I'd like to know how racism affects you becasue it has cetainly affected me...

I'm 2/5 white and 3/5 black and most of my life I have been ashamed of being black because of how people have treated me and the nasty names people have called me. And I admit I unforunatly joined in so I would not be made fun of. But know I am very proud to be black and if people hate me, or won't date me because of my race then I don't need them in my life anyways.
So... how does racism affect you??

According to my friend, the majority is being suppressed by the minority. In his opinion whites are treated poorly for the fact that people dislike what earlier whites have done. He says that whites are no longer free to say anything they want to say for fear that the NAACP will come after them with the reason of not being politically correct. He claims that this is happening in the mainland and that white people are now the worst treated race in the whole U.S. I would like to no your opinion on this. Maybe some cited places to visit and take a look at.

Blacks are called afro-americans, indians native-americans, people from Asia, Asian-americans. It seems the only type called simply( and truly?) americans are white people. Isn't this the great con of the century or what?

My english is not perfect. I kno it. Anyways, why are americans always put White women on high and they did nothing for it? But black women are put down when they have already been through so much. In russia I am taking a black american class but I hear that americans don't even take classes like that they hate them so much. Why?

Why do some black women think that if a black man is rich he is a 'good black man'. just because a black man is educated and succesful in life doesn't mean that he is a good man. I have been out with succesful and not so succesful black men, and found that the succesful ones were arrogant, selfish and felt that '' i couldn't do without him'' and would take all kinds of liberties. whereas the not so successful ones were more respectful and treated me right. I love black men and dont care whether he is rich or not because its how he treats me emotionally,spiritually and mentally that matters the most, not the size of his wallet. any views?

Every place I go, I only see black security guards for the most part. This is not meant to be funny or a joke. I am really curious.

I found my family originated in Southern France. I found that some people there have Italian roots. This made me think even more when I saw my relatives who were from that area. They had tan skin, dark hair, and very dark hair. Does that mean I could be part Italian too?
