The lowest races in the North were Irish and Blacks, Blacks obviously being worse. In the west, it was Chinese, since they were coming over in buttloads, after Dec. 7th 1941 to about 1980, all Asian people were hated in America (Go Pearl Harbor and Vietnam for racism!). What is a common misconception is the KKK did not go after just blacks, they went after any non-Anglo-Saxon, especially the Irish, since English people hate Irish people.

In the late 1990's a black man had a rope tied around his neck and was dragged behind a truck for miles in Texas.

After schools in Oklahoma City were forced to intergrate those who didnt want to fled and formed the town of Moore. Moore is seven minutes from where I live, and I cant step foot inside that town without getting the most crazy looks ever.

Hmm, ok, so former slave states/slave territories are like that, but I'm wondering, was it a Native American who gives you racist looks and did this thing? Because Native Americans are definitely racist to Blacks on some occasions, because from 1492-1550s, Native Americans were slaves, but did not have the immune system compared to those of Blacks, so some Spanish Priest suggested Blacks be used as slaves.

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this was interesting.

During the O.J. Simpson trial I would say 95% or black people thought he was innocent while a large majority of white people thought he was guilty.

There is also the driving while black thing.

When somebody says that a certain race of people are not human or are not deserving of the same rights and laws as them, that is racism.

When someone looks at you funny because your from a different culture, that is cultureism. This would be going as far as to say , ooh your a Republican!? you can't work here, the DNC is for democrats only.

Well, in Chicago, there are around 750k black people, where I went to high school, there was I'd say, 30% of the school was black, and I saw no signs of racism, or separation of cultures, except for the Mexicans together speaking Spanish.

Okay. There are towns in Mississippi that I am not allowed in after dark. There are actual signs that say it.

I find that odd, as that is agaisnt all laws to have such signs. Sure they arn't historical signs in museums or something?

You can make a hefty profit if those signs are real.

There was an actual sign. It read "Niggers are not allowed in _____ after dark" Its not really one of those things you want to test.

I'm very suprirsed nobody has sued that town yet then. If I was black, I'd be on my way to bring that town to its knees.
