I agree with the comment that “You don’t say all blacks are violent...and NOT get called on it.”
Racist or not? I don’t know. Don’t particularly care. It’s particularly stupid. It’s like saying all Hispanics are illegals and all Arabs are terrorists and all Democrats are traitors.... (Wait, one out of three? ;) )
Racism is basically a lack of understanding or lack of intelligence. Reverend Wright for example, tossing out some rather generalizing statements about whites, I will challenge him to EVER find an incident of me doing ANY of the things he’s accused the entire race of doing. And if he can find something I’ve stupidly done that might offend, I can toss out a different one. My Grandmother. Never a mean bone in her body. Ever. She was one of the best people you could imgaine. She taught Sunday School, volunteered, though she was raised in a southern town in a southern time, refused to say a negative thing about blacks in general, and often would, just to tweak the noses of those who practiced hatred, invite the kids from “the other side of the track” to come play. She loved everyone. Not just “white” people.
When she passed, there were over 700 people that either attended her funeral or the memorial service.
People fear that they don’t understand and if they fear it, they often hate it.

That's the problem, Paul.
