How come racism is OK when directed towards the white community by the
black community and when directed by the black community AT the black
community?

Don't hand me this crap about it being OK for a black to call another
black by the foulest of racial slurs. It doesn't amke using the term
right at all!

And it's OK for a black to be prejudiced against a korean or a latino
or a white.... but not the other way around. It's OK to talk about
Black pride and black heritage and latino heritage but it's racist to
talk about white pride and Anglo heritage.

Please explain this to me.

And by the way, I agree with the gisdt of what has been said about
Oprah.... she is not really a bigot though..... she's just in it for
the money. She *IS* a Hypocrite though.
