I think there is a difference between ignorance and being indifferent. And a difference in prejudice and intolerance. I am indifferent of those that blame everyone else for their problems. And I can't tolerate those that WON"T help themselves.

I have never seen a white person being racist towards a black person who has a job and lives a normal life. On the contrary. If we see someone really trying hard to better themselve, we will help without being asked. Because white people help those who help themselve. But you have to show us first.
My experience is that what everyone is calling "racism" is no racism at all. We will threat a white person in the same manner as a black person if that person is making a nuisance of itself.
Stop asking us to feel sorry for you. Do something for yourself. Get off the street, study and get the best job you possibly can. You won't become a millionnaire, but 70 per cent of white people are not millionnaire either.
If you think that it is easy just because we are white, you are very wrong. Where do you think all the money comes from to run the world economy and keep everyone alive? It is from white people paying taxes from the day they are born until the day they die. And they get very little in exchange. Because all that taxe money is used to support those who don't pay taxes.

I think honestly it depends what part of the countries you are in.lets say you were in arkensas whites are going to probably be MORE rasist than the people in california. besause when there was the big race controversy back in the day that state was All for it -in the south...
lets say we were in mississippi or louisiana the black are gonig to prolly be MORE rasist down there. b/c thats were blacks mostly lived without all the all the controversy i mean there was but not as mcuh in the south right???? black lower east whites were in south it still is that way exept not about the whole race thing . i mean it is but not as bad .. iits not that racism is playing a role in keeping white plle ignorant towrd black plle but i think it goes both ways..

that's a over-generalization. You incredibly plenty replied your individual question. For the white people who act ignorant in the direction of blacks, racism in all threat has the main suitable place. or possibly racism is secondary to a pair character flaw. the two way, racism performs a huge section in that variety of problem. And oppression and exploitation are consequences of racism. yet, this is going during races, as all of us comprehend.

The fact is we are not these bodies. We are not our race, color, nationality, religion,mind,etc. This is all the bodily concept of life. We are spirit soul part and parcel of the Supreme Soul. If one wants to be happy then they have to realize who we actually are. It is only illusion or Maya to think we are these bodies. IF one wants to be free from this illusion and misery the quickest and easiest way is to chant the Maha Mantra (The Great Mantra for deliverance) Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare for all details go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com/chanting_hare_krishna.htm

It doesn't. Only a very small minority of white people are racist against black people.
