I have noticed in this day and age there are many more derrogatory remarks made of whites than by them. I am not prejudice at all, however lets make is a little more equal...the black community here (many are my friends) constantly talk about "the man" and how we supressed them, etc... simply not all together true, seeing as it was the black man that sold slaves to the white man to start lol. However, i seriously doubt any white person would be able to get away with a racial slur on the radio, due to the lawsuits and the naacp. The white people do not have a legal all white organization they can gripe to when they have been demoralized or degraded by black or mexican or chinese or indian, etc... people. The only thing some morons have is the white power groups, which, naturally are no longer around (or not around as much - and certainly not advertised as some quasi-all white union) because they are just wrong, as are any "all black" "all mexican" "all indian" groups, or all white tv or all black tv, etc.... People need to learn to love one another as human.. not as color. It is silly.
And as for the last line in your statement for most of us hate you as much as you hate us... that doesn't help any type of prejudice.. it only inflames the mean side of idiots lol You, along with everyone else should not just hate people because of their skin, hair, gender, sexual preference, fashion, car, etc..
A lot of it simply is not fair to a lot of other cultures, because, yes, the african american people have anything and everything they could ever want because of how they are treated, and around here at least, they still want more. Even though the indian population was treated much more harsh, according to historical records and data. There are exactly 1,146 black people in this community - 346 chinese and 2345 mexican people (we are a small town). Out of this number, 956 black people are out of work. No chinese people are out of work, and 81 mexicans are out of work. These are real statistics from the local division of family services as of january 2006. And the ones that are out of work claim disability.. i know of one case in particular - he is 21, on disability, wears designer clothes, lives with his mother, her husband, 8 brothers and sisters (all over the age of 18, except 2), 3 cousins, and many babies/small children in a home paid for by HUD. Three of them drive a luxury car... and only one has a job at a local grocery store. The others have the state check, and then gripe about the man. I kid you not.
Could you imagine and all white tv channel? an all white miss america? an all white organization that beckons to every white person calling discrimination? and all white lawyer firm (and they advertise it as such), and all white restaurant (and they advertise it as much)? All white schools? Not anymore.... why?? because that is ruled as discrimination. and to me, any organization, including "all women" or "all mens" should as well.
A very good way to help stop racism is not to teach any children you may have that all white people hate black people.

Most whites are not racists but the idiots calling on talk shows are. Remember these shows are out to capture your dime. They do not represent the truth.
I find many Asians are racist against each other and against other races. I also find that Mexicans are often more racist against blacks than whites are. Most whites don't think about racism much because it does not effect their lives. Most Blacks think about it all the time. So their perception is Scued by this. I see black women act totally rude to a person who is white not knowing this person at all. Had they known this person they would have seen that the person was not racist and might even be very liberal and anti racist. But they never give the person a chance. I am dark Skinned Puerto Rican but I am Caucasian. I was called the N word all the time when I grew up and it took a long time to get over that. I found that the darkest Mexicans were the ones who called me a ni@#&*#r. The white people rarely were that way and the ones that were were sickos. So it might be time to do a little paradigm shift and see what is really up. Sometimes the prejudice is subtle by whites. Like not being helped in a shoe store. But remember it cuts both ways.

Im white and Im not racist one bit. I think that people who are, especially in this day and age are purely ignorant. Honestly I only date spanish or black men. White guys are so ugly, have crappy attitudes, and for the most part are pretty lame. Some people who are racist just carry it on from what they were taught as a child and continue to teach their children. Its a messed up cycle. It is pure ignorance. When I see those white supremicist on the news it gives me chills to think how stupid people can really be. Plus by you saying we always do these things, well, it must be who you are surrounded by, we are not all like that.

Yeah..perpetuate the hate...now there is the perfect answer.
One of these days hopefully our country will stop labeling people by race. We should all just be people, partly because of all of the inter-racial marriage going on and partly because its just the right thing to do. There is nothing to be gained by maintaining racial distinctions anymore.
Blacks are seen in a negative manner because of the way that they are portrayed in the media...and the way that they dress and partly due to the fact that some of them actually aspire to be a "thug."
Whites are seen in a negative manner because of the intense racism they displayed in the past, and due to the fact that caucasian males seem to do the majority of sex crimes these days. Check out the national sex offender registry at http://www.familywatchdog.us if you doubt me. You don't have to enter your address to see the pedophiles living around you. You can enter your work address or the address of some public place in town if you want. That site showed 6 pedo's living around me.. :-/
Anyways, in spite of everything I doubt that most whites and most blacks truly hate each other.
As far as the radio stations go, all you can do is stop listening to the stations that offend you. Good luck to you.

Everyone is racist in that we all recognize obvious physical differences. Most of us are not racist in the sense that you suggest. Most of us are just like you; trying to get along the best we can. I can't be your friend if you bring a "black" attitude along for the ride, but I can be your friend if you want to just be one of the guys. I won't bring a "white" attitude along (I don't even know what a white attitude is). Seriously, you're listening to the wrong people and you're making potential white friends uncomfortable when you project a a militant whitey sucks, whitey keeps me down image. I, speaking for decent white folk, would rather be your friend than your enemy. Surround yourself with good people and life will look better to you.

Not all whites are racist. It's just a stereotype that has been passed along for several generations. Anyways there's a bit of racism in everybody. Hate is a strong word, and I would like it if no race makes fun of the other race.

I think that is a pretty racist comment in itself. You are putting all whites in a category by themselves and making a negative statement.
I am not racist at all and I am white. I think everyone is the same regardless of what they look like. I'm sure there are a lot of negative things to be said about a lot of black people as well as a lot of white people, but to put them all together is ridiculus!

You're listening to the wrong station. I hate stations like that, they give whites a bad name.
Also, I would like to say... one of the best friends I've ever made has almost pitch black skin. I have no problems with him, he has none with me. We get along better than anyone I've EVER been friends with.

Why are PEOPLE such racists? Your question IS racist! There are IDIOTS of every color on this planet - why do you want to be like the white ones? I have black friends - no they aren't my BEST friends - but they ARE my friends, so your question is BOGUS.
