[quote:Darth Hitman:MV8yMDg1ODU5XzM1MTIxNzk1X0U5QjBEMzBC] Coming from a white man, the answer is easy to find just see the drone killings of kids in the middle east...where's the outrage? Having said that, most people of color that bring up racism only fuel the fires of it even going as far as to coin a term that has no meaning..."reverse racism". I didn't realize racism was when a black individual was effected negatively due to the color of his skin. Racism is color blind, it does not specifically state the color of the person that it has to be against, only that someone is being discriminated against due to their color. Look up the definition of it. 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism Reverse racism would then be NOT being discriminated against due to color.

hypothetically speaking
what if the newton ct school shooting happened at a mostly black school in the south such as alabama or mississippi?
and all of the little children who died were black kids whos mothers might be living off welfare or living in some project housing in a poor area.
would anyone care? if 26 little black children died? would the media make as big of a deal.
if you notice the majority of the children killed in ct were yuppie white kids with educated parents. some of theri parents were rich with top jobs
they put the photo of the most aryan looking kid on the front. that little blue eyed blonde haired girl. her pic seems to be enlarged on the front. she had the blondest hair out of them and big blue eyes
there was only 1 black child that was a victim. rest were white
its a sad thing. sad situation but i wonder why does every article have the blue eyed blonde girl on the front
does that make more sympathy from americans over it. that prescious little rich white kids died.
do you think if those were photos of 26 little black or mexican kids that people would care that much?
