Yes white people are always going to be pointed as racists when the say racist stuff because of their history. Us latin people and arfican people could say racist stuff and get away with it because two reasons.
1. Latin and african people are majorly in poverty so we share the same struggle
2. Because Latin and African people don't have history of being racists.
I guess that cultural assumption (stereotype) plays a big role in this.

I'm not racist, but I say the word '*****' a lot, and mean no harm by it. There really aren't any colored people where in my small town. I mean no offense to what I say, however, if a colored person was to hear me use the word '*****', I would probably be shot. But, it's completly okay for them to call each other that. I agree with you on what your saying. I think some colored people are still caught up in the old days and can't accept that racism isn't that much of a problem anymore. I mean, of course there will always be people who are racist, but it's not only directed towards blacks, and theres black people that hate whites as well.

I think white people should be conscious of what they say. when a black person says something racist against a white person does the white person really get upset? why should he. The white race is supposedly the supierior race. If that is the case someone imferior should not easily offend someone superior. Man is superior to a dog if a dog was able to say you stupid human would the human be offened? NO!!

Every person on the face of this earth has some sort of racist feelings for some group of people. It would be nice if we could all curb our feelings and be nice to each other, however, when ugly things happen, these feelings come out. I'll give you an example.
A friend of mine was in the army. He was stationed in Baghdad. He and his troop stopped to hand out candy bars to a group of children. Terrorists threw two grenades into the group of children killing 18 of the 20, blowing little kids to shreds and horribly wounding the other two left. My friend lost both his legs and one eye.
Would you think the terrorists were wonderful people?

actually i have noticed, and this is mostly thru comediennes but it seems to be more socially acceptable for blacks to make fun of white people than vice versa and living in the diverse community i do i hear alot of things where others might think its racist and no one really pays any attention to it as racist comments. i happened to be in an all blk class and got to be privy to alot of thoughts they have about white people and it was hilarious, heard ' not trying to offend you' lots but it was interesting to hear alot of the sterotypes about white people out there. So mayb what ur hearing sounds racist to you b/c ur looking for it, like in my statement above about 'thoughts they have' i bet if you wanted too you could misconstrue that to be something racist. I think alot of people try to come off sounding too non racist and end up giving the opposite impression.
Am not denying that there aren't a bunch of jackasses out there tho

in some countries,australia, america, united kindom or even in california theres the so called racial discrimination. we cant avoid that. some white people dont like aseans, chinese or any ethnic nationality. But there were more white people likes and loves colored or any nationality.. white people who until now have this kind of attitude, racial discrimination, i may say ,"let them or let it be that way". always think that we can do better and can be a better person without them. didnt you notice singers like aretha franklin, stevie wonder to name a few are colored skin people, but they're successfull in their own field of works. remember in the eye of our Lord we are all the same, colored or white., and theres no exception to the rule of God.

Good question. I think a lot of racism is taught by parents. I find nothing wrong with people who are not the same color as I am, and I'm teaching my kids to be color blind also.
Ask the NAACP, they seem to like bringing stuff like this up.

Doesn't matter if you're green, why would you agree with it?!? Racism is wrong no matter who it comes from. We should write in Mencia for president, born here or not (and I really don't know if he was) at least he gets the whole freedom of speech thing and can see that we're all good, bad, crazy, whatever, just like everybody else when you get down to it. Racism is stupid and pointless.

What is your question? Are you saying that even if it sounds unfair, you agree that white people should not utter anything remotely sounding racist but at the same time blacks can utter racist slurs against whites any time they feel like it? How do you think we should feel?
Pissed off that's how.
