[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3644915, member: 24302"] As long as race relations are used as a way to get votes, on either side, we're never going to get past it. A young Black man meeting his white girlfriend's father will experience racism in many cases. There's been many times I've been waited on by a Black cashier who acted like she wanted to spit in my face even though I smiled and said hello, and still wished her a nice day. People have been conditioned to believe certain things, and their beliefs are reinforced by bad actors. The difference today is white liberals will tell you that racist father is despicable, but a white guy getting treated badly is basically told "well, what do you expect after 400 years of terrible treatment?" Society today is demanding better treatment of minorities, and rightfully so. But seems just being a white man makes you suspect unless you very quickly go on record how much you love everything and everyone except white people. One must atone for sins that one hasn't committed. Frankly it's been refreshing traveling in the developing world where I'm not seen through that prism. America has swung too far in one direction, and is immolating itself on political correctness. [/QUOTE]
