And yeah, if you're hangin out in white dominated areas and getting stared at, it IS because you're black. Sorry to burst your bubble. Works the other way around too if that makes you feel any better.

I can't see being "stared at" as racist. There has to be something else (other than someone looked at me) that reveals some kind of antipathy before you accuse someone something as serious as being a racist. Otherwise you are being a thought-police and then go on to make slanderous accusation about person you know very little about and participating in what you are denouncing - being prejudice. Sometimes it is better to chalk up an incident as something you don't know what the other person is thinking then to fill in the blanks and hurting yourself with thoughts that never really entered the other person's mind. And if someone give you a snide look it is indicative of who they are not who you are.
