I believe that you have the franchise on the "hate" part. Liberals have an abundance of that stuff.

Even though he IS a racist, he does have one valid point. I was hard put to find a means to debate his statement: "There is not ONE place blacks have created a paradise." However, I prefer to believe that we ALL work together to build our own paradise, regardless of color or gender, or gender confused. I believe that this has nothing to do with color, but of mental attitude. If a black man is blind, will he still have the same animosity for whites. Does a black baby have any resentment of whites? Racism on both sides is a learned or perceived trait, not inherent to ethnicity. Many of us treat others as we would be treated. Perhaps that is not always successful. Sometimes it might be prudent to treat others as they treat us until they realize the error of their ways. This works better with the Middle East because they consider pacifists as being weak and do not respect them. Iran respected Reagan because of his power, even if they hated him. They hate us and we need to get that through our thick skulls. They CAN respect us if we show them how powerful we are and that we are willing to use that power to defeat them if they strike us or our allies. But, I digress.

Our friend is a racist, but he is not completely wrong all the time. Only his racial bias is unhealthy. As long as his bias does not make him intolerant, it is his American right.
