Do you think there are topics blacks dont like being discussed around white?

Yes. But blacks want to join any white organization, they do not want to be discriminated against. How many whites want to join black organizations? Blacks have Black entertainment  channel, BET, Miss Black America, Black Emmy Awards, can you imagine if white people had White Entertainment Channel, Miss White America or the White Emmy Awards?  Why white people would called racist. But who is really the racist?

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

You do know that when you say "I'm not a racist, I have black friends" it makes people a tad suspicious.\n\nAnymoo, as an African American I must say...\n\nBoth are offensive and idiotic. I wish all those words would not be used anymore. News flash, it isn't cool.

I don't 'hate' black people.\n\nBut I could say that I dis-like the priorities and behaviors that are stereo-typical (falsely or otherwise) of blacks.\n\nGhetto rap, bum dressing, lower work ethic, style over and above substance, poor english skills, blaming others, etc.

I think Black and Whites are both racist. They both victimize themselves when it is not even neccesary. BLack people are always talking about how the white man does this and that to them. Even though Im Black, That stuff still gets annoying hearing it all the time. White people put the balck people down all the time and put labels on them. I think thatn if people cant grow up and forgive the past, then Black nor White people are never going to evolve as a whole. And thats REAL...

It is ridiculous the way african americans always have to try and make the white caucasions look as if they are being prejudice. Life is not a racial issue and should not be looked at that way. Everyone has has their own inner beauty and should let that overide any feelings of hate and or prejudice. I sometimes wonder if the african americans are more prejudice than the caucasions that surround them.

People make a topic taboo to me, not the topic by itself.

RUBBISH!\nJEALOUS OVER WHAT MAY I ASK?\nWhile whites do thave their pride, blacks have their pride also. Both races have earn a lot of achievements, so there is nothing of this sort.

I'm with you on this one.\nPeople who say you're white-washed for being yourself have a pretty poor idea of how blacks are supposed to behave.\nIgnore them.

We do the same as blacks tell people they should not be sensitive, or I'm just joking when it comes to racism or cultural situations.\n\n/doc

First not all African Americans are offended when he/she is called black. Some people are sensitive and some people are not. Realizing that some people have a problem with that shouldn't be the first thing that is noticeable. There are some Caucasians that have a problem being called White Breed. Everyone has there reasons and no matter what that's the way some people are. \nThe biggest question is will racisim every be concored? That's a never ending thing because yet again everyone thinks different, the thing about that is don't take it so personal.

You can say anything about white people, no matter how offensive it is and get away with it.  I find it offensive, just look at the first answer you got from that black guy.  All white people rat each other out and blacks and asians don't?  That's news to me, mate.  What nonsense.

I'm white and I agree. It's just like the black college funds, colleges, television etc... Lord forbid there be a white college fund or white college or a white tv station. I agree with your boyfriend that because of the history looooooooooong ago it puts a damper on things now. But we shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of others. I am proud to be white and I am proud to be an American and I am pround to be from Oklahoma. Shouldn't I be allowed to flaunt it?  And it's also ok for other races to make fun of us in their comic gigs or whatever and say the work "Cracker" referring to us but we aren't allowed to say the word "Nigger" referring to them. I don't think either word should be used. I don't think any word like that  should be used to describe anyone. But I can't say I am upset about the slaves being brought over here. I am glad their offsprings are here. They are my friends. If it weren't for the slaves being brought over we may not have some of the great people we do have. I am disappointed in what happened to alot of them though. I feel for them. Though thank God that thinking is different now.\n\nOMGOsh!!!!!!!!!! \nI wrote out that so horrible "N" word to make a point and it got substituted with symbles but the word CRACKER is still there. See my point people. If we are supposed to be equal lets be equal.

I agree with you somewhat....its confusing of how white people should address them: black, colored or african american? All the political correctness is really confusing.

I know I see this everywhere. Blacks can make racist comments on whites and not be considered racist, but if some white kid says something to a black kid, it would be considered racist. It's horrible. I see this often on Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out.

I am a white woman in a relationship with a black man and we have talked about race many times before. Its not only whites that act like that. Alot of different races black, white, spanish, all races have some bad seeds. Narrow minded people like to put blacks in their own catagory when it comes to stuff like this but really think about it, all races have their own thing. Black people dont like white people and vice versa. Hate will always exist, its just up to you if you recognize it. Me personally, I dont feel that it is just one race doing harm, its all the people of the world coming together in hate that makes its stay. Black people are beautiful to me as all other races. If you look at a person and see their race before you see a person then you are probably one of the people I am talking about.  If you wanna talk about people living in the ghetto why dont you go to the ghetto and see how i really is not having food to eat or being a child yourself having to take care of siblings because your parents split, or having to share a bed with 2 other people, its hard and alot of these people black white or mexican go thru it everyday. Like I said people will always judge no matter what, and others answering this have said blacks dominate sports, well good observation because they just about do, so you mean to tell me that if a team is predominatley black you no longer like the sport? If you answer yes then you were never a fan.I could go back and forth with this all day so I guess its no point because ignorance will never die and people will always throw the race card out there when they get a chance.

I could dictate paragraphs on racism, as a topic - but you simply asked if it was "Ok for any race to hate any other race". \n\nI will give you a simple answer.  No.  It isn't "Ok".  Knowing that doesn't change anything.  \n\nI am a woman of a medium "pigment" (to quote a previous answerer) and this I know - I have no control over how someone acts, speaks or conducts themselves in my presence or toward me specifically.  \n\nThe only thing I can control is how I choose to respond.
