i wish people could forget about race. Its stupid. Give it a few years and we'll all look the same anyway.

 
 besides, I know black people that are racist as hell.


Ok what does that have to do with known whites who say things.

That guy on ESPN..."nappy headed hoes"...come on now.

Give it a few more years...they may not be saying that but they will be saying something.

I'm hispanic and grew up in a white neighborhood. I've never been called anything like that so I don't know what your talking about.
well you dont know because maybe your hood is nce and polite. so thats good. i been called all kinda things. but that dont mean ppl are racist in my hood either.


I've seen people act racist against whites and racist against blacks in my lifetime. Just because something happened to one black guy doesn't mean they are all going through that.
i agree but thats not the pont of the topic.

the point is that ppl on LW keep saying that they are not allowed to be racist against black while ppl can be racist against whites.

I show that if some guy can be discriminated against and insulted for 2 years in a major company with gov funding ) and the company KNEW about it and did nothing) then racism against blacks is STILL going strong.

i dont say that whites never get racism against them. but its NOT true that ppl are not ALLOWED to be racist against blacks like some ppl claim.

Looks like the racist is back to proving the point that whites have to walk on egg shells when discussing minorities, but that the inverse is not true.

It is just some verbal abuse, and your attempt to even compare this to racism is disgusting...

Any posts that include the words 'I, me, or myself' are completely useless. We all have personal experiences, no fucking shit. We can all speak on behalf of entire races in regards to reverse discrimination, but the fact of the matter is, it doesn't occur as frequently as some of your personal experiences lead us to believe. We don't teach it because it's not worth being taught. I think a bunch of teenage angsters need to recognize that they are not the authoritative figures on education in the United States, and for good reason. Bud's point was well taken, however keep in mind his perspective of a 18 year old white kid who has a topic history of favoring his white bretheren. The same rule can apply for me as well, however I'm just stating the obvious.

Reverse Discrimination (The fact that you call it Reverse Discrimination actually proves your point entirely, I don't know why anyone has yet to mention this) is an issue in the United States, but nothing compared to the STILL LEGAL discrimination that many minorities face on a daily basis. You are comparing verbal abuse with denial of loans, jobs, etc. etc. As I stated though, that's your clearly biased viewpoint, and I have mine. However, I would like to say that most African Americans probably have a fairer view than you, the majority leader. I guess we will never know since we can only be born into race and we can not change it or choose it, not matter how hard some of us may try.

because no black is discriminated against other than by verbal abuse.

blacks with NO criminal records are called back for interview LESS than whites WITH criminal records. blacks WITH criminal records have practically NO chance in hell obv.  

So yeah its "just verbal abuse".
