Allstonian:

The bottom line on racism in America is as follows: if you are Black, and are harassed in a White area, it’s racism; if you are White, and are harassed in a Black area, it’s “well, you shouldn’t have been there in the first place.”

The hypocrisy is glaring. Someone please tell me this is not so.

How many people are “harassed in a black area”? (Whatever a “black area” is). Vice versa?
What’s a “white area”?

How did this even come up at all in this discussion?

I think you watch too much television.
You need to get out more. The vast majority of people (white and black) do not behave like this. It’s not a good hypothetical.
