The black people that I have encountered throughout my life have been more racist than most white people I know and I've been to some really notoriously racist parts of the country.

I still remember my first dose of racism. This black lady in Vallejo, CAwas taunting me because I was talking to her with a thick accent. "He don't even speak no English!" Or walking through New Orleans with my Korean and Filipino co-workers during CAWorld and being taunted by these black people.

African-Americans tend to be very sensitive about racism which is why many people accuse them of abusing the "race card." From my own personal experience I see that there's quite a bit of truth in it.
