You can't talk so generally like that. EVERYONE is different. A person that has something against a race DOESN'T want to be like them, and a person that wants to be like them DOESN'T have anything against them. So don't generalize. Accept each and every person as one individual.

Hate's probably too strong - it's more in the ballpark of dislike. Evaluate your statement - you automatically assume I don't accept you for the color of skin. You make it an issue. All of "y'all." Blacks that go to school are dismissed for "acting white," and deride their fellow "n!ggas" for getting decent grades. Among the youth (I teach high school in Cincinnati) today, I see black kids that think that working in music or sports is it - the only ticket out of the ghetto (Over the Rhine here).
There are some stereotypes that whites believe - blacks are loud (and proud of it), illiterate, non-voting, slow, quick to anger and accuse and lack accountability. We (whites) don't want that in the neighborhoods...it's trash, be it black or white - we want people that are productive members of society.
The difference is that white trash doesn't feel a need to migrate and chew up other areas like so many locusts. The black trash does - they migrate from urban areas and expect everyone to make way since there is no 40 acres and a mule. Section 8 housing has made this all the more common. At least white trash stays in trailer parks (or very small towns).
I really wouldn't want you or your pimped out ride in my neighborhood. You say, "We act a certain way for a reason,and that reason was because we needed something of our own to have." Then go have it somewhere else. Keep it away from me and my family.
You've accepted mediocrity - and you're the worse for it.

Uh, bruh, I can't agree with you totally. Yeah, I'm cooler than most, I talk different, look different, act different, listen to different music, have different interests, and dress a lot more professional than most of my co-workers. However, this isn't hard, it comes natural. Sure we have some wannabe's out there, but if someone wanted to do some of the things I do, I welcome it to our culture, at least they aren't hating on us.
There are enough people that look at us and hate us for us to get mad when they try to accept us. Man, get off of that victim/high horse mentality, that is why we are so seperate now.
Skin color does matter, but it doesn't have to always mean a problem with people with different colors. Is education a strength of yours? We would be in a much better place right now if blacks could start teaching their kids that it is more important than walking and talking different. Listening to rap, playing basketball, learning how to dog someone's mom, having the new Jordans, etc. This is destroying our race, not only setting us apart... People except me enough for me to make it. I know it is more important to have a home than a car, to own not rent, to build equity not build debt, to leave my kids money not a bill when I die. Sure, everyone with half a brain understands that, but how many of us KNOW and LIVE this? Far too few.
We don't give people a reason to like us, we are too busy trying to be hard. If nothing else we want them to know we can fight. If we can't fight, we buy a gun. Our youth are more likely to go to prison than college. Are you freakin' kidding me? I don't know any white person that wants these problems. I don't want these problems. I want their problems, whether to buy this stock or put some money in a mutual fund. Do I max out my 401k, get an IRA, or buy some land? Stop complaining and fix something...

That is kinda funny. But not all of us white people hate blacks. I dont! The big thing I believe is back in the day when evolution was stirring back up because of Darwin's book. He hated blacks. People started thinkin that because the skin is darker it must mean they haven't evolved as far as white people from apes. That is what they really believed! Hitler had the same idea. He believed in evolution too. Sorry! It has gotten better with the whole white vs. black issue tho, don't ya think? Don't know what to tell ya about the wanna-bes'.

Not sure I agree with all your points, but I will give you this, races and other differences among groups of people (religion, nationality, etc) are differences. Some people hate that which is different, some embrace and cast aside that which they already have, and some just learn to appreciate the differences and look at them objectively. I try to be in that last group, but sometimes I get upset when I see how women and minorities are treated in hard core rap videos. That's when I step back and try to separate the individual from what they are TRYING to imply about a race or group. I know people of many different races and creeds and one thing I know is this: Idiocy is an equal opportunity employer!

I think most white people today are a little imitated by us. But I admit it is weird that they want to copy us. I did some research for an essay at school about how many white women today are spending money on plastic surgery to look more like ethnic women. (tan skin, curly hair, big lips, big butt, you get my point?) Yet, a REAL black woman is still consider inferior beauty to a white women who is only pretending. Yeah, I hear you.
Edit: Oh yeah, I meant say this. (I forgot in the heat of the moment) Not all white people are like that though. I think the media has more to do with this than the general public. But I can understand your frustration, believe me I go through this s-hit all the time.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong on both accounts. Not all white people hate black people and not all white people want to be like black people. Take me, for instance. I have nothing against you or any other black person. But I don't want to be black. Do I want police hassling me just for my skin color? No. And I don't like hip-hop! People are different and skin color doesn't determine that difference. Culture does.

That is an extremely racist question. Not all White peolpe want to be like Black people. Not all White people are racist. There are Black people who are more racist than a lot of White people, and apparently you are one of them. There are just as many Black people who "act White" as there are White people who "act Black". Actions can't belong to a certain race. If White people act a certain way, then it obviously isn't the Black culture. By saying that Black people have to act a certain way to be Black and White peole have to act a certain way to be White, then the fight for equality obviously skipped over you. If you can't respect the culture you've chosen enough to embrace different people joinging together to improve upon it, then you don't deserve to use it as an example to cite your own hatred.
Enjoy being reported.

I am considered "white". I don't wish to speak, dress, or dance like "blacks".
I don't need to walk in your shoes because I see first hand the difficulties that arise in society just for being black.
Be aware that things are changing. Your children will not suffer the way you do, just as your parents had it worse than you.
hang in there and please let go of some of that anger..or channel it into something positive. Don't hate. Bcause then you become as sick as the bigots.

It is the ignorant white people that hate black people, or are racist...and they ruin it for the people who think whatever color you are, you are still human and equal...
It doesn't make a difference what color you are...everyone is the same, you know? I wish all the hatred and racism from all these ignorant people(blacks and whites..not just whites...there are black people who hate whites) would just go away....it would be a much better place. Everyone needs to learn to get along. So don't think all white people are that way, because they are not.

Dayum bro... I am married to a white chick, honkey, call it what you want, call me what you want her uncle Tom, the token *****, the cotton picker if you want. But I think you got it all wrong (twisted) not all whites hate blacks and vice versa, its thinking like yours that never let some brotha man out of the hood. What you got wrong is that they are following a style its called Urban, or hip hop whateva, but its not proprietary to the blacks.
Man you gotta get off that hate tree and learn! Learn from one another.
You know what white people and black people have in common, they both hate ignorant people... and illegal mexicans..... but they all love the china man!
