You think people are "over" their prejudices? You're kidding, right? Tell that to the black guy in TX where some whites tied him up to their car and "ran" him until he died.......or you might want to tell the illegal that the police beat up in LA because he was, well, illegal......or may be the Jamaican they sodomized in a NYC police......or the gay guy in ID or WY where they crucified him or.....the list goes on and on.
These incidents are highly unusal and outliers. Also, I suspect more white guys have been victims of hate crimes than have blacks, gays, or illegals.
Oh, I should have seen this coming.........that's right us white guys are getting it right up the butt. Just the other day they wouldn't serve me in a black coffee shop........and it was a Starbucks too......and I told 'em I was a liberal!!
How often are blacks refused service? Hell, anyone would be afraid to refuse service because they would be creamed with lawsuits. In fact, the last publicized case I can recall was when Dennys was ridiculously sued.
No one deserves to be discriminated because of their color, gender or religion and no one earns the right to be discriminated either.
Well, I disagree. If I'm a little nervous about walking through a predominantly black area of the city, it is because blacks have a reputation for assaulting whites who are walking alone through "their" part of town. So I will "discriminate" about where I walk. Blacks deserve this discrimination in many instances.
And like I said, prejudice is alive and well in these United States.
I don't say it is sheerly nonexistent; I say it is insignificant in scope. There was a time and place for AA; today, like school busing became -- the damage done by it is far worse than the problem it is attempting to correct. |
