They tried, but they failed.
Unfortunately for them, I was able to think for myself at a young age. -

Telling me I couldn't trust White people, but I could trust Blacks.
I was thinking, "I don't trust anyone. I don't trust you.". -
No.
My african american grandfather refers to people of oriental descent as "chinks" though. -
To mexicans. Which was awkward and funny because both my mom and dad had mexican in them. Granted I have a certain disdain for a few that like to ? /jump/stab with anyone that ain't their color of brown, I am usually cool with most.

my old man let me know " what time it was" with these "devils" (white,black,brown,yellow)
:-B -
No....but amerikkka has

Racist no but my grandmother, my dad's mother, hated white people. Hell she didn't like my mom when they first met because she considered her too light lol. Nothing funnier than hearing a bunch of old people cuss out white people spanish.

no, i was raised more so to have pride in myself than to worry about other peoples ? . I was never really around white people till I went to high school. By that time I was more focused on my goals than worrying about their feelings.

Nope

Its genetic with me.
The blood of my ancestors be telling me to hit the gas when i c a cracka crossing the street.
Random voices just be saying "that old lady cracka is 10 points'..."the kid is 50 points"....and so on. -

How can a black be a racist? What system do we have in place that hinders a person from achieving anything, strips people of their cultural identity and replace it with a byword? Where do we systematically dehumanize nations of people and reduce them to cattle or 3/5ths of a human being?
It's humanly impractical for blacks to exercise the white created system of racism. If there was ever a time where we were suddenly in a position on the world stage to be able to do something on par to racism we fa damn sho wouldn't call it "racism"... more like "a recompense of righteous indignation"
Now.. outside of that there, I was raised to to love and build with my own people exclusively. I have never lived among nor befriended white people before. The only dealings I have with white people is usually monetary (whites handing me my change/or an exchange over the counter) -
nope, wasn't raised that way. especially when there are PLENTY of reasons to hate people that have NOTHING to do with race at all.
well, it starts with being racist not being dependent on any system and goes from thereHow can a black be a racist? What system do we have in place that hinders a person from achieving anything, strips people of their cultural identity and replace it with a byword? Where do we systematically dehumanize nations of people and reduce them to cattle or 3/5ths of a human being?
side note: i think you missed the point of the whole 3/5ths thing -
No, they aren't hateful or self-sacrosanct people by nature. Even the great-grandparents, who would have every right to be vengeful, if they chose to harbor that ? .

I was raised racist, it made it easier not to be, I kind of always had the colorblindness of a child. As I grew older I rationalized racism out of my mind, though I could revert as I was raised by some gems of racism, I am human and in anger I do focus on stereotypical ? . It's a choice whether to act out on it or accept it's just another human being doing some ? ? , which we are all capable of.

My Grams told me not bring a whitegirl home. Besides that everything was cool.
