Racism - A Two Way Street.
163 Answers
Having been labelled on here as a racist, I would deny that claim most fervently for a variety of reasons, although I can easily see how somebody may come to that conclusion.
Racism, in whatever form it takes, needs to be called out, as it is am evil that denies our fellow man the very dignity that we ourselves demand and expect.
Most incidents of racism are directed by whites towards non whites, and therefore gain the headlines and the popular appreciation of the whole subject.
But I declare that racism is a two way street, and that racism in many forms is directed not only towards individual white people or groups of white people, but towards the very institutions and traditions that are part of our accepted way of life, and that such reverse racism, is equally dangerous and also needs to be confronted vigorously whenever it appears under whatever current guise it has adapted.
Do you agree with this, or have any constructive comment to offer?

all sides of the divide zacs, i discovered that some Black people could be just as prejudiced as whites, that came as something of a shock, to my 17 year old self. Then again i didn't come across any black people because where i lived there weren't any, or so it seemed. It was only clubs and soul music where i got to meet other people from other communities.

I posted on one thread that even young people can be racist and got a shocked "Really" in reply. Sins of the parents. //
Sadly, that is true.
My wife was Deputy Head in a Catholic inner city school in the early eighties, and it had a majority of Muslim children in its intake.
The overt racist hostility she received from the top form boys, for being white and being a woman, was shocking, and they certainly didn't learn that at the school.
