Hmm... If in terms of Black and White I don't think a black person can be racist towards a white person anymore than a woman can be discriminative, sexist towards a man, and there is no such thing as 'mannism'.

Think of as many derrogatory terms for a black person.. the list is endless but try the same for a white person..bluefoot? Well I wouldn't even include that because the connotations are exclusive to members on here and its implications are not as destructive say as being called a 'N****r' ; so there aren't as many terms, associations opportunites to be truely racist towards them, whereas every derrogatory term used against a black person is not just a mere case of 'hurt feelings' ,but it can effect one's life chance, perception, job opportunites, hell try walking down the road with such a term blazoned across your back, it is highly unlikely a white person can or will experience this.
