Racist

Don’t you recognize it?

It’s called an inferiority complex.  And, yes, it has black Americans in a tight grip.

I've heard it from so many people, I just tune it out now. We had reverse discrimination starting a few year back, now we have reverse racism. Attributing such negative attitudes and characteristics to all (or at least most) white people is racism, no matter how you slice it.

My point is that the phenomenon has an origin.

Might not be an inferiority complex proper. I've been of the opinion for years that its classic narcissism with the associated projection and denial.

For creatures like Dyson, sure. For the normal black person who only has a feeling that it's racist to criticize Obama and other black Dems in power, it's more likely to not be narcissism, though the projection and denial are spot on.

People who are racist are generally not critical thinkers black or white so when you make an educated point on how obama is wrong they cannot comprehend that you yourself are no prejudging someone based on race. Some black Americans never left the democrats plantation and some have, when growing up in a neighborhood on the eastside of detroit i was surrounded by democrats who believed you should hate white america, have government entitlement, not criticize any so called black leader, now when i go back to that same neighborhood they are still angry, the neighborhood is poorer and still filled with democrats.

I always have to speak up when I see the term "reverse" this or "reverse" that.

There's no such thing as "reverse discrimination". Not in the context used here (and most everywhere else).

Racism is racism, discrimination is discrimination, regardless of who is doing it.

Using the term "reverse" just serves to reinforce the idea that such things are only inflicted on women and minorities, which is obvious hogwash.

Well said. I think that the "powers that be" on the left are using the cry of "racism" to drive a wedge between races. My question is, how can we all fight this attempt to divide and conquer?

I as a Black American I cannot stand the word african American because you are putting a foriegn country before America and i notice a lot of Americans who happen to be black who are not using the word african American to define themselves I am an American first, i was born in the the state of michigan that is a fact. I am not denying the fact that i am black but i want to put my country which i love first i was born an American and one day i will die a proud American that is also a fact! PS why would anybody who is black in America put africa first when 90% of all of the slaves were sold by africans to the new world, thank god and happy to be here in America! What is self hating about being proud of who you are and not trying to be something that you are not, i am not an african, african society is based on tribal lineage which does not include me because i am a god fearing, meat eating, beer drinking, gun loving, patriotic American Period!
