Thepersonyouenvy NewbieI have my own opinion, but I want to hear what others think. Feel free to speak your mind.

My opinion has generally always been that racism is a two-way street and that it doesn't take being white to hate another race. So to answer your question, it is both liberals and conservatives. For every Republican who uses a negative image of blacks or Hispanics to incite racist fear, there is a Democrat that uses a negative image of white people to incite racist fear.

In my opinion, African Americans need to quit playing the race card. That is over with they are not the minority anymore. But no, I am not racist.

You are correct to a point. But African Americans are still a minority in number and probably always will be, and they still get a pretty big ration of s--- in this country. Certainly not as bad as it once was, but you are sorely mistaken if you think equality has been achieved. Read up on stop-and-frisk policing in NYC. Read up on discriminatory enforcement of anti-drug laws. Honestly, it is probably worse to be black in America than gay at this point, at least where I live.

Well where I live, African Americans are given free scholarships just for being African American. I'm not saying they aren't outnumbered because they are, in some places. If you only have one parent in the US its no big deal right? Well guess what? African American and only one parent? Scholarship. Things are changing, and where I'm from, if you want to go to college and you don't have too much money to spend on it, you're better off being African American. Especially in basketball. In high school if you want to play, you need to be African American, or you're riding the bench. So yeah. Naturally if someone pulls the black card, I'm going to tell them to kiss my white ass.

I had racism instilled at a young age not by my friends or parents, but by seeing a black try and steal some cash right in front of me and having hispanics who can't drive worth crap driving around nearly hitting people like me.
However I am against racial disrcimination purely because of accent, where people are from, and what they look like. -
Invisible Girl NoviceWhat I don't understand is why white people have to call people "African-American" instead of black, I know they were in slavery and all but they have no right to call us white if we can't call them black.

People can be s---ty, a--hole drivers or steal from people regardless of race. -
But 25% of hispanics are illegal immigrants.
-
lolokay NewbieSo that makes it okay to discriminate against them?
-
You know its wrong to discriminate a whole group of people' based on how much melanin they have in their skin. It's pretty silly once you think about it.

Geek: please dont get into the illegal immigrants things...
Yes I get made fun of because of my mixed race. on of my friends flat out told me he thinks mixed race marriges are wrong. But I dont give two s---s ofwhat people thing of me. even for my skin color. Im more pale than tan. -
quizmasters NoviceRacism is the most shameful thing In human civilization. It is the thing which discriminate a particular kind of people. Besides that it grows hate crime all over the world where people become violent.

Sometimes people in the USA like to belittle Africans by reminding them "they were once only worth 3/5 of a person" which is why the whole slavery battle is still brought up. You can't just blame one side when both are at it.
