(cont) One who only acknowledges the part of the truth that supports his prejudices, but is unwilling to acknowledge the part of the truth that conflicts with it , isn't interested in the "whole truth". I know that the vast majority of the white population today don't harbor anti-minority attitudes, they treat people as individuals, according to his own deeds and behavior. I believe this to be true of blacks as well. Those who instead judge people by groups, are the ones who keep racism alive.

There are people in all races, religions, ethnic groups or political groups who aren't content unless they have an "enemy', another group that they can vilify or denigrate and stereotype as evil or less moral, intelligent etc. Stereotyping is the most common tool people use to justify their hatred and denigration of an entire group. People who choose to hate always point to those facts that coincide with their stereotype, but hypocritically deny all facts that conflict with that stereotype(cont)

Please show me the scientific evidence that the rate of heart disease/failure/attacks among racial minorities is a direct result of them being stressed out about race relations.

This guy is pushing a political agenda, not science. He's a bad analyst and practices poor science with baseless claims that a child could see through. Also, in what universe are there Whites in every community? This guy probably hasn't left campus since he got there at 18.

Fuck white people

This professor is a retard. He will look mighty out of place when I drop him off in Inglewood at 1 in the morning.

The little naive wimp would then have to face racial reality. He probably lives on campus in an attack. The guy has no clue. What a fool. White people are a shinking minority on this planet. I can tell this professor doesn't travel much.

You shouldn't call white people racist. It's offensive and sterotypical. I mean if white people can't call black people niggers, they can't call us racist. Fair is fair.

[phazon100]

@UltraProle21 I don't. I'm proud of being white, and you aren't. You need a slap in the face. Nonwhites kill whites everyday.
