I would like to know and not to affend anyone me being white, why hasn't anyone ever brought up the issue on how whites are discrimminated against as well as the blacks and other race, how many white people get discriminated against? Have you ever had a black person tell you that "this is a black thing" hello, what is wrong with this picture and why are we letting the blacks get away with racist remarks when they do it to us? Why hasn't anyone (being white) bring these issues up? I am sick of being discriminated against by the blacks and the indians. Just one note, I don't see peoples colors nor do I see fat nor skinny, what is wrong with society today?

Unfortunately, being white you haven't the slightest clue what being racially discriminated against is about. The fact that you think that Blacks and Indians discriminate against you, only compounds that thought in my mind.
Another difficulty is that in failing to see someone for who they are, you perpetuate the discrimination. Combatting racism means appreciating and celebrating a person for who they are and that includes their gender, their race, their size, etc. When people truly start to value each other for who they are, we'll see a lot less racism -- Not before. So will you.
If you as a white man feel discriminated against, perhaps you should take a look at what you do to people to make them want to denigrate you.
You are not discriminated against. You are privileged.

You are responding to more of a cultural aspect than and racial one.
When we are in our early 20's, we tend to want to change the world and seem to maintain a, "Can't we all just get along?" thought process.
Then, we grow up and we realize that actually, no, we really can't all get along but we can all learn to turn the other cheek, show tolerance and realize that our place in life will not make us fit in or belong every where we go.
It's good that you don't see color or body type. You are part of the way there. Now, you just have to let go and understand that the world isn't here to serve you. We are all here and need to try and make the best of it.
And for the record, the Indians (Native Americans) are in fact still suffering at the hands of our governments. When was the last time you visited a reservation? And you are worried about them discriminating against the rest of us? I don't think so. They have every right to want to be separate.

Well, it might be that our system of government requires participation in order to work and people are too drugged or lazy to do this so other peoples in other countries have an inordinate amount of influence through bribery threats or intimidation?
A best example of this is the Deadbeat dad laws, which encourage judges to make "imputed income demands". This prevents a US citizen from taking the "job" of an illegal. Silly no? But drug importers make more money than any corporation, so they have the money to bribe, intimidate or coerce.

yeah, I know what you mean. It's like saying the word "******".
You can't say it to a black because they will beat you to a pulp.
because it's said in a negative way, and not meaning brotherly love, That's why you'll hear a black person say to another black person. their translation is like whadup cuz? Yo homie.. you see? it's got alot to do with their history and heritage.

there are scars from old injustices being taken out today.
we can feed these wounds by retaliating, or find a constructive way to heal once and for all.

It is really not racism unless you ALLOW it to offend you.
