    Racism is wrong no matter who the victim is. "White Guilt" is just a cop out, the theorists offer no real solutions just more division in an attempt to shift the burden and play the role of victim.

      The author came close to hitting the nail on the head, but missed. Is it any wonder that the same government that empowered whites to buy, sell, and trade blacks can't produce successful policies intended to instill racial harmony?

      The problem was US from the beginning, and WE THE PEOPLE need to fix it. Governments are ill suited to address problems that are moral and spiritual in nature.

        Most black Americans are very much like the rest of us... they are not pre-occupied with slavery, nor do they blame anyone, today, for the actions of their ancestors, hundreds of years ago. However, I have never met a black American, whether a decendent of slaves, or a more recent immigrant, who has not experienced some sort of discrimination, or prejudice, or condescension. Many white Americans (maybe most) view black Americans as somehow, truly "different".

          What about whites who complain about the double-standard that prevents them from holding white pride rallies, or calling a spade a spade? Do they have a legitimate point?
