Agreed. I worked for a large urban school district. I’m talking only about supervisors here, not about teachers or students. There was white prejudice against blacks. It was subtle, but it certainly was there.
And there was black prejudice against whites. That was more widespread, and not at all subtle.
As for the manufactured part, you betcha. We’d have to attend these meetings where we weren’t told that all racism was bad. We were instead told that white racism was bad. Bad, bad white people! This does nothing but get everyone all worked up.
This is a tough problem. There’s a chance it can be fixed, but only if the one-way accusations are discarded. And also discard the tendency to automatically tie everything to race: “I didn’t get hired. That company must be racist.”
(I know I’m dreaming here. Nothing will change. The race baiters like things just the way they are.)
I don’t know. The only thing we can do is present the truth because we can’t stop them from lying or expressing those lies.
“The race baiters like things just the way they are.” Indeed and race baiting has become a multi-million dollar industry
Amen to that.
I’ll take manufactured” for $500, PS.
Fake hate crimes are so common it seems there might not be any real ones.

I predict he will "step down" as more comes to light for "health reasons," and then the Democrats -- unless they can trick the system -- will get President Word Salad. Oy.
There is plenty of ‘racism’. Mainly anti-white.
Racism all forms of it can never be zero!
There is always going to be someone somewhere who dislikes a group of people for an irrational reason. Deal with it, just learn to work around them!
Are we a racist nation? Test it.
Stand near the door of a QuikTrip and observe the interactions of the various cultures coming and going.
Count the helpful and kind interactions, like holding the door, standing aside, waiting for the other, nodding and saying hi.
Count the negative interactions, disrespectful comments, invective, racial hurls.
I’ll bet you the positive interactions outnumber the negative 1000 to one.

The purpose of this site is to compile a comprehensive database of the false reports of “hate crimes” committed (mostly) in the USA. It builds on the work of Laird Wilcox, whose Crying Wolf (PDF) is the original book on this subject. The books Hate Crime Hoax and Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics are also recommended.
We are the least racist country on the planet, and it’s not even close.
But Racism, Inc. is trying to change that.
“I wasn’t a racist, until you called me one.”
Yep. We were reaching toward a color-blind society. Now race is front and center again — driven by those that want to destroy America and their useful idiots.
Race is a nonsense unscientific categorization. Just what the doctor ordered for dividing this once great country.
There is racism....its black against everybody else.
Darn good work. We swim in a world of lies, and the media expects us to believe them, read headlines but not full texts and never follow-ons and retractions. Brilliant site!
Fakehatecrimes.org is a fantastic site!
People who have never traveled outside the United States have no idea how true this is.
In “Enlightened” Europe, soccer fans still throw bananas on the pitch at black players, who even play for the team they root for.
