Here are some racist messages you see all the time, online, in college courses, by politicians:

"Whites are privileged."

"We need diversity! Only people who are not white are diverse."

"This is Aztlan."

That anonymity thing just makes one realize how racist some(or many) people are. And that's just plain sad. Of course, some say that those [insert political party here] immediately go to the race card. This article shows that just isn't so. The 'race card' is being played for a legitimate reason. Because there are racists.

Shame on those anonymous people who use that anonymity to spew their hateful racism.

Freedom of speech must never be tampered with, I view this as an opportunity to showcase and attack ignorance & bigotry

If you hate all races equally, does that make you a racist or does it make you impartial.

"Productive conversation about race" = non-whites berating whites about perceived grievances. "Racist comments" = anything pro-white.

I went through this crap in college, and now the whole country is like my campus was ten years ago.

Sooner or later you will realize the ultimate goal of multiculturalism is white genocide. Racial egalitarianism is only useful for the purpose of weakening white resistance. Once things are "equal", then non-white racial solidarity kicks in.

"Shame on those anonymous people who use that anonymity to spew their hateful racism."

Maybe you could be honest and bold enough to debate these "hateful racists" on facts rather than immediately hurl an insult at them to try and shut them up. There is zero honesty about the racial problems in this country, and zero accountability from minorities on theit hatred of Whites and the problems they cause. Americans are growing extremely tired of the current nonsense, these online comments should show that. If you cannot have free speech in society, it will find its way to a safe place. Typical leftist response to say we need to find a way to end it(from article, not you).

"Hateful racists" have plenty to be angry about, and make very valid, common sense arguments about their grievances.

Everyone is racist to a certain degree. Anyone claiming not to be can be tossed into another category called liar.

In regards the mention of Jared Taylor, there is undue emphasis in this article on perceived racism from white people and most of the studies this article relies on have been conducted amongst white people. Where are the mentioned studies to show how black people feel about race, or asians?
Of course white racism is going to be the most obvious as racism by other races tends to be ignored or explained away as a reaction to past oppression. Today in the USA there are organisations such as La Raza (The Race) and the NAACP, both are accepted and both have issued racist comments and statements that have gone unchallenged in the media.
Until the media stops claiming that white victims of racism were in the wrong place at the wrong time and until it stops allowing commentators to get away with calling white communities 'whitebread','lilly white' and the rather hateful 'not diverse enough' there will continue to be bitterness and rancour.
If you desire an end to racism, then you need to tackle all forms of racism and not exclude racism based on one group being bigger than another or being historically oppressive.

Liberals believe anybody who disagrees with them are racists, so the word "racism" has lost most of its meaning.
For the record, I am a racist, a racist against Santa Cruz White liberals, who demonstrate over and over again that they have sub-human intelligence.
But my racism is scientific.
When you got a group of people who continue the same policies after 30 years of apparent failure, they deserve all the derision and ridicule heaped upon them.
no, we believe that racists are racists, you are more than welcome to disagree with me on issues that have nothing to do with race, and i will not call you a racist for your views, however when you make statements against whole races of people and act as if y our own race i s superior, that is what makes you a racist.

loweroceanlocal,

All races are just as good. All races have the right to exist including my race, the white race.

Why do you think that my race does not have the right to exist? Why are you condemning me for wanting my race to survive? Could it be because you are anti-white?

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white. You remember ;)

Now see there? You went immediately to the 'free speech' meme. Where have I ever implied that I wasn't for free speech? The fact that you can make racist remarks - i.e., separating the whatever races you're talking about from the causcasian race means that you have freedom of speech.

See how that works?

I think racist comments make a very good point.

Nothing illustrates the intelligence and emotional maturity of the author like a racist comment.

Which western civilization are you talking about? This one here in America? Which was populated by indigenous peoples before 'white' people landed on her shores?

That is one lame-arse statement.

In the all black area of "South Central" Los Angeles, there are hundreds of square miles of area where all homes and most businesses have bars on the windows and cyclone fence around the property line. Are they afraid of dirty rotten white racists? I think not. Whites were driven out this area 50 years ago. The biggest danger to black people is other black people, not white racists.
Whites should be entitled to a "white community." White neighborhoods, white schools, white studies. The growing "racism" on the internet is evidence that whites have had it up to here with Negro whining and moaning and special privileges. They destroy everything they touch and whites have got to start speaking up for their own interests. I wish blacks well, but I am sick of them and don't want them around me. Let them shoot each other over drug deals if they want to, just stay the hell out of my community.
Excellent! You just proved the basis of the article! Good for you.

<quoted text> what is so important about a pure white race? why do you need to be pure white? is being pure white somehow better than being any other race, or mixture of races? why is preserving the white race so important? racial purity is not important at all. only a racist would think that it is.
Obviously an anti-White racist comment.

Why should Whites want to be anything other than White? Being White is their genetic/providential predisposition. Got a problem with that? Take it up with God!

Do you see White people rushing to follow Mexicans in East LA or Blacks in the flats of Oakland. No you don't and frankly whenever a minority makes a decent living instead of being a role model for their communities they make a beeline to get out to wherever White people are living. Is that racist to say that or is that the truth. We all know what the answer is but Blacks will call you racist for saying it even though they secretly believe it and would engage in that kind of behavior the first chance they got. Do you think Spike Lee keeps it real by living in Harlem or does he reside on the upper east side of Manhattan where the wealthy White people live. Yeah you know the answer to that one.
Well, that has to be one of the stupidest statements I've ever heard. Oh yeah, and it's racist.

A great comment SURE THING! I read a comment about the difference between black racists and white racists. A black racist who hates white people will do everything he can to "integrate" white neighborhoods, schools, etc. White racists, on the other hand, try to get as far from Blacks as possible.

Another thing: White communities are open to anyone. Black and Mexican communities, however, are basically NO-GO Zones for whites. If a Negro moves to white neighborhood, whites run away. If white moves to Negro neighborhood, white is killed.
