Didn't Martin Luther King give up his life to prevent things like this happening? I don't think he wanted his death to be ignored in this way, he fought for integration not segregation.

In response to you as a person altogether and no this does not answer this particular question but I felt I had to say something.\n\nI am so sick of your comments and questions. Why don't you just shut up! And quit crying about being white Christian woman. You are so hard done by, did you ever think that maybe you as an individual are just miserable. I find it hard to believe that you actually have friends of different ethnic origins. You must be a right pain in the butt to hang around with.\nYou are so eager to tell us British what we should think and do, mind your own business! Do you know anything about Britain at all or do you just go by what you are told in the newspapers and on TV. You should look in your own back garden before you start other people how to live.

Jeez, calm the hell down. I can't believe that you are so sensitive to things. Look, I agree there are some things on here that are racist and some blatantly racist. But the easiest thing to do is either go to a different category, or report the questioner. Do not bring Iraq into this. This is different ok. This ethnic diversity in this country is unlike any other in the world. The largest human experiment referred to as a melting pot is the first and only of its kind in human history. In the past, when a race first meets another race, they want to kill them, conquer them, and this makes them feel superior. I realize there are exceptions to this but the majority of the time this is the truth. So its human nature to do this. Its just like if there is a huge room full of people of all races with the lights off, you will talk to and be with whoever is next to you but once the lights go on, all races will eventually segregate on their own over time. This is human nature. But what can be done is tolerate those who are unlike yourself. This is how we have grown as a nation and why we are so strong today. Most other countries have one major minority group. The US has every minority, so if someone tells you or I that they aren’t as racist in Japan or France, that’s because they aren’t in a melting pot society where they are forced to deal with human instincts regarding other races on a daily basis and create biases and stereotypes. So in reality, this country is one of the least racist because the majority of society here has learned tolerance. I am white, and I have been racially discriminated against and profiled. I live in an area where if you are white, you are either lost, or rich and lost. So I get f-ed with all the time. But I have thick skin. You sir do not. I am sad to see that someone who has a genuine ability to convey their feelings in a grammatical and tactful way is going to throw that away because of some a-holes on computers somewhere. A person’s input in these answer columns are very important to some people and I myself have felt like this is the only place to have someone respond to a problem I have. Has anyone benefited from your input in a crisis of their own? When someone chooses you as a best answer, do you feel like you have helped someone? Well I hope you reconsider and just keep helping those you can. If not, fare thee well. I hope the world benefits from you another way.

It's only fair because minorities are the majority. I believe u are the only one that's offended that's if u are a middle-class white person. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

not speakin on behalf of all white people, but time and time again you have those few that have this delusional idea that society always rewards those for their hard efforts!! If that were the case, why are "developmental housing" projects continually being constructed in urban areas? key word of the day: gentrification. if u need a defintion...websters will suffice. by the way, i am an educated black woman and feel as though blacks and other minorities do try to "bite the hand that feeds us" and abuse the advantages and priviliges which have been afforded us. sometimes minorities like to harp on the fact that the world is in a downward spiral (ok..we might be close to there) and there is no hope. maybe those with fairer skin just might have a different opinion. is the glass half empty or half full?\n\n\n\nP.S.\nWOW!! MAYBE BUSH WOULD BE A GOOD PRESIDENT IF HE WERE MORE TRUTHFUL ABOUT HIS INTENTIONS AND COULD SPEAK IN WHOLE SENTENCES. IF THE INFO IS CLASSIFIED..THEN SAY IT'S CLASSIFIED DAMMIT!!! DON'T BULLSHIT AROUND THE QUESTION!! BE A MAN AND SAY SUMTHIN AND MEAN IT WITHOUT REGARD! GROW A BACKBONE! TO COMPARE BUSH TO JFK IS LIKE COMPARING LARRY FLINT TO THE DALAI LAMA!! GOD..ARE U PSYCHOTIC????

They need to get rid of their ghettos and shanty towns.  The city is still very segregated.  Those problems could be helped by careful town planning.

so only black people are allowed on BET huh?  and, naturally, you see nothing wrong with that do you?  ever hear of "segregation is inherently unequal?" your grandaddy ever tell you that- he probably did, but you were too caught up in your MTV world to ever really understand the words huh?  Your a disgrace to your own people...i/m italian and i know more about african american history than you!- that must make your folks proud!  while i have your attention, being an athlete or rapper is not the only way to become successful...go to school and stop worrying about DJs on BET

ANOTHER general statement about an ENTIRE GROUP of people, all of which you cannot know personally! I DO NOT make such statments about anyone else's group, so PLEASE STOP making them about groups that include me! Isn't this kind of stereotyping doing just as much injustice to me as SOME Christians' impositions do to you?

wow...a racist minority. how interesting.

first off, lets dispell the racism notion.Mexican is NOT a race, it's a nationality. If your black,white,or chinese and your born in mexico your a mexican! Now heres the real deal its called overcrowding and if u don't know how it works think about this. Get a male and female rabbitt, provide everything they need to thrive and call me in a year or two. Guess what? you HAVE TO kill'em,or get'em fixed or yor overran with rabbitts you CAN'T AFFORD!they destroyed their country and this ones next people,they have taken ALL blue-collar jobs and by under-cutting their asking wage and sheer weight of numbers have ruined what until recently was a decent paying field.I know'em, I speak their language,hell,i was married to one, they will rent a 1 bdroom apt and go 10 deep, splitting the rent 10 ways, they dont pay taxes or use their real names and worst of all they send their money home to mexico and after they've sucked up all they can over here they go back home.AND DO NOT cry to me about their only trying to make a living for their family! BULL#@*T!They  being catholic dont use birth control and the average mexican has 7-10 brothers and sisters. What type of idiot lives in acardboard box and keeps knockin his wife up???? if you cant support yourself QUIT HAVING BABIES!!!

Unfortunatly yes, and from what I understand it is worse in some areas then others. I was rasied to accept everyone and I am still shocked when I meet people who make racist comments, like my roommate in college was smart but remained a racist because her dad was... It's sad. My aunt is white and married to a black guy, they have a restraunt in North Carolina and due to the racism down there she is struggling with her business. Shes in a black community that doesn't like that shes married to a balck guy. So it goes both ways.  I say, we should all love one another! Discriminate based on actions not race! But hey, not everyone is me...

Yes, racism exists. But what seems to be more pervasive is the startling lack of education here. Perhaps you should utilize your spellchecker once in a while, or no one will be able to figure out what you're asking!

Yes, minorities get special treatment. Just like you'd be racist if you decided to start a United White College Fund. It is complete garbage. If it is racist to go one way, it is racist to go the other. Eliminatae race from the equation entirely and just have a United People College Fund!!!!!!!!
