Yeah, I guess getting threatened with physical violence for sitting at one of the black tables is simply a reaction to what started it when none of the other groups seem to give a shit where the blacks sit.

Maybe if these idiots got out of their little areas with 5% or less blacks, then they migth actually acknowledge that minorities can be racist.

LOL... of course minorities can be racist. Like bud said, it's only a reaction to what started it.


disagree completely.

justifying minority racism as simply a reaction? are you REALLY implying that if White past racism hadn't have happened minorities would not be racist?

Oh really?

Whenever I'd go up north to see family, there weren't 'minorities' involved, though blacks have finally started to move into my grandma's neighborhood up in Scranton in the past 5 years.

In the vast majority of the USA blacks constitute less than 5% of the population, and the thought that blacks constitute any significant concentrations in most of those places where they are 5% or less is just hillarious.


I never said everywhere, I said pretty much everywhere...meaning almost everywhere.

And what makes you think I don't give any attention to other reasons for discrimination?  I have made other topics about the nature of racism in general, such as this one, where I talked about how stereotypes =/= prejudice, but how they aren't totally unrelated from each other either.

I can only focus on so many things at a time, you know.


Alright, I get it.

Lets see one of your English class essays?

 I've probably lost the point cause it's late.  But yes, reverse discrimination can be a problem, but it's not bigger than plain old discrimination. Whites do most of the discriminating anyway.


Thank you.

Why is Seafercat bound by what I say? She's certainly free to disagree with me on this point.

That said, many people often believe that because it's a reaction to racism perpetrated against them in the past or present, that it's somehow justified. But as I claimed in the OP, this couldn't be more wrong as racism is never justified and it's hypocritical to subject others who weren't apart of that minority's discrimination to their racism.  It's extremely important that you also keep this in mind and realize just how prevalent this can become, especially if people feel it's justified.

Donno, ask her. She's the one that had a problem with your statement.
