This is how discussions of racism between black people and white people tend to go [View all]

Black people: "Racism is a major problem in this context because of x, y, and z."

White people: "Geez, no one owes you a damn thing! Why don't you all stop being so sensitive and PC, quit using the Race Card, and take some personal responsibility for your lives!"

Black people: "Hey, what you are saying sounds racist - not cool!"

White people: "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME RACIST DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY BLACK FRIENDS I HAVE??!!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE THE REAL RACISTS!!!!!"
