Why is it socially acceptable to be racist towards white people?

That's a problem.

Another non-student of history. 🙄

We are talking about right now, not history.

@Clouds: Right now is [b]because[/b] of history, and it's about to repeat itself because people [b]don't[/b] acknowledge it.

That includes all racist people, none of it is ok, and that's what people don't get.

@Clouds: None of it is ok, that is correct. You claimed it was acceptable against whites, because that's [b]your[/b] perception. Racism is actually much more than someone calling you a name.

What is it then? Denying you things because of the color of your skin? I know all about that. Grants, gov. assistance,

@Clouds: i agree if we are serious about having justice and equality for all we need a zero tolerance no double standard policy.

That's all I'm saying.

@Clouds: I was thinking more like jobs, housing, service, because that still happens. How do you know grants and government assistance were denied because of your color ? Did they tell you ?

They didn't have to tell me.

@Clouds: Then you assumed, because plenty of whites receive govt assistance. It's different when you send someone white in for a flat and they have one for rent---right after they've told you there are no vacancies. That kind of thing still happens.

I don't see any privelleges, I work hard to eat and take care of my children, period.

@Clouds: So do I. I've never been on assistance in my life. Never even had to apply for it. I have a college degree, a 35 year career in business. Hasn't stopped people from following me around in stores or advising me that they "accept food stamps". They're the little things, the misperceptions that [b]you[/b] can take for granted.

Yeah, well I would never tell you to just accept that behavior like people on here are saying to me. I don't accept any negative behavior from people, I don't give an f-word what their skin color is. Humans are humans and that's all I see.

@Clouds: That's a good thing. I wish I could block people in real life sometimes. I've blocked about 270 people here, a large number of them having said something ugly about blacks in general or me in particular.

Ignorance is taking over.
