It never ceases to amaze me how just about every race claims they’re victims of racism. According to a study conducted by Tufts University’s School of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School, it was reported that whites believe they have replaced blacks as the primary targets of racism. The results of the study show that America has not evolved into a ‘post-racial’ society as many had hoped it would since Barack Obama became President of the United States.
According to study, both blacks and whites agree that anti-black racism has decreased over the last 60 years. But whites somehow believe that racism has increased toward them and is a bigger problem than anti-black racism.
where have they been the last 5 years?  there has been an easing of in your face but with the election of Pres. it's back with a vengeance, bigger, bolder, and Whiter than before it was hibernating now the sleeping dogs of hell have been loosed.
rac·ismˈrāˌsizəm/noun

  1. the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
and who thought it was ok to own another human, who made Blacks 3/5 ths of a human and who else continues that mindset today, who thinks they should be in charge of everything including your bedroom.  and who are the ones with the God complex?
Tufts Associate Professor of Psychology, Samuel Sommers, PhD said, ‘It’s a pretty surprising finding when you think of the wide range of disparities that still exist in society, most of which show Black American with worse outcomes than whites in areas such as income, home ownership, health and employment.’ Sommers is co-author of “Whites See Racism as a Zero-sum Game that They Are Now Losing”, an article that appeared in an issue of Perspectives on Psychological Science journal.
Sommers and his co-author asked a nationwide, small sample of 208 blacks and 209 whites the extent to which they felt they were targets of discrimination from the 1950s to 2000s on a scale from 1 to 10 and both demographics agreed that discrimination against whites was almost non-existent in the 1950s and high for blacks. They both also agreed that racism against blacks has decreased over the years, although whites believed it declined faster than blacks did.
is this a new sense of being picked on a by product of their up coming demotion to minority and they are just getting in the mood to be discriminated against. no one is going to put up "BLACK ONLY" signs or refuse to serve them in restaurants, or call them out of their name although there will be a few still holding rightful resentment but not like they have done for centuries, the Panthers will not take over the police force and pepper spray and shoot at your kids, their fear of retribution would be enough to haunt them even those who say "i never owned slaves", didn't have to but self recrimination is a biatch.
