Racism

Poor and unsucessful whites lash out on minorities because they are bitter and angry and insecure. They cling onto their 'whiteness' because it's the only thing they have that is considered to be worth anything. They deeply feel insecure and bitter because they failed to be sucessful while others that have it worse such as blacks, hispanics, etc. have more odds stacked against them yet manage to overcome them. This makes them minimize the struggles of minorities in their mind so they feel less like failures.

What these people fail to understand is that our environment, genes, etc. influence and make us who we are. No one really earns or is responsible for their place in society, they just happened to get lucky with good genes, good upbringing, and good luck. The defense some whites are using is claiming that black people have more oppurtunities than they do because of Affirmative Action, etc. This is an attempt to make the white person explain away their own failure to amount to anything important, because they can claim that blacks or Mexicans stole they chance. This of course is absurd and untrue, but they don't want to believe that even though minorities have it harder, they can still become more sucessful than them.

Perhaps racist fear that if black people are given even chances they will surpass whites. Fear and insecurity really fuel racism. Also ignorance, we are all humans, no one on is inferior biologically to anyone else. Race doesn't exist in biology, genetically we are pretty much the same. So what is to blame for black race failures is our environment. People are still racist and bias, it's been proven, white priviledge, black inferiority complexes are part of a white dominated society. I believe in giving those with harder circumstances a leg up. Those who have more should be willing to give ot others, no matter what race, especially when what you have more of is taken at the expense of others.
