We're talking about racism itself in the year 2014, not persecution in the days of old. Stop moving goal posts around to gain leverage you couldn't gain otherwise.

Funny how even some black cops seem to feel the same way in some situations. I've definitely heard more than one black cop refer to the local black district as "n***ertown" and/or its inhabitants as "n******s" without smiling.
And your point? Shows you how cops of any color are swayed by the institutional racism.

What it shows is that not everyone wears rose colored glasses and paints everyone of a certain demographic as merely "victims" of the white man.

I already mentioned physical assault as one of the few actual instances of black on white racism.
Not to diminish the sh*t you had gone through, but was your skin color the only reason why you were hassled? I got a lot of crap while in school, and it was from assh*le jocks and bullies who all targeted me for my status as a schoolyard outcast.

In my case, it was one of those well intentioned but ill thought out social policy experiments where the school district, in its infinite wisdom, chose to put the only second tier gifted program in the district in the worst school in the worst neighborhood of the city, perhaps thinking some sort of osmosis would occur. Sadly, that theory was proven false, and in the meantime, all the white, Jewish, and Asian kids in said program all went around with targets on our backs from the neighborhood kids. I get my revenge by taking their women.
Really though, try and think about what you're saying here, which is that intent is less important than impact; you're saying that the guy that tries to kill someone with a baseball bat because that's all he had is somehow morally superior to the guy who uses a gun, when in reality both guys are just as bad, one was just better equipped.

I do believe impact is worse than intent, so I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree. Again, I'm not trying to diminish the sh*t you've gone through, as I fully understand what it feels like to be bullied and ridiculed.
