African Americans are targeted by racist, white cops, routinely...Period

102. I understand that theory. I think it's called "structural racism"

It comes down to a kind of a "majority/minority" thing...What some might call the "macro" rather than

the "micro" view.

When you look at it from the vantage point of the society as a whole, it works, but what about the

many "micro environments", like a particular workplace, where, the "majority" person is in the

minority? I have been in that situation a number of times and have been treated with open

hostility for no reason other than my skin color.

One might call it 'bigotry', but it's definitely a bigotry based on race, so my point is,
.
that whether you call it "racism" or "racial bigotry" doesn't much matter as it feels

just as hurtful, frustrating and unfair whatever it's called..

I just wanted to add that this hasn't been the case for me in EVERY instance.

I've been the only white person in a couple of work/classroom situations where I've

I've been treated well, with not only fairness, but acceptance and friendliness

I guess it's just a question of the individuals involved,.
