothered to get to know me better they just judged me because of my skin colour, which is the foundation of racism no matter the side it comes from. Take care, and I do understand what you are saying and I am sorry to hear that.

Us whites have a bad history of hurtin non-whites, and keepin them down in North America. That's for sure. I won't argue with you on that. I know that it still goes on too. There are millions of whites that still look down on non-whites simply due to their skin color and all the bad media that non-whites get from white-owned media comanies.
I just urge you to be careful in judging whites as a group, as bad. The problem with prejudice is that it judges all of a same color to be the SAME; but it just isn't true. some non-whites don't have strong character just like many whites don't. The point with racial problems is the judgement. When we judge without really knowing the individual, we make a big mistake and make an enemy of someone who could be a great supporter.
Try to be a role model for other non-whites and show respect for people of all colors even when the whites around you show their petty judgements and immaturity.

Yeah ok, you caught me! I spend all of my time focussing on being the best whitey I can be. My every waking moment is consumed by new and inventive ways to keep a brother down without being detected. I'm a menace to society, I should be instantly put to death!
Get a fluckin grip! I have better things to do with my time than worry about everybody's color and decide whether or not to victimize them as a result of their heritage. I got **** to do!
People who victimize minorities, and minorities that look for people who are victimizing them are all spending way too much time pitying themselves.
I don't care if you trust anything I say. I wouldn't even be writing this for your pitiful *** if there was anything good on television.

yes they really suck if they actually believe that racism it isn't still going on everydaythe are fools. everyday we are being put down by them even when they dont realize they are doing it
no all white people arent the the same but most are. the only people that would most likley no where are coming from are other minorities. white people wouldnt understand where we're coming from at all and will automatically call us racist.
opression is diffinitely going on in america and white people in power know this.its the reason we cant get our neighborhoods built up and when our neighborhoods are getting built up its because they're trying to push us out
and that for sure is a while known FACT

You have no idea what you are talking about, but as you will not listen I will not say anything else but that you really really really need help especially since you are trying to create a problem by this question. Funny, your nickname is "enlighten me" yet you are the most closed minded bigoted person I have seen in awhile! (Yes, a bigot can be of any race.) The only one keeping you down is yourself.

You are grouping all white people together which isn't fair. There isn't a secret conspiracy to keep any one down. People can do that all by themselves by not being educated and not trying very hard. Personally I associate and work with many people of many different races and nationalities. They are people, not black people, Chinese people, Russian people, Jewish people, Arabian people, or green people. They are people and I treat them as I would like to be treated.
