It always amuses me when we generalise about a group of people, in this case black people.
All people can be prejudiced, and can be guilty of racism, sexism etc.
The most overt racial abuse I've ever personally witnessed was in east Africa, and it was done by east African Asians to blacks.
There's very little condemnation from some sections of the black press when it comes to popular culture that talks about smacking bitches and 'ho's, and shooting batty boys.
Prejudice can be found everywhere, regardless of ethnic group.
