Interesting. What responsibilities do white people need to own up to and stop blaming black people for?
Question 1:
Sentencing for prison terms springs to mind. Crack vs powder cocaine guidelines clearly built to punish blacks.
Question 2:
I don't really have an answer. White people probably complain about blacks committing more crimes but you've structured your question in a way that makes it seem like its white people fault that they do.
I grew up poor. I committed crimes, I went to jail and I stopped and started following the law. I believe every person in this country can do the same. If they don't, it's nobody's fault but their own.

Are they any other times you think people are racist or you call them racist in your head besides when they say slurs?
Probably no, because I don't search for racism. I have a life to live.

Do you think people that get offended when you call them racist are snowflakes ?
No, because the label has, or soon will, lose all its power due to people on the left throwing it around as much as they do. I have zero doubt that my views on life in USA would be labeled racist by a reasonable amount of people. I don't view that as my problem though. The goalposts have been moved to such a degree over the past ten years or so that if you say anything that doesn't jive with the main stream medias view on race you catch the racist label.
