What you're describing are powerless (powerless because the perps would be arrested and prosecuted) racial hostilities such as racial slurs, and dirty looks. Historically and presently, VERY FEW non-whites have the ability to deny employment and or housing opportunities to whites on any significant scale. Wording matters.

You’re not white, so you wouldn’t understand.

Just noticed the original post date. Why did this thread get revived?

I had my doubts, but upon second inspection in the mirror, you're correct, I am in fact not white - Imagine my astonishment, I almost called the cops on myself!

So since, we've established race amongst ourselves, why don't you attempt to help me "understand?" If you can't/won't maybe I'll ask my white wife to help me, or maybe my white in-laws (all Republicans including my own wife), or maybe my white neighbors since I'm literally the ONLY black homeowner in my gated community phase.

The point of me expressing myself like this is I'm around whites very very frequently...my social life is the epitome of a diversity commercial so I think I have pretty good grasp on that and many other communities. Now on the other hand, how much time do you spend with non whites and more specifically blacks? I'm pretty confident I know the answer

So who do you really think lacks "understanding?"
