That was great. Would've been 100x better if it was Samuel L. Jackson though.

Institutionalized Racism is just another term used to keep racism in the face of people. There may have been some creditability to the term when it was created in the 60s.

The reality is Whites are always "racist", just by virtue of being white, separate and apart from their treatment of blacks, however honorable or benign that treatment may be.

that's not what the term means, numbnuts

Just 40 years ago minorities were getting beaten up, lynched, thrown at with stones, getting their property firebombed, etc. It really isn't that long ago. Don't think minorities should just forget about it just because things are getting better. Just 28 years ago Vincent Chin was mistaken for a Japanese by a laid-off white autoworker and beaten to death. He didn't recieve any jail time.

Basically, whites have done some real fucked up shit not too long ago, some people still have a hard time getting over it, too bad.

Racism will never end, it's in our subconscious thoughts and will sometimes slip out especially when you're with close friends and/or drunk. We had a "corporate picnic" a couple of weeks back and I overheard my service manager say a black joke to my general manager and they both chuckled like 2 little girls and to be honest it didn't surprise me that much. Thumbs up to Morgan Freeman, what he said made a lot of sense.

i get it with black people. i mean why they hate whites now...life DOES suck for a black person in america. not nearly as many opportunities as white people.


let them have their pride and separate college fraternities and TV channels. we did some fucked up shit to them and we STILL don't treat them equally...racism is absolutely out there in probably about 80% of america and is still passed down from generation to generation. especially out in texas and colorado and all of the midwest.
