I COMPLETELY agree with that comment. You see it on T.V., they equate racism with white supremacy groups like the KKK and Aryan Nation. To them, racism can only be overt. You have to be burning crosses or commiting hate crimes. They also portray racists as working or lower class ignorant people-what is considered "white trash." Racism knows no class, sex, or level of intelligence, but to think that it does makes many feel that they are not held accountable and they are redeemed from that.

You know what, I never understood why they like to skip over the injustices that "so-called Whites" have committed against other races in history. How can a race go on for so long literally "romanticizing" their history? It's not as if it's a secret. Are they scared to face that fact??? And these injustices were not and are not committed just in this country, but all over the world. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's real.
Koala, this is an excellent post. You need to write a book about this.
