Why is the answer to a story on white racism towards blacks alway an example of black racism towards whites. I knew when I read this post that eventually it would lean that way and it did. I would really just love to know when all humans could just do as MLK spoke of and judge people by the content of their character. Whether black, white, Asian or Hispanic....we should just give it a rest.

But by your very comments you indicate you don’t understand King. I explain this in my other post to you. As soon as you say x racial achievements MUST be noticed not because the achievement itself demands recognition, but because it was accomplished by a particular race, you demean both the race and the achievement. “Well, such and such was invented by a black man.” Oh, really? So, the invention of such and such wasn’t significant enough to be elevated on its own? Again, that is the very definition of racism.
