#1 im white, and ive grown up in a highly diverse area. there is VERY LITTLE racism against white people, and the small amount there is, is usually because of the racism & hatred white people have shown non-whites, reciprical hatred( i hate you becuase you hate me). to even bring up racism against white people is almost rediculous. next time someone says something like that to you, think about why, and try to be compassionate to the pain she/he is feeling.....peace

So what if there is a larger percent of African-Americans in jail that Caucasians. Does that tell you that African-Americans are more likely to be crimals? No, it tells you they are more likely to be criminally-incarcerated.

That was my point just so you all know people were saying that I shouldnt think that just because there are more blacks on drug charges they do more crimes they just get arrested more was my POINT!

Yep, you got us MarineL6. Wait, it's not Marine16, it's an imposter. Whoever doing this is prety stupid. It's a post board. There's no reason to do stupid crap like that. Get a life.

Marine16,
Just because the race is statistically criminally charged more should not be the way to decide how to punish an individual just because of their race. Those who should get one strikes, are those who have been criminally chared before and have been warned, no matter what race. Tell me something.Do you have any friends that are minorities in this country? If you don't why is that?

Also on the whole Britney and Eve thing I think it's almost prejudice towards blacks that its all right for someone black to dress trashy but it's not for a white person.

---

i hope i don't offend anyone by this next comment, but of COURSE it's not ok for white people to dress trashily. that's why society has created those two offensive terms "white trash" and "trailer trash." i don't use either of those terms on a day-to-day basis, but i think what you said was not only a stereotype, but wrong. i mean, haven't you ever stayed home from school sick and seen jenny jones?? for every black person that's up there looking like a ho, there's at least one white person there too.
and you're right, there were some white people that thought slavery was wrong, but even the majority of them did not see african-americans as "equals." which is why up until the Civil Rights Movement, black people were still oppressed.
i think you just stereotype and generalize way too much for me, especially when you're not entirely correct.

Blacks and other minorities are statistically more criminally inclined than whites, you jackals ! They should be given only one strike because of this and save time and effort of the fine police force and help the upstanding law abiding community.

The thing is, it is the blacks and pakis in the town that are committing the crime.

i assume by "pakis" you mean pakistanis. it's all the blacks and pakistanis that are committing the crimes?? 48% of those currently on deathrow in the u.s. are white. 42% are black. i guess in this case, minorities are still "minorities."
on the site where i got this information there is a quiz that according to police and fbi profiles+ of serial killers, will determine your likelihood of becoming [a serial killer]. the first question on this test is "what is your gender?" the second is "are you caucasian?" nuff said

Also, the asylum claiming Kosovans are mugging the white citizen. I take action and have racist views because i see this in my town, happening to people i know, yet the police won't do anything, because they are scared of being accused of being racist. Then, if it is taken through the legal system, the jews in the form of lawyers are creaming the profits.... we in the National Front are here to stamp this out!

---

someone's mugging the "white citizen??" oh the horror! and of course we know it's that little negro guy over there, right?? or that kosovan. look at his eyebrows!!! don't those men just spell out the word "criminal??" what kind of racist **** is that, Righteous?? i bet it's the same trash spewing out of your mouth every day in doncaster. and you're taking action?? i wonder what kind?? would you mind telling us, or are you, too, afraid of being accused of racism?? and what was that crack about jewish people?? why are you trying to oppress people that are only trying to succeed and live as happy life??
and then at the end of you lovely post you use hitler's slogan, hitler the man who almost completely annihilated your country, and killed thousands upon thousands of britains.

PEOPLE STOP IT!!!!!!!!! As a 14 year old African-american inner city youth I feel offended by what some of yu have said ESPCIALLY YOU RIGHTEOUS!!!!! INSTEAD OF FOCUSING CRIME ON BLACKS AND PAKIS TRY TO FOCUS ON CRIMES ALTOGETHER. DON'T CATORGORIZE BY RACE!!!!!!!!!!! AND WHAT YOU HAVE SAID IS LET ME EMPHASIZE "IS" RACIST!!!!!! Yes, I agree statistics show that there are more black people in jail than there are white.But that does not mean blacks commit more crimes. It just mean they are criminally charged more.

Racism is not just a black and white thing. IT'S A WORLD THING. PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THERE ARE OTHER RACISM OF DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES EVEN THOUGH BLACK AND WHITE IS THE MOST POPULAR!!!!!! I am not a racist. I LOVE to be around people of different races and cultures. I find them fascinating.

I think racism is most popular in our elders. Probably because they have been exposed to more of it unlike the SORT Of diverse life we live in now.

People catergorize black people as ignorant and ghetto because that is mostly what is exposed to the world.How many movies have you seen with middle or high class blacks ot the ratio of poor blacks? It's not fair! But believe meI'm far from ignorant and ghetto. I graduated as valedictorian from a catholic school,got voted "most studious", "most sophisticated",and"most likely to succeed".I also have dreams of attending Harvard.(Please understand I'm not bragging,just trying to make a point)
Peace 2 All

There is racism on every side. some whites don't like blacks some blacks don't like whites. why limit it to black and white. why is everything black and white. Now that's annoying! some whites don't like asians, mexicans, orangeians whatever. and vice versa over and over with the different races. It doesn't matter who gets discriminated against. Its called ignorance and that we need to stop. AND PLEASE PPL OUT THERE DON'T THINK ALL BLACK PPL ARE ONE WAY BECASUE OF A FEW IGNORANT PPL THAT SHARE THE SAME SKIN COLOR! well ill stop ranting thats all i gotta say. thanx Love you all!

just go to NYC in harlem if you don't believe me, K? K.
Whites aren't all stuck on themselves and blacks arent' all nice and humble. Its changed. Blacks can be just as racist as whites sometimes when your in the ghetto especially.

I have said this before and it seems like no one is listening to me!

its unethical to say that a whole comunity is rasict based on one incident with one person.

there is bond to be a prejeduce self loving hypocrit everywhere you go, unfortunatly you met up with a girl who was!

It is true,there is racism against whites.But....
In my opinion,Brittney Spears is worse,more lil' kids look up to her than Eve.....and she dresses much worse.

^^;'

I wasnt saying that blacks were more likely to be criminals but the law was biased at getting blacks in jail!!!!!! i am not saying they are criminals!!!!! I was saying the reason they were their on drug charges was because the drugs they were presumed to use had a manditory drug charge but that hte drugs whites were presumed to used dont!!!

This is a scary topic. I for 1 wouldn't call my self a racist. But I'm definatly biased in some cases. I jut scame back from atrip to conneticut, my class stayed at a dorm that was predominatly white. I got no problem w/ my lighter, pale skinned brothers and sisters,but smetimes I wasn't comfortable.
Yup Racism is a problem, there are different stadards that we judge people by, Mspiral was right whaen ???he/she??? said that In America, some Caucasians think African-Americans are 'ghetto' and criminal. Some African'Americans think Caucasian are upperclass, oppresive, and ignorant. THat was the first thing I thought when I saw all those white people. and I thought they'd look at me like I wantedto steal something (some of te did btw.) I didn't let that stop me though. I met many poeple and made aot of friends, (shout out 2 mike from illinois)lol.
But when it comes don o things, like w/ Brittney spears and Eve, I think it's crzy. When B.S started, she was all school girl and what not then she changed all ofa sudden. I think it was a bad comparrison, cause look at lil kim. Every1 thinks she's a hoe.
2 be truthful, I have little clue what I'm really talking about. and juts talking 4 the fun of it. if U didn't notice

MY THOUYGHTS:
There is racism in the world. People judge others and make assumptions based on the color of their skin. Racism is a two way street. In America, some Caucasians think African-Americans are 'ghetto' and criminal. Some African'Americans think Caucasian are upperclass, oppresive, and ignorant. It works both ways. I beleive racism has improved over the past decades and centuries, but it is still an issue, and will always be. I think that the key to change lies in our children of the future generation. We need to stop thinking in terms of race. When I look at someone, I try not to think "That is a hispanic." I try to think "That is a person who is female, 5'4, brown eyes, and curly dark hair." It is hard and we cannot control our initial thoughts, but I beleive we (as a whole people) can train ourselves and each other to think of race only as a genetic and herditary factor, like eyecolor. I will probably not be alive to see this transgression, but I would like to beleive I am doing my part to help start it.
So while it is important to acknowledge that racism is still prevelant, even in the US (which is hard for some people to accept,) I beleive changing the way you look at people will help end this prejudice. I know I still do it myself. If I am walking on a road and I see a Hispanic, or African-American, (or adult middle-aged male for that matter) I can become nervous. I do not get these feelings with Caucasian females. It is the culture I have been raised in, and the way I see them. So I have to look at my initial thought, and tell myself, "No, it shouldn't matter what the person is, I should really be paying attension to body language, or visable weapons.)
Last Point- I don't go by statistics. So what if there is a larger percent of African-Americans in jail that Caucasians. Does that tell you that African-Americans are more likely to be crimals? No, it tells you they are more likely to be criminally-incarcerated. Take into consideration those that are wrongfully jailed, and all those who have not been caught. I personally think statistics like these are pointless and only serve the purpose of distinguishing between race. That is my opinion.

I don't see why some black people think that because some white people treated their ancestors badly that all white people are bad. I mean even though some white people did horrible things like put blacks into slavery there were a number of white people who were against it from the beginning and tried to help free slaves. Now I'm not saying that all black people think like that I'm just talking about the ones that do. Also on the whole Britney and Eve thing I think it's almost prejudice towards blacks that its all right for someone black to dress trashy but it's not for a white person.

Lilmamanumba1 before you voice your thoughts you should learn to spell. You're critizing others when you can't even spell compARE. It's common that people misspell names especially a common name like Britney. And to add the whole reason why we are having this discussion is because we all have different views on race discrimination.

Even though I'm caucasin, I can understand how African-Americans, Hispanics, and other minorites might feel. Their ancestors went through a lot of hardships, and I think I would probably have a bit of a grudge against people too if people from my family were treated badly. However, sometimes I do feel like it's taken a little too far. I believe everyone should have equal rights, but sometimes some extreme minority leaders will start this big campaign claiming that they don't have equal rights. When a police officer up here in Washington shot an African-American man, immediately there were protests that he was killed just for his race. They didn't even get the facts, and I feel sorry for the police officer. What made it worse, was that the people who saw the situation happen lied about the African-American man having a gun, so when it shows up on the news that 1 or 2 African-Americans were lying to try to save someone's reputation, it makes all African-Americans look bad.
Extremists from ethnic groups and even religions can give a certain group of people or religion a bad reputation, even if it's just ONE person causing the problem.
It's really sad, and part of it has to do with the media emphazing things and then people making poor judgments of a group of people without really getting to know them first. I know plenty of minorities who are really good people, and I have seen them get treated unfairly because they get "classified" as having a certain attitude or doing something bad even though they haven't.
I have been discriminated, myself, by minorities. And again, it was because someone told someone something and they told someone and they told someone and it got so twisted that it was eventually told to someone who acts before getting the facts and they got all up in my face and started threatening me before I even got to explain myself.
We need to stop the racists jokes ON BOTH SIDES, and we need to start judging people individually, instead of by some extremists from their ethnic or religious group!!!

who is discriminated against. its just that they are acknowledging there is discrimination against whites too. Some people (I am not saying that it happens often just that it does) who are a monority and feel bitter about how they are treated and take it out on other people. Well its not just minorities anyone who feels that they have been skrewed over feels at adisadvantage and they feel they have the right to act rudely adn sometimes I think people have the right to. But the difference of waht is good or bad, is that if someone personally acts like an idiot to you then you no you dont have to be nice to them, but if someone acts rude to you and you take it out on other people (maybe people that look or act like that person) that is wrong and you are discriminating against people because of their looks or the way they act. Many people like to say well whites dont knwo what discriination is, or they have never really expirienced anything bad but I beg to differ. My older cousins moved to florida and their teachers and fellow students were more than rude and most were minorities. (as in when my cousin joined the basketball team a few black girls would spit on her all teh time or push her around). I have talked to people who think this is okay because they have had to deal with it too in reverse.
