whenever real inequality or prejudice is brought up, even once and even if you have a real point, become ignorantly annoyed, think of you as a touble maker, attack you or hate you for it?

Why do black people do this, or do that?
I'm not black so I can't answer that. It's funny how ignorant people are assuming that I must be black because I'm talking about inequality, that really say's something

Maybe its becauese it makes them feel like they are being blamed by association, and they feel guilty. What you describe sounds like they are being defensive. I dont have a problem discussing inequality or prejudice with my black friends and the people Im close to, its nice to get all that out on the table. I guess it can depend on the way things are said tho. If somebody's all " youre people did this and youre people did that!!" then I would be annoyed. I can only speak for myself, dont know too many other white people, and all us humans are different anyway.

perhaps it is your manner of expressing your point of view on the matter.
Why do you have to single out white people? Isn't that hypocritical of you to make generalized assumptions about what cant even be called a race. "White" people consist of many different cultures and backgrounds and we are not all the same. Inequality and prejudice is prevelant in all of humanity. It seems to be a part of our basic animal instincts that many humans spend their life trying to overcome and retrain. We certainly did not choose to be this way. Why would we want to hurt ourselves, when we know deep down that we are all one?
For me to spite you for any reason is the same as me eating a fast food burger, or sucking on the tail pipe of an suv.
It serves only to destroy.
Maybe we HAVE to destroy ourselves, to survive, and advance as a species.
Like survival of the fittest.
Those who rise above the bigotry and violence, amonst other attributes, are leading the next evolution of man. And those of whom you demonstrate, will be left behind.

Actually not all whites are racists - whites have more in common with blacks than any other ethnic race, mexicans, asians, jews etc. Blacks have contributed more to :American Culture" than any other race - music, arts food etc.. What whites are frustrated about is how the blacks have let themselves be kicked about like a football, and used by political parties.- and in the process have learned to be helpless. Unlike other countries, where people align along economic classes, discrimination in the country aligns along ethnic classes & is provoked by those that stand to gain by having convenient victims around. Now, the convenient victims are the mexicans. Look at Hillary Clinton - saying white men will no longer be able to discriminate against blacks in her recent appearance - isnt that a bit insulting to blacks - like white middle class men have the power to discriminate against anybody.. we like the blacks are just barely getting by, and we really cannot afford more taxes - to take care of those who have learned to be helpless.

Its like the kid who cried "wolf." I think most whites (like me) have become so da*n tired of everything being about racism, when it isn't. A black doesn't get the job - its racism, a black is a crack addict - its somehow racism, too many whites on TV - its racism, and on and on and on, to the point that real issues which actually are racist, can't get a fair hearing. Stop using the da*n word unless you know for certain its applicable.

I think we're going down a bad road here...
*REALITY ALERT*
PEOPLE everywhere are foolish, self-centered, ignorant, vain, greedy, short-sighted, thoughtless, and stupid. They always have been and sadly, probably always will be. PEOPLE will always duck responsibility whenever they can and blame others for their shortcomings. PEOPLE will always try to externalize the evils of the human heart and place it into another group. PEOPLE are quick to judge, quick to anger, and slow to understand.
PEOPLE killed Jesus for upsetting the established order
PEOPLE killed the Jews for being different
PEOPLE killed the Armenians for being inconvenient
PEOPLE killed innocents in N. Ireland and Britain
PEOPLE raped and murdered nuns in S. America
PEOPLE slaughtered millions in Russia
PEOPLE slaughtered millions in S.E. Asia
Evil lies in the the HUMAN heart and it's the duty of ALL of us to fight the battle to defeat it every day. Look inside you.

Because Blacks are racists. That's how they operate. All these Blacks are going to attck you and call you a racist but these are the same Blacks that agree with a Black on here when they talk about some made up story of a White person doing something on here. And it's funny how they will call you a racist for speaking this truth but they are the first ones to whine about White people being racist against them.
