Sorry bee if, like me, you are white, you are racist. This is now a received fact, no matter how anti-racist you have been throughout your life, you are racist for the most racist of reasons, your skin is white. I always thought I was particularly colour blind having worked with and employed many people of different colours, but now I have been told I am white, therefore I must be racist, I find that my resolve has weakened and I am seeing many ways to see faults in those with a different epidermis.

I don't agree that being white means we are ALL racist. I know some people and organisations hold that view, but they are wrong. We know some people are openly racist, others covertly, some not at all. In one of the quotes in Bee's posts the descendent, many generations on, of a black man, is classed as white. Is he, knowing his ancestry, racist? Attitude and behaviour are surely more important than mere skin colour in how we should judge others. IMO.
