interestingly you have not examine the Rape of Nanking yet. additionally the Asian custom has tortured a lot of human beings in the two eastern, and Vietnamese prisoner of conflict camps. That propose the Asian background isn't basically marred yet extra violent in nature than something of a good area of the international. Being Asian you should be properly attentive to your very own continents background beforehand of posting issues that declare your custom is snow white sparkling. On being racist with your black chum, this is something that purely isn't conceivable. A racist will carry out strikes or say issues based on the dislike for yet another race. on account that the two certainly one of you're human that definition can't be met. you would be able to assert something in line together with his colour, or custom that are biased for however reason, however the useful guy or woman will see that the badly overused term racist would not exist.

Hi...
I think if you examine the issue you'll find that some self proclaimed leaders of the "American Black Community" are racist, but only by strict definition.
Racism is discrimination based on race. And they do indeed favor the Black side of issues, often at the expense of truth. That is to say... If a black person is clearly racist, or commits some racist act, they somehow never seem to recognize it. But... the reverse is clearly not true. You also might consider that this is only true if the "Black Leader" is also liberal. Some have turned "Racism" into an industry and they benefit by fanning the flames of racial disharmony.
Warm regards
Douglas

No, that is only your personal feeling. It is an insecurity of the person that is feeling it.
It's probably because they are not talking to whites or
in a positive light towards whites, and is usually an issue
where a black American has been disenfranchised in some way or robbed of justice.
That tends to get on some peoples nerves after a couple of hundred years. . .don't cha think?
p.s. Most 'Caucasian' people have no idea of what black America is doing, is going to do, who their leaders are and most don't have any personal experience with black people in general. Caucasians see the world in a very different light.
Listen. . ..that is a gross miscalculated statement. All black people aren't the same and neither are any one else from different walks of life. Try not to put everyone in the same boat. . there is good and bad within every culture and group on this earth!!!

We should be glad they aren't rioting like they did in L. A.
What if Oprah decided only blacks could be on her show? I think I can understand why some black leaders have to act the way they do to remain popular with their own people. It's only natural. My son was married to a black girl who always seemed to have some attitude about never being any mans slave. I doubt there's any women out there who want to be.

I don't think they are racists at all, they are just trying to avoid what the whites did in the 50s. Whites have created all these hatress against blacks already and this is something that you need to know. just imagine a black kid with whites friends and told not enter a club because it is mostly for whites in africa (Namibia). How on earth are you going to discriminate somebody in his place just because of his color? Whites are racists even though not every white is a racist.

You cannot deny which race or color you are. No matter what day in age, we will always be different...and that's fine. It will always be recognized in 'leaders', 'citizens', 'immigrants', no matter how you slice it or dice it.
The only problem that lyes is how you are treated & how you treat others. We all deserve the same respect & equal opportunity. If you happen to be a black leader (or white), you hold a position in which you must represent FAIRLY.
That is all we need from a person in high authority.

If there wasn't injustices done towards black people in the first place then I don't think we would see any racism coming from any side. This is an issue about race plain and simple. If you don't see that then your racism is what blinds you to that fact. Obviously, Al Sharpton must present the racism that is being brought against black people. And who is the racism coming from? White people. Not just regular white people because I am white(Italian American) but in Louisiana you have ignorant, racist white people. Racism is everywhere. Even here in New York. People of my nationality are racist and I atribute it to their ignorance and their sin.

Why wouldn't they be? They have been brought up in a land where their ancestors were enslaved by white men. Their great, great great great grandmothers were raped by white men, and the children of those grandmothers were raped and enslaved too. Then, when slavery ended, there were lynchings and extreme prejudice. Seperate restaurants, buses, water fountains, and schools made it clear that apartheid was indeed a reality in this country. Then, as laws were changed and society began to accept black people into the fold, this separatism still existed, but it was internalized, and it continues to stew now. Black leaders seem racist because they still can't trust white men, and I don't trust them either. Do you?

Sharpton was quoted as saying to an audience at Kean College in 1994 that, “White folks was in caves while we was building empires ... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” Sharpton defended his comments by noting that the term “****” was not homophobic but added that he no longer uses the term. Sharpton's defenders have said that the quote is often used out of context to undermine
Sharpton's image. Sharpton has since called for an end to perceived homophobia in the African-American community.
Farrakhan made several controversial statements about race, including "White people are potential humans — they haven't evolved yet" in March 2000, and "Murder and lying comes easy for white people" in 1994.
In an interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Farrakhan defended the position that black people are the original people of the earth and clarified that, "It doesn't suggest that we are superior or that you are inferior. Superiority and inferiority is determined by our righteousness and not by our color." In the same interview Farrakhan stated that, "any human being who gives themself over to the doing of evil could be considered a devil".
It's because they're stupid hypocrites.

It's called reverse racism and it's built up resentment for all the years the white man abused and oppressed black people. Our ancestors who owned slaves were horrible people, obviously. Problem is, we will always pay for those atrocities even though none of us were around then. I was brought up by my family to respect someone based on their character and not their race. Too bad not everyone feels that way.
I'm sure I'll get plenty of thumbs down on this one because it's an extremely heated question.
