Why is it that when a white person is racist towards a black person they rare up but when a black person does it to a white person they think it's ok?

Black, white, brown, yellow, red.

Some people have a shorter fuse than others.In some countries this is more noticeable,but often the quicker someone riles the sooner they come back down and sooner forgotten.The slower to rile the longer the anger and longer until forgotten.Not 100% percent true very much an over generalisation.

we now live in a society of political correctness where it is perceived that white people should be apologetic for ignorance showed by our forefathers, it doesn't matter that you maybe a fair minded,law abiding citizen,white people are expected to over compensate which can create hostility that may not have existed. judge people by their actions and hope the courtesy is returned. This will obviously be exploited by people, regardless of colour or creed, to further their own ends

Because people are a lot more sensitive after decades of inherent racism. And seeing that caucasians have been the percevied as the source of that racism, there is little sympathy if they receive a bit.

I think it has something to do with people thinking they should have revenge for what we, whites, have done to them. Making them slaves and everything. But it still pisses me off racism from both the black and the whites side.

i got stabbed by some either Pakistanis or Iraqi males and the police did nothing, think they were immigrants, but if it was a white person who did it maybe justice would have been served

Is there any start to a sentence that makes your heart sink more than "I'm not a racist, but ...."?
Why don't you carry a flashing red sign saying "Racist Bollocks". It would be a little less obvious.

how many gross generalisations begin with the same five words as your question?
racism includes an element of power and in white societies its clear where privilege lies.
