So it's ok to voice stereotypes if you don't agree with them?...OK...I got it.

I find all of this very interesting.

Many on this thread used the same stereotypes as you and I suppose I'll have to guess whether they believe them or not.

The funny thing is I work in a lower class environment in Nashville that is pretty mixed between blacks, whites and hispanics. It would appear around here at least that the whites are rushing as quickly as they can to absorb the very worst qualities of what passes for much of black popular culture today. Baggy pants, thuggishness, serial illegitimacy etc. I suppose that is progress to social engineers but I fail to see it as such.

I would like to as well point out that racial friction is hardly a Southern phenomenum and those who think it is are either deluded or don't get out much. Think LA riots, Miami riots, Cincinnati riots, Crowne Heights (Brooklyn) etc.

Further, while it is obvious that everyone should be granted the courtesy of Constitutional and G-d given rights, that noble gesture has now morphed into basically the concept of forced social integration for which only whites bear responsibility. I find that wrong and racist itself. Are whites held to a higher standard because they are more capable, educated, smarter???...why? Blacks frequently choose to segregate themselves socially. I went to Google and typed in all black proms and all black dorms just for starters. I rarely ever hear anyone say a peep about that.

I'd like to know more about why these students chose this course of action. From what I've gleaned, it's often because musical differences but I admit I am not so sure about that anymore. I don't think they did this simply because they are all little Klukkers in the making. Racial and hence cultural divisions are a fact of life. Respecting one another is a good thing but forcing folks to socially integrate simply for that purpose is not always going to bear the fruit folks desire. We've done that now for nearly 45 years and in areas where there are large minority populations folks are still fairly well segregated socially. Why?...you tell me. I just know that it is/we are.

This whole canard of white racism constantly thrown about here and elsewhere is truly a tiny issue and not much of an issue anymore. Black on white racism is far more prevalent...as well as the hatred many blacks hold for conservative blacks. You could take all the real White Supremacist racists in the country and I doubt it would fill one Nation of Islam rally.

I live in the South and I truly do not know one bona fide White Supremacist.
