...that the roles are reversed...how does it feel? just be glad they aren't hunting you down and lynching you....don't you hate it now. (most)White people have been racist from the beginning...why is it now...you want to say your not...only because black and minority have a right ot say it? and they wont get beaten...it's not only minority that steal cars and shot at people...the most dangerous men(serial killers) are white....why do you have so much hatred...your ancestors started this...you should be more pissed at them...today after many hundreds of years that blk/Asian/Mex/Chinese/ all minority have been suppressed, you think they are just suppose to forgive and forget...you say they have blk history month....9 months of school...and they get one month...you say Martin LKing...how many holidays do white people get....beating up a blk person by a white cop....sometimes they are picked out ...and the causes are given after the fact...i am not defending any gangster or drug dealer...by all means take them off the street....but you got to admit...most are stereotyped...so what if they have a NAACP...they need protection still...someone to make sure they get whats right....so what if they get scholarships from black places....it just a place to get one...black colleges,,,you have Yale, Duke ,Harvard just to name a few...maybe you had a bad day....or something....and you do have a WET it's call Country Music Awards...when you are announcing your white pride....why do you still use Nazi/KKK/white power items that were used back in the day...when all the slave killings and Hitler stuff were going on...you can have white pride and not need to use shouts about the past....I am from Louisiana...and it's still happening there...so if you wanna say there is no racist blood in your white man body....you LIE...i have my own business...i own my own home...and make well into the six ditgits a year...but being 1/2 Black....i still get slurs thrown at me....so before you guys start crying foul play...maybe you need to talk to some of your people and make them change...i'm trying to talk to mine....

I'm not racist against whites or any other race, and not all African American people do immoral things (as you say, rob, carjack, and shoot). It may seem that a lot of black people commit crimes, but whites and other cultures do the same thing. There's good and bad in every culture, which is why it's impossible to assume that one race is bad and another pure. As for the African American holidays, BET, and other minority celebrations- it's just a recongition of all the hard work that we have gone through. White people have always been considered dominant, back when there was slavary, and even now. Since when has there been a non-white president? Since we are considered minorities, we should have the right to celebrate our cultures and heritage. I don't agree w/ the name-calling, and I personally don't proclaim any racist remarks against anyone, but as for the NAACP and others, those organizations help minorities get ahead in life and help disprove the negative stereotypes that we have for so long endured.

First of all, its not okay for anyoneof any race to call anyone out of their name. The whole violence thing comes from blacks in poor communities. They are stuck there with no way out because blacks do not get the same opportunities as whites and they are frustrated. If you poor with no way out and no help the only people you can take your frustrations out on is each other. I know people think they not trying to get out or help themselves. But, if you grow up learning that you ain't going no where, you ain't going to be nothing, you not educated enough its hard for a lot to overlook that when thats all they hear everywhere. Even from their own people sometime.
Okay, so we have Martin L. King Day and Black History Month. That's only what, 29/365 days in a year. This is a white man's world so the other 336 days are yours. Wow, let me jump for joy.
Okay, we got BET. That's one out of numerous channels, Amazing we really taking over huh. You don't need WET TV. You have plenty of channels to chose from where you will see white faces all day.
We have Historically Blacks Colleges. But, all those colleges accept whites. A lot of campuses that are not Historically Black make their standards so high that a lot of blacks can't get in because the schools in the black community are failing the student and are not funded properly. So, a lot of Colleges basically are white universities.
Yeah, we had the Million Man March. And, yeah if you marched for your rights you might be looked at as racist because you're the majority, what rights have been taken from you. Minorities can't take away your rights cuz we don't have that power.
We are held back, looked down upon, mocked. So, yeah we have to proclaim that we are proud of our race and try to form a united front just so we can keep our head above water. We need that to believe in ourselves. We are in a fight to get ahead. Why do whites need to proclaim their pride for? What do you need to fight for. We know its an advantage been white. We know all the opportunities you have in life. Its not good to exclaim your superiority over people.
Blacks do not target whites for crimes. Blacks will rob, carjack, and anyone. However, there are police officers that target the black community and crimes that are predominantly known as crimes black people commit and racial profile. That's a fact, I have a BS in Criminology and I studied this. Black people always fit the description of something and are targeted even if they didn't do anything.
Many believe that only whites can be racist because they are the only people with power. Because if you look at the definition of racist it says its a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. No one else is superior.

Good answer. We have a similar problem in the UK, if a white person is unsuccessful at a job interview, it's just "hard luck", but if a coloured person (I don't like the term "black") is turned down because they are under-qualified or unsuitable in some other way (apart from colour, race or religion) then there is a strong possibility that they will accuse the interviewer/employer of racism. I think there is a strong sense of over-sensitivity here.

not only whites can be racists; however, whites have been an oppressing majority for years, and they should fess up to it and deal with the consequences of their actions. i'm sorry, but it's the truth. white people enslaved africans, colonized america, india, africa etc., killed jews, killed muslims, stole other countries' natural resources, etc. and we can't really ignore that, can we? every race has done bad things, i am sure, but this is quite a track record white people have, and they've still got a long way to go.
so don't be so proud - it's not p.c. right now. so what? be proud of who you are rather than your race. that's what really counts. be proud of being a good person. of being clever, beautiful, athletic - just leave your damn race out of it.

First of all, you're right...we do have a lot of holidays celebrating "culture" in this nation. Don't forget that the rest of the year IS celebrating whites...hah!!! Second of all, as much as I like black people and every other race, I must say that we don't owe them sh*t. Here's why: Primarily, black people should thank us every day because if it weren't for slavery, they would most likely be chasing their lunch with a spear while dying of AIDS. Second of all, the black slaves weren't treated as bad as we have been miseducated to believe. Not every slave was beaten. In fact, most were treated as part of the family. It's only the as*hole slave owners who mistreated their slaves that have gone down in history. Third of all, it is not like blacks were the only slaves in the history of man. My ancestors were slaves. Europeans were enslaved by North Africans and referred to as "White Gold". (Bet you'll never hear about that one in our liberal education system) My friend's ancestors dragged ships across deserts AND were beaten. Even more, the blacks who descended from these lucky slaves b*tch at me like I owe them something. They feel they're entitled to so much because their ancestors were so unfortunate. It's not like they're the only ones who experience prejudice. Hell, I've NEVER heard a Jew b*tch and they have it a lot worse than blacks ever have or will. Finally, and this is nothing more than a side comment, the term 'racist' means that you feel your race is superior to all the rest. Let's race around the world real quick and take a closer look. Central and South America are in the dumps, Africa is starving and dying of disease, and Asia is pathetically poor, with few exceptions. It seems to me that the only continents that are on top of things are the USA, Australia, and Europe, which just HAPPEN to be predominantly Caucasian. To say that the Caucasian race is superior really doesn't sound too far off to me.

omg someone finally said it! how true it is! all white are victims of racism. i personally am not racist towards other races but you cant help but wonder why it is that the other races have all these holidays, schools etc. but you're right. if we had a college that was all white, the whole country would be up in arms. that entire statement is FULL of truth (unfortunately).

I agree. So I guess that makes me a racist. I'm tired of being called "white" as well. I'm not white I'm more of a beige with pink undertones. I would love to be called a European-American. That would be classic.

Yes, but whites are supposed to be above all that. Sometimes people need someone to blame. It's easier than looking within yourself and changing whats not right.

holy s.h.i.t. calm down 'boy'.
there's no more white folks.. my skin is light but i'm mixed... like the most of us are.
and most of us are decendents from slaves ok... and slave is a white word... (ugoslavia) and there's more white slaves than anything else.. "caucasian"
i don't know why really we are allowing the blacks (not all of them are like that either.. ) to keep this going as long as it has.
slave is not their word...
the N word is not theirs either.
nor is it their right to hammer the rest of us about this.
racism comes in all colors.. there are BLACK racists and most who go on about this and point the finger... well guess what?
i'm sick of it.
i'm not a racist but i'm also not going to stand there and take it.
i came from slaves.. both white and black in my family... never have i owned one myself.. nor have i come across someone who was a slave.
(not in the terminology sense)
but aren't we all slaves really?
the chains of hate rage on.
AS usual...
SHEESH.
