Even when the racist motives of blacks are pointed out, they are dismissed because black minorities were repressed and are entitled to favoritism.

From the May 27, 1987 edition of the NY Times we read that a NYC teachers manual contained this enlightenment:

One excerpt declares, ”In the United States at present only whites can be racists, since whites dominate and control the institutions that create and enforce American cultural norms and values.”

Another passage says: ”Even if an individual white American is free from all conscious racial prejudices, he/she remains a racist, for he/she receives benefits distributed by a white racist society through its institutions. . . . They do not have to consciously decide to oppress racial minorities in order to be racist.”

At another point, the handbook advises instructors that ”challenges are to be expected” on the book’s contentions that ”racial minorities cannot be racist in the U.S.A.” and that ”all whites are racist in the U.S.A.” The manual, Mr. Hikind noted, then provides instructors with ways to respond to such challenges.

Elsewhere… the manual declares, ”In order to change a racist society, all persons, particularly white persons in the U.S., must actively choose in some instance to question and go against authority, rules and values, in order to behave in an anti-racist way and fight a racist system”…

It seems that some things never change …blacks are downtrodden and whites are racist – simply because they were born.
