Why do I see so much anti-Black and Hispanic sentiment online but rarely in person? (illegal immigration, Hispanics)

So what are you saying is? Even though a black person (African American) was born in the States? The STATES is not their home?
Legally it's their home, but outside of legal definitions, why would an Afro American consider the Untied States their home when their ancestors did not willfully migrate here in the past? Many blacks just suffer from stockholm syndrome; plain and simple.
It's just crazy, more Europeans visit Africa and learn about the culture then Africans from America.
Anti black and hispanic sentiments are made by racists IRL too. I've experienced it before by nonblacks. But usually they get put in their place when they express it around me.

Every nonBlack person online think they are the representative for black americans. You are mindreaders and know what's in every black person's head.
I am an African American and I am not migrating back to Africa because my family has been here for many many generations. If I leave, then you need to leave as well because this land was stolen from the native americans.

In this totalitarian environment it's best to be prudent in public. Of course the thing about totalitarian societies is they eventually dissolve.
I never assumed that. Like I said in another post I've seen this from all nationalities.

I agree...that's why any 'back to Africa' programme wouldn't work today. You can't bring a person to a foreign land, where they'll have kids.etc, and expect the kids to feel at home in a place that's as alien to them as the white man. They are Americans of African descent.
Not sure why anybody of any race would want to migrate to Africa right now, either, if that's even possible lol.

You DO realize that not EVERY Black person that is in the U.S. comes from ancestors that were forced to come here don't you? Many Black people have ancestors that DID "willfully migrate" here. In fact, the FIRST Africans in this land were not slaves.
Case closed, you're trying too hard. Chill with the pseudo intellect. You talk about knowledge of Africa, you'd think you'd know that.

Stolen? They never had title to anything. Throughout history wars have been fought and lands have exchanged hands. To the winner goes the spoils. With that kind of thinking we'd have to re-write history so that everything returned to what it once was.
I do however agree with you that black-Americans are just as American as anyone else and they have been here for generations. This is their country also.

There are just as many anti-white sentiments by both of those groups also.
The problem with free speech is, people often times think free speech equals I can say whatever the hell I want to say.
Freedom of speech also means being responsible with your words. That's the part most people forget. With freedom comes responsibility.

I think American needs to amend the Freedom of Speech amendment. They should make hate speech illegal because it affects the life of other citizens.
Free speech is cool as long as it doesn't carry over into someone else day.
It should also fall under the line of cyber bullying but it doesn't. That needs to be changed too.
Like in London where a woman got arrested for hate speech on a train (or was it a bus).
