Yes racism exists in both directions, yes in Houston a black guy in the room would be viewed as inferior regardless of education, dress, professionalism et cetera more often than would be believed. The mentality would be he is a “decent” black guy but still a black guy. I’m not endorsing this mentality.

Well, I am sure he knows better than both of us…who live in this city.[/quote]
Yes of course, damn yankees. Some times people disregard things they just don’t want to believe which could be a good thing here. FWIW to the thread, I’m white. Scandinavian/German descent with blue eyes, blondish brown hair the whole aryan bit. I’m not just sympathizing with X. The sentiment is real.[/quote]
What’s really funny is…when I say that…I am an “angry black man with a chip on hi shoulder”.
Why haven’t they said the same about you?
We both said the exact same thing. In fact, you were even more blatant…yet where are all of the people arguing with you that you are just seeing things?
Where are all of the posts about how “angry” you are even though nothing you wrote was angry?
The thing is, they don’t see how they are using stereotypes right now to come to these conclusions.
You just proved that.
They still won’t accept that I’m sure.[/quote] they are hiding guilt behind pointed fingers. Most white people have to override a learned but ingrained dislike for blacks. It’s like the first reaction is “that guy is black” and then “but he carries himself well and his pants fit, he could be ok I will him a chance.” This sentiment is fading with each new generation though. For what its worth, as unfair as it is, whites form their stereotypes bases on what they see and hear on the radio and tv for the most part. And the images put forth aren’t stellar. People who mingle know better but we definitely have white and black neighborhoods, churches et cetera and on both sides the other is the bogeyman. You are correct.
