And white people are whining because people don't like them and they don't like being called racist.  What a joke.

A couple of comments about what you said.  

Yes, the bad things you describe did happen.  but, the white people of today are not guilty of the acts committed by their ancestors.  And secondly, white people aren't "whining" because "people don't like them."  They are legitimately unhappy when they are penalized for things they themselves did not do, or penalized because of their race.  No one should be discriminated against because of the color of their skin, or because of something someone else did a hundred or two hundred years ago.  And that includes white people.  

And when you say "people don't like" white people, you are describing racism.  And if you think it's okay to not like white people, then you are a racist.
