A very interesting subject and perspectives. As a young boy growing up in a big city in the north east USA I know about racism. I went to school in the 60's. I was a half American Indian half white who had the unfortunate problem of the hue of his skin being dark and lived in an all white neighborhood. I used to take bleach and try to lighten my skin up. I was called the N word and sp*c and half N for most of my adolescent life.
I got chased home from school by whites and punched around in school by black and spanish kids. I couldn't walk 2 blocks past my house without a confrontation by another group. In my neighborhood, blacks lived across the Avenue and whites lived by the river. Everyone stayed in their own "hood or got beat up. I have an intergrated family where my nieces have married spanish or black men and they have children. My SIL is married (25 years) to a black man. I have been married to a white as snow woman for 37 years. I lived racism and today is nothing compared to then. Racism today is nothing but political correctness run amok. People like to be with their own kind, blacks will gravitate to blacks, whites to whites and hispanics to hispanics if left alone and not forced to be together. Why is there a NAACP and not a NAAWP Why is there Cinco d Mayo and not White May or why Black history month and not White history month? Why do we celebrate Kwaanza and notan Indian celebration ritual, why is there ISLAM or black Pride and not the KKK? Lots of people are too sensitive and the government is doing all it can to keep it that way by enacting hate laws that go only one way .....white on black. Now, whitey is getting pissed off and forming their own protection and scaring the heck out of a lot of minorities and their sympathizers. Too bad, you reap what you sow.
I don't feel sorry for anyone and if they are idiots, I don't care what color they are they are still idiots. Racism is only in the racists person mind and usually the one that shouts it the loudest is the perpetrator.

It is time to move on.......life is too short, if you hate me for the color of my skin or hate anyone for outward looks, I don't want to be counted among you. I accept people for who they are MLK said judge me on the content of my character, not on the color of my skin. When I look to the leaders of this country I find them wanting.

Have a great life............
