I'm honestly getting sick of the race sht. I'll be more than up front about the fact I make race jokes, but I say them to people that know I'm kidding. Every race has good people and bad people.

Racism definitely goes both ways. Some would say that black people are more racist than white people. It sucks that that old guy is so narrowminded, but you have to remember, he probably experienced some pretty extreme racism, and that kind of thing is probably pretty hard to get over.
I'm all for reparations for former slaves. Too bad all of them, along with their former masters have been dead for a century.
by its own defination Affirmative Action is discriminatory. So how can you have a law that requires discrimination to prevent discrimination?
Another large part of race being brought into everything are the individuals that depend on racial tension for their very comfortable life styles. Groups like the NAACP and ACLU along with individuals like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Rev. Wright gain their power from making blacks think that white people are holding them down. They mostly preach to the uneducated and tell them that white people and the govt owe them something. They always seem to forget to spread the word that hard work will allow them to move out of the projects, get into great schools, and get the great jobs that are always out there for people willing to do the work.
I have less respect for a racist that has been the victim of racism and knows how ugly it can be than I do for someone that doesnt know what it really is or feels like. To me, its a true sign of ignorance to knowingly participate in something that you were yourself a victim of.

I disagree with that, I know a lot of older blacks and whites that have been programmed to think the way they do because of how they grew up and because of their life experiences. My dad grew up in Alabama where he witness a lot of things and to this day he doesn't trust white ppl. Now he is not the person to blame the white race for anything, but he does not trust white people and doesn't associate with white ppl unless at work. I brought over a white girlfriend of mine and after the b.s. he put me and my girlfriend through I decided I would never bring any female or friend around him no matter what their race, just because his behavior when it comes to race upsets me enough to get into a argument with him each time.
My cousin is half white and his white grand parents never wanted me around them when I came to visit my cousin. I am just lucky that my Mom side of the family is level headed and very accepting of all the races, and thats why I get along with everybody and I am not a bigot like my dad.

I think people's early life experiences has a lot to do with their prejudice tendencies and its really no fault of their own and I just hope it doesn't pass to the next generation

IMO there is a difference between distrust and racism.

Racism is blatantly hating a person based only on his race.
Distrust is just that, distrust. Your father may not choose to associate with white people, but you said it yourself, he doesnt blame them for everything bad in his life. He can also work with them.
A fairly similar situation happened to me as you and your friend, but escellated quite a bit more. A good friend of mine in HS was black. He was by my house and we were getting ready to meet up with a bunch of other friends and play football when he saw he forgot his spikes. On our way to the field we stopped by his house and I went in with him while he looked for them. He was down in the basement and I was in the kitchen when his dad got home from work early. My friend was coming into the kitchen as his dad did and saw me standing there. He immediately walked back out of the kitchen and grabbed a shotgun from the coat closet. He started cussing at my friend and me saying that if he ever saw another white ******* in his house he would kill him.
With your definition there are no racist in this world except for a few individuals who totally separate themselves from the other race. If you post what you said on the stormfront website, they would tell you that they live and work around other races. I am willing to bet most of them are true racists

I try to distance myself from people like those. Those are the same people who categorise races by name association. For example, instead of saying "white guy" they'll say "white boy" and if they're referring to a black person they would refer to them as a "brother". I treat everyone the same whether or not if you're the pinkest of the pink or the brownest of the brown. So if I'm talking to a group of black guys about one of my white friends, I never make it ovious. I tell them I have a homeboy who's car is fast as hell and when I actually bring them around they never expect them to be white. I was never introduced to racism so I can't racism exists around me. I know it's still around and probably won't go away anytime soon, but in my world, racism don't exist.

wow
that man goes to a black church, I have never seen any white person give a speech like that before (real passion in his message).

ok? he said absolutely nothing. We can debate for hours and both say the exact same but exchange white for black.
I love his ittle rant about Michigan. You mean to tell me that people with AP classes have a better cahnce of getting in? People that are from Michigan get more points than those out of Michigan?
Come on now. That guy is an educated man that knows how to hype people up while pointing out the obvious.
I'm amazed that is all you took from his side of his argument but then again I have never seen you objectively come to a subject you disagree with so I guess I am not too suprised.
