Racism on the web - lets shoot this guy some comments....
Acting White: Black Racism, White Racism

To quote entertainer Chris Rock, ‘it’s not right, but I understand it’. On the heels of the recent senseless high-media profile murders of whites by black men in North Carolina and Alabama, and with the overwhelming backdrop of black men murdering their own in genocide-like numbers (57 so far this year in the Field Negro’s ‘Killadelphia’), it is time to openly revise our notions of racism – what we expect and what is acceptable.

...

Now let’s jump over to today’s ‘real’ world. Any American who is not afraid of black men on some level is simply not thinking straight. Also, remember that fear is an emotional response, so do not think about it too much, it is what it is. I’m afraid, and I AM a tall-ass black man, and one who studied the martial arts for fun. I am afraid for me, my family, my friends, my acquaintances, and lastly for anyone, male or female, white, black or green, who might statistically find themselves in the presence of a black male at the ‘wrong place and wrong time’....

So when people make distinctions about blacks and crime, especially violent crime and murder, I no longer immediately jump onto the offensive. Yes, these comments sound racist to me, and piss me off if I think about them too much. But the real question is if the behavior behind them resembles me in it's prudence, and too often it does. I avoid unfamiliar gatherings of black males. I check out how black men present themselves and avoid those that feel dangerous. I also judge black men by their dress and manner, especially those wearing inmate clothing, all in an attempt to keep my life. This method is far from perfect, but it’s all I have, so I use it. If this profiling makes me racist in some way, and I believe it does, so be it. Better to err on the side of staying alive.

I looked at his stats (he has charts there), hopefully he will look at this one:
White presidents have gotten us into more wars than any other race. Same with congress. White people in power have caused more harm to the environment and death by their products and by-products than any other race.

Avoid us white men, because some of us are evil and you want to stay safe don't you?

Before anyone bitches at me for posting from this guy's blog my theory on it is this: Let's post what they say and expose them on a broader scale, and maybe those lurkers here from such places might start to see how wrong they are - and pass along this tripe and keep shining a light into the dark holes of the net so we don't keep hearing 'well, you have a black president now, racism is dead and we need to get rid of affirmative action' etc and so on.

I don't like it when people complain about christians with a broad brush, or gays, jews, women, men, etc and so on. A few bad apples does not mean you cut down the tree.

We can't make progress if people keep denying the problems exist.
