Back to the topic at hand, the fact of the matter is that Whites do not enjoy the same freedoms and liberties under the Constitution that Blacks enjoy. As I pass through the checkout lane at the grocery, I see Ebony magazine, Essence magazine, and Jet magazine. I have no problem with these, per se. However, if there were an Ivory magazine or Snow White magazine occupying the space next to the Black magazines, there would be a national outcry of racism until the grocer conceded and stop carrying the "White racist filth." It wouldn't end there either. Civil lawsuits would be forthcoming against the grocer. The chain could also face discrimination lawsuits from the government. Likewise, I see a Congressional Black Caucus, Miss Black America, a United Negro College Fund, Black Entertainment Television, and affirmative action laws all dedicated to the special interests of Blacks. Would a Congressional White Caucus, Miss White America, United Caucasian College Fund, White Entertainment Television, or magazines dedicated to White interests be socially acceptable? My direct question to you is this, jlallen: "Why is it that only Whites are discriminated against and punished for perceived racism?"
