Why is it that only whites are portrayed as raciest? I know blacks who are just as racist. Why do liberals want to push racism were there is no racism? Tell me, what is your agenda for posting this trash?

Sooo true! First, nobody alive, even if they are as racist as the woman in the video, would ever have the cahones to speak like that in public. Racism of that magnitude has no place in civilized society, yet I have experience virulent anti-white racism and discrimination from African Americans on numerous occasions. Why is this ok? My family never discriminated against anyone EVER, nor have I EVER!!! So why am I being made out to be the bad guy. This TV commercial is a red herring and proves nothing.

Good one. I was expecting a black captain to come back and speak to the woman.

Humans are a pretty pathetic bunch. Very few redeeming qualities. After the next mass extinction, maybe something better will replace us, like giant rats.

Superb!!!!
Don't forget. It is just a message against racism of any kind. This message is so clear that racism of any kind is not tolerable. Sorry for those who think it is black against white. It is a lot wider message.

I'm always amazed at this moaning about racism against whites.
Throughout history, looking back, the white ( Might, Right etc) invaders of various countries, Australia, America, Africa etc etc, have all given the black natives of that land a bloody hard time, to put it mildly.
If the boot was on the other foot & you were affected, wouldn't you be a little pissed. And in this time of reconciliation & human rights recognition, wouldn't you milk it for what it's worth?
Now it comes & bites us on the arse, we don't like it & we bleat about racism against us whites. We whites have been the aggressors.
I guess we reap what we sow & should suck it up, get over it, whatever.
It would be a shame if all humans could just practice a little respect for each other irrespective of skin colour.
It's not a shot at you personally but I find it's a chance to express my view since the subject arose.

This is just my opinion but I think it has merit. What is being addressed as racism , regardless of the source, is just a lack of respect. Not the respect that comes from laws or intimidation but the earned respect that comes from doing the right thing only because it is the right thing to do. I do have my prejudices but they have nothing to do with any race of people. It has everything to do with character and behavior. I do not display my prejudices but I chose whose company I keep. I am blue color and partly (Foxworthy's) redneck and a Bible believing Christian. I am not a self righteous person because I respect other people's beliefs, I just don't go where they go. In Christian love Dave

Well staged and a clever twist ....... but

Where I grew up there wasn't any racism though there were minorities. We all went to school together, this was before the Civil Rights act. Yes I know other parts of the country did have racism but it wasn't the case where I grew up .......... not until something changed.

What changed?

Minorities were given preferential treatment. There became a sense of entitlement as if white's owed something though we ourselves never did anything against the minorities.

This smug entitlement attitude brought racism on all sides when it was never present prior to government programs giving preferential treatment.

Again I'm sharing what happened in my town, I know, it was an issue in other areas of the country.

Wasn't in Martin Luther King who said, "they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

But affirmative action is all about 'color' not 'character'.

Today many Black's are more racist than White's .............

Before I get jumped on let me say I have 3 nieces & nephews who are half Black, 3 nieces who are half Chinese, 2 grand kids who are half Latino and 2 grand kids who are half Pilipino. I love them all ....

Enough said
