Life Racism is alive and doing well - Page 3

Some of you may have noticed that I moved from Olathe KS. to Palm Beach FL. There are numerous differences, but the biggest one for me is the racism. It is rampant, and EVERYWHERE!

The black folk hate the whites. The whites hate the blacks. The Mexicans refuse to talk English. The Hatians hate everyone but Hatian.

The New York/Philly transplants are very vocal about their racism. I expected that. But Black children bullying and verbally abusing white children, just for being white? That one shocked me.

This alone has really tarnished my feelings about my move significantly.

I NEVER experienced this in the KC Metro. Was I blinded? Nieve? Are any of you experiencing racism?

Here in Arizona the public educational system doesn't exactly cover itself in glory either, bunch of no habal englise drains on the system mixed in with some failed school children. They are actually cutting funding here next year for full time kindergarten in public schools. Can you imagine? Now the kids won't even start to learn to read and write until first grade. They continue to fall further and further behind their private school counterparts.

Banjo music makes me VERY nervous.....

Maybe, but don't forget that Mexican isn't a race.

Blacks pretty much hate anyone not black ... whites,jewish,puerto rican. Jews are the killer of Jesus and using money to control the world illuminati style.

Asians are racist as hell too ... they consider themselves the BEST race and people of other races are "mutts". They are almost Hitler Aryan in their attitude about their racist supremacy and the need to keep their race pure by marrying within their own race.

of course not ALL ...

Tell us how you really feel.

Doesn't mean they aren't racist.

I only experienced limited racism (mainly in extremely rural parts) in Missouri. About 15 months ago i moved to North Carolina and racism is rampart here. It really opened my eyes as to how far we really have to go as a society.

Well it helps that KS is about 95% white. Race conflicts tend to happen when there's enough of each race to hold their ground.
