I am reminded almost daily that we are to treat all people equal. And I do. But I am tired of being treated as the enemy by black people (not all) just cause my skin is white. Im not blind to the past events of America (and other countries) but I did not make the past or live in it. I don't feel anger twards the Japanese or England etc. because of past events. Im not out to keep black people down because they are black so why am I downed by blacks for being white? Why is it ok to be treated as second class by other Americans who were born and raised in a free country the same as I. Im an so tired of this Anti-White attitude. People died for equal rights, so why ant it equal. If blacks can put down white just cause they are white, should whites have the seme right. Or maybe like us whites, it should be wrong for them to discriminate also. Whats the deal here?

Because, in the black culture, it is taught that the responsibility for all blame lies on the white man. Those who tried to better themselves are ridiculed as trying to be like 'whitey.' They is a definitely reverse discrimination going on. The white man is made to feel responsible for all the past wrongs; those that are not his fault nor the current individual's gain. It shouldn't be, anyway. It all boils down to not taking responsibility, plain and simple.

Get over yourself. You are a white male, you have the chance to do anything and everything you want. When you turn on the television you see your people in every frame. You have more women to choose from, more jobs, no one looks down on you.

I'm am so tired of white people whining about how they are treated. You guys are at the top of the race pole so stop whining. When is the last time you saw a black president? Do you get pulled over by cops all of the time just for driving in your car? Do you always wonder if someone thinks you are lesser because you aren't white? Blacks will never be good enough.

Did you ever wonder what it is like to be a minority? Have you ever dated a woman of another race? How about a black woman? Black women are the least desired of all the races. It ain't fun my friend and you have done your part to make minorities become minorities. Admit to your elevated position in society and stop trying to pretend that you care when someone calls you a stupid racist name like honkey. I don't even know what honkey means. Anyway, why don't you talk to some real minorities or better yet, date one and maybe you'll understand the struggle of trying to suceed.

I can relate I've always taking up for blacks against some of the worst of racist now the blacks are racist against me.
One hell of a world we live in.
But I leave them laying on the ground the same as I did the white ignorant ones.
I love everyone except an ignorant person because all they do is make an already hard life harder for others.

mekidsdad I know it's not all just the younger ones. 35 and under. Older blacks are some of the nicest people I've known. It's weird that the ones that actually went through it aren't racist but the ones that never knew how it was are racist, what kind of crap is that.

i agree with you exactly, but for some reason, its almost like its wrong for whites to say anything about race. If we're not supposed to be judged by the color of our skin, why is it still happening, why do blacks get special points when trying to get into college, why do you see mainstream comedians who are black say the most racist things toward whites, and yet even white people in the audience laugh, even though they are the ones being insulted. if a white comedian were to say that, he'd never work again in this country, enough of the double standard. I"m sick of it i'm in my twenties and i've been told my whole life and growing up how bad blacks have it. well, i think its more of a personal responsibility thing than a color thing. you reap what you sow, and in the year 2006, its because of what you do of where you get in life, not what color you are.

In all actuality there shouldn't be discrimination period. I'm not making an excuse for black people but I think alot of black people have been mistreated throughout there lifetime by so many white people that they begin to see white people as the "enemy". It begins to wear on your psyche after a while of being pushed around and being talked down to. There is ALOT of resentment in the black community towards white people... I'm not saying it's right but I'm just stating the facts. Do I think black people have the right to treat white people as the enemy? no, but I can definitely understand and relate to why they feel like some white people are the enemy.
When I meet any person (regardless of race) my guards are up regardless but when I meet white people particularly my guards are higher and they stay up longer. It not based solely on the fact of slavery or history of ancestors... The feeling is based on my experiences throughout my lifetime. I'm not saying it's right... I'm just being honest. It takes me a little longer to warm up to a white person because of past misfortunates with numerous white people. After a while you begin to lose trust in the entire race... and I know that's wrong but it just happens subconsciously (it's not intentional at all).
It's really strange though. I feel more comfortable with white people when they're genuine and not tip toeing around me and being mindful of everything that comes out of their mouth. When I see a white person responding to me that way it just brings up red flags that this person feels uncomfortable around me because I'm black.

Until all racism is wiped out the anti-white, anti-black,- anti-anyrace will always be there.
It can start by you and I and all people teaching their kids to differentiate between not liking someone for what they have done or their attitude but not by their skin color.
If we do this each generation will have less and less racism.
This will happen in an ideal world only,

I don't know anyone of another race who resents me for being white. People who do that are racist, plain and simple, regardless of their skin color. Keep treating people equally, that is the right thing to do. Do not stoop to the racists' level just because some people are racist agains whites.

Sometimes in every color a person needs someone else to blame for all their problems. Whether its black, white, fat, skinny, with tattoos, pink hair or whatever. Just don't make it your problem, ignore it and treat people well so they don't have an excuse to blame you.
