Racism - Why Do So Many People Hate Black People?

I'm Black and I went to a high school where there were racial tensions. Some of the kids were saying stuff, such as threatening to "lynch" me and other stuff. I could have been hateful too. Thankfully, I don't hate anyone. Maybe it was my father keeping me in the church. I don't hate anyone based on race. It doesn't make sense to me, even based on some of my own experiences.

 

EXACTLY ... Spot ON!

The Fact is; nobody is going anywhere … so we need to learn to live together.

The exact same people you vilify are the people who are fighting for your right to vilify them.

Time for everyone to get over theirs and get on with life.

 

Just remember, the person who brought up this topic lives in an area with less than .5% black people


Its hypocrisy at its finest.

 

Everything goes back to the history of the Negro/Black/Afro-American in the United States of America. You have a situation where they were literally property (one of the arguments for the South seceding was that the North was going to interfere in their property rights!). Such a situation apparently gives both the slave and the freeman living besides slaves peculiar notions as to their status and self-worth.

Then you have the period where Blacks were "free" but were treated as third-class citizens in all parts of the USA (jobs, business, banking, housing, sports, recreation and travel) while in the South the KKK and its brother organisations kept the black man in line with fire and noose. The decrease in racism was so gradual that it sparked the great migration to Northern cities where the black family might be third class but they would make better money and not have to worry about lynch mobs.

Then you had the period where racism against blacks was no longer politically correct but it was still pretty prevalent. This is where Black Pride tried to spread its wings but a combination of entanglement in radicalism and police harassment killed the opportunity. Integration did occur in many places, but underlying attitudes were slower to change (among blacks as well as among whites). Crime also became more and more of a problem among urban black communities as drug use increased and interacted with existing gang culture.

Then you had the recent period when a good chunk of the black culture became dominant in popular youth culture and you had phenomena like wiggers and white surbanites listening to gangster rap. This apparent acceptance suggests that racism is still slowly receding but the very fact that there is a separate black subculture shows it is still far from gone. Certainly the targeting of poor black families in the sub-prime mortgage fiasco shows how racism is still at work in America.

Too many blacks, both in the past and today, suffer from almost ingrained feelings of inadequacy as a result of the practical effects of this history on their ancestors, their community and their sub-culture. There was a season of Survivor a few seasons back where one of the contestants was a black woman who would mouth off and pick a fight at the drop of a hat. Eventually one of the other contestants described her as "ghetto trash" and he was roundly ostracized as a result for his racism. The truth was she WAS ghetto trash - she had a belligerent and ignorant attitude adopted to cover up her profound feelings of inadequacy and the stresses of Survivor brought this out more than usual.

So the United States is still dealing with the Black issue on two different levels. Non-Blacks still persist with racist attitudes and feelings of superiority (with the evidence of Black crime levels lending some apparent justification to such attitudes). Blacks grapple with persistent feelings of inadequacy and the deleterious effects of their racism-created sub-culture (historically they couldn't participate in the main culture so they evolved their own) which now serves to perpetuate negative (as well as positive) attitudes and actions. Just look at the percentage of black fathers who abandon the mother and kid(s) if you are looking for a negative consequence.

 

Wow ... I've been Black for 50 years and I didn't know that.

Thanks for the information.

 

Amen to that!

 

If there's one thing I've learned it's that you can't understand group behavior without understanding individual behavior. There are, of course, relatively good eggs and bad eggs in one way or another, but the rules still apply.

Whenever two people (especially with type alpha) come in conflict there is an escalation of aggression which cannot be diffused unless at least one of them tucks tail or graciously concedes the argument. A major reason racism perpetuates itself is that there always seem to be new young alphas who are eager to see wrongs right or realistically to defend the honor they believe has been compromised.

The only hope for an end is that both "sides" (or really just everyone, since we all can mistakenly fall under one stereotype or another) make effort to see past the superficial (or at least stop participating in negative stereotyping). Racism is learned. Children who are made to clean their plates rarely grow up to be picky eaters.

 

But I don't care. Really I can't express enough how much I don't care. I wasn't apart of it and you know what most common blacks in America today weren't either. So why are they so unable to be valuable and contributing to our society as a whole? I'm not talking about the half whites that make it huge. How long does time have to pass since slavery ended that they have to look at themselves for their troubles?

Who are the victimizers today? Who are the slave owners today? No, the blacks are the victims and the victimizers. They rape and kill their own at amazing rates. They ruin where ever they live like some fungus or disease. They have trouble following basic civil laws. They continue to blame it on everyone else but themselves.

Can you show something similar of White Europeans displaying similar behavior? How about impoverished Cambodians, or Tibetans, or Indians?

There are impoverished people all over the world... Yet not all behave like the individuals in the mural. Only Africans display behavior of this nature.

Sometimes the best thing to do to promote a disagreement, argument or difference of opinion; is to simply agree with it. This way everyone walks away with their beliefs intact.

Like my father once said, sometimes it best to let the ignorant remain ignorant; you never know when you’ll need to match wits with them!

 

The racists ought to just play Russian Roulette with a Glock.

I'll buy the ammo.

 

Ask better Why Do So Many Black People Hate Whites?

 

First off nothing can make up for the past of injustices that were made against black folks. The Civil Rights Act was put in place to stop those acts not make up for them. BTW white women enjoy more preferences than any other group of people in this country.

That is pretty much the standard among all groups of people. You have many whites who are productive members of the society and then you have your whites that act like savages.

I believe that is how most folks in this country feel.

Yep and those categories cover all races of people as well.

 

I don't couldn't be because the way black folks have been treated in America could it.

 

I was asking from this part of the conversation:

I may have been alittle confused on what you were trying to say.

 

I don't think there is a single answer.

But I will give you my take.

Many years ago, I chanced upon a site that was just so wrong, that after a few mins of reading it, you actually felt unclean.

Blood & Honour - Combat 18.

Seriously, I am not easily offended, however, you could really only stomach a v short dose of what I saw, post after post of sheer hate and outright lies, avatars of piles of dead bodies from WW2, starved corpses, sometimes it was hard to keep pace with the hate, because it was aimed not only at blacks, but Muslims, Jews, and even many whites as well.

I came to the conclusion that such people are lacking something, and need to replace it with hate, because hating gives them a purpose.

In real life, they are probably not v dangerous at all, which is why they over compensate on the net, trying to be as alpha as possible, and more hate filled than the previous person.

Unsurprisingly, the bulk of the membership could barely spell, which I always found somewhat ironic, given that they would be discussing how superior they were, or maybe even criticising the 'poor English of non whites'.

Hilarious.

However, less funny were the one or two who you felt were actually of higher than average intelligence, and who were able to write well, and make a good delivery.

For all the alpha chest beating of the former type, it was the latter type I always found to be more sinister.

I would also add that it may vary, from nation to nation, depending on lots of factors.

For example, despite Obama being President, I believe the v racist attitudes ARE ingrained into the psyche of many Americans (location dependent etc), because, when you think about it, it was not so long ago that blacks did not have the same rights, in the US, not long ago, at all.

I would imagine there are many relatives of the whites of the day who saw this apartheid as entirely acceptable, and it is not that many generations, is it, therefore, it is quite plausible that many of these attitudes have simply not had enough time to temper, among many Americans?

On top of that, you also have the somewhat unfortunate human predispostion for fearing anything which looks or appears different to them.

I tend to find that the more cerebral the person, the less they are like that.

Just some thoughts..

 

Lol...It's also not surprising that someone who apparently worships an inbred-looking poof in a powdered wig spouts such stupid racist drivel.
Post like yours are nothing more than cowardly, racist guttersniping.
Right-wing racists are the dregs of society and belong on the trash heap of history.

 

And nothing can make up for Indentured Servants and "No Irish need apply" or the White Slave trade

Blacks are not the only people in world history who have been oppressed.

GET OVER IT

 

OBVIOUSLY you are dead wrong: Majority of white population elected black potus and a black jury found an obvious black murderer OJ not guilty.
As for your question why are there racist idiots: I can tie this to special interests, because it is in special interests to start conflicts and profit - in other words certain farts, who do not want to work, but profit instead, by becoming preachers - they need enemy. if everything is peaceful, then they either get a job or they are a nobody. I believe demo republic rat circus (left/right) and religions are no less harmful to humanity. this is a parasitic thing that I loathe more then all racist in this world put together: I alone have more hate for all of them then they have together. this filth you are describing, I see them when I look at scum like GOP candidates (minus Ron Paul) I see then in Clintons, and so on. this filth is not limited to what you refer to as racists.

 

I've never met a non white person that has demonstrated hate for whites.

I have met a few whites that demonstrated hate for non whites.

Not saying that there are not black people that may hate non blacks, after all, racism is not the preserve of any given race(sic), it is the preserve of the ignorant.

And ignorance spans all races.

It seems to me the OP is relating to us his/her personal experience, about white hate of blacks, and has pointed out that most of it was coming from Americans. I guess if he had wanted to speak about what you want to speak about, then he would have spoken about that instead.

Strange that a person should decide for themselves what they wish to speak about.

Do you think it will catch on?

I have a granddaughter, who will be two next month.

Lovely she is.

Anyway, in some ways, she is more intelligent right now, than many adult racists.

Why?

Because, unlike the bigot, she judges a person entirely on their actions, and not on their look.

Such a shame, even a crime really, that we take that simple logic, and distorted it with our own failings.

 

Your missing the point, they sold themselves into slavery. They didn't have to sell each other to the slave traders they could have killed them or run them off.

 

Awww sure that's cute and all to say now but get back to us when she is a teenager and brings home Leroy and all of his friends.

p.s. Being a racist has NOTHING to do with intelligence. There have been many astoundingly smart men that were also racist.

 

So, somehow stacking the deck in favor of one or the other is beneficial HOW? Isn't that just more discrimination?
