Sub-Mariner is correct: it is inevitable that there will be more fighting in the future because the divide between cultural and political groups has grown too large to find common ground.

Yes, but it is due to people like him that that happens, so a bit of soul searching instead of blaiming the other races could be in place.

If you will see the post above, Exsubmariner gives specific instances of where he was subject to racism as a white person. He has not retaliated by extending the same type of treatment to others, but offers the point that all people can be racist.

In Australia, why should we call white people who riot as racist idiots, while arabs are merely rioters? They should be called stupid racists too. Or in the instance of the LA riots, the people who were rioting were doing it just because Rodney King was black. They would not have done it if it was a white guy beaten by the cops. That's a racial motive, hence making the black rioters racist.

For the record, I did not say I was white.

Edit: No offense taken or intended.
