...I have blond hair & blue eyes and live in Brooklyn NY.
I do almost eveything on the "color blind" internet. From banking to shopping. I get no help in stores or malls or any black run eateries.
I was forced into an early retirement (with a much reduced pension) because the Govt would not let AT&T lay off any "minorities".
Not a month goes by when I don't experiance anti white actions.

Of course, if your white and claim to not experience racism you've been trained well.

The million little things that happen on a day to day basis, racial slurs etc. Your trained to cover it up and act like you don't know.

But the biggest cover up of all is black on white murder, assault, robbery and rape. The biggest cover up in American history the past 30-40 years or so. On a typical day in America blacks will murder,rob and rape more whites than the KKK did in its entire long history. Whites will commit about 1-5% of the same crimes against blacks.

And there will be nary a word on the news......

Racism is not primarily regarding race, or better said ethnicity, but what it reads, race-ism, a race for economical domination. The ethnic group that is in front of the race is the only group that racism can apply to because it is the expression of that groups efforts to maintain economical domination in a capitalistic economical system which bred and feeds it. Unfortunately, quite often those efforts for domination are discrimination, bigotry, corruption, wars, and even murder; all being evil things because they harm everyone of us and even the souls of those that have economical dominance. So that's why we have the terms race for ethnicity and racism for the expression for discriminatory efforts of continued economical domination of an ethnic group.

I am English, and by far the worst racism and undeserved HATRED I have ever been subjected to was in WALES. First the stereotypical 'walk into a shop to find 2 welsh people speaking english, then they start speaking welsh and behaving very rudely', despite me smiling, saying please, thank you and generally being polite (whilst also thinking 'if you came to my town people would be friendly and helpful to you!'). The worst part was when my kids tried to make friends with some other kids in the garden of a welsh pub, and the welsh kids wouldn't play with them COS THEY WERE ENGLISH. That was when I really lost it. Surely it can never be ok to fill young innocent minds with such hatred. UNFORGIVEABLE

I remember an incident where I and my friend, both white encountered a black guy on a narrow sidewalk in an underpass walled on both sides. He blocked the whole sidewalk and said he wouldn't move for a couple of "crackers". After asking politely more than once to please excuse us we forced our way past him and he took a swing at me and a brief scuffle resulted. Someone called the police and he tried to claim that we attacked him out of racism.

The answer is all around you. But now they call it acceptance and a bunch of other non specific adjectives or political correctiveness. Just take a look at all the advertising , if your not white homosexual male or spanish women asian women etc... try getting a loan to college and your white parents make a whopping 30,000+

Being turned down for a job when I had 15 years of award winning experience and an MBA because UPS needed minorities. They hired a hispanic woman with a GED and no experience. But they filled two quotas!

Does that count?

I date a white girl. She is always complaining about racism (I live in a Black hood) I find it a little amusing at how nobody will sell her weed because she is white, or if they do sell it to her they charge her more. But she doesn't experience anything serious. Her nieghbor called the police on me once when I went to her house while she was out of town that is what I call prejudice.

By definition, white people can not experience since true racism is the oppression by a majority race of the minority race. since whites are the majority theyt can not experience racism yet. what you people are descrining is prejudice.

Yeah, I grew up in Atlanta. When I was there, you couldn't go downtown if you were white, and this was like the business district.

Lots of black on white racism down there.

Me and all my white co workers were moved to a location alot farther from our homes so our Brazilian Manager could have an all Brazilian store.

in 8th grade I stopped a black kid who was beating up a kid in a wheel chair.The next day he came up to me and said hes going to tell everyone I called him a ***#er and the whole black student body came after me during lunch and after school.

Numerous jobs I could not get because of affirmative action.

I use to work in a black neighborhood and was told by a black minister of all people to stay in my own neighborhood.

I have been called white boy and cracker numerous times.
