They can and do..........And nobody calls them out on it. For some reason it is considered acceptable to joke about SF or even the entire state of CA falling into the sea. So consider this payback time, lol.

But that all ended 30 years ago so their butt-hurt is lame. If only we can get all those who were around back in those days to take off their "skeptical face" and just trust us when we say "I have a friend who is black"

Not my problem though.

You need to know people from other countries....racism is nothing here. Seriously.

Why does it have to be white history? Why can't it just be history?

This is why we will always have racism. People are too frightened to just let the melting pot do it's job.

Agree....but IMO...there is no such thing as racism. You either love, like or hate. Color just gives an excuse, just like gender or physical abilites.

I know some people from South Africa who are technically African-Americans. I found out that African-Americans can't stand well African-Americans. Mention black people around them and they come unglued.

A lot of Caribbean (Black) folk have negative opinions of "African Americans".
