I will probably come under fire for this but I tend to agree that it is. If you notice, the KKK isn't out lynching people anymore. If you look at the black population's so called "spokespeople" you see a large variety of race-baiters - Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Cynthia McKinney, etc. Many people agree with them, sadly.
Even if you go back to some of their older leaders who are now gone like Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammed, there was rampant racism. MLK, Jr. was better than all of them because he looked at the United States as a nation that should be colorblind, not judged by race.

No, there are different sides to this issue but sometimes, and many times, yes.
I think a lot of people see too much normal, harmless stuff as racism when it is just that they are either using it as an excuse or paranoid.
Also, a criminal who is a minority said the other day that he did it to show inequality. That's a load of Bull. No wonder high crime is associated with minorities (which are the majority now)! If people don't want to be labled, they should stop shooting up neighborhoods and crap.
Also, some people are just racist and that's annoying. I dunno. I sound racist to some criminals but I've seen a lot of both.

No. The basic reason of racism comes from the hearts of the majorities who want to ignore the rights of the minorities and try to enjoy all benefits to themselves. Because of this greediness the minorities tend to hate the majorities and enmity develops between the two communities and further develops into a major racial crisis. If the majorities behave themseves without greediness, this crisis can be avoided.

So the victims of unjust hates are really the ones who caused the hate?
Motive. What ethnic demographic says "I think I would like to be hated upon today, lemme go make someone hate me"?
No way. Sure there are abberant individuals in every demographic, but overall I just dont see the logic.

No, because years ago when we forced them from there homes, families and countries and made them stay in a boat for months. We started an unintentional war. They will always be racisits against us for what we did. And most of the majority will discriminate against them because they are different and people don't like "different"

Not really. People are always afraid of people who are different than themselves. If everyone in the world was white, there would be racism against black haired people, or short people, or religion, or politics, national origin, fat people, gays, hairy people, dumb people ...

Anyone can be a racist. It's pretty easy. To say that since someone is a minority they cannot hate is folly.

I think that's part of the issue, because minorites continue to exhibit behaviors that continue to reinforce those perceptions.
