I agree with you about walking in a black neighborhood after dark.

The racism does go both ways and it seems to me that when a black person makes comments that are racist, they don't seem to get nearly as much backlash as when a white person makes a comment that is racist.-

What does that to do with what this teacher wrote on a blackboard. It sounds to me you condone what this teacher wrote.. The sad thing is this teacher teaches history and still doesn't have a clue about American history. I think his credibility is totally shot.

Tell ya what. Let the African-Americans do to the whites what the whites did to African-Americans - let 25 million white people die either in slavery or in the holds of slave ships. Let them follow that by making white folk the last-hired, first-fired for a century or more, and confining white folk to ghettos. And lynching those white folk who looked sideways at a black woman or otherwise got "uppity."

of course there are racist people in every group. but when it comes to white people in america, the racism isn't just individualized, its institutionalized. we're talking business loans, job opportunities, etc.
education and experience being equal, a white man with an arrest record still has a better chance of being hired on wall street than a black man with a clean record. -

Do you know what is he worst thing a white person can say to a afroe american WELL IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT YOU ARE NOW ON YOUR OWN. THAT WOULD STRICK FEAR THRU THEIR WHOLE BODY.WE WHITES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WOULD SUCK IT UP AND KEEP ON BUILDING AMERICA INTO THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD. EACH YEAR WE WOULD HOLD A DAY IN THANKS THAT OUR FORE FATHERS HAD TO INDURE DEATH AND HARD SHIPS SO THAT TODAY WE COULD BE BORN AMERICAN AND ENJOY THE BENIFITS WE ENJOY TODAY. WE WOULD NOT SPENT OUR TIME TRYING TO SUCK MONEY FROM THE SINS OF PEOPLE LONG DEAD

This is the stupidity that perpetuate racism...it's more than likely that this history teacher made such a fools statement. AZHLFCG - your forefathers like my forefathers had a hand in making this country what it is, my fathers may not have written the history books so his accomplishments were left out.
Reply
But my fathers worked on your fathers plantations for free for hundreds of years, all the while growing the worlds cash crops, my fathers fought alongside your fathers in all of the important wars of this nation and died while doing so. Your fathers however neglect to mention those little tidbits in his history books.
In our current wars my children's and grand children's fathers are fighting alongside your fathers and mothers and daughters ans sons, they are and have been putting their worth on the line for this nation for as long as your fathers have. But yet you choose the bigoted way to go...this is as much my country as it is yours or anyone else the sooner we learn that the better off we will all be. Welfare is another thing...African American pay taxes and we get back a fraction of what we pay...the way I see it those blacks on welfare i pay for them not you but you find a way to take credit for everything the black Americans have ever done. We had and have a Hugh hand it this country being what it is today and in the future.
Look this thing is way too big to deal with in little snapshots...i just wanted to let you know that my fathers had a hand in this too!

I hate to inform you, but evrything you stated is not only racist, it is incorrect, it was a blackman that sold the first slave. Study the history before you try to place blame and as for this whitie, I have never owned a slave and I'll bet you have never been one either.......

itsjustme1955 - If so it was a white man that bought the first slave, nothing you say make any sense.. Blacks were enslaved by whites and it was not right (IT WAS WRONG), not matter how you twist it to make yourself feel better, no matter who still have slaves or who sold whom or what. If those African slave owners you speak of were enslaving whites would you be so cavalier about it?
Reply
And to address slavery in Africa It must be said and understood, it's the same as a job here, the slaves in Africa are in some way beholding to the person that enslaves them, unlike the slaves brought here. Slavery in Africa by enlarge were what we call indentured servitude... you owe someone and you labor for free for a period of time to pay it off...upon completion of such, you are free to go unlike slaves in the US!
The problem here is we have the bigots like this teacher imparting false knowledge to the likes of you and yours!
Most of your comments on slavery is revisionist and not factual in the least bit!

If you really did walk through a black neighborhood at night you would know that crime is not limited to whites or any one race in perticular. Anyone can be a victim of a crime in those neighborhoods... If you want to talk about real racism get in a car with 2 black guys driving around a nice suburb almost anywhere in this country and see if you dont get nasty looks or messed with by the police....

As for the article i thought it was actually kind of funny and there isnt enough information to determine wether it was straight up racism. It wasnt appropriate for a classroom but i dont think it was automatically racist... -

Racism definitely does NOT go both ways. You can only be racist if you're a part of the group who originally oppressed the other group. On the part of Black folks, it's purely mistrust of Whites that's completely understandable and warranted.

so you believe only the group with the power can be racist? you buy into that eh?
Reply
a ridiculous notion
it's so ridiculous, I can hardly think of an effective approach to show you WHY its ridiculous.
let's try this approac:h:
you are familiar with the Rwanda genocide, I assume
two groups, one had the favored status and power transfered to them by 'whites'
the second group, the darker skinned Africans, decided to change that
was what the second group did racist, when the slaughtered the first and seized power, committed genocide according to the color of their skin?
racism:
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
you can redefine racism if you like, but here's how Websters defines it
Racism is a belief
anybody can believe any damn thing, regardless of their station in society
and using your definition instead of Websters', in nearly any situation the power and relationship can shift
remember Colin Ferguson? [I think that was his name] The 'black rage' subway spree killer?
He adjusted that power paradigm with a gun, would you call what he did NOT 'racist' at least in method, and disagree with his own defense? He said he specifically targeted whites.
anybody can be racist, of course those with the power in a society can be more effective at exercising their racism and putting it in practice, if that's your point
if it isn't, you have no point
----
by the way, saying Jews are good with money and black people like watermelon is a generalization.
Many are and many do
Al Campanis made a generalization that black people aren't as good as whites at swimming
many aren't
they still were gonna fire his ass
a generalization using race, 9 out of 10 times, IS a racist statement
[saying white people need to use more sunscreen, for instance, would not be considered racist]-

"...racism isn't just
individualized, its

Individualized racism is
the manifestation of
institutionalized racism
which gives it presumed validity
and provides it a fully
supportive framework and

At the heart of both

I'll remember that the next time I spit in a white cops sandwich while working at MacDonalds because I hate whites, especially white cops.
Reply
It's not racist because the cop has the power, a whole history of whitehood PLUS governement backing. It's not racist, just gross, because I'm a powerless minimum wage worker.
You have to stop at saying the institutionalizing of racism and creation of an imbalance of social equity disadvantaging one group of people greatly foments and spreads racism, which I believe myself, and leave it at that
to say that one group of people can't be racist, is racist in itself and illogical, as I have shown-

well man, are you then asserting that if racism doesn't become a social institution it never exists?
Reply
I'm sure you know that's ridiculous
there's this thing called xenophobia-it does not start from without because power is lent to one group or another, but from within.
It starts from within, from childish fear of other, and THEN becomes institutionalized in social strata
you may call me petty, if you wish, but it is you who do not understand.
you do not understand the psychological underpinning of racism, which comes from within, becomes a self-propagating phenomena thru social support and re-enforcement
otherwise, would there be people that, also from within, reject what thier society tells them?
wouldn't we all still have slaves? afterall it was the social norm.
your argument that racism only comes from socially instituted re-enforcement, even on an individual basis, stands on its head:
chicken and egg.
where then does racism begin, if not with the individual? where did it begin to START a social structure of power imbalance to make individual blowback?
if not with individuals who let fear get the best of them.
you may call me petty, but I call you a highly intelligent individual
I'm confident it'll come to you, if you let go of your ideologic stance that is
PS:
as for my assumption, if you look back, you'll see that you were taking up anothers argument that was saying EXACTLY that, that only the group with the power can be racist
I'll admit I was writing for others benefit as well as yours
it is not a semantic issue BTW, but a logic one
think chicken and egg
you'll get it if you let yourself-

Reply
''I would however go one step

you got that backwards: individual racism creates institutionalized racism FIRST, then the vicious cycle. then institutionalized racism can manifest individual racism
but to say individual racism is only attached to power and ONLY exists as a result of iinstitutionalized racism is putting the cart before the horse.
of necessity, individual racism MUST be able to exist apart from institutionalized racism, for individuals must be the ones who begin the institution
ok I'm done. thank you for the mental exercise and fare you well

Racism DOES exist on both sides, that's true. But the point of this article is being ignored entirely, and for the sake of intellectual honesty you'd best acknowledge it. An educator used a racial epithet in a classroom. That is the article's point. If your response to that is to evade it and say, "Well... er... black people are racist too" then you are failing to address the point here. And I'm sick of the evasions. What this teacher did was wrong, and he should be fired. End of story. -

How many White americans were enslaved, lynched, experienced Jim crow, and segregation? African americans experienced thiswhite "discrimination" for hundreds of years, and we still fight against it. White people haven't experienced any degree of discrimination that was government sanctioned of that magnitude so quit it. Also most Black people won't walk down a street in a "black neighborhood" by themselves either because we know that a bullet knows no color.

Yeah, but who out of you WANTS to walk in a black neighborhood after dark. Unless your buying drugs or something. My point being, you try to use this reverse discrimination argument, but it doesn't hold water. Like it's now the poor opressed white people. Who still can't get jobs and are treated like second class citizens? It's still black people. If they come at you harsh, Hey, they're angry. And yes, still have some right to be. After all these years they still get looked upon as all bad. You only treat the athletes and movie stars, etc, with any small bit of respect.

Correction, there are more racist remarks and actions coming from whites than blacks. Blacks tolerate whites more than vice versa. You will find a few blacks every now and then that have something negative to say towards whites, but it is nowhere near as bad as the whites reaction to blacks. I had a white person let the door close on me at the store one day and then they just stood in front of the door and saw me trying to come out. So, that is nothing compared to what we face.

I have first hand experiences with racism from the time I could walk and talk to the present, so if Say Anything's comment doesn't satisfy the requirements for you, maybe these will:
Reply
5 yrs old - Watched a mean-spirited, racist store manager accost my grandmother and grab her by a growth on her neck because he decided she must've "stolen" something and hidden it under her coat (where the growth was).
6 yrs old - Almost got put off the bus for sitting too close to the front and not realizing that it wasn't "allowed" for colored folks.
8 yrs old - Store clerk refused to acknowledge me and my little classmate's presence or wait on us when we were supposed to be picking up some small items for a class party. I told my classmate I wanted to leave and buy the stuff elsewhere, but she had the money and she was too afraid to say or do anything but keep waiting in humiliation. I've never forgotten that.
11 yrs old - Rudely groped by dirty old white man in the A store, and trailed by him to the check out line, where he continued to "bump" my rear with his shopping cart. I was terrified to leave the store for fear he would try to attack me when I left. He kept whispering "I'll give you a dollar to pinch your titty." Makes me want to puke to this day!!
15 yrs old - Walking home from choir rehearsal with friends, and some poor whites in a run down boarding house tossed a jar of mayonaise at us. The bottle broke and some of the glass lodged in my leg, causing me to limp home bleeding and in pain.
15 yrs old - Went to a corner store to purchase a new broom and the store owner insisted on me purchasing a broom with a "red" handle. I was puzzled by that because I was partial to a green handled broom and didn't want the red handled one, but as it was just a broom, I went ahead and bought it. When I told my mother about the store owner's insistence that I by the red handled broom, she explained to me that "red" is supposed to be the "nig ger's" color.
18 yrs old - Sit in at the local Woolworth's Store because blacks were not allowed to eat at their lunch counter.
21 yrs old - FINALLY allowed to go to the "white" beach. (Whites had been able to come to the "colored" beach my entire life and often did - to allow their dogs to relieve themselves on our sand and in our water).
Constant barage of name calling: Nig ger, pickaninny, jigaboo, sambo, sapphire, aunt jemima, nappyhead, "boy" (applied to full grown and even elderly men), "gal" (applied to full grown and even elderly women, married or unmarried), wench, bastard....
Those are just a few of many many many instances in the life of 1 black person (yours truly). Trust me, there are thousands of others.-

Bad things happen all the time and it doesn't always have any thing to do with skin color. We put up with stuff all the time but I can't blame it on racism. A lot of times I blame it on stupidity. Thursday my daughter had a black girl in her science class put her finger in my daughters face and call her a looser. This girl is known for being mean to people all the time and it is apparent she isn't being raised right. Well she has been told that she better never put her finger in my childs face again. She lucked up Thursday. My daughter will not start a fight but someone sticking their finger in your face is asking for trouble.
Reply
Also, I get sick of hearing how the "N" word is so bad and I respect that and I don't use it. Try explaining to a 6 year old why it is ok for black people to degrade each other by using it all the time but if someone else of a different color uses it their world falls apart. And in their so called music they use it all the time and they call their women all kinds of degrading names. Worse than white people ever thought about.

I believe that you are wrong. There are two young black girls that I work with that will not even speak to me because I am white. I will speak to them and even go out of my way to say hello, or have a nice day, to only have them stare me straight in the eye and say nothing. These are young girls in their 20's, unbeliveable. Wonder what they would say about me if I was the one that did NOT speak to them. Maybe I will do that and I bet they have a mouthful of trash talk as I walk away!!!

I agree with the person who just replied to your racist remarks. I am so tired of WHITE people walking around saying stupid things like.."Oh, poor pitiful black me" and all that crap that white people keep spewing. Few white people with these negative comments against the black race here, gets it at all. They don't get that less than 50 years ago, there were "colored" drinking fountains because the whities didn't want to get black germs on them; there was back of the bus'; there was not being able to go into MANY hotel/restaurants unless you came through the back door and sat in the kitchen, no matter how much money you had. AND MOST WHITES ON THESE POSTS WHO ARE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST BLACKS, have NEVER had that sort of persecution aimed at them throughout their young lives...This is barely a generation away and yet...the white folks here just don't have the intelligence to get how deep those wounds go. I am embarrassed that I am a white man after reading these things. It's obscene.

I just chronicled some of those experiences in my life. Left off at age 21 because it would take up entirely too much space to have continued to my current age of 60! Black people are historically more forgiving and more willing to accept other cultures than vice versa. Ironically, it is precisely because we know what it's like to be mistreated and ostracized because of the color of our skin and our culture, that we are much less likely to dish out that kind of treatment to anyone else.
Reply
That is not to say there aren't some of us who do. After all, we are a diverse in our thinking and attitudes as any other group of people. Nevertheless, on the whole, we are charitable, compassionate, loving people.
Thank you for showing some fairness and for considering the other side of the coin.

Certainly you jest ... Blacks make fun of Whites and even Asians in comedy clubs, on TV shows, among each other and just within earshot of anyone. Yet say one word about Black incarceration rates, rate of illegitimate births, number of kids who don't finish high school, or the number in poverty, and you will be accused of overt racism.
Reply
No ---- Blacks have been empowered and protected for 40 plus years, have been given more legal advantages than any other racial group, yet have consistently been last in virtually every intellectual and economic measure in this country. That is not my fault and is certainly not the fault of everyone else who does his job, finishes his education, doesn't have babies out of wedlock, and doesn't go to jail for violent and drug crimes.
If the Black community would clean up its own mess, as Dr. Bill Cosby and so many of its own preachers have recommended for years, the additional legal support systems would not be necessary.-

I am so sorry Bill Cosby made those infamous remarks because I knew they would be used by bigots like you to justify your smug, racist attitudes.
Reply
Mr. Cosby speaks for the comfort of having arrived and he, imho, has forgotten the struggle that continues despite his arrival. It is fine for him to point out areas in which our comunity needs improvement, but if he is not willing to roll up his sleeves and help bring improvement rather than just point fingers from afar, I don't want to hear it! Furthermore, it does absolutely nothing to kick someone when he's down. All it does is make him angrier, less trustful, less hopeful, and less likely to try to get up again.

what if he was born in the US? what if his parents were too? maybe his great great grandfather first came here from Germany. what if he goes back to Germany, and someone tells him to go back to where he came from?
should he go back to the US, or keep going thru his ancestral chain...
...until he has to go back to Africa, considered by most to be the cradle of civilization.
then they tell him to go back to the ocean, where all life supposedly came from

If you believe that there is more racism on the part of white folks than blacks you probably also believe that you are "african". I am as african as you are, blacks have been born in this country for generations and should simply be American just like the rest of us. Racism is continued by the BLACK community, promoted by the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Those two should be jailed for promoting racism. If a white man ever did what either one of those two hate mongers does, he'd be ostricized and never have a job in public life again. Seen a Miss WHITE USA pageant lately? How about the American WHITE College Fund? Perhaps White Entertainment Television? Don't tell me about racism or that blacks are descriminated against, you reap what you sow. Why is it that the Black community seems to think the rest of us owe them something?

Racism is going to be the downfall of this Country! No One is looking past Obama's race and seeing the real man. They are only seeing a black man and deciding he's the one they want based on his color alone! Big mistake people! If you just feel you simply MUST have a black man in office then by all means get a GOOD black man to run . Colin Powell would be a good candidate!

Puhleese! If the black community would stop trying to make us pay for the mistakes of our ancestors, there wouldn't be such a divide. It's done. It's over. It's history. History being the key word here. Move on and stop making us pay. Maybe then things will change.

Are you serious?! Honestly, how many black neighborhoods have you walked through at night.... And if so, what are you doing around there if you believe black people are so racists? This is absolutely ridiculous, and just goes to show how ignorant you are. Not all black people are racist, and not all white people are racist-- so don't categorize or stereotype a race for whatever encounter you may have experienced... And honestly, I doubt you've been to many black neighborhoods-- especially at night.

In my home town you have to drive thru the black neighborhood to get to the downtown. All of the white live in the suburbs so don't give me, why would you be in a black neighborhood at night. Just go to a game or other activity in Atlanta and have to park or walk a few blocks.

Animals? You actually have the audacity to refer to blacks as ANIMALS! If they were such ANIMALS, why would you chance such a trip? You really did NOT have to venture to a "black neighborhood" to get your daily dose of meth; I am SURE your upstanding "suburb" would have suffice. HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to respond toyour comment about walking in a black neighborhood after dark. In this day and age walking anywhere at night is not a stroke of brilliance. You can be attack by anyone that is so inclined to be a preditor. Black people have to be concerned about walking in white communities in the daytime as well a night. Their are communities that we are afraid to even drive through for fear of being stopped or harassmed. It does not matter what you look like. Often it has to do with driving a car that may be just a little too nice in the opinion of the officer. Have you ever heard of being stopped for "driving while being black or brown". The statement was insane and it should be judged solely on that basis. Why would someone that is suppose to be teaching children be allowed to teach such ignorance.

You would be surprised at how many whites are in black neighborhoods because they are looking for drugs away from their lilly white neighborhood. It does not appear that they are TOO SCARED TO COME THEN.

Those same "druggies" would not want to admit they love the blacks. It is a sorry world and I don't think it will ever get better. Whites can be dumb as a door knob and they will get a job (if they want one)faster than an educated black. SORRY SORRY SORRY

You have got to be kidding me!!! Was using "they are not as assertive during daylight" like saying "black people only come out at night"? This is sickening! who is "they", and why in 2008 are people so damned ignorant to use such a phrase? And by the way, I'm neither black nor white. I am a Chicana(american of mexican descent) who is tired of so many people not knowing facts before speaking or writing. I had to make sure i had to explain what race I am and what the word means, because i know there would have been somone out there who would have to told me to "go back to mexico" if i had not said that, and just used "hispanic"....ugh!! wth are "U" people thinking with all these sickening comments?

Seriously, there is much less hatred for whites in the black community. We have grown accustom to your ignorance and simply pity you. You are easier to ignore than not. Believe it. However, reflecting on American history blacks have been tormented, raped, lynched, drug behind trucks til their skin was worn off, and brutalized simply for being black. White boys and men thought it funny to kill them a black person. I just took an African American history course over the summer and read how the KKK lynched an 8 month pregnant black woman and cut her unborn child from her womb. The baby fell to the ground and they stomped and beat it to death. After which, they burned their bodies. Blacks have never been so cruel. God forbid if we did ever decide to retaliate. Have you ever seen white men and women hanging from tree branches? NO. Have your family members been separated from their children so they can work the land of a stranger for little to nothing? Have you or your family worked hard in the fields 6 days a weeks for seventeen hours a day only to be in debt to your master because you couldn't feed and cloth and provide adequate shelter for your family during the winter? You must admit blacks have been mistreated terribly in this country. When are you going to let go? Your people payed for us to come here and now that you can't blatantly abuse us you want us to disappear. Make up your minds. There are very few places on earth where you will not find blacks. Try it. Did you forget you are black too? Human kind began in Africa. That's why it is called the motherland. We were the first and will be the last.
This doesn't excuse any bad behavior but we all are capable of the same horrible acts, whites just seem to have it embedded into their DNA. The racial humiliation, degradation, and moral injustices blacks have faced for centuries at the hands of the white man can not be disputed. But our spirit has not and will not be broken. We have and shall overcome and prosper, so says the Lord our GOD. May God have mercy on your soul you pitiful pitiful person.

You are so full of ****. The only way that could be true is if you dressed like a city hooker. Still, if you walked in a upper class white neighboorhood looking like that you may get alot of stares and dirty looks but nobody would say anything. And yes, I guarentee you are right about the people in the bad black neighborhoods. Dressed like a hooker and being white, I bet you didn't get called "honkey", "redneck", "****", etc.. I bet they tried grabbing and groping you as well as saying things like" get dat fine white a** over here and let me hit dat" or "yo B**** get over here and suck my D***" or you may of been raped and if you were not you are very fortunate then.

Most of the racial slurs and prejudices come from uneducated,young black males.Which account for over 50% of young black males.They are so easily influenced by trying to be cool,violent and accepted.This phase usually dissipates when the young black males becomes older ,wiser and comes to realize there is a life out there than being a thug.Too many its too late and wind up in prison or dead. So , try again ctwoman and be honest with yourself and then the rest of us honest good people out here.

This teacher should be fired not reassigned. Then maybe he should be dropped off in a black neighborhood and left late at night. When he gets out with his lilly white skin he could thank the blacks in that neighborhood for not giving him what he deserves.

That's not been my experience. 98% of all crimes are NOT committed by blacks. Most really large crimes are committed by white people. i.e. Thousands taken for their life savings in the Enron thing and, oh yeah, a bunch of white bankers taking 700 billion from everyone in America. And add a tax break for them too just to give us an extra poke in the eye.

The last time that happen ********1 - the blacks built better town than white, and you got so jealous you burn them all down to the ground and killed it's inhabitance or most of them...Now for something that makes sense, your ignorance is such that you haven't realize that the two races are so interdependent that they cannot exist without the other! Don't you think they have been others just like you full of hate and lies? If you look at the raw numbers they are more Whites in jail, and more whites that commit crimes...what you speak of is Percentages (the worlds greatest lier) The US prison system has over 3 million prisoners of which a little under 1 million are black, of that 10% are innocent and another 8% should not be there...they are there for crimes that young whites are given community services over.
Reply
Our prison system is being traded on the stock market at $37.90 the last time I checked. People are in prison because it has become a profitable business...I was watching a show about Texas justice. There was an African male who was caught smoking weed and because of the 3 strike rule he got life in prison.... on the other hand a young white male was convicted for attempted murder he got 5 years from the same Judge ( ask yourself if that is the way things should be).
Blacks don't kill each other any less or more than whites. Fact is you are more likely to have a white person commit a crime against you than a black person. Black crimes are more sensationalized by the News Media than white crimes, this is why you have your belief.
Have you heard of the innocence project they have freed over 200 innocent people and think that they may be thousands more. You have been misled into your anger and i can see you are not smart enough to think your way out, why do you think you are in the minority among whites when it comes to your thinking on blacks and others. Smart people know what would happen if you implement what you are calling for. You would first off see the instant collapse of the American economy, the service industry will dry up and your stupid ass would more than likely be out of a job and the Utopian existence you dream of.

You're right! The teacher should be fired and not allowed to teach again! Young people have enough bad influence without their teachers adding to it! I am white and some of the nicest, caring people I know are black. I was at the beach one day when a white guy I had never seen before would not leave me alone, he even followed me into the water with his clothes on. No one would do anything, none of the white men or women that were watching, and a middle aged black woman came and stood by me untill the beach patrol police got there.

A lot of people here confuse racism with bigotry. Ones sees very little racism from blacks, blacks predominately seek equal treatment with whites. Whites seek continued special treatment they receive from other whites which is racism. Bigotry is far more common among both groups and simply means the intolerance one has non-members of their particular group. While all racists are inherently bigots, not all bigots are racists. Even Farakhan has repented his racist (separatist) views. Racism involves a belief of superiority and hence a right to control the other group(s).

I wish everyone would stop saying that we are voting for Obama because he is black. If you haven't noticed we have minds to think and make decisions. I am not the biggest political person but I do know what issues affect me and what i want in a president. Any intelligent person will weigh the issues with each candidate and choose who is right for them regardless of race. Now did you call it racism when we voted for Clinton? No you didn't because he was white!! We did not vote Jesse Jackson in, or any other black political person because they did not represent what we wanted. So please stop making this election racial. And yes I do like him a little better because he is black, I love that there is a possibility for history to be made once again.

Whoa, blacks are not always victims. And sometimes Racism doesn't hurt anyone. Take for example this figure: During the democratic and republican primaries almost 95% of blacks voted for Barack Obama. Why do you think that is? Because he is black. This does not hurt anyone but it is still racism. However, I completely think this thing with the "CHANGE" acronym is completely inappropriate.

You have no right to make such a statement and you are as wrong as you can be.

The assumed supremacy of the white members of this society is appreciated by those who benefit from it...ie...since when is a person of color a member of a "minority class" anyway? Let's not argue the obvious truth...There is institutional privilege in being "white", but the objective should be to realize that it is a myth (the right to the privilege by virtue of skin color) and it should be dispelled in our realized mutual humanity...observe children... and display the modeling of acceptance and tolerance that is based on the this truth... and all know this dominated

Racism by definition, is discrimination based on a belief that one race by nature is superior to another. If you keep this in mind, you'll realize that blacks are rarely in a position to be racist towards whites. Moreover, I see nothing racist about blacks voting for a candidate they may truly feel they can relate to. White people do it all the time, and were always in a position to do only that until now!

You made the comment that blacks are racist because we are voting for Obama. We normally only have white candidates to vote for so that poll is stupid. We don't always vote for black candidates either, explain why Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not get alot of black votes. Please check your facts. You are the one sounding racist. We finally have a black candidate of substance and you cannot deal with it. OUr voting for Obama has nothing to do with race. THere are quite a few blacks who are voting for McCain so I guess we can them racist because they are not voting for the black candidate. Get real and get a life.

Here, let me educate you on something. You said that 95% of black people voted for Obama because he is black and that this is racism. That is really silly. Have you thgought about the 99% of whites that voted for Mcain? Are they racist becasue they voted for Mcain and not Obama? So you see how silly what you said is. People vote based on who they think is relatable to them which is based on culture, religion, background and values which are all linked to race one way or another. And the real reason many black people like Obama is not just because he is black. It is because he is black AND QUALIFIED. Rememeber a lot of blacks were very skeptical about him initially

Well, IF what you are saying about 95% of black voting for Obama is because he is black, then that's pretty sad...but how do you know that they are choosing him because they don't want another 4 -8 years of Republican rule? I'm black and quite frankly, I had never heard of Obama until about 2 years ago and I havent decided who I am voting for yet...so assume you know why peole do things...not every black person, or even 95% of them are voting because he's black, some are voting for him because they don't want McCain or Palin.

95% of African Americans supporting Obama? We must first remember that in recent years 88 to 90% of Blacks have supported the Democratic Ticket...thus the 95% figure is not as dramatic of a increase as you may think. This increase is not racist...its pride within the African American community that for the first time in the history of this country that we have a black person nominated by a major political party for the Presidency of The United States.

Well, been interesting reading the response. While I think it inappropriate for the teacher to make such an inference, I am in Florida where black teachers regularly say "yo ni****s, sit down. If it's wrong in a public institution for whites to refer to blacks in that manner, it ought to be wrong for blacks to refer to blacks in that manner as well. Anything different is real racism.

Here's something that should be said, when you spout to others to get their facts straight it sure would be much more credible when you have yours straight as well. Misspellings and typos certainly don't lend to your argument as passionate as it might be; in fact, it detracts from your own credibility and argument. I wish the bailout were only 700 dollars. I wish the government would not have rewarded those who so poorly mismanaged individual's funds for their own gain. Best to edit your work before posting it for all to read.
Back to the topic at hand.
The teacher while not able to control how he feels, certainly should have had the ability to control his actions, if that was not the case, then his actions are considered to be signs of immaturity. Clearly his students are more adult than this misguided ignorant soul. He really shouldn't be allowed to teach until he "grows up".

Honestly, how many black neighborhoods have you walked through at night................I walk in my black neigborhood all the time. However I refuse to shop at the local Super-Kart anymore. I got fed up with being the only one asked for ID when I used my credit card and/or the cashiers making/taking cell phone calls when it was my turn to get checked out. I also stopped shopping at another store because for some reason I am the only one that never gets a bagger even when I had my arm in a sling and the cashier acted like she was too busy to give me a hand. A wonderful black man helped me while she checked him thru. Thank God!!!

Yeah, I've been to black neighborhoods. I went with my best friend, who is black, when I went to play basketball with him and his friends, several players were calling me whitey, honky and cracker, and for no other reason than I was the only white guy there. While when my friend came to play in my neighborhood, which is predominantly, but not solely a white neighborhood, there were no rac ial comments made towards him. And I have a black pastor who is a friend of mine and he told me that he was fired from a black church because he allowed white people to attend. His word..not mine. Racism is alive and well in America - they have songs, clothing and whole culture to glorify it: It's called Hip Hop.

Xnphnx - you had me until your last line, and then I knew you were nothing more than a big fat liar...hip hop is not a black culture my friend it's an American culture. Some of the biggest selling artiest in hip Hop are white...if America were more like Hip Hop we wouldn't be here today having this conversation. Hip Hop sir/man transcends race, why else do you think an artist like Marshal Matters (White) can be the biggest selling artist of hip hop. And the manager/producer of 50 cent the new king of hip hop?

As for the ball players calling you names, did they call your friend and their friends the N word? It's call trash talking it happens in every pick-up game, just wait until they get on your mother, they have on mine. If they really had a problem with you sir., do you think you would be able to walk off the court?
Next time you see your black friends ask him if it wasn't trash talking. I am 100% sure he will say yes. It's a cultural thing and it's considered to be a form of inclusion, if they were not feeling you they would take your freaking head off and stay quiet, that they call you names it means in that setting that they thought you were one of them/cool as it were. I am sure your black friend told them you were cool that's why they took liberty of including you in the trash talking. My white friends get it so much so that they use the N word right and talk about how they had my mom that morning with no ill feelings.
On this it's ignorance of the culture that you visited not racism!

Being white, I find that "A lot of times", a black person waiting on me in stores will act unfriendly, their demeanor shows me the contempt they have for whites. There are some that smile and act civil, but it is impossible to know if they are sincere or just good actors.

I am deeply troubled that the racial divide in the United States is the worst in the world. I am currently writing from Brazil. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood and my home in valued upwards of 1 million dollars. My neighbors are very hard working, respectful and financially well-off.

To make a racist comment about crime in black neighborhoods presumes that all blacks are poor and live in crime-ridden neighborhoods. This is far from the truth but does reflect what is commonly seen on television and on the local news.
I would love for the writer of this unfortunate comment to give details of his/her last walk through a black neighborhood and what lead up to this walk -

I can tell that you've never walked in Black neighborhood at night. You won't be attacked for the following reasons:
Reply
1. They would think you were customer (drugs or sex). Why would they attack a means of income.
2. If you attack a white person in black neighborhood the police would be there in record time (they're already there trying to arrest the people there).
3. I happen to live in a Black neighborhood and I have yet to see or hear about any White people being attacked.
4. Statically speaking it is more dangerous for a Black person to walk in Black neighborhood at night (Black on Black crime is much higher than Black on White).
You either watch too much TV or play too much Grand Theft Auto. Do you even socialize with any Black people? Not all of them want to kill or hurt anyone, but live in peace... -

PERHAPS ONE WOULD "HEAR" MORE ABOUT WHITES WALKING IN "BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS" AFTER DARK THEN, BLACKS IN "WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS" AFTER THE DARK......THE REASON BEING, RACIAL PROFILING WITHIN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM: STARTING WITH THE POLICE. IT'S "OKAY" FOR A WHITE TO WALK IN A "BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD" BUT, YOU RISK GETTING ARRESTED SHOULD YOU BE BLACK AND WALK IN A "WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD".

THE VERY FACT THAT IN 2008 AMERICANS STILL HAVE "WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD" AND "BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS" SPEAKS VOLUMN OF THE RACISM WHICH STILL EXIST!
I AM FILIPINA AND HAVE BEEN PRACTICING MEDICINE IN THE USA FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS. WE'RE ALL HUMAN! I'VE CONCLUDED, BLACKS ARE VERY TOLERANT PEOPLE AND HAVE BEEN WRONGLY STEREOTYPED BY SOCIETY. WHITES NEED TO PRACTICE ACCEPTANCE AND TOLERANCE AND PERHAPS, JUST PERHAPS.....THE USA COULD BEGIN TO ERASE THE RACISM THAT'S VERY REAL IN THIS COUNTRY.-

I am appalled that such an ignorant statement would be made. There are places in South Boston, which is predominately white, which are unsafe for white or black to enter at night. The fact that you are confusing poverty with racism truly shows your lack of understanding and education about the way things are. You need to look into your overtly racist heart and have a "Come to Jesus Meeting" with yourself. WWJD. He would not accept Racism! He would not accept Bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and he surely would tell you tell catch a clue and look beyond skin color. BTW, I am a white-male Republican who is sick of the direction racists like you have taken our G.O.P. My vote for Obama this year is a reflection of my confidence in a man who transends race and color. His intellect is far greater than George Bush and/or John McCain, and he will make a capable leader, regardless of how you perceive his skin color.
