I think it's a common misconception that the minority cannot be racist. Anybody can be. It is just less consequential when they are, as they do not have as much power to oppress as a male WASP. In America, anti-White racism is often overlooked because some people feel we have it coming for what our ancestors did, which may not be completely fair.

The terms "cracker" and "gringo" are racist, but people don't usually get offended. One insult from a non-White person to another non-White person is "coconut," meaning they're brown on the outside but white on the inside, i.e. they act White and that is bad.

I didn't suggest whites then experience racism. I am well aware of the term "cracker", "WASP" and the Black Panthers. But what this guy is talking about doesn't sound real regarding court cases.

As far as I know that system goes both ways or at least in theory it should. If a person commits a violent crime because of someone's race they are likely to be repeat offenders.

I know you're 12 but seriously come on, don't join a political debate site if you have no real opinions about the issues disscussed on the site, try to form your opinion into more then just 1 sentence like I see most of your comments are.

Does hate crime lesgislation cover white people to? Its seems to me it covers every thing else but white people. It's like if you are going to beat some one up you better make sure he's the same race as you are.

Racism in any form is bad, cause any form of racism can lead to HATE,.
Hate only destroys.

i believe racism against white people does exist in America.
it's more a series of annoying and obvious double-standards that no one is supposed to talk about.
B.E.T., the Black Music Awards, Miss Black America, all the other 'blacks-only' events. there's no way white people could get away with any of that.
if Imus says 'knappy headed hoes', he gets driven off the air and forced to apologize. if Tom joyner wants to bash white people everyday on his show, he gets to be a leader of the black community

you know .... annoying stuff like that.

The social aspect of "Anti-White Racism" being brought up in this thread is laughable. I am seeing white people throw out an indignant attitude over comments like "He's so white!" or "Coconut" in terms of being racist, as if whites are exclusively the victims of social attacks like that. However, it is still pretty socially common to hear "Blacks and other minorities utilize welfare more" and other such generalizations, even though studies have shown that whites us just as much welfare.

It comes from all sides. Whites are not exclusive victims of socially insensitive comments.

BET was created because American television didn't put out any good black entertainment - I liked the Cosby Show but it wasn't necessarily indicative of black life in America.
Black Music Awards? - never heard of that
Miss Black America - once again, our beautiful black women were being shunned by the mainstream
Never listened to the Tom Joyner show - watched his t.v. show once - hated it!

And come on you going to tell me you don't watch the soooooooooul train? lol
What about In Living Color - you know that show was funny as hell - gave Jim Carey is big break - remember Fire Marshall Bill - let me show ya somethin'!

and i don't see any of the things i mentioned as serious problems. the republic will stand.
if there's not enough black entertainment, i have no problem creating BET. everyone should have programming geared towards them. and plenty of white people watch it too. my only problem is if i bought VH1 and renamed it 'White Entertainment Televison', it wouldn't even make it on the air. same thing with the awards shows, and comedy.

i've never watched 'soul train', but i was a pretty huge 'in living color' fan. i actually did my 'homey the clown' thing for a teenager i work with the other day, and she looked at me like i was retarded. speaking of which, i think 'handi-boy' was my favorite.
