Good for you, Nalvy. I’m afraid in my circles that things like this aren’t talked about. It shouldn’t be that way. Perhaps it is because there are still a lot of white people who are prejudiced so the rest of us go overboard to try and prove how tolerant we are but we shouldn’t be tolerant of hatred. I think we need to be careful to make very clear that we know there are a lot of great African-Americans who do not hate whites.

I think Jan it is all how we are brought up personally.

I have never been afraid to stand up against racism of any kind reverse or not. I find it completely ridiculous that people can view themselves as better than someone else period. We are all loved equally by the Lord and that is all that should matter.

I look at race as not an identification but as a gift…we are all so blessed to be different. People need to start realizing that.

I’ve never really thought about it before but I think whites have been programmed to be so nervous talking about this subject that we accept whatever is being said out there. I guess even talking about the fact that there is a problem makes us feel racist. Is that part of the whole labels of political correctness herding us to where they want us to be in our attitudes? I’m new to this thinking so someone tell me if I am on track here.

What gets me is that if a lot of people read this they would call us racist because we aren’t allowed to say that blacks are racist without somehow getting tarred with the same brush. I have black buddies and they know I’m not racist but I don’t think I would have the guts to say to them that I don’t think it is right for blacks to hate whites. Somehow that would make me a racist. The MSM helps make things that way and it stinks. Things won’t get better until both sides decide to stop hating.

T. Fan, don’t feel bad about having to work at it. Since your folks were racist it would be natural for you to have those feelings but it says lots about you that you recognized the problem and are fighting it. I admire that.

SGS, that is so freaky. I had no idea there were people like that out there. I hate racism going both ways. I have kind of liked Obama and was thinking about voting for him. I knew he was really liberal and everything but I figured we could watch him really close and keep him in line. But now knowing about this racism I don’t think I could vote for anyone who hates someone because of the color of there skin.

I have had a black person telling me I’ld go to hell just because I am white. I was on a mission for my church — pocket name tag and everything, in New York City. We were sitting on subway. This black guy was sitting across from us. He stared us for a while, then he said, “Do you know you are going to hell?” Just like that. My companion asked, “Why?” He replied, “Because you are white.” My companion, having heard of this religious group, decided to ask him some more questions. He claimed that Jesus is black, not Jew. He said there is nothing we can do about getting out of hell, all simply because of the color of our skins. It does not matter how much we have accepted Jesus as our Savior. He was not angry or anything like that, but he did have that attitude of being superior to us. It was my first exposure to the reverse racism. As soon as I heard the doctrines of Obama’s church, I knew they both have the similiar belief system. It was not hard for me to know Obama is a racist. I continue to be amazed that the general public has not seen that — yet!

I’ll be honest enough to admit this is something I’ve struggled with. My parents were prejudiced but when I was grown I realized I had to fight that. I’ve had some bad experiences which make it harder to over come but I know it is wrong to not have Christ-like love for all God’s children so I really try. I never did buy the idea that because whites kept blacks as slaves that this gives them a right to hate us. Hate is wrong…period.

I’ve tried to give Obama the benefit of the doubt but after reading this the jury is in. He is a racist and everyone should know it. If they then want to vote for a man who is racist then fine, their choice. I was disgusted when he sold out his grandma but still hoped it didn’t really mean he was racist. I hoped he didn’t really go along with his pastor but let’s get real. He wouldn’t be so close to him and give so much money if he didn’t have similar views.
