Here are my views on this:
Some black people make racism worse by constantly talking about it.
Some black people erroneously blame racism for their place in society or the economic scale
Some blacks are ignoring the black on black hatred affecting our inner cities because they're too concerned with white racism
I've been accepted more in white areas than black areas with my family (vietnamese/white husband and 7 month old baby)
Does this mean I hate my race?
Honesty appreciated.

I've been called pretty much a racist against blacks and I find that disturbing and an unfair assumption.

Not necessarily. Being a minority myself, I have seen a lot of people pull the race card way too much. It's not limited to Blacks but a lot of minorities. It's sad that some people would like to use discrimination as a convenient excuse when it may not necessarily be the case.

Yes, you are, because you think ALL black people are hung up on it. That, to me is racism. I am not hung up on racism just because I ask question about what I see everyday in my life. You, being the racist you are attacked me for just asking.You are a racist because of that e-mail you sent me.
Subject: If you have a problem with me...
Message: Discuss it with ME. It's such a punkish thing to do to put someone on blast. Didn't the hood teach you anything? Dayum!
So just because I'm black I'm from the "hood"?! What right do you have to assume that I am from the hood? Would you say that to someone who was not black? Again, a racisit statement! So yes, it is fair that one would come to that conclusion! I never play the "race card" I never said that white people owed me anything. I am asking cultural question which I have worded to get true opinons. Got a problem with it? Don't answer.
By the way, I didn't grow up and I didn't ever live in the hood. Thank you.

I agree...i think that if blacks would relax and quit the whole racial issues...we could all get along...i hate the way white people act too sometimes but i dont consider myself racist against whites
If they would realize that we had nothing to do with the past like slavery maybe whites wouldnt be as likely to be biggots

Should be realized that all races are guilty of racism at one time or another.....some have even learned how to work it into every issue.
But the only colors God sees are Red - covered in the blood of Jesus and Black - sin(rejection of Jesus).
Jealousy was the beginning of racial issues and has covered all generations since the beginning of mankind.

Absolutely not- I feel the same way. Racism exists in people of all colors, but I've found that racism is far too often accepted, and sometimes even condoned, in those in the minority.

No, I don't think you are racist or you hate your own race. You have brought some interesting points that the black community should think of as a whole.

As I tell my white friends and family, fix yourself before you go complaining about other people. I think it is refreshing that you want your race to shape up. If there were more people like us, the world would be a better place.

I do agree somewhat.
Sadly,the US Supreme Court has CONSTANTLY refused to hear cases of reverse discrimination not only in the work place,but in the private sector as well.
Yes,there is a correlation
The "race card" is old and lame

No, I don't think that you are racist for believing this, but some people's intentions are not pure.
Some people use this as a pawn for thier own racism.

No, I've read your questions and I don't think you hate your race. I think you hate racism. Anyone of any shade or color can be racist. It's not only whites or blacks, it can be anyone. You hang in there with your color blind self!
