No more than blacks are. Racism is a feeling that you are superior to another person because of their race.
Being AFRAID of a person because of their race doesn't seem racist at all. It is an acknowledgement that blacks commit crimes at a rate far greater than any other racial group.
That's just reality.
So then it's an admission that whites, in general, are AFRAID of blacks, yes?
Note how the subject uses the phrase "seem racist", emphasis on the word "SEEM."
Whites have been afraid of blacks ever since slavery days when they rightfully, in my opinion, lived in fear that their slaves would rise up and kill them while they slept in their beds at night.
When you spend your life violating the basic human rights of another human being and doing everything within your power to oppress them under a doctrine whose falsity can be proven simply by the fact that had any of the things that were done to the slaves had been done to a white person, the white community would have insisted upon swift and fatal justice, it makes sense that you would live in fear of retribution.
A point in case is when whites torched and burned to the ground a community of Tusla, Oklahoma known as the Black Wall Street for the alleged assault of a white girl. All accounts indicated that she had not been assaulted, that she was bumped into by a black teen.
Never in the history of this country have black people been allowed to demand justice in this manner without being charged and convicted of the appicable crimes yet none of the white rioters ever faced justice.
This is the history of the white race in the United States, these types of acts and more, sometimes far more heinous crimes. If you want to view black people through a lens that doesn't include this history and provides no understanding of it, that's a failing on your part and the part of every other racist white person who laments the alleged "racism" of blacks which in most cases is a reaction to the institutional racism that has been practiced in this country against those of us of African descent since it's inception.
In fact many of the members posting on this site crying about their fear of being replaced or of the white race becoming a minority sound as if they fear being treated the way the white race treated black people.
The
Tulsa race massacre (also called the
Tulsa race riot, the
Greenwood Massacre, or the
Black Wall Street Massacre) of 1921
[9][10][11][12][13][14] took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the
Greenwood District in
Tulsa,
Oklahoma.
[1] It has been called "the single worst incident of
racial violence in American history."
[15] The attack, carried out on the ground and from private aircraft, destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the district – at that time the wealthiest black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street".
More than 800 people were admitted to hospitals and as many as 6,000 black residents were interned at large facilities, many for several days.
[16][17] The Oklahoma Bureau of Vital Statistics officially recorded 36 dead, but the
American Red Cross declined to provide an estimate. A
2001 state commission examination of events was able to confirm 39 dead, 26 black and 13 white, based on contemporary autopsy reports, death certificates and other records.
[1]:114 The commission gave overall estimates from 75–100 to 150–300 dead.
[1]:13
[1]:23
The massacre began over Memorial Day weekend after 19-year-old
Dick Rowland, a black
shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, the 17-year-old white
elevator operator of the nearby Drexel Building. He was taken into custody. A subsequent gathering of angry local
whites outside the courthouse where Rowland was being held, and the spread of rumors he had been
lynched, alarmed the local
black population, some of whom arrived at the courthouse armed. Shots were fired and twelve people were killed: ten white and two black.
[18] As news of these deaths spread throughout the city, mob violence exploded.
[2] White rioters rampaged through the black neighborhood that night and morning killing men and burning and looting stores and homes, and only around noon the next day
Oklahoma National Guard troops managed to get control of the situation by declaring martial law. About 10,000 black people were left homeless, and property damage amounted to more than $1.5 million in real estate and $750,000 in personal property (equivalent to $32.25 million in 2019).
So just a question. How long will ewe hammer white people living today for the days of slavery. I was not alive then were you? Were you alive in 1921 Oklahoma? I was not. I never owned a slave, never even thought about it. Never thought about asking a black person to leave a room because whites were there. If you truly abhor racism you will not accept it in anyone.
Where you alive during the revolutionary war? Pearl Harbor? Seems it's OK to keep remembering those things, but those days were bad for us as black people. What about this MAGA garbage, you guys want everybody to return to something that you were not alive to see yet you want to talk crazy.
Then don’t talk to me won’t hurt me a damn bit. I was born at the end of world war two. So you can see I am getting old. I was alive through the Korean War, Vietnam war, I was alive and survived a volcano eruption, a twister, a cat five hurricane, I was born when “somebody did something” on 9-11. My first little husband died when I was just 19 and I had a one month old son. So why don’t you stop screaming at me for what happened in the 1800 a whatever else you want to complain about. I told you I never owned a slave, it never crossed my mind that I wanted one So you never were a slave but you can’t seem to move forward, you rage and hate because of someone else’s. Memories or life. Hell man we’re stuck here right here right=t now in a pandemic trying not to die and all you want to do is rage about an z’orange man.” You don’t give a shit about ending racism and bigotry. You have a vested interest in keeping it.going it would seem. You make me tired. Go do something with your life.
Well you really need to drop the white fragility lady. You lived during segregation, you benefitted from segregation, you live white today and whites get to do things we don't. Like ***** about anti white racism when there is none. Or tell everybody else that their concerns don't matter and that the only history that is important to remember or discuss is yours.
You were alive when blacks could not vote, when blacks could not go places, when blacks were denied jobs whites were given, when blacks were not allowed to live in places because of the government and if blacks tried, whites terrorized them. Let me give yo a few examples of what you have lived through besides 9-11.
In 1951 a black man named Harvey Clark and his family black family tried to move in to Cicero in Chicago, the police tried to remove them from the home they purchased. Later on a mob of over 4,000 whites busted into his home destroyed everything in it,. threw his furniture out and burned it in the yard. Clark had an injunction because he had been threated with death by whites in that community. But the police did nothing.
The #Cicero Race Riot occurred in 1951. It was one of the worst race riots in the country. It is estimated that 4,000 whites attacked an apartment building that housed one single #black family in a neighborhood in Cicero, Cook County, Illinois. Mrs. DeRose owned an apartment in an all-white...

More than four years ago (in “Homes for Aryans Only,” May 1947), Charles Abrams first reported in these pages on the dangerous pattern of segregation in urban housing which was
www.commentarymagazine.com
In Philadelphia during the first half of 1955 there were 213 acts of viol4ence against blacks by whites and they were done to intimidate and terrorize black's so they would not move into white communities.
In 1964 when blacks tried renting an apartment in a mostly white Chicago neighborhood, whites vandalized the apartment, throwing rocks. The police went into the apartment and removed all the furniture and told the renters they had been evicted.
At the same time in Detroit, there were over 200 acts of violence against blacks v\by whites who terrorized black families so they would not move to the suburbs. Then whit6e like y7ou guys want to talk shit about blacks in Detroit.
In Los Angeles during the war an entire black family was murdered when their home was bombed. From 1950-1965 there were over 100 bombings of black residences in Los Angeles..
In 1987 .Another black family tried moving into Cicero, and aced gunfire and firebombs,
For the first 5 years after WW2 in just Chicago, there were 317 incidents by whites against blacks who tried living in or near mostly white communities.
And before we have to read the stupid refrain about how this only happens in democratic cities, it happened all over the country.
In 1985 in a Louisville suburb, Robert and Martha Marshall purchased a home. ON THE NIGHT THEY MOVED IN their house was firebombed. One month later whites burnt down the house. The police allowed it to happen. Because the police department in Sylvania Kentucky were members of the Klan. 1985.
I can keep going in order for you to understand that our grievance left slavery in 1865 and that only you racist whites want to make this about slavery because you want to deny how your asses are still practicing the same motherfucking racism that has always been.
You as a white woman even have been able to benefit from our fight for equality because you get to be considered for affirmative action and you white women have benefitted the most from the policy. So drop the racism. You better start understanding who the hell you are talking to in here. We are black, educated, and we are professionals. I earned a masters degree in sociology. I ran a not for profit organization that I built from the ground up with a friend. So you better put some respect in your voice when you talk to me lady because what is tired are people like you.
