“...52 percent of whites think race relations are “good” in America...”
What kind of dreamworld are those 52% walking around in? I assume they live in places that are overwhelmingly white.

I’m sure that if people on this board ran into Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas they wouldn’t be locking car doors or clutching handbags.
They *might* follow them in the grocery store but only for the purpose of engaging them in conversation.
Oh, we see it.
There is a lot of racism today.
Most of it comes from blacks in power afraid of losing their grip on the moocher class:
From people like Holder, Jarrett, Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, Congressman Elijah Cummings, etc., etc.
And from organizations like the NAACP,the Congressional Black caucus, The New Black Panthers,.
Someone hung a magnet around my neck when I was born. It attracts false charges of racist intentions and attitudes to me no matter what I do. I moved my backpack off a wall so that someone climbing from below would not reach up and roll it off the wall and fall backward onto the rocks below. For this crime, my magnet attracted the accusation of racism.
I walked into a public waiting area and sat among the women and children instead of going back to ‘hang out’ with an unhappy group of men I didn’t know. For this my magnet attracted extreme charges of racism and the group in the back of the room talked loudly of my bigotry and were agitating to beat me so that the women around me, who were not white and did not have this magnet around their necks, pulled their children to “safety” and moved away from me. The only way I escaped a thorough beating was that the staff called my name NEXT which I thought would get me a beating for preferential treatment.....
I was accosted by a massively muscled enraged man who blocked me on the sidewalk, drew his clench fist back as if to punch me and glowered at me in such rage that I hung my head frozen in fear, waiting for a beating. My magnet is strong -the fact that I was white walking down a sidewalk meant I should be beaten unless I visibly cowered in his presence.
My magnet attracted false charges of racism when I didn’t want to vote for an unqualified, inexperienced presidential candidate who said he believed in the redistribution in wealth.
No matter what I do or say, I can ALWAYS be accused of having racist intentions because I have white skin. It isn’t enough that I worship a God who created it us equal and that I love my friends and relatives the same regardless of whatever their skin color is. I’ll always have a magnet around my neck as long as I am white. Ironically, many of those who voted for Obama have the same magnet and the fact that they voted for him does nothing to diminish it.
Actually even if I were Hispanic it’d still be there. I would have it if I were mixed race because Obama’s mixed race means he’s not a bigot (African American) and if I were mixed race it would mean I am a bigot (White).
People of any color are going to recognize, or at least try to recognize, the obvious sub-human scumbags of any color, just because such awareness is necessary to stay alive and unharmed.
When sub-human scumbags quit being sub-human scumbags, it's really difficult to differentiate them from regular humans.
All that is required to pretend to be human is for these cretins to start living and thinking like humans; quit committing crimes; dress like humans; walk like humans; learn to read, write, and speak like humans; get jobs and pay your bills like humans; mind your own business like humans; keep your hands off other people and their property; etc., etc.
It has nothing to do with color. Lots of white, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, and pink sub-human scumbags get the same treatment, and rightfully so.
What blacks and government see as racism is not racism at all.
Translation: Racism is defined however we say it is, and for the purpose of enriching race baiters at the expense of honest people.
And this has NOTHING to do with the fact that black youth are somethign like 27 times more likely to be committing crimes
HALF the black population has been to jail. And those are just the ones who HAVE BEEN CAUGHT
If that's what the "new Racism" is, then this guy has absolutely no point and Racism isn't a problem in America.
Mostly because most whites are not racist, they do not see racism on a day to day basis. If I call for Airports to racially profile Muslims and search them always for weapons, it is not because I hate Arabs, it is because Muslims bomb airplanes and Negros do not. When taxi drivers do not want to pick up blacks because as they state most times blacks short change them or rob them it is not because they have some inherent hatred of skin color, it is simple observation in action.
When I am disrespected because my skin is white by blacks, and it happens quite often, I don’t rush down to the government offices to get a welfare check cause the Blacks are keeping me down. But I can prove they are, just look at discrimination laws, called diversity laws. Just work harder to overcome it like I and everybody else.
It is hard to steer a parked car.
Muslims don’t seem to get it either, but if Muslims stopped cutting the heads off of people they don’t agree with, we wouldn’t be trying to avoid you.
If it was a mistake for Zimmerman to leave his vehicle, why wouldn’t same advice hold for the cabbie? Or the bouncer on ‘Black night’?
The implication that approaching an a black man at night dressed a certain way is dangerous. Unfortunately, the empirical evidence bears that out.
Meanwhile, I have no fear of two white guys on bicycles wearing white, short sleeved shirts.
Rattlesnakes have rattles, and we profile them on that bases. Why are blacks surprised? The snakes prefer to be left alone, whither the black?
Pull your pants up turn your hat forward and quitcherbitchin
Mr. Boykin your race card has expired. There is no replacement available.
No mention of the fact that blacks actually are more likely to steal and kill.
Frankly, if you look for something enough, you’re guaranteed to find it.
I don’t know if this has ever been brought up before. Maybe it has.
You want to see racism? Watch *any* college basketball game and keep watching after the game ends and the two teams walk past each other for the obligatory “handshake”.
Watch how the black players do a “manbrace” (or whatever the term is - it starts out with a handshake and then ends up into a semi-hug) but can’t get away from the white players fast enough.
If you watch enough basketball you’ll see a clear pattern.
I can't help but notice that most of the super-rich black athletes and performers in America rarely live anywhere near the 'mean streets' they pretend they love so much. Most live in huge, gaudy mansions far from any ghetto. Still, they pretend they too are 'victims' of white racism, all the while living like the multimillionaires they are in the land that made their wealth possible because millions of white people paid to buy their CDs, watch their movies or TV show or watch them play a sport.
Like most on FR, I'm about fed up with the whining from too many black Americans about slavery that ended 150 years ago. They refuse to take responsibility for their own bad choices in life while blaming the consequences of those choices on some imagined systemic bias in 'white' society. Its long since past time for whites to stop cowering in the face of being called a 'racist' simply for telling blacks the truth. Let's start with the clownish 'Reverend' Al Sharpton.
I do not believe that Blacks care very much that Trayvon Martin died. After all, they seem to ignore more black on black violent deaths every day. I think what Blacks care about is that some “white” guy had the temerity and the means to defend himself from a beat down.
That is really what this is about, cow white people so that the black hoodlums can rob, steal and kill more of them with impunity. The Obama administration panders to this approach, because it buys black votes, just like Obama phones.
