Isn't this racist?
A question of a white boy wanting accepance from his fellow black students has been removed (coz white people are devils and racism never happens from blacks towards whites)
whereas a question from a black boy wanting acceptance from his fellow white students has not been removed 'oooohh.....poor black kid, the disgusting horn headed honkeys should be hanged, let this queston be seen by everyone so everyone knows racism still happens towards black people, how evil the white devil is'

I feel like killing myself when things like this happen, I can't describe my disbelief.

Racism can be directed toward any culture or race of people.
But please, don't kill yourself over it. That is extreme, that sentence bothered me more than the scenario, I really hope it was a figure of speech used to describe your disgust.
I think more and more people are remembering that racism is a multi lane highway, not a one way street. But Y!A is still just made up of people, HUMANS in all their ignorant glory... I'd suggest contacting them... but have you ever tried THAT! good luck.

The system is only WHAT YOU MAKE IT. If more people would stand up for what they believe in then this sort of thing would have been squashed a long time ago.

But that's just it, NO ONE stands up and voices their opinion anymore. "But I see it all the time!" No. You see the (less than) 1% of America blogging, emailing, writing and speaking their mind. I ask: What of the 99% that sit on their hands and just complain to the winds? Why are they so passive?! Why must they continue to act like sheep? Because they are lazy and are too tired to care. And they're afraid.

Think about it: The 40-50 hour work week (no siesta or long break, as many other countries have. Plus, the sebatical is a rarely practiced thing these days.) After 40+ hours of work you have all those TV programs that must be watched. And the movies. And the kids need some (5 minutes) attention. And on and on. By the end of the week you are too tired to care about racism.

Remember this fact: children DO NOT see color. Their parents and the environment around them TEACHES them to recognize color.

I have a real problem I am white, Church of Scotland lapsed, have a boyfriend, no criminal record yet, kind to animals, etc., so I feel in the minority now, whereasif I was a one-legged, single parent black, lesbian, I could claim for all sorts of racist abuse - the world has gone made so don't worry about it - we all know what is going on - keeps all those lying politicians in wealth!!

Black people are more racist than whites these days, I'm not racist myself, buts its unfair that people of ethnic backgrounds have the right to say what they want about white people, yet when I white person tries to defend him/herself from these remarks, that person is branded a racist! the system is unjust, for years the system swung in favour of the one who was in the right, these days, the system swings always in the favour of the ones who are racist and anybody who cmits crime, instead of the non-racist and the victims of crime.

Please don't kill yourself.

Sadly racisim still exists and will continue to do so.

And YES, racisim goes both ways, I am white and have had many experiences in my long life where I was the target of scorn and/or disdain simply for being white.

I did use spell check, they say it should be racism, now neither appear right to me.

Yes. It's racist.
Most people don't know this...but if you search, I'm sure you'll find it...

You know how there's a "B.E.T" channel?
Well, sometime in 2000 or 2001, a company was going to make a W.E.T channel, and they weren't allowed.
They got charged with fraud or something like that, and got in trouble for "Racism"

heh.

Figures.

I know just what you mean mate ; all that nonsense about "positive" discrimination gets my goat as well...it's an oxymoron. All discrimination (on grounds of gender, race, creed etc.)is negative. Wonder how long they'll leave your question on here?

Absolutely. It's the political correctness police doing the liberal thing again. We are all human for goodness sake. (With the exception of the Political Correctness Police that is)

Yes it's Racist.

The looney liberals have yet to learn that racism is endemic in all cultures. It's in the genes.

We are told to be kind to everyone -- except the Brits!
