Racism in the US? You mean like the 38,000 innocent white women who are raped by black men every year? You mean like white people being charged with "hate crimes" for defending themselves against a black assault where the brutal torture killing of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom is NOT declared a hate crime? Like a racist US Attorney General who has signed into law a "hate crimes" bill which does not protect white victims of black violence?

You mean groups of blacks violently assaulting random whites for no reason except for race and hate crime charges STILL not being filed:

Do you mean racism like the kind of racism that discriminates against white students for university programs which are offered to undeserving minorities?
Yes, that kind of racism is definitely rampant in the USA and must stop.
Sure, Matt, Black people don't experience rape or violence. Give me a break.
Your totally one-sided view and seeing Blacks as perpetrators and violent offenders and seeing Whites as victims of oppression screams racism. There's a reason affirmative action was adopted; there's a reason that there's a Black History month; there's a reason why there was a Civil Rights movement.
The U.S. was made on slave labor, with a long and storied history of legalized and indoctrinated racism. Over 200 years of oppressing Blacks and other minorities. Yet you expect to have solved everything and believe we're now all on a level playing field in less than 40 years!?!?!? Give me a fucking break.
Race is still a big issue in the U.S., and Blacks and other minorities are still getting the shaft.
The figures you post are skewed. Blacks and minorities are often uneducated and impoverished -- not because of genetics or laziness, as you would have us believe, but because of historically fucked up policies. Thus, Blacks and minorities commit crimes. (I'm not saying they ALL do or have to because they're poor, but let's face it, poor, uneducated people commit crimes.) Poor, uneducated White people have the same crime stats.
I'm curious as to why you think you're so qualified to speak on race relations. What's your experience and education? Have you spent any time in Black neighborhoods? I don't claim to be an expert, by any means, but I'm not the one starting threads and posting biased statistics and facts.
