    What you see at work isn't a proper stance about suc a sensitive arguement and topic.
    And the whole internet question is just silly.

    There is no such thing as 'black' or 'white' racism. Racism is Racism is Racism.

    Point blank.

    If you base everything you see on TV or the Internet, I want to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge because you're more niave that I'm giving you credit for.

    So let's try this again because you've apparently missed my whole point.

    Racism isn't about a ENTIRE group of people...it's not about a MAJORITY of people, because let's face it...you haven't met the MAJORITY of people to make a valid generalization.

    If you've had some negative encounters with black people, sorry but that's life. Everyone isn't going to be nice to you, it's the way of world...but chances are it's not racism, maybe they just don't like you as a person.

    I'll give you the point that there are black people that just the 'race' card because they refuse to look at thier own shortcomings and for that, I can't help that. That's their own hang-up and the reason why they are thriving like everyone else.
    If i drive to work 20 days out of the month, on 20 of those days i'm approached by 20 black people, 5 say "hello sir, nice weather today aint it, good day" and 15 of them rob me and steal my car. If on the 21st day i see a black person approaching me at the gas station so i jump in my car and lock the doors.

    THATS NOT RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS PERCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION OF BLACK PEOPLE ARE BASED ON WHAT WE SEE. THOUGH IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SKIN COLOR, PEOPLE CANT IGNORE THE SIMPLE OBSERVATION.

    i get so tired of the "a few black people argument" ...... Nobody bases their opinion on "that one black guy they met that one time".... its an observation as a whole of all experiences with black people. I dont have to sit down and have dinner with every black person in the united states to have an opinion.

    Then that's call 'stereotyping'.

    There's a major difference.

    And I'm telling you that your perception of black people are completely screwed. But then again, that's you and who am I to tell you what to think.

    You're absolutely right, you have a right to have a opinion and in return I have the right to tell you that your opinion isn't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.

    So calm it down, Scooter.

    You have a shitty opinion/perception about black people, in the end the only person that hurts is you because you're missing out on opporunity to meet some people who can actually enrich your life.

    But then again, who am I?

    Just some black guy, right?

    I've got a ton of black friends... most of the people i spend my day with are black. Still doesnt change the racism i see. The same person i laugh and talk with on a daily basis comes out of the office the other day after being asked to stop talking on their phone during work.... ( they literally talk on their phone 4 hours out of an 8 hour day ) comes out and says to me " i wouldnt be getting in trouble if i was white "

    This is the norm for myself and most people i know, we shrug off black racism on a daily basis.... however........................... if i was to say "nigga" at the local basketball court.... id probably have to fight my way back to the car.
