"Look through the deceptive borders, drawn by racists in Europe, to divide and conquer." - Malcolm X
"Reverse racism" is a brainwashing trick that white Americans like to play so that they can flip the script and take the strobelight of blame off of themselves. In fact, a black person can't be racist - by definition of the word - because as minorities, we have no overlaying power over anybody else and therefore cannot enact any harmful will upon entire races of people. Sure, people of all colors can be prejudice but you have to be in a position of power to substancially enact prejudice. Black hatred does not effect the lives of whites.
It's absolutely laughable to me when alot of white people call me a "reverse racist" for speaking the truth about the hypocrisy and double-standards perpetrated by a large part of white America. If I'm the "reverse racist" then who was the original racist to begin with? Exactly. Point proven.
There was a time, in particular, when I was on the swings at a local park - at the age of twelve - and got questioned and patted down by white police officers for no other reason than being black, tall, and underage. THAT'S racial profiling. And, like any other black man in America, there are plenty more stories just like those in our individual histories. These are the experiences that minorites have to grow up with and when we speak about them, we're told to shut up and stop whining. Buy it's experiences like such that make people like myself tough to the realities, and in that way, I suppose that I'm grateful for the profiling that I've fallen victim to over the years because only until events are personally experienced do we understand the dynamics of them fully.
