[/qb][/QUOTE]You are clearly a "Hot House" type of person...insulated from reality.
I regularly experience black on white racism at my job. [/QB][/QUOTE]
Oh so you have a job, but the black man is keeping you down? Reality is that you have the OPPORTUNITY to do just about anything you like, that's the difference. Not to lump you in this categorization but it's usually those who are kept down by the same forces that effect black america that are so visceral against them. For instance, the poor whites in the south are some of the most virulent racists and supporters of the republican party. And their ignorance is exploited for electoral gain, when they vote for politicians that inact policies that ensure their continued impoverishment and steady stream of fodder for war. They have so much more in common with the blacks they detest, but will shortsightedly continue on a road to be an occupant of a body bag coming back from Iraq. I'm veering across subjects here, but the point is your reality is pretty much in your own hands, minority, women, and few choice groups don't have that luxery so I'm sorry about the racism you are apparently experiencing but I don't think it meets the threshold to where I'll feel sorry for you.
