then calling YOU a racist?
See "candykills"...if she hasn't deleted all her offending, anti-white, anti-American trash she pukes up.

Yeah, I can deal with the anti-American trash talk, we hear that all the time. It just irritates me when people like this cry racism when they're called on their own ignorance.

goody...i think you missed my point. i used THAT as an example. The "issue" happens all the time.

I think in this age of political correctness, people in general tolerate racism as long as it's "against" whites. Remember the old term "reverse racism"? What a joke that was. When I see it, I call it what it is.

If this

is what you are referring to, then yes, I get sick of BS like this. Non-whites only think of racism as something white people do. They think when they are rude and racist, they are just clearing things up, not being offensive.

Hatred, prejudice, racism, is that all this country of USA only know. Things get more and more awkward by the day, it seems.
I'm not trying to trash talk about this country, but it's sad our culture is seemingly stepping backwards by the day. How can we as Americans do to prevent this sort of backwards sort of thing. This is awfully sad. Yet, no one seems to acknowledge this sad truth. I heard that truth hurts, but why do we, living in a country much more advance than many countries, go on living in a life of pretentious and phony lives ignoring the fact that we rather be the ignorant ones. and at the same time we aren't illiterate at all.

I think most people even realize what racism is. Most people think of racism in absolute terms. When we are taught racism as kids we can't comprehend what racism is because it doesn't exist for most kids. Kids learn from examples so if the only example they are taught is a white man enslaving a black person then they'll grow up as adult with the same notion. Our school only teach one point of view when it comes to racism.
Most people don't know the difference between racism and judging someone. Judging people is a necessary part of life and theirs nothing wrong with it because often your judgment is built from experience and the media. Self awareness is the key issue, their nothing wrong with judging people as long as you are aware your doing it. When you lose self awareness of your judgment, and rationalize judging people by race as valid, then that is racism.
In sense to be racist one can not be aware that he/she is being racist.

Yes, racism is racism and minorities feel that they cant be racist, but they are wrong. I am so tired of hearing only whites can be racist.

I read her questions and I just don't see what you see, and I think you are going to find that it is just maybe you over reacting, she is just a child asking questions much like you appear to be, you two can choose to either continue to go at one anothers throats and call each other racist all you like, or you two can just knock it off, I haven't seen the kind of things you have said to her and honestly I don't care, there are other more important things in life than to worry about two people behaving childishly

Everybody gets victimized by racism, even white people. But the offense just seems to be magnified when commited by caucasians. I have experienced bigotry from whites, blacks, and other minorities just equally.

Yeah, in high school a Puerto Rican actually said to me "You a racist cracker!". The irony made me laugh for weeks!

Just b/c your skin is dark doesn't protect you from being a racist. I know how you feel.
