So...you're saying that the United States hasn't changed at all in over 200 years? Dude...folks used to believe the Earth was flat, too...that doesn't make it relevant today. It's 2015, son, not 1815.

Yeah, that's what I figured.  Just making sure that Nike didn't have some kind of "price fixing" policy to boost sales at all stores by preventing one store from undercutting, like some companies do...a fruit vendor comes to mind...

I can neither confirm nor deny that statement.

So, are you saying that white people keep black people down just because it's in their nature to keep black people down?  It sounds like you are categorizing people based on their skin color.  I think that's called racism, dude.  Just sayin'...

You really believe that?  You really believe all us "white folks" are engaged in some huge conspiracy to keep the black man down?  Because that's sure what it sounds like you're saying.

Okay...in that case, white people aren't the problem, then...rich, powerful white people are the problem.  So how do we go about taking away their wealth and power?  Because if what you say is true, it seems that's the only realistic way to stop this hate and racism from oppressing minorities. ...

I hear what you're saying, but just because white people are the majority in the United States doesn't mean that all racists are white. From Merriam-Webster: racism (n): a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent...

I sometimes wish the same thing for California.

Wow...your former coworker sounds like a real *******. FWIW, I used to live in one of those "Section 8" neighborhoods in the DC area back in the 1990s, and yes, whites were a small minority there, and none of the folks, white or black, I knew there were smoking weed (well, maybe one guy)...a...

Good question...do the stores have to get "permission" from Nike to sell certain shoes at a discount or something?

I've never denied that racism exists, and I've never denied that different people have different life experiences.  As for treating people fairly, see my other post.

You said that racists want to be you.  I do not want to be you.  Therefore, I am not racist.  QED.

That's just it...I am a decent and upstanding person, and I do treat everyone fairly, regardless of skin color, sexual preference, etc.  I'm no bigot...my parents didn't raise me that way.  I'm also quite familiar with anthropology, and the origin of different skin colors. It seems like you...

Ah, yes...the old standby...only white people can be racist.  Damn, I really thought you were more educated than that...sadly, I was mistaken.

You claim to know "white people" but like some of you have said, how could you really know how we think or what we feel?  YOU'RE NOT WHITE.  Hey, just using your "logic". BTW...as far as wanting to be black...why would I want to be, as so many of you have cried, a second-class citizen, subject...

Well, I'm all for that, but be warned...not all racists are white.

No ****, **** Tracy...I know there are solutions that can be implemented by those in power...what did you want ME (the so-called SWS/racist/whatever) as an individual to do about discrimination against blacks?  I am not in a position of political power, so I don't have much influence other than...

What words, specifically?  Please elaborate.

Okay, okay...we get it...black people are discriminated against...fine, no argument there. What the **** do you want us to do about it, though?  All I hear is cries of "racism" and "oppression" with no real solutions offered other than ******** like "white folks need to stop being so racist." ...

Gotcha.
