I'm a little late jumping in here on the conversation, but... I do think that empowerment, racism, bullying, and being pests...is all a matter of point of view. It's not so much a question of why from one side is this way, and why from the other is it that way...it's a question of why do you think it happens period?
The bottom line is that when you have two sides of anything, it results in a difference of opinion. But, to answer the question more directly I think it is because the White American, is more or less brainwashed from a young age to think in a certain manner. On a larger scale, ALL American children are brainwashed...I mean, taught History....Example: all through school they go over slavery and the civil war...once a year...sometimes twice. Midterms and finals - our own system won't let us forget there ever WAS a difference and preach how nowadays there IS a difference between us. By constantly teaching and reminding that there IS a difference that ONCE existed, it will always exist because it becomes a convenient excuse for both sides when they commit an Inhumane act. It is a way for that Human to excuse themselves from the atrocities they do. At least that is what I think...
