In one sense, I agree. Liberals have a much stronger tendency to think they know what the solutions to your problems are, while completely overlooking reasons their solutions can be ineffective. That sort of racism is more prevalent on the left.
However, if you just plain don't like or don't trust people with darker skin than you, the right is a much more comfortable political position in that regard. The featuring of blame-the-victim metality does not hurt.
See that is what I have a problem with. Rascism is generally considered a white person problem. I would call the Black Panthers rascist and they are on the left side of politics. They are effectively the same as the KKK. I have also met my share of Hispanic and Indian (Native American) rascists.
Racism is a privilege problem. While I find your comparison of the Black Panthers to the KKK off-base for a variety of reasons, what I mean by that is you will suffer very little, if at all, from any black/Hispanic/Native American that is genuinely hateful, and you probably don't make decisions every day based on dealing with that hate; racism is something that affects the behavior of more-darkly skinned people on a daily basis.
1. It's Barack the Magic Negro
2. You need to look up the history of the term "magic negro" and then reference it back to Al Sharpton and comments he made regarding Obama before he was elected president. The song is satire making fun of Sharpton's bombastic idiocy, not of Barack Obama's skin color.
They probably do have a much deeper experience with rascism than I do. However my equating the Black Panthers to the KKK in this sense is appropriate. They are both clearly rascist. I am sure that people that live in areas where the KKK and Black Panthers are active have to deal with it directly. I concede that wealth, means, activities may be different but they are both rascist organizations. The media clearly portrays it as a white only problem and it is not. It is an ignorance problem for all races.
All I am saying is that rascism is alive and well amoung all races not just caucasians.
I don't see how the Black Panthers "are" anything; they've been disbanded for something along the lines of two decades, and were never racist.
That you seem to think the KKK, and similar organizations, are somehow the main cause of people with darker skin having to change their behavior shows how little you really understand the reality of American culture. If the KKK and Sotrmfront were the real forces behind racism, that would be a cause for cheer.
I never said the KKK and similar orgs were the cause of anything. All I said is that the KKK is a rascist oraganization.
I'm sure he meant the "New" Black Panthers. As far as being racist, do a youtube search of New Black Panthers.
Yes I did. Sorry for this misnamming.
Potato, potata
Uni, would you please give me your thoughts on the following, and if you believe it is racist thinking:
Trout's 10 point "White Without Boarders" plan
1. White people to be in control of any institution within their community.
2.The government to provide full employment for White people.
3. Land, mules or money for every White person in America.
4. Decent Housing is to be provided for Whites.
5. Proper education and history of Whites in America.
6. Free health care for Whites.
7. White people should be able to arm themselves against the government/police.
8. White people should be exempt from military service.
9. Retrying of cases for any White person that is imprisoned, by a jury of peers/White people. (because the Blacks totally F'd us over.)
10. Because of our history in the US, White people have the right to to all of the things above.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I'll write Ron Paul in before I'll vote for any of these other lying pieces of garbage.
Oh.... and good point Trout.
Oh.... and good point Trout.
So, we agree that the KKK is not causitive to the society being racist, and that avoiding the KKK does not change the fact that people with darker skin still face racism daily. Excellent.

You mean, like there's no difference between the Latter Day Church of Christ and the LDS church?
Why would I do a you tube search on a group that, for a time, was so extremem the Nation of Islam rejected them? One that was so dishonest some of the actual Black Panthers sucessfully sued to prohibit them from using the black panther name and logo?
It's almost as if you're completely ignorant of the details of the "New Black Panthers", and lumped them into th esame group as the Black Panthers, and in a thread where you are trying to claim that the left is just as racist as the right. Surely you are not that irony-impaired.
1. Who should control the institution within a community (as opposed to a public institution that extends outside that community) besides the members of that community? Why would that be racist?
2. Classic Marxism. Why is it racist?
3. A response to the racist oppression of "white" people.
4. Ibid.
5. A response to the fact that impoortant "white" have been ignored in the history books. You only read about "non-white" people in history.
6. Again, classic Marxism.
7. Isn't that basically what Jefferson said about the need for arms?
8. A response to the unfairness of the draft, whose burden fell disproportionately on "white" people.
9. A response the the presumption of guilt typically presumed by "non-white" people on "white" defendants.
10. These demands only make sense in the historical context, not because "white" people are inherently better.
You are welcome. No, I don't find that list racist, I find it responsive to the society that created it.
Do you think the Black Panthers would have opposed #2 or #6 for all people?
Substitute every "White" with "Black" and you have: https://www.stanford.edu/group/blackpanthers/history.shtml
So, yes, I think the BPP would've opposed #2 and #6. And you're out of your liberal mind if you don't find that entire list racist.
