White is the new black.

Most of my opinions are formed from personal experience, while i recognize that my life is a small sample of humanity as a whole..... i tend to be more susceptible to media when i see the same thing happening around me.

I understand and you may be correct for your limited area of experience but that approach does not always lead to truth in the greater world. I am not claiming that no one is racist against whites. Clearly there is plenty of racism in the world. I just question whether whites receive more of it than any other group. Also the effects of that racism is important too. One dude in a McDonalds saying he doesn't want to put money in white people's hands is a much less worrisome condition than someone in a position of power exhibiting the same kind of racism.

Few minutes later, guy sees my helmet sitting on the table, asks me what kind of bike i ride, i respond "CBR" he then looks at my helmet and says what does that mean? I respond "that i carry a gun" he replies "ok" and walks out the door.

This was just an anecdote that has nothing to do with racism right? Or did I just miss it?

This is a normal every day thing for me. Almost any time i put myself in the public, i witness racism from black people. But then when i turn on the TV, all i hear is that racism is a white thing....

Yeah, that was not part of my point.

I almost never hear racism from black people in my personal life so that probably biases me in the opposite way your life experiences bias you. Also, no matter where you get your news from, it does not represent the normal or average. It usually portrays the most extreme, distasteful, and shocking events in our society because that is what is considered newsworthy. A headline like "most black people respectful and humble" is not exactly "newsworthy" even if it is true.

You dont know what its like to be a white man in today's society that demonizes the white man. I am the villain. The fact that you are accepted by the black community bares no significance to how white people are treated. You havnt lived the "white experience".
