Racism - Why Do So Many People Hate Black People?

A member who recently joined up mentioned a website he had ben a member of. I signed up out of curiousity. I didn't even last a week.

These 'people' if you can call them that, hate - no loathe, black people. And I mean loathe. One thread mentioned a black teen who was murdered in England 18 years ago, and his his killers sent to prison after so many years. I said that justice had been served. I was immediately attacked for this, by people who basically seemed to be saying that it should be perfectly acceptable for white people to murder blacks.

Another story was about an interacial couple who had had twins - one black, and one white. My congratulations to this couple on the birth of their beautiful babies was ignored and I was again attacked for daring to say that a black baby being born was a good thing.

The N word was thrown around constantly, and these people acted like blacks were subhuman and should be all round up and shot.
Most of these people claimed to be American, although I imagine that some might have been from Australia.

How can racism, to that degree, still exist today? Why do white people hate black people so much? Why would anyone want a person shot and killed simply because they have different colored skin? How can these people walk down the street and not feel sickened by the way they feel?

The mere thought of whites hating blacks so much makes me feel sick.
Of course, there are some black people who hate white people, but racism is mostly directed at blacks. I just don't understand the hatred toward people of another color. It makes no sense at all. It didnt make sense 100 years ago and it still doesn't make sense today. If anything, it becomes more and more sickening as the years go by.

 

There are just as many black who hate whites but more than likely are not in positions to discriminate so you don't hear about it as much. There is plenty of hate in every race to go around and whites do not have a monopoly on it. I would be willing to bet that more blacks hate whites what with the slave trade and all that. There are plenty of Black hate sights on the web where you can see how they do the same thing if your interested in looking them up. Latinos have them as well as asians or arabic peoples.

 

Most people are retarded.

 

It isn't that most white people hate black people. The problem here is that racist white people are cowards. This is only only outlet for them that wouldn't involve social ostracism and condemnation. I'd really love to see the fools here say half the (*)(*)(*)(*) they say on national TV.

 

As a site Moderator I think you should have provided a link to this one-sided story you're telling here.

You should do yourself a favor by visiting the race relations sub forum here at PF so as to get a snoot full of the facts concerning the black lifestyle of criminal behavior, the broken families, the sense of entiltlement, the reverse discrimination via quotas & affirmative action, the seeking of reparations, the high percentage of our incarcerated, the inner city gangs and the cries of jim crow, racism, inequality, social justice and calling anyone who doesn't agree with their Main Street Liberal Media's appeasing agenda like those of the Tea Partiers and Conservatives in general...RACISTS!

So yeah, there will be a few WHITE racists out there who are totally fed up with the whining and the race baiting going on by both blacks and their liberal white cohorts. Can you blame these white folk for being racists when they see the aforementioned traits of the black man on a daily basis?

 

This thread is kinda like that ole lame question, "have you stopped beating you wife yet - yes or no?"

 

its white racism at the top that creates black racism at the bottom

 

Joey started it! No he didn't. Yes he did. Nuh uh. Uh huh. You suck! No - you suck. You do. No, you do. Waaaahhhhhh!!!!!

 

Obviously it is immensely important to inadequates that there should be a block of people held to be inferior to their inadequate selves. If these people get uppity they need to kill them to convince themselves they are not the lowest of humans. That's why they are Republicans: it is the party for inadequates and haters.

 

People who hate people based on skin color are morons. However, liberals use this issue to avoid the more painful issue of minority sub-cultures that cause major damage to the fabric of a society. For if they admit it, then they have to determine a cure that may be at odds with their utopian multicultural world view.

If you want a better understanding, you should consider reading this book:

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Virtually all contemporary liberal assumptions about the origin of racism, its historical significance, its contemporary effects, and what to do about it are wrong," announces Dinesh D'Souza in another characteristically thought-provoking and controversial book. His scrupulously researched study of the history, nature, and effects of racism will certainly ruffle many feathers--particularly those of cultural relativists and liberal "antiracists" whose opinions he aims to discredit. But thinkers of all political persuasions would benefit from reading this self-described conservative's eloquently presented views as he "excavates beyond the usual digging sites" to present a unique and troubling vision of the "neurotic obsession" with race that continues to divide American society.

Much of what D'Souza says flies in the face of liberal doctrine. He maintains that there are cultural differences that account for distinct levels of achievement among races, and that racism cannot be blamed for "black failure." He argues that racism is not a universal phenomenon but a relatively recent Western intellectual concept, and because we can trace racism's beginning we can likewise bring about its demise. He deals blow after blow to longstanding "myths" about race, criticizing the "civil rights industry," rejecting "misguided" solutions such as multiculturalism and proportional representation as "fighting discrimination by practicing it," and even calls for a repeal of the near-sacred Civil Rights Act of 1964.

This is not an easy book to read, but it is an important one. Even if more than a few disagree with D'Souza's assumptions and arguments, all should welcome his well-considered, insightful treatment of this immensely difficult topic. --Uma Kukathas --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Claiming that racism in no longer an important factor in American life, D'Souza argues that government must cease to legislate issues on a racial basis.

THe issue here is not how many whites are racists, its who the internet is made for. The internet is a largely anonymous forum where anyone can spew anything. Watching this forum you would think there is only ideological people in this world who have one of two views. There are very few open minded people on this forum, you can predict how everyone on this forum will come down on every topic.

With that said, I think the anonymity of the internet brings out those who have view points that are extreme and when a view point that is contrary pops up it is shot down quickly and with impunity. You also never see people with open minds, its a lot like this forum, if you do not fit into one side or the other you are bashed over the head for being open minded or just simply ignored. The internet while has open upped the world to communication, I think for the most part it has done little to bring people together, it has done the most to split everyone part and put them into groups.

Racism for most people is about ignorance, and a blame game. You see a lot of racism simply form ignorant people who do not understand others. The other side is deflection of ones own failings onto others. If i don't like something I will simply blame someone else, sometimes its in the form of racism, sometimes classism, take your pick, that which we do not understand we are most likely to talk ill of without knowledge.

 

Most every ethnicity looks down and doesn't care for Africans. In America we have every race and nationality under the sun and none of them care for blacks.
While this statement might bother you it's entirely true. Asians, Arabs, and Latinos all do not like black people, so it isn't just Europeans. When blacks walk into a store Arab, Asian and Latino store clerks keep an extra eye on them just like European store owners do. That's one of a thousand examples.

Gee, I wonder why.

 

that would apply to past abuses that could explain todays black racism, but present day white racism from the top continues to oppress blacks

 

That's because you stole and murdered people so as to steal their labour. All gangsters hate their victims: it is the only way they can live with themselves. How do you manage?

 

The oppressors were Blacks, Muslims, and there European customers. You are a European, are you not? Then, you caused the slavery of Africans in the New World using your logic.

 

Most oppression in the States is caused by the oppressed. In America having an exceptional talent be it sports, entertainment, education, will lead to great riches, having the tenacity to actually stand above all the chatter and get an education will get you at least a modest middle class living.

I think most minorities, born in the last 30 years, would actually be hard pressed to actually prove that racism has determined anything in their life!

 

No - we abolished slavery, remember? And only nutters believe in collective guilt, by the way (none of my ancestors were slavers, several were abolitionists, while some of my wife's family went over to fight your slavers). OK?

 

You're right. The real oppression of modern American Blacks stems from the counterproductive, culture destroying social lunacy perpetrated by mostly white Democrats who are merely after "the Black vote" and could care less about, and even deny, the chronic inter-generational government dependency their non-solutions actually produces.

 

That's true. But, why? The skin color is used as a profiling warning of an increased probability of criminal behavior. The real question is: why is black skin associated with criminal behavior. I suggest there is a similar concept- that of the criminal bastard. Bastards were also associated with criminal behavior. What do these two groups share in common? The lack of a father in the household and a nuclear family. The high murder rates of the inner city are shared by primitive horticultural societies dominated by females. Could it be that progressives ignore centuries of social evolution that established the nuclear family as a civilizing institution in favor of greater sexual license?

 

So, Europeans have washed away their sins?

You weren't talking about collective guilt?

My family and the families of most living Americans had no connection to slavery.

Ha! Republicans are a party for "inadequates (sic) and haters"? Tell that to Dr. Alan Keyes or Herman Cain. Rather, it is hyperlib Demos who treat the Black community, and all minorities, like herds of domesticated farm animals on their political welfare "plantations". These cynical, scheming liberal Democrats have pushed subsistence welfare giveaways at minorities for decades in return for "the Black vote", "the Latino vote", etc., without which they would vanish from the American political landscape....

 

Democrat motto: Slavery is our business - stealing is our business plan.

 

I would argue that more blacks hate whites than the other way around. At least here in America. Many black Americans are openly racist and it is socially accepted. No one will call them out on it. In fact, racist black comics get paid well to stand up on stage and trash white people for an hour. Conversely, most white Americans are politically correct to a fault. They won't even say anything about black people even if it's true because they are so afraid of being called racist.

Thus, the few examples of legitimate anti-black racism by whites stand out so sharply to most people here because they never hear them. So it's a shock to the system when they actually do. Meanwhile anti-white racism by blacks is so common that most people don't even recognize it as racist anymore. It's just normal.

But that's America. It might be different elsewhere. I have no idea.

 

Ok, How many geniuses do you think are racist? Now ask yourself how many redneck morons do you think are racist?

Racism = Ignorance

 

Our legacy of slavery and segregation combined with modern problems connected to the black community make it easy to dislike black people here.

It doesn't excuse racism, but it helps explain why it still exists.

Some black people fit the stereotype, and hiphop culture often only encourages stereotypical behavior.

Tupac had plenty of critics, but back in the 90s, rap in general was at least more coherent. Even gangsta rap had more to say then than most of the repetitive nonsense that comes out now.

It's not that music determines the fate of a culture, but it certainly has an influence to a degree. Unfortunately, much of black culture has become extremely materialistic. Granted, some of white culture is as well.

Overall, some people make the mistake of assuming that the stereotypes among black people are the norm. When making this assumption, it's easy to become racist.
