For example, we all know OJ is guilty as h-ell! and yet the court didn't convict him cuz there were race cards involved so no one wanted to get involved with it. Then you have Rush Limbaugh who made , I think, a normal comment about how Donovan McNabb is overrated and that he was getting attention cuz he was black. Which I don't it's a racist remark but a statement or a belief. And then there's Kobe thing with a rape case against a White girl and they threw that one away as well. Then you havethe fear of profiling at the airport?

Certainly..in our present society many are simply afraid to say anything that might be vaguely construed as racist...now that applies 90 % to white people (who allowed this to happen....by a totally unwarranted guilt trip). Now truth & facts have no bearing in this matter.....it is a social disease, so to speak, and who knows when these people will shrug this liability off and return to fact and logic in both speech and act, and business of life be conducted per the reality of the moment.

You have a good point. I remember when Bill Cosby gave his speech about how some black people do not try hard enough when it comes to education and how there is a lack of good parenting in the black community. Some people were mad but I know for a fact if it was a white person that said the same thing it would be racist and they would probably have to resign or something. I personally think it is just the history of this country especially with slavery, jim crow, segration, etc but that is the past. Some whites oppressed a lot of black people in the past so when someone especially if they are white says something negative about another race especially if its black people it is seem as racist even if its true and you can prove it. I know its unfair but hey what can you do. Just one of the many double standards in society.

The problem is that there is not an even playing field. Jesse Jackass called Jews, "hymies" and nothing. A little quip of an apology. Michael Jackson also got caught. Nothing. Blacks routinely make racist remarks, in the media (see: chocolate city) to entertainment. It is completely OK to have racism against whites and Asians.
Until everyone is on the same field, we can expect racist remarks ESP since whites are guilty until proven innocent. I could care less if someone calls me a racist. I bend over for no one. As far as OJ is concerned; that trial was made into a Mark Furman trial. The last time I check the Constitution, we were allowed to say '******' -like it or not.

You cant honestly believe this. Check out prison race statistics. Check out death row race statistics. The people that you are referring to are FAMOUS. As Chris Rock says, if O.J. Simpson were a bus driver he would be Orenthal the bus driving murderer.

I'm no more fearful of being called a racist than I am about being accused of something I didn't do. I pitty anyone who blames an entire race for something that John Boy, and Fred did.

Why do you think having white pride entitles you to insult other races? You obviously don't know what your talking about.
