This is what I'm talking about. If black people, mexicans, asians, etc... do not like white people for some reason that's not viewed as being racist and it's acceptable. That's a stupid concept but it's one that the majority of our country has embraced for some reason.

That depends on who you're dealing with. Racism is wrong either way. I don't feel that me not liking all white people is okay, while having the same mindset being used against me is wrong. It's wrong either way. Some people do have that mindset, and it's not right, but of course everyone doesn't think like that. I understand that some people use their race as an excuse for their shortcomings and whatnot, but racism does still exist. I've met several people who think that everything is equal in the US and it's not. Equality is just a human thought, an idea, and it will probably never be reached anywhere as a nation. Sometimes people are just too different or close-minded to accept others. I wouldn't say that majority of our country has went down that path, but that's just my opinion. It's who you're dealing with.
