  Yep there is. That was one of the points I was trying to make. Even at this day and age ,if I'm walking down the street and a group of younger blacks are walking up the same side of the street,my adrenaline gets going and I start sizing up my target of who I am going to hit first if I am attacked. It's natural for me because I have been in several black and white confrontations growing up.

  I don't see a difference. Both are making judgments based solely on skin color.
  
  Again, do people realize Sterling's employees are mostly black and not just the players? For being such a racist, he sure as shit doesn't act on it.

  There are more people crying about this x1,000,000 than any amount of "crying" I've ever done on race issues. When are blacks going to stop crying about other people's opinions and focus on bettering themselves and their community?

It's impossible to tell the level of 'racism' experienced by any party but I can tell you that I've experienced discrimination for being white multiple times in my life. Instead of crying about it to the media, I simply go out and prove them wrong. Why can't black people do this instead of crying and blaming others? Stereotypes exist for a reason; when are blacks going to change that?

  I have been subject to reverse discrimination. It pisses me off to no end . That's why I try and always be real when talking about race issues. Nobody knows what it's like to walk in another man's shoes.

  Then stop wearing your KKK shirt.

  i know people that grew up spending no time around any blacks at all. they can only base it on what they see on tv/movies or the six oclock news. people are often scared about what they dont know. I also would be wary of a group of black guys in a dark alley because being black i probably more likely to have problems with them. doesnt make you racist. a racist is a person who thinks they are better than another group just by being born. they judge a whole group by the actions of of few or by the actions of the worst part of a race of people.
  
  it would be like someone saying i dont want my kids going to school with white children because they may shoot or stab up the school.
  
  he even further showed his racism by saying matt kemp might have been ok because he was lighter skinned but no on magic cause he was too dark..thats pure racism bro.

  Like the president of our country?
  
  I've been subjected to racism as well, but I'm not going to cry about it 24-7.

  even tho i knew it would happen i cant believe anyone would defend this guy..just condemn it an move on...why is this so complicated?

  Why is there a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
  Is there a National Association for the Advancement of White People
  Is there a National Association for the Advancement of Asian People
  Is there a National Association for the Advancement of Red Neck People
  
  Is the fact that the NAACP exist an indication of the groups intention to be racist?

  The African American community as a whole has a reputation of crying race all the time. The best part is somehow racism is only one sided in their eyes.
  
  A few months ago my friend and I were walking down a highly populated street. We cross paths with a group of black people. One of the guy says "hey watch out guys, we don't want to bump into the white people."
  
  My friend and I LOL'd and just moved on. I can't imagine what the reaction would have been if I said "hey watch out guys, we don't want to bump into the black people."

  I don't see many if at all defending it?? Most think he is a racist, but god forbid we look at this with a wider lens. It's bullshit what his gf did.

  No one is defending him. Most people just don't really see it as such a huge deal. The guy is a known racist and he made a racist comment. He's more than likely a scumbag POS human being, doesn't mean we should all flip out over it.

  im sorry that happened to you. i mean i could go all day to the things that have happened to me in my life given the fact that i was the only black person in my school district from 2nd-12th grade. thing is i judge each person as an individual and recognize that there are good and bad people of all races. period.

  Because white people don't want to deal with the black hordes who have nothing better to do than sit at home, collect their welfare checks, and ruin the lives of others via race baiting. It's much easier to just condemn Sterling rather than have a logical debate about the opinion of someone else and understanding the context. Political correctness is a joke.

  Except you don't because you support Affirmative action laws and anti-discrimination laws that label all whites as racists that need to be coerced into giving blacks jobs/opportunities. Why can't blacks just earn things in life rather than having everything handed to them because of their skin color?
