I wasn't raised with any kind of racism or hatred. I don't and never have hated anyone. I don't agree with some people, I don't like some people but I don't hate. The closest I come to racism is stereotyping for example I will be more cautious if I'm walking down an alley and I see a man walking down it then if I saw a woman. On the other hand I have been denied state services when if I was native American or Hispanic I would have received them I have been called a racist by men and woman of many ethnicity's for things as simple as not knowing the name of the African president that was imprisoned (Nelson Mandela). I was sixteen by the way. I believe these accusations would not have been made against me if I were not white and that is racism to me. Side: yes

Assuming you're referring to 'Ciara' the singer, that quote was a reference to white people not knowing what it's like to be the shoes of blacks. Which leads me to wonder, are you putting it down because you want to push my buttons? Or truthfully, somehow, dispute that racism isn't real by putting this quote out of context? Side: yes
