Now if you can show me instances in which blacks have segregated , persecuted and dominated whites then I will accept the idea that they are black racist ? Black bigots sure, blacks who hold prejudicial and discriminatory ideas yes - but black racist NO...
you are absolutely right fankster. There is racial predjudice, yes. but by that definition of racisim, no.

Thing is, the ideas that racists use to justify racism are also based on racial predjudice. So, if you imagine a country where blacks run things, those blacks holding predjudicial ideas would likely do the same.

So we need to work to stamp out hate, predjudice, AND racism in all around us. Not an acheivable task, not in my lifetime, but with a correct mind and heart we need to start somewhere.
