White people can be racist. There is a long historic trauma commit by whites against BIPOC people. For the United States the main trauma is chattel slavery and the theft of American Indian lands. Yet, this by no means ends here. Failed reconstruction, human zoos, American Indian boarding schools, spectacles of violence where white people would take limbs of Black people and hang as trophies, Jim crow, segregation, mass incarnation, and much more.

Native Americans and African tribes took scalps, held human sacrifices, had slaves, and in some cases still have slaves to this day. You don't seem very concerned about it, so I assume you don't really care about any of those things on any substantive level. Side: Absolutely not

I feel that racism is alive and well, has always existed and always will exist. There will always be those sanctimonious virtue signallers who will attribute every black crime and failure to R-A-C-I-S-M. To state, either through feigned morality or blind stupidity, that we can, and should create a society in which all ethnic groups can live in racial harmony is akin to telling people to believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. White people in most African nations, such as South Africa and Zimbabwe are unashamedly discriminated against savagely and relentlessly by blacks. Passing and implementing laws to try to change attitudes in either the black African Nations or the white dominated countries of the West is at best only a cosmetic exercise which may have some limited success but will never win over the fears and prejudices that the majority of whites feel for blacks and blacks have for whites. So, sooner or later we are all going to have to accept that blacks & whites do not mix harmoniously and by pretending that we can all get along together in a big fraternal melting pot is only prolonging the misery caused by the fictitious narrative that multicultural assimilation is achievable. All we have to do is take a look at this issue both currently as well as historically and we will clearly see the SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH that, GLOBALLY blacks & whites do not and never have merged into each other's society without serious cultural conflict.

I feel that racism is alive and well, has always existed and always will exist. Nonsense, you dirty thieving pikey. Racism will always be your excuse for why thieving tinkers like you can't keep your hands in your pockets. Meanwhile, half the community are without their TV sets. Side: Absolutely not
Anyone capable of unemotional judgement and dispassionate assessment will comprehend that racial conflict has always existed and always will. Your attempt at involving me in one of your tit-for-tat national insult sessions has failed. Andy will have to be more determined to expunge filth like you from his forum. Side: Nope

No, your wrong about racism always existing. I'll give several examples. In Adam Ruin's Everything racism worked only one way when Columbus arrived at the Caribbean. The Indigenous peoples were friendly and not racist. Second, it was simply too difficult to survive in medieval times, thus racism was dropped. Get this, racism is a product of affluence. We have enough wealth, shelter, and food that we can afford the ballast of racism. Therefore, racism is a product of the colonial or renaissance era. Before 1400 race wasn't really an issue. Instead, religion was the dividing factor. Friendly non-racist Indigenous peoples.

Historically whites subjugated blacks and transported them to the four corners of the world where they were sold as slaves. That's not racism? Racial conflict between Asians and Blacks existed long before the white/black racism of today. In medieval times interaction between whites and blacks was virtually zero. Side: Nope
Historically whites subjugated blacks and transported them to the four corners of the world where they were sold as slaves. That's not racism? Racial conflict between Asians and Blacks existed long before the white/black racism of today and recent history. In medieval times interaction between whites and blacks was virtually zero. There were no blacks in Feudal Europe and certainly no black Vikings, nor blacks with ginger hair, (ha), tilling the soils of Ireland. Immediately the two races white/black interfaced racism began. So, since racism between blacks and whities began the moment it was possible it has always existed. Side: Nope
