Question: ... "Why are so many Black Americans racist toward whites?" My daughter goes to school in a mixed community. I could send her to private school, but I feel it is important that she learn to cope with the real world. In the school that she goes to, it seems that the Black students are aggressive toward the white students. Why? I know there is anger because of the past, but why treat whites the way they would not want to be treated and have fought against all these years? We made no decisions in the times when Blacks were mistreated [and] we believe in equality--so why can't we be given the same respect? This is a question asked by many people I know. I was hoping maybe you could give me an honest answer.
Now don't get me wrong--not all Black Americans are like this. We have many friends that are not interested in keeping racism alive in either direction--black and white. So why do some choose to act in such a way? Do they not realize that this attitude is one of the things that keeps racism alive? Thank you.
Answer:
Thank you for your question and the courage it took to put it on the table.
I would expect to find an equal percentage of Black American bigots as white bigots. What Black Americans don't have, in most cases, is a societal, condoned way of expressing it--because white people are the majority.
This is why it's more accurate to use the words "bigot" or "bigots" in your question than "racist" or "racists." Racism is based on an oppressor/oppressed relationship. The majority culture can be racist toward the minority culture, but the opposite cannot be true. Everyone, however, can be a bigot.

Complete and total BS. Anyone can be racist to anyone else. Besides, no one oppresses anyone in this country.
Anyone checked crime stats recently? Namely victim and offender...?
Didn’t think so, because if they did, Federal Hate Crimes would be a joke, under analysis.
Complete and utter nonsense.
Shut your white cracker @ss up.
Ah, but if you repeat a doctrinaire lie enough times, ANYTHING can be true -- as witness the above maltomeal mush.
“Why? I know there is anger because of the past, but why treat whites the way they would not want to be treated and have fought against all these years?

Why? Because racism is big money. The so called ‘black leaders’ and ‘hispanic leaders’ are pimps in the race industry. They are happy to persecute a white baby born today as a racist against any baby of color born today. It’s cultural insanity, just as slavery was.
A white girl going to a mostly-black school is child abuse.
Translation: “Blacks cannot be racist toward whites, they can only be a little snotty, because you’ve spent four hundred years oppressing them. Shut up and give them reparations and they’ll leave you alone.”
I would so love to fire every “diversity coordinator” in the country and make them get real jobs flipping burgers or weeding gardens, so they’d actually contribute to the economic health of the country instead of being a drag on it.

I don't play that game.
The backlash starts now.
One black kid in a white school will become a celebrity, probably homecoming king or queen unless the kid is a total loser.
One white kid in a black school....well, no homecoming crowns for sure.

“Around 1978, a college classmate from Brooklyn told me the unwritten rule that whites in New York City (Asians, too, as I later found) followed in dealing with blacks: To always avoid looking them in the eye. (Years later, I would discover that middle and upper-class blacks feared the stares of angry black men just as much as other groups did, but the blacks refused to admit it to whites.) Meanwhile, as I learned almost immediately after moving to New York in 1985, for an ever increasing proportion of black New Yorkers, staring down whites is a sport, which often precedes an assault. Failure to stare back could cost you your life. I always stare back.
But then, already joked in the early 1970s, as children in Long Beach, Long Island, my sister and I had joked about the racist black girls on the school bus, who would stare at Jewish girls who were already avoiding looking at them, demanding, “What you lookin’ at, gir-r-r-l?!” (The black girls didn’t dare pull the same stunt on Irish girls, because the latter, unlike the Jews, had been raised to be unafraid of fighting blacks.)”
I've heard it said over the past 10 years that black people cannot be racist because they do not have the power structure to do anything WITH that poisoned ideology.
Attaining a hold on the White House didn't give them "power"?
The author is a bigoted idiot.
Racism is bigotry on the basis of race (as opposed to bigotry on the basis of nationality, sex, religion, politics, age...).
Killed if male, raped if female. Should we tolerate Black racists? Of course not! We should kick their teeth in, and we should do the same to those that enable them.
“Why are so many Black Americans racist toward whites”
Because the likes of Jesse Jackson keep the flames going! Afterall, there’s big money in racism!
I keep hearing that the day is coming where white citizens in America will be outnumbered by a single group.
Can we refer to such attitudes towards white people as "racist" at that point? Or is it considered "social justice for hundreds of years of oppressive rule"?
Should the racist Blacks (mulattos, etc) be smart, they’d be looking out for the Islamists who care not for any skin color distinction among infidels.
You and yours belong to a group that has abdicated all responsibility for governance. Others are stepping up to govern. By governing they make the law. As Blackstone said there is no greater superiority than to lay down the law. You and yours are members of a soon to be totally conquered race and as the Gaul said to the Roman; Woe to the conquered!
Baloney.
