    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".







    Note: exaggerated sarcasm.
