From what I see, at this time, is Black people, as a whole, being the most racist people in the Country. I don't think it's close, either.

I think the level of racial resentment depends upon where you live and where you go. Every place has a history that carries over. Personally, I've met far more white people who were racist than black people but I know there are areas that probably wouldn't be he case.

But racism isn't such a black and white thing (no pun intended). There are racists who spout shite and are hateful but who do nothing. There are racists who would actively (rather than passively) harm a person of a different color. I'm less worried about Bubba White and Bubba Black calling someone of a different color a name than I am Jon White and Jon Black who beat, kill, murder, rape, intimidate, harass whether solo or as members of a hate group.

Neither form is good and their are shades in between but I'd rather deal with smack talker than the guy who is willing to deny an apt/job or beat me to death because he doesn't like my color or my friends' color.
