How do you define racisim? For my whole life I've heard African Americans talk about white people being racist. In some cases they are correct and in others they are wrong but immediately assume someone is racist if they do not get what they want. You can take the exact same circumstances with a white person and you are just a butthole but if the person is black you are automatically labeled "racist" Do all black people like each other? No, of course not but why (not always but often) is a white person labeled racist if they have a personality conflict with a black person? Personally, I think it is a very serious word with serious implications and it is thrown around to losely. I've been in businessess where I was the minority and was treated very differently than other customers. Are black people racist? If racisim is simply a matter of being treated differently due to color then millions of white people are discriminated against by blacks everyday. What are your thoughts?

Well of course-black people are humans too.
The issues of "how black" a person's skin tone is, or if a black "acts white" by not adopting ghetto speech.
Ask about what they think of the asian markets in their neighborhood.
The thought that you can't be "racist" if you've been subjected to "prejudice"

I do understand what you are saying. I'm not white or black so I think you can get a good outside view with what I see.
NOT ALL but many black people seem to use the race card in many situations. I feel that they take advantage. If a black man calls another black man a "n i g g e r" or "n i g g a" it's okay. If any other race so mush as whispers the word they automatically think they are referring to a black person. While everyone knows any man of any race can be a "n i g g e r" It just means to be nasty and dirty. At least in my language that's what it means. Many of the "African Americans" (which I don't see how they can call themselves African sense they were born in America, and did not immigrate here) feel that white people owe them something just because they are black. Slavery happened many years ago, and it did not happen to any of the ones alive today. Every race has been held as slaves to another race at 1some time in history. If anyone in America has the right to be mad about anything it's the Native Americans. So I say yes Many African Americans are the most racist people I have ever known to walk the face of this planet. "REAL" Africans from Africa can't even stand black Americans. I know this for a fact. And again I'm not black or white.

It's unfortunately true, that some African Americans are racists. How many other races have two languages (Ghetto and white). All black people are capable of talking normally, but some choose not to, probably due to peer pressure and the lowest common denominator factor. (i.e. group behavioral studies have proven that when there are more people in a group, it will cause the overall intelligence to decrease exponentially)

Racism is not confined to a particular race or culture. Anyone, irregardless of their skin color, can be intolerant.
This is a controversial subject, but several black writers have complained about the racism of blacks hating whites. And at least one author that I know of (a native of Africa) has written about American blacks hating native Africans.

People of all races can be racist. I think the reason that black people feel like the bad things that happen to then in their lives happen because they are black, is probably because everything bad that has ever happened to black people in this country was because they were black.

Everyone is racist, not just blacks. Everyone has some form of racism in them.

nicely once you're Ethiopian, possibilities are extreme.. you're likely black. that's not real each of the time.. I comprehend this... notwithstanding the final public in Ethiopia is black people in colour so i'll purely make that assumption. anyhow, in case you're a bigot in the route of your own race... does that extremely cosntitue you being a bigot? I dunno, I advise I hate white people and all yet that would not make me racist because i'm white (kidding). At any fee... i don't think of you could extremely say you don't like an finished people till you know each very last one in all those people. till then... you're purely being judgemental my chum. Being judgemental feeds lack of expertise... and shortage of expertise would not help anybody out. So do your self and favour and forestall being judgemental.

I think that african americans are more racist then white people. They always seem to have a chip on their shoulder about things that people today had no control over and also, it didnt affect their lives. If anything they have benefited from it now. I hear people asking for things like reparations and its kind of disturbing. I think everyone creates their own destiny and everyone gets what they deserve.
