I have delibertly stayed away from such threads on race for a while as they usually accomplish nothing but people making posts that are then called racist and then getting defensive and proclaiming loudly they are not racist.Again I say this and it comes from life experience and applies therefor only applies to the US.IMO there are two kinds of people in america ,those who have incorporated to some degree the overwhelming message that is still prevelant but obviously progress has been made that white is superior and miracles (which I have never met yet).To say that there is any sort of racism by any other group than whites in america which has any power to discriminate against others like the whitle majority can and has is the first clue to me of someone in denial of the truth.
People here debate blacks using the N word.The truth is many (most) blacks have incorporated the same white supremicist message whites have with the same result that they are racist against themselves.Things like the black-white doll test used on children demonstrate this,minority children perceive the white doll is good and have a negative attitute about the black doll.That is truly a sad thing,so young and feeling your race is a negative.All of us should feel their pain, all of us should do our utmost to create a world where that is not the case and that no one would use such a word as the N word.It's not about one race feeling gulity like some like to say it's about only one really has and has had the power to change the racial dynamic and thats the white majority.As I said progress has been made but we are far from being to a place where racism in favor of the white majority is still not prevelant.
My :2 cents:
