What is the real situation from those of you who live inside the USA?

I've never been treated anything but politely pretty much wherever I go. I have a feeling that some people of any color go looking for evidence of discrimination against them.

Well you see there are vast amounts of this black on white racism in America.. All you need to do is look at the Council of Conservative Citizens website. Its horrible being white in this country... the welfare queens and FSA are out to get all of us don't ya know. [/sarcasm]

I swear that site provides all the OMG look what those evil black people are doing to our people to keep some posters here in silly negro threads till long after I am dead.

It's out there. "Minority on minority" racism is definitely an issue, particularly in the inner cities. Blacks often direct hatred against Asians (both eastern and western) who are often store owners.

I don't think it's a huge, or even a big issue.

Hatred of those who are "different," especially when they are perceived as taking advantage of the locals, isn't terribly surprising. Xenophobia isn't confined to white people.

Well there is a palpable form daily in America.. of driving while black...that nearly every person of color can describe at length. I suppose that leads to this case of standing while black

The fuck is 'reverse racism'? I think its beyond retarded to imply that only white folks are capable of being racists.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

This is also true to me.

Some people say that "racism" implies a power differential as well, with a racist having to have more power.

But I think that's just conflating abuse of power with racism.

When I was still body building I was with a friend who was black,and he took me to his favorite soul food place.
He stopped outside the building to talk with this cutie while I went in to get a table. As soon as I walked in three black guys stood up and asked me if I was fucking lost.
I told them that I was there to try some of the red beans and rice that I had heard was very good.
Another black guy wearing a funny looking hat told me that I had really fucked up coming in there.
The lady who owned the place came to the counter to see what the commotion was,and at that moment my buddy Davis walked in and she smiled and asked him if he had brought another big eater in to enjoy her food. He introduced me to her and we sat down. The four guys who had hassled me started to give her shit for having a cracker in the place at which point she informed them that it was her place and if I was a friend of Davis then I was more than welcome there.
One of the three sat back down. The guy with the funny hat and the other two guys left.
The owner apologized and then sat down to talk with Davis and I.
After a couple of hours of power eating she laughed and asked me if I always ate so much. I told her that I only did when the food was tasty.
She told me to come in again anytime. I asked her if it would hurt her business and she told me that she didn't care if they liked it or not,and that they would be back regardless since she had the best food in town.
A couple of weeks later Davis came up to longview to a party my two roomates and I were throwing.
Davis brought this hot red head with him. The night was going well until these four red necks from greys river cornered Davis who was shitfaced, and were roughing him up, and calling his date a skanky whore, while she was trying to keep them off of him.At that moment one of my roommates and I walked around the corner. We backed them off and my roommate told them to get the fuck out at which point they started calling us nigger lovers. At that moment I got a look at Davis's face and his bloody mouth and I exploded on the two who were closest and knocked both of them out. My roommate had another one on the ground pounding on his face while the third ran into the black berries to try and hide.
The point is,that there has always been bigotry from all races,towards all races, for as long as there has been differences in skin,hair,eyes,culture,ect....
It is ignorance and intolerance.
I like to believe that there have also been good,tolerant,people of all races,and this has been my personal experience.

Whats strange is that from 97-2006 I lived in Dallas and I had a black roommate the entire time. We never once had any racial tension between us or any of the people we hung out with. Of course he was a DJ and everyone we would be around was in the music industry of some sort and we all smoked the dizzle. Perhaps potheads aren't violent, but if I can know someone for that long and never have any dustups about race then the rest of the nation should be able to finally have some tolerance amongst the races. And ebb and flow of patience and kindness that goes both ways. But there will always be assholes. They aren't worth my time since I don't associate with people with self-esteem issues.

Yes,I have had a lot of friends from many backgrounds and we never had any issues with racial friction at all.
I grew up in the longview-kelso area of Washington state though,and have seen a few racist pricks there even into recent years,but their numbers are falling quickly as that generation is dying off quicker than they can recruit new ranks.
The last time I've been subjected to racism was in the Pahokee florida area as recently as 2007.
I have had a couple of black guys try to rob me in the past,but I do not think it was a racism thing anymore than the last white guy who tried to rob me was racism.
