I was given the impression from everyone in the minority communities that Blacks were constantly being harassed and discriminated against continuously. This I never really found and for most of my life...

I am glad that you have found this to be true. As a white man, I have tried to make it true. I have, on occasion, observed discrimination against blacks. However, I have seen with other ethnic and religious groups as well. Honestly working toward a color blind society is the right answer; no bigotry, no racial preferences.

I have, on occasion, observed discrimination against blacks.

I discriminate against thugs, criminals, liars and people who do not respect others, regardless of what color they are.

Now, if that person is white, no one cares. But if that person is black, I am considered a racist, simply because I am white.

White people are not allowed to judge any one else based on their behavior, or we will get sued, beat up, or worse.

The problem of Jesse Jackson, government dependence and the gangster mentality is not one the white community can combat.

It is up to the black community to reclaim their values.
