Sure they have, just not on a large scale. One need look no further than Howard Stern to find a prominent example. (I realize I gave you something to nitpick here, so have at it if you like)
Quote:If there is a hate crime committed against a white person by a black person based on race then I agree that the black person should be punished.
If a black person oppresses a white person in some way based on race (housing discrimination, employment discrimination, lending discrimination, etc) then the black person should be punished.
I am pleased to hear that.
Quote:But one of the privileges of being a white person is that we don't have to deal with systemic oppression based on our race. We control a grossly disproportionate percentage of the wealth and power in this country. So that is why I don't cry about being a "victim of racism".
Who said anything about a "victim of racism" other than yourself? I merely stated, correctly, that we must treat all racism as unacceptable if we're going to confront the problem. A black supremacist should be just as unacceptable as a white supremacist. It honestly seems like you're arguing with me just to argue with me.
