We're actually not allowed to do that ... decide who to rent to someone on the basis of race. And, that's a good thing.

But the video clearly shows that these four black young people attacked this white man for racialist reasons. All it takes is one case where hate crime charges are filed and we change the discussion of racism in this country from white privilege and black victimhood to an actual discussion of racism, which is not the exclusive province of whites. I'm a tribal card holder who still visits relatives on the Res and I can tell you without a doubt that a lot of Indians hate white people and black people in a very racialist way. The first actual racist I ever met was a black man here in Fairbanks who would harass whites who stopped in his shop. He's not an outlier. Reverse racism exists and it needs to stop, but it won't until we acknowledge it and start to discuss it openly, like we did with white racism a half century ago.
