Don't worry about it chicken!! I think they just meant that it is the nature of the human mind to imagine something close to 'themself' when visualising something in their imaginiation.

So someone says a man, you visualise a white man if your white.
Someone says woman, you visualise someone with features similar to your own because it is what your mind knows.

Tia you are right, when friends tell a story and are talking about whites, they don't mention it. But when they are talking about AA they mention that fact. It shouldn't make any difference and you can beat from now on, I will do my best not to do that anymore. If my friends do it, I will ask what difference their color has to do with the story.

also something someone said to me was imagine this:-
theres a man with a newspaper, he walks down a street sits down on a bench and starts reading his newspaper
What colour is this man honestly?

I'd think he's white for racist reasons that I can't say because I'm white.

Tia, if this is what you meant then I now understand what you were saying, thank you barbiemom for clarifying. And your right Tia about the way different people tell a story and the way discriptions are explained .

Its hypocritical cause some people think that if a person of another race makes fun of another person of a differnt race the person takes it very seriosly and has nothing else to say than you races person and start yelling at you so if its possible I would try to avoid racis comments, thats what I do at school i might say some racis things to my friends joking around and they know that I'm joking.

Bulls**t, we get it bad just as bad as you would. The only difference is that whites tend not to say out loud that it's racism even if they're thinking it.

Do you think that sometimes it can be easy to mistake a person as being racist when perhaps they just don't like you?

I agree the original question is kinda dumb and been an excuse for people to push a divide further apart when we work so hard to close the divide.

Its easy for me to assume that because a black or asian person doesnt like me immediately its because i am white. Its easier to assume that than think that perhaps there is something wrong with my social skills.

Its an unspoken fact that true rascists are in the minority but when you find them, black people are more rascist than white and they know that they can get away with it.
Think about the last time you heard about a white person crying racsism???
Doesn't happen does it!!
Pretty glad myself that racsist are in the minorty! The worlds crap enough with all its war mongers without having to deal with even more!!

Um that's really not fair. For your information it is very rare for a black person to be a true racist. I say that because the definition of racist is to believe that another race is inferior in every way to you based on how they look. You don't see many black people going " Whites are inferior. They should go back to where they came from because everything they do is lesser than us. A Rat is smarter than a white person. They are not even human". No you don't see many black people doing that because they can't afford to think like that. They can't afford to have thoughts that all whites are inferior because in history whites have always put them second. When a black feels hatred towards a white the term is " Prejudice". Blacks really call whites " Cracker ass" because they feel that whites look down to them which is a lot of times still true. I myself don't think all whites are racist because that would be ignorant. Though there are a bunch of racist whites out there and I laugh to myself every time someone tries to claim that whites are hardly Racist anymore. There are far more racist whites than there are blacks. Again Prejudice and Racist are two different words. When some whites hold ignorant towards blacks they literally talk about them like they are a different species. I don't know where you get your facts but I know that there are a lot of white people that show their racism on the internet. Some show it in public but a vast majority of the punks that tell blacks to go back to Africa and call them apes use the internet because they wouldn't dare have a rep as a racist in real life. So really there are a lot of strong racist feelings in whites and there are a lot of strong prejudice in blacks. The only reason blacks keep messing with white people is because whites have a huge rep of being racist. Though I think it is wrong that they label all whites as racist you still can't try to say that their actions make their race more racist than white. There are a lot of incidents where whites are racist " Youtube". So I don't know what you are talking about.

Both "Cracker" and " Nigger" are both words that should never be used. the reason why " Nigger" or "Negro" is more offensive is because it actually has more of a history to it. Blacks would and should be more offended by the word "Nigger" then a white person should be offended by the word " Cracker" because when you call a black person a "Nigger" you are basically supporting the fact that they were slaves. Unless you use it in that stupid hip way that means " Homie" but if you do it as an insult it will be more offensive than the word " Cracker". Again I still think both are wrong words to use but I am just pointing out which is more offensive.

Also Most racism towards Minorities like Blacks and Hispanics come from white people so your little thing on " Racism comes from minority" is far fetched.

I really think we all need to become equal because we are all the human race. Honestly if a black person was an animal and not a human being, then I must be a pretty cool animal to be able to talk,drive,do well in school and play sports

Seriously though we were all put on this Earth and nothing is going to remove us so we might as well work together and stop pretending that we are all a different species. Black + White + Asian + Latin + Portuguese + Indian + etc. = Human race.
