it seems to me i am hearing a lot of racial comments from the african american community. recently coming from radio stations where they enjoy making fun of 'white ghostly skin; white trash,etc.But if a white person comes out with similiar comments related to blacks they loose jobs or branded a kkk. anybody else can relate to this.

It won't last too long. Another 2 generations I give it until racism is looked at equally all ways.

What you're saying is true sometimes, but not always. I've seen a lot of white comedians make fun of black people on TV and there are black people are in the audience laughing. It depends on how far you go with it, but sometimes it's hard to tell how far is too far--like Michael RIchards got in trouble for saying the N word. I heard George Carlin use it in one of his comedy bits and he got away with it. Maybe Mr. Carlin is considered a lot better stand up comedian than Michael Richards so he can do want he wants? I don't know. Lenny Bruce was a white Jewish comedian who used the N word sometimes, but that was a long time ago, he died in the 1960s.

Yep, yep you are right. Political correctness is a crock, but it's our crock here in the USA.
The lower they sink into the septic tank of American culture, the more they expect respect and praise for being low class. It's lip service, and we've got to live with it. The politicians want the votes

Your question should read: "Racism by whom?"
and no, I can't relate.
I have never listened to the stations that you are referring to.
Believe me, there is no such thing as the "african american community", one man's actions does not represent every african american.

well my man...that is the eternal question,
people of other ethnicities feel that they have the right...cause they are in the minority to make fun of the majority...but that is not rascism 'according to my fiancee who is a psychology major' the true definition of rasicm is when the majority makes fun of a minority...trust me i find her answer to be the biggest piece of BS out there..."we have agreeed to disagree on that one or else we would break up over it cause we both feel strongly about it " but hers is the clinical one...i feel that any one harboring hate for anyone of any other race is a rasict...and as far as african americans are concerned well, if an african american walks through my utterly white area, he wouldnt even get a second glance, but as a whitemale...if i walked through an area mostly populated by blacks, i doubt i would walk out unscathed...so to further answer your question yes, racism clearly exists, as white we try to make up for it with all sorts of programs, college benefits, hiring procedures, and welfare...when it comes to the others, well they just keep putting their hate it out there...
but as this world goes to hell in a hand basket i have a feeling that one day we are all gonna fight it out...

YES YES you are right. I am tired of these whining people saying all their problems are caused by others and to top it off they cry about being forced to come here to america. if it wasnt for the slave trade back in the 1800's YOU STILL BE LIVING IN CRAP.
