I'm not sure what your native American heritage has to do with my comment.

Regardless, there is a large contingent of whites who whine about racism. Sure there are racist blacks, but they have no power. Racism without power is much less of a problem than racism with power.

You are not sure? It was a direct reply back to your poor oppressed whites comment. I was discriminated against. If you think anything racist has power, think again. It hurts more than anything. I am SICK to death of it being put in my face, period.

Constantly whining about the past is crap. I should be furious against all of you because of what happened to the Indian. So, please get over the dang black versus white mess. Get on with your lives and leave it alone. People are going to be people and there is not a dang thing YOU, ME Al, Jesse or anyone else can do about it. If people shut their pie hole about it, people will go on instead of holding grudges. No one likes to be TOLD what to do or make someone have to be something else. GET OVER IT!

Slavery, Jim Crow, and the plight of the Native American are all examples of racism with power.

No. People "shut their pie hole" about racism during the Jim Crow era, and look what that got us. It's better to expose racist cretins for the morons that they are.

No one likes to be TOLD what to do or make someone have to be something else. GET OVER IT!


Sure, but I'll still call racists morons because that's what they are.

Someone needs to pop that bubble you live in gtalum. Seriously.

But anyway, Kelly I hope for the best in your neck of the woods. I am afraid trouble is brewing on the horizon for your city.

Yes, those poor oppressed white Americans...

The sad part is that there were 2 caucasian students at a high school I graduated from that call each other racist names.

So, please get over the dang black versus white mess.

How can you get over something that is still going on? As far as I know, there's still quite a lot of racism against black people, not just in the US (especially in certain area's), but also in Europe.

'Moron' is a good description of racists, since they clearly shows that these people lack the intelligence to understand that 'different' doesn't automatically mean 'worse'. I'm glad someone said it
