Really? You haven't seen or experience any kind of racism towards blacks in this country. Take a trip to the south and visit a local dive bar. The N word is alive and well and the confederate flag is still flying in many peoples minds, it is pretty sickening. Or just explore this board for a bit you wont have to go very farIt goes both ways. There are problems in black culture that perpetuate the stereotypes and there are also deep rooted prejudice in our culture that has not yet been filtered outSee this is a perfect example of how disconnected you are. You try and take some random events or moments of history and use them for your argument but you ignore the reality which I actually think you know is true. I just told you that I am Italian, I have a huge family of Italian Americans. I have never felt an inch of prejudice and I've lived in half a dozen different cities all around the US. I've never heard of any of my family members or friends experiencing any prejudice because of their heritage. Yet i've seen and heard a ton of prejudice against blacks. There were 2 black kids in my High School and I saw how they were treated by some, not because of who they were but because of how they looked... Those with light colored skin do not experience that at the same level as blacks do. If you can't understand that then I give up
The biggest singular lynching was of your Italians.
March 14, 1891, lynchings - Wikipedia
Why do Puerto Ricans get mentioned as victims of the system, or for sensitivity training but not Italians?
Italians have clearly had worse discrimination against them including that lynching.
Who Puerto Ricans don't seem to have any prejudiced stereotypes, or terms against them like Italians.
Okay, but the question is do people bring on those prejudices against blacks or do blacks bring that onto themselves? After all, prejudice means to pre-judge.
Care to give me any examples of that?
