first identify the essence, nature and cause and effect of said racisms, your comparitive analogy is slightly fallacious and off the mark.
Yes, let's identify the cause...
How about a black person who hates me because I'm white, despite the fact that I haven't done anything to any black people? What is the cause? What did
I, as an individual, do to warrant this hatred? What did my parents, friends or some two year old toddler do to deserve the hateful thoughts this person has for them?
Maybe the black person in this hypothetical situation hates
all white people because of the real or perceived traits of
some white people. But if that's the case, it's no more or less wrong than when white people do the same to blacks, hispanics, Asians or Arabs.

You compare the essence of white racist/supremist theory/ideology and the actions of such ideology within a historical context and compare it with "racist" attitudes amongst non whites??
Racism is based on making generalizations about entire groups of people (all blacks are criminals, are whites are racist, etc.).
The fact that Nazis in
Europe used their ideology to inspire and justify atrocities (against non-blacks, mind you), doesn't excuse non-white racism against whites or change the simple fact that racism is racism.

You compare fallacious anthropological rhetoric and false political ideology propegated by many of the white race which has resulted in the brutalisation oppression and injustice perpetrated against non whites over 100s of years and equate it to a slight "non liking" by some non whites of whites??? The two are absolutely non comparable.
A few points:
1) Fallacious rhetoric is fallacious rhetoric, whether it's some skinhead claiming that all blacks are physically or mentally inferior or some black nationalist claiming that all whites are racist, evil, "devils", or are trying to keep blacks down.
2) Inherited guilt is nonsense. I'm not responsible for things other people did in the past or are doing today just because they happened to have the same color skin as I do.
3) You can't seriously believe that anti-white sentiments by non-whites are never more severe than a "slight non liking".

again fallacious line of argument in your comparitive analogy. You take nazism within the historical context and ramifications and compare it with rap music??????!!! LMAO come on.
I'm comparing music motivated by one brand of racial hatred to music motivated by other brands of racial hatred.
Has Nazism resulted in more death and destruction that non-white racism against whites? Absolutely, but not because non-white racism is less wrong, but because non-whites historically have not been in power in nations with any sizeable white populations.

media bias? which media? against whom??
I'm talking about mainstream media bias when it comes to reporting crimes where race (or even sexual orientation) can be a factor; of ignoring
some stories of crime and/or bigotry when other, similar crimes are blabbered about for days or even weeks.

Political correctness is a red herring that is used to detract from the real debate and issues, and take it off at a tangent which mitigates the argument of those against racism, so lets leave PC out of this for the moment.
Political correctness
can be a red herring, but it isn't always and it isn't now. Christ; this whole thread reeks of political correctness. Why did hateful messages in music only become a national crisis with it started coming from obscure, crappy, white power bands?

PC tell us to pretend X Y Z?? well your brain and a modicum of historical knowledge TELLs you even more strongly the truth of racism/white supremecy fallacy that has been propegated over centuries.
I agree that white supremecy is wrong, but it's irrelevant to my point that hate coming from other racial groups is often given a free pass by the same people who shit their pants over some dickhead with a swastika tattoo singing lousy rock songs.

yes. see if you can figure out why, if not i'll be more than happy to explain it to you
It's only worse if you are arguing from hypocritical viewpoint.
Is racism wrong?
If the answer is yes, then there is no justification for hating an entire group of people.
If the answer is no, then why did you start this thread?
