Where to begin??
First off, neicy81...while I am sure you have good intentions, your arguments are sort of short-sighted and repetitive. You are not trying to hear anyone else because you have already made up your mind. Perhaps if you give thought to each response you can cater your own accordingly. I hear what you are sayig, and based on my own definition of racism, I don't believe that blacks can be racist either. But if you keep posting like you are, these folks are gonna really believe otherwise.
I think that snuggles did a great job of breaking down the disparity between the white definition of racism and the black definition.
Whoever posted that whites are comfortable with taking responsibility for the past...wow. That is a little naive, if you ask me. If that was the case, there might be a little more than a subsection of out history books devoted to the initial ravaging of Indigenous Americans as well as slavery. Whoever said history books would be much shorter might have been away from school for a while.
Racism? Each definition is simply a function of each person's life experiences. ktsnake hit the nail on the head.
I think that it doesn't matter how many times a day/week/month/year, this topic is brought to the surface. Dialogue is ALWAYS healthy, and you never know who is a little more enlightened by these discussions.
As for the girls, hey, this argument shoud be about the parameters of free speech, not racism.
