No, others are racist but for different reasons.  White history month?  What are we learning for the entire year?  Oh yeah, white history.  Funds like the United Negro one are for the descendants of slaves (face it, that's how most if not all  Africans got here) who were released with nothing.  They had to survive in a world where there were relatively few employers (they wouldn't hire blacks).

Being white...I understand your frustration. Being from South-Africa...it is worse here believe me!!!!! BUT, thinks won't change that easily. Yes maybe you were not part of those days were they really suffered...but they did. For you it's in the past. For them it's still stories of family members that were treated brutally. Yes and maybe they always take advantage of this situation...but it is their advantage to take...because what white people did to them was beyond inhuman, and because of our foolishness, we will suffer a loooooong time

Finally I'm not alone! I think it is kind of racist, actually it is racist. Just think about it. A whole television network worshiping white people? It would be an outrage! Many black people would call it white supremacy. Am I right? Its ok for blacks to go around shouting "Black Power!" but a white person would be in trouble if they said "White Power!". I think its wrong that another race gets special rights because they've been done extreamly wrong. Don't get it twisted I feel really angry about slavery and segregation. But I think its wrong that Black people get off with some stuff that obviously they shouldn't. Thats just what I think.

I hate it when a black person assumes that because I am white I support slavery or ever had an ancestor who had slaves. They seem to forget it was blacks who sold them into slavery and white's who fought to free them. Not all whites supported slavery!  I think it was horrible but I am also sick of them thinking they are entitled because of it.  What about the jews? They were wronged too, what do they get?  The Indians we stole this land from were wronged, what do they get?  I think it is unfair that they can have all black beauty pageants, all black colleges, all black scholarships, we cannot have an all white anything or we would be in big trouble for discrimination, not that I would want to anyway, but how fair is that????!!!!!  I think everyone should have the same rights and I am sick of hearing how they think they have less rights when they actually have MORE.  They will get a job even if less qualified and I have seen first hand how they can sit around and do nothing and cannot be fired, by law, because company would be in trouble if they fired them.  I like black people, but it angers me to no living end that they get away with stuff like that!  I have black friends and have heard them make remarks about getting retribution one day.  That is a real pisser offer for me!!!!  I have done nothing wrong to them!

yes.  i believe everyone is racist, including me.  we live in a world that tells us since childbirth that dark people are bad.  if u are in a family of dark-complected people, chances are they tell u the opposite- that white people are evil.  society is setup this way, so I'm wary of anyone who says they have totally escaped this conditioning- don't trust them on that. \n\ni realize that i contain this bias and I'm always trying to improve it... rather than most people who deny they have any racism in themselves, and never try to improve it, since they won't admit they have a problem. \n\nit's a worldwide problem.  I'm American but a friend from India once told me that "anywhere i go, I'll catch hell" because of my dark skin.

I can only speak for the white people that I know and from that I don't feel most white people hate blacks. If they did, blacks would not be in the positions many successful blacks find themselves in today. Does racism exist - absolutely, but that is a knife which surely cuts both ways.\n\nAgain this is from my perspective but I feel the difficulty many blacks have achieving in this country can be attributed to the following reasons:\n\n1) There is a small percentage of blacks, specifically young black males, which are responsible for a disproportionate percentage of crime in the country (particularly violent crime). I have heard but can not recall the sourse that attributes 75% of murder in the country to black youths. If that is correct, that would mean that roughly 3% of the population is comitting 75% of the murders. Reduce the murder rate attributed to young blacks in half and it is still an outrageous statistic.\n\n2) An extremely high percentage ( 60+ % ) rate of unwed black females giving birth into a system which will perpetuate their children into almost certain poverty and dependence on an ever increasingly resentful society.\n\n3) A significant portion of the black culture which appears to be incapable of fully integrating into a system which has proven time and time again that its rewards are directly proportional to the effort put into achieving within the system.\n\n4) An apparent broad based inability to accept that not all actions taken against blacks are because of skin color. Sandra McKinney is yet another recent prime example. Had a white person, congressional member or not, struck a white house cop in today's climate, that person would be under the jail, not appearing on 200 media outlets for a week playing the race card. \n\nI have to admit, it was refreshing that not a single member of the Congressional Black Caucus participated in her defense in any manner.\n\n5) Hold on to your hat for this one - I feel the single biggest reason blacks aren't as succuessful as everyone would want them to be is an inabilty to move forward despite the tragedy of slavery. \n\nThere absolutely has to come a time when that era in their history is remembered but not used as a crutch or devisive tool as it clearly still is today. \n\nThere IS NOT another single society on the planet that has not taken slaves, or conversely, has not been taken as slaves primarily as a result of war. It does not make slavery right.  It just makes it attributable to being a fact of history like the 1,000's of other atrocities committed by people upon one another. It makes slavery a fact of history experienced by every single race, society, culture, and country that ever existed prior to 1900.\n\nMy ancestory is Irish. I will not get into greta detail about the well documented torturous behavior the people living on what is now as Ireland have endured since seemingly the beginning of mankind. \n\nDo I fault, the Scandinavians, the Romans, the British. Each of these groups have taken slaves, ruthlessly murdered men, women and children and looted everything of value they could manage to carry and some they couldn't like the land itself. These are all well documented facts. But most importantly to me is that they are facts which did not happen to me, my parents, or grandparents just as no black person living today can claim. \n\nI accept this is how people of different origins treated each other during that period in history. Nothing more, nothing less. Just actions in the context of world history.\n\nThere must be some point in time when blacks living in the US accept their history in a similar fashion or they will never fully allow themselves to intergrate into the society. \n\nPick your magic number. Whether its 150 years, 500 years, or 5,000 years, it will disappear into history as all other horriffic tragedies have.  Only they can decide when it disappears in their history. \n\nJust as a point of reference, between 1841 and

I don't know where your getting Mexican's treatin whites like crap, there's always the bad apples though..\nThey're are white kids that jump black kids.\nThey're are white kids that jump Mexicans.\nIt is racist when whites are called names.\nDon't know why they think whites can't fight, maybe because most our from the suburbs where they never really have to. don't know.\nWhat is this? American history X? Take a chill pill!!\n\nWhy ask a question when you clearly don't want the answer. If you feel this way look online and join some fuckin weirdo dumbass nazi group. If your really concerned about the issue, maybe stop making it worse by being a dumb ass and help solve the problem by showing that you are better that.

Yes.  You see it wherever you go in the US.  Also there are places like Hayden Lake, Idaho where white supremest have an encampment.  Though we are getting better, racism will exist as long as people teach their children to be racists.

More and more generalizations everyday! Be careful how you state questions. You'll get answers like the above and soon to come. Their so sensitive, some people.\n\nAnd, I really wish people would stop saying we sold ourselves...It's FALSE! They did it for survival because white people were going to either take one tribe or the other. They sold each other out because they were enemy tribes mostly anyway. With different customs and even languages. \n\nBy saying we sold each other out YOU are racist. You are clumping all those blacks together who were always enemies before whites came to conquer and exploit. Get YOUR facts straight!!\n\nI agree with you asker!

Forget whites.  Why do some BLACKS not admit that they are racist?  In my experience (and I apologize for generalizing) whites are the LEAST racist of all of the cultures.  It most definitely varies from region to region, but in my region (the very eclectic HOUSTON!) I do notice that white people focus less on race than the other cultures.  But it's not just true within my circle and region.  I see it in the media too.\n\nAnd please don't confuse my answer and think that I'm a white delusional racist.  Personally I haven't thought of people in terms of color since I was 10.  You are either polite or rude. Sweet or sour.  Smart or dumb.  Strong or weak.  I don't connect it to race.  Except for racism itself of course.

That is a good question.  Most of you are looking at it wrong.  Yes there are racist people all over.  He just asked about one group of people, white people.  In your opinion why are white people so racist?  In my opinion most of the racist white people I have met are that way because of history.  History teaches us that the white man or Caucasian or what ever they want to be called accomplished everything.  Even to the discover of America, but how can you discover something that was not lost.  The Indians where there to greet them.  If society stop asking about a person race it would be a step toward stopping racism.  What does the color of my skin have to do with the knowledge I have.  I don't like being called an African American, because what do you call a white person from Africa, they are African descent but now lives in America.

"especially white" so you are more tolerant of racism coming from other races? Sounds racist to me.

Yes there is a double standard. I wonder where all the white bashers went? I've seen at least two on here today. Why the double standard? Some people seem to need racism to continue, so they make sure that it does by constantly picking at white people to provoke them.

Yes, because some of the old white people are the ones that taught the younger ones that the way we treated others in this country was horse****. A lot of them are racist by greater and lesser degree by rote, but  some of them are cool. I am sorry you have yet to encounter them. Then again, I can't blame you for not wanting to put your hand in a hornets nest just to see which ones don't bite. But of course judging by group always has it's evils.
