we need to stop defining people by race.

we can be "colorblind" but we still put people in boxes depending on race. i say this because while racism towards minorities is highly persecuted in America (and i don't know about the rest of the world so i can't honestly say) and is rightfully so persecuted, racism towards whites is never recognised. i'm not saying white people have it worse, and the history of oppression against minorities (namely african-americans) is horrifying, but i just want to make it known that i could name several situations where racism against whites is not recognized. racism of ANY kind is wrong, whether against whites, blacks, latinos, asians, etc. so untill we fully recognize ALL racism, we will continued to be divided by race, whether or not we are trying to abolish those lines.

Tell those races to stop acting like victims, and stop putting themselves in their own groups then.
Many times, it's their own fault. And I don't think it's a big secret.

Black STILL face racism today...I don't think people are too worried about racism towards whites seeing as to its not nearly as bad or ever will be as bad as racism towards blacks.

Don't get me wrong I'm not justifying racism, I'm just saying racism towards whites doesn't compare to racism against blacks. Usually its a retaliation racism that minorities do to whites. So that means it stops towards us completely...and you wont have any towards you.

I disagree with this completely...this is only based on your opinion. I've seen many whites being discriminated against in my life time. Very few blacks....

No one has done MORE to keep black people down in America than Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.  The day the prejudice against blacks is gone is the day that Sharpton and Jackson are out of a job.  They WANT bad shit to happen to blacks, so that they can keep poking their noses where they don't belong.

Shitbags such as yourself are always attempting to justify racism, and this post is just a classic example of it.

That does not in any way make it acceptable.  Grade school retaliation was stupid in grade school.  It certainly has no place in the real world.  And I'm sorry, but I am not responsible for what a completely different person with a similar skin color does.  Hell, my ancestors weren't even involved, so no, I'm not going to say "Oh well it's okay then".
