without it seeming like they are being petty or something? Racism runs in more than one direction. I'm tired of being discriminated against because I'm white.

Victim power. Being a perceived victim is a powerful thing in this politically correct world. To allow white people to claim any victim status greatly decreases the political power of self-proclaimed "victims" that are non-white; thus society is brainwashed by our lovely media (and vote-whoring politicians) into reacting with outrage and violence whenever a white person expresses anything about race, while any other race (automatically presumed to be victimized by the white man) can joke about it and even spew forth racial epithets such as "white boy" and "cracker" and have everybody laugh and applaud -- including the weak-minded white people!. Bottom line -- This is a sick, sick world.

Yes, I have been discriminated against. It is silly the way all races will show racism. Even if we was all the same color, people would find something else to hate others for. We all have to live together in this world. Makes no sense.

"white" encompasses many ethnic races so it is harder for whites to claim someone is being racist towards them unless the person discriminating knows the person's race. It sounds like you have been a victim of stereotyping.
racism: The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
stereotyping: A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image. One that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.
If you are tired of it, think how people who are affected by racism on a daily basis because of the color of their skin, feel.

How old are u kid 3? because this govement is so screwed up that you cant touch a black guy without it being a hate crime. we just came out of a time where blacks where hated so now the goverment is trying to make up for it. they where baging on blacks for 300 years so now we have black hstory month. but its the same with native americans and even before that in like the 1500eds and you dont see native history month. if they want one thing than they should do it to every race but every one feels sorry for the blacks like they were the only ones who were persicuted by the whites or any other race for that mater. to answer your question its because the goverment and the judicial system favores black people because they feel like their the only ones that have bad things happen to them and their race.

You and me both. If I say someone is a racist no one listens to me, but if people call me a racist they all look at me. It is a double standard.

Its actually because blacks now have more than equal rights and are pushing for and wanting more. We need to fight back and hold on to what we have left by bringing this bull **** to the light and calling it what it is.

You can claim all you want to. Just don't expect anyone to listen.
