lol!!
I'm waiting for serious responses.
Don't worry...I'll wait.
I figure blacks as a group have no more or no less racists among them than the rest of us, possibly a higher percentage, but it really doesn't matter.
As an anecdotal story- an acquaintance of mine (white woman) was a business partner to a black woman who was her friend, in a joint partnership owning a health care service provider about 15 years ago. For whatever reason (unknown to me) they had a discussion about racism and the black woman made the statement that "deep down, every black person hates every white person". Obviously that can't be true, especially in the light that the two were business partners, but this exchange made it apparent to me that some of the hatred is so deep-seated that is may truly be a subconscious phenomenon and so ingrained that there is no thought or reasonable consideration given to the issue in some cases.
Most cannot really express the feelings they have very well (and who can blame them, after all, they are unprecedented).
An excellent example of this is:

I've been beating this drum for almost 10 years and wonder if anyone pays any attention.
I doubt it.
