It'll start to go away when whites stop saying things like "I f'in hate n---ers" and "I f'in hate chinks". I have never been told by a member of another race that they hated whites. Almost every member of another race that I have talked to has heard something like this from a white person.

As far as the "black culture", "Latino culture", etc. thing goes, I never hear it as anything but in reference to pride. And a lot of things, like blues music, come from black culture and are inextricably tied to the struggles that came from forced segregation. Whites talk about honoring their German, Italian, Irish or whatever heritage too. Is St. Patrick's day a bad thing?
