I've met so many black people here in South Carolina. Most of them are friendly and courteous and treat you with respect.

I encounter a lot of different nationalities in my life and although i'm not the ruling authority on race superiority, i'd have to say that black people have caused far less problems in world history and in modern day life than white people, particularly white males. I think that the media exaggeration of the problems caused by the "black male" has a lot to do with the overwhelming degree of fear and hatred aimed towards ethnic minorities in North America.

And this kind of thinking is exactly where racism has spawned from.

I would definitely agree with you. There is still a lot of prejudice here, although not nearly as overt as it used to be. As for who has caused more problems, maybe. I think it depends on where you live, and what you are familiar with. If you are living in the middle of Africa, you probably aren't blaming your problems on the white man. If you're going to say that then, who has made the most advancements in technology?

Yep, lumping an entire group of people into a category based on a select few has been a problem since civilization started. (Wow that was a mouthful!)

Why do we even care about which group has caused more problems, or made the most advancements in technology?

What about my thoughts?

I don't know what your motives for posting your thoughts were, but you seem to be ascribing blame to one side or the other. If we simply realized that everything we do affects people - black, white, asian, hispanic, man, woman, adult, child, whatever - then we may finally realize that racism is a concept that is very much dwarfed by human stupidity, in general.

And to all of you who are calling Michael Richards a racist asshole, it's obvious you see things at face value and are not looking for a reason or a lesson through all of this.

Yes, I totally agree, ignorance is a huge factor in racism, but what I said above wasn't ignorant. It's just the facts.

Illuminate us then with your insights on what lesson we can draw from Richard's poor delivery of a lamely crafter comeback?
