I said something as an answer in another post. I have been thinking about my answer, and the more I think about it, the more angry I become. Here is what I said...
"Why is it that when a Caucasian person speaks out against ideology they disagree with. Take action against behaviors they see as detrimental and destructive, generally they are labeled racist. If a non Caucasian person uses their same constitutionally protected rights in the exact same manner, they are referred to as an activist".
The the rights in the constitution are color blind. What happened to respecting someone else and their opinion even though you may not agree with it? Is this really what out society has been reduced to? Is the best way to change a perceived double standard to create another one and justify it based on racial bias?
Tell me what you think, I am very interested in hearing other points of view.

Because it is easier to call someone racist then address the problem as a whole. It cant be my races fault. If a race even accepts part of the blame it hurts their cause. That is why seeing one race (human) would solve half the problem. We would all realize we are in it together. Well most of us anyways.
I was thinking the same time the other day . We are all ONE race of HUMANS
Watch a room full of kids that are from all kinds of race and you will see that they will all play together because they see each other the same. ..hey we are all just kids and want to play.
If more people would realize that we are all just HUMANS then I agree that things would be better off.

Division, man.
You're lapping it up.
Dr. Frank Barr, pioneering discoverer of melanin’s organizing ability and other properties, theorizes in his technical work, Melanin: The Organizing Molecule:
“The hypothesis is advanced that (neuro)melanin (in conjunction with other pigment molecules such as the isopentenoids) functions as the major organizational molecule in living systems. Melanin is depicted as an organizational “trigger” capable of using established properties such as photon- (electron)- photon conversions, free radical-redox mechanism, ion exchange mechanisms, ion exchange mechanisms, and semiconductive switching capabilities to direct energy to strategic molecular systems and sensitive hierarchies of protein enzyme cascades. Melanin is held capable of regulating a wide range of molecular interactions and metabolic processes…”

I have often expressed the same anger about this and it's hard to get people to see past their reverse racism/white guilt/whatever you call it, to see the point of the statement. If I state I'm proud of my heritage, I'm immediately labeled a supremacist and rqcist. If any other race states the same sentence, they're simply "in touch with their roots". I refuse to feel guilty for someone else's sins. It doesn't matter if my ancestors were slaves or slave owners, I wasn't there to influence the situation so my conscious is clear. I won't feel guilty for the sheer randomness of my consciousness being brought to life in this Caucasian body. I'm proud of many of the accomplishments of all races but I do like who I am as this Caucasian male. That doesn't make me a bigot or racist, an oppressor or an enabler. It makes me guilty of pride. I can sleep at night with THAT on my heart.
