White " criminals " of the old west... The blacks were hung because they were black not because they were criminals, and the black ones are the most recent in occurrence; up until the late 60s.

* Implying that sleeping with a white woman invalidates due process of law *
My Grandmother was raised during that time. She remembers the whole water fountain thing and having to not look at the white people because they may get angry and try to hurt her. It really confuses me when people act as though everything ended with slavery as though the civil rights movement never existed. Is it so surprising when some black people may not like certain thigns because of the past, especailly when there are living relatives who were alive during those times, who likely weren't to fond of whites for their own hardships and may have passed that off to their children. My grandmother however ended up with a white man from spain so this never happened with me; however, it's not like it's uncommon or as though it can't happen, give it 2 or more generations.

Being racist as they were back in the day, white women wouldn't have slept with a black man on consensus. If often implied rape, and that is punishable even today. But yeah, as I said, just jump to the "it's racism" conclusion cuz it's the easiest thing to do, never mind any other explanation.
White people being beaten to near death because of racial motivation is the same, so yeah....when will you finally get it that racism can go both ways?
You're such a tool. In that case, no black man on this earth has the right to be offended by the N word, because that's not being lynched. Does that sound about right to you? Being called racist just because you're white is an act of racism in itself. Racism is not something only white people can be, get it in that thick skull of yours already.
" Well, what else could we do? He was hopeless. I'm no bully; I never hurt a nigger in my life. I like niggers—in their place—I know how to work 'em. But I just decided it was time a few people got put on notice. As long as I live and can do anything about it, niggers are gonna stay in their place. Niggers ain't gonna vote where I live. If they did, they'd control the government. They ain't gonna go to school with my kids. And when a nigger gets close to mentioning sex with a white woman, he's tired o' livin'. I'm likely to kill him. Me and my folks fought for this country, and we got some rights. I stood there in that shed and listened to that nigger throw that poison at me, and I just made up my mind. 'Chicago boy,' I said, 'I'm tired of 'em sending your kind down here to stir up trouble. Goddam you, I'm going to make an example of you—just so everybody can know how me and my folks stand.'

This. I loved how i was called a racist by fellow black employees during the 2008 election because i stated i was voting for McCain, based on beliefs of both candidates.
But when they stated they were voting for Obama because " bout time to have a brotha in the White House" Is not racist, it's " pride".
Institutionalized Racism is something only white people have been capable of in this country for the longest amount of time.

If that is exactly how your whole encounter went, then it is called ignorance; get over it.
So... when a white person calls me nigger because I'm half black I shouldn't be insulted?

It's not ironic... mixed children sold better and were worth quite a bit. When the Irish were enslaved they were often forced to have sex with the blacks in order to produce mixed children. This was later outlawed because it was seen as almost cheating and a sure way to make a lot of money.

Also when that shooting happened that was targeting blacks by those two guys his facebook post said "my dad shot by a fucking nigger" Or when those people found and beat up a nigger because well he had the audacity to be in a parking lot by his car doing nothing. Or when the nigger got ran over because he was a nigger.... racism nor did the word nigger and it's use towards black die... these are recent stories... You'd be hard pressed to find as much racism from blacks towards whites that ends in such violence.

I'm not talking about your shitty country, I'm talking about racism worldwide. You're not winning any arguments against white racism just because in your country they asked for it some centuries ago. Ir-fucking-relevant.
Ok, based on that, calling you nigger right in the face would make me ignorant, not racist. Right? Right? In that case, get over it nigger.
I dare you to get offended by that. I dare you. I double dare you, you double standard.

White and blacks had relationships? White people loving black guys? Oh snap. Where the fuck was the racism then? I guess they weren't hating black people that much after all, eh?

In this thread, white people being butthurt about what a travesty it is they can't call people n-words. Oh the humanity of having to not act like a child.

To everyone thinking about getting into this topic:
Be very careful what you say.
Whether you're holding a bigoted view or not, almost anything you say can be contrived into prejudice.
For my money, bigotry of all kinds, including racism, is caused by misunderstanding of certain facts, facts that are commonly presented in a racially motivated way (by all races). Peer pressure obviously plays its part, particularly if there's a family invested in this type of thing. The biggest tragedy is when people who argue against bigotry start making an issue out of the very thing they wish to dismiss as an issue.
Maybe that's why an otherwise developed society still has this particular problem.
I criticized Valerie Solanas recently on Twitter, and got treated to a delightful table of sexual violence threats from angry feminists.
Wanting to make a problem go away by highlighting it is unlikely to work. By that I mean making race an issue to fight for, makes race an issue in and of itself.
Alas, too many people in the world have a vested interest in bigotry, racism particularly, so it's unlikely to go away anytime soon.
TL, DR?
Bigotry (and racism) is asinine.
Don't do it.

I won't be hard pressed. Like the article shows, and i can find about 10 or so more, just in my city. the blacks play this game called knock out game. It's where they find unsuspecting white people and or other races, and smach them in the face with a brick, or other objects. Has led to deaths, and other serious injuries.
But you are right, i would be " hard pressed" to find blacks being racist. Or maybe you just choose not to see it? I'll go with the latter.
