The phrase 'Black Racism" is typed into the search engines over 50,000 times a month. Periodically you hear from some whites that black people are racist. When you hear this statement you immediately know that the person stating this doesn't know the definition of racism.
By definition, racism is the capacity/power to translate prejudice/bigotry into custom, policy or law. Black people have not had the predisposition or the power to oppress white people in this country. Hence the notion of "Black racism" is a contradiction in terms.
When Barack Obama spoke in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race but on the fundamental path by which Americas can work together to pursue a better future, you shouldn't have been surprised to see some on the right and in the corporate media continue to focus on what divides us as is shown in this video.

I have searched for the word 'nigger' before. Why? Because I am racist? No.
[You don't even know what race I, or the people typing in those search terms are.]
I have typed in the word 'nigger' to see who would be writing that word and the reason for doing so. It's called curiosity. There are millions of other people doing the exact same thing every day. Please drop your ridiculous biased 'argument' and pay attention. Or at least get an argument that makes at least a little sense.

Well "me" while you may be searching out of curiosity, many others type in the complete phrase "nigger Obama" based on their primary view of Obama. The recent Standford survey bears this out. But to help you better understand whats on the minds of people when they type in the words "black" or "white" use Google key word search and see for yourself the phrases that are associated with each.

By the way you must have been thinking about Jesus being Black for you to have arrived at this site. If you are still in denial after you see the Google search results, there is nothing more that I can say. Thanks for your option. If you have facts to the contrary, please share them with us.
