It's not that we hate black people per say. It's that we don't like some of the things they do and get away with. Same goes with white people. Color has nothing to do with it at all.
We are taught by God's word to love your neighbor as thyself.If we live by this then there is no way we could hate anyone and love God at the same time. He also said "forgive your enemies as I have fogiven you"
Another teaching is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you:. Now how can that be hate?
Even if you hate me, I still love you. God bless you.

Some people are just rude like that. I am white and the way I was raised was to respect every one no matter the color, to me it's not the color it's whats inside that matters. My 9 year old son was watching TV with me the other day and my mom was here we were watching a baby story and this couple was black and white, what I mean is the man was white and the woman was black my son looked at me and says mommy can I marry a black lady, I told him you can marry any one you want to marry as long as you both treat each other with respect you both deserve and you love each. My mom looked at me and said she would disown us if he did something like that. I told her well then you are not welcome in my house if you are going to be like that. Because I raise my kids to respect everyone no matter the color and my best friend for 15 years is black and we are close as close can get.

It's all in how people are raised. Bigotry & prejudice are all about ignorance and fear. You fear that which you do not understand. And you can't understand something if you aren't taught the truth about it, or if your knowledge is based on misunderstanding in the first place.
It's also about the need to feel superior. It's much easier to put someone else down than it is to face your own shortcomings.
There's not much you can do about bigotry. You can try to educate people, but some people just don't want to know. So they believe in their own "superiority", and tell themselves that they're the best and that other groups (white, black, hispanic, Catholic, Muslim, whatever) are beneath them in everyway. Then they teach their kids the same lesson, and so it goes...

I truly believe that intolerance is instilled into an individual while growing up. It's racial hatred that is passed down from generation to generation...from way back (history)...
I've told this story before and I will tell it again more detailed: when I lived in Germany I witnessed a Mom telling her son to quit yapping and yelling by scaring him saying, "If you don't stop, the Black Man will get you!" She then faced him towards a dark skinned person who happened to come out of the grocery store they were standing in front of,...and said: "See there's one coming!" The child was silent in an instance. The Black Man is a fairy tale figure in Germany, someone who was black because he was covered in coal....but this Mom used him totally out of context, because she couldn't get the child to stop whining. That small incident in that boy's life- I'm sure, made a big impact on him- enough to have an internal fear for life- to be always scared of people of darker color...and fear is a big factor. Fear causes for someone to feel threatened....thus the urge to be defensive at all times by masking it with a tough exterior.

Lady, you don't have to like everybody and everybody doesn't have to like you...its not a perfect world, and people come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and experience, that shape up their perspectives of the world around them.
As for blacks and white not liking each other, you have to look at the history for answer... this is one complicated question indeed, although my explanation previously can help you get an insight into this issue.
You don't have to kiss nobody's a**, its simply up to you, ur attitude, ur behavior that makes people around you treat you the way u want to be treated...and as for not liking some people, I would say u're not alone.

Sad to say, I think that there are truly mean, racial-hating people all over the world. And I bet there are as many racist blacks as there are whites as there are hispanics, and so on. I think that people become racists because of how they are raised and out of ignorance. Some people retreat behind a wall of hate any time they encounter something new or something they can't understand. A lot of racial hatred is caused by people feeling threatened or coerced by others. Thanks for such a thought provoking question.

well black people have never really liked white people becuz of slavery and how they treated them way back then. so now that hate carries on through some black ppl and some r racist. white ppl don't like black people becuz some still don't agree with black people's freedom. some don't agree with how black people act, talk, walk, dress. i'm not a racist person becuz i like all types of different people. i don't judge ppl by their skin, sexuality, religion, or none of that. there are good people in all types of different forms. sometimes it feels to me though that people want black people to be the same as them. but everybody is different and our black culture is different than everybody elses. chinese people's culture is different than everybody elses. same with white ppl, japanese, latino, and etc. nobody is the same and i think some people have a problem accepting that we are all different and we are all equal now.

Sad to say, but racism is heavy today. The only difference is people have to watch what they say. Racism is for the stupid and uneducated. Usually, they hate because they are in a bad situation (poor) and they take thier frustrations out on others instead of inproving thier. No, you don't have to kiss up to others, just be yourself. There are plenty of people that would respect you for the way you are.

The only people I don't like are idiots, no matter what color they are. There will always be some people out there that stereotype races based on personal experiences. Unfortunately, bigotry will be with us for life and I don't see it going away. People need to teach their children at a young age that race hating is wrong.

Because they're prejudiced and dumb... Color means nothing as there are assholes of every color... I don't care what color people are, just what they're about as a person... Of course you're not going to like someone if they dislike you for your color! Why would you? And don't take sh*t either. But also even if you know they don't like you but they aren't harassing you make sure you don't lash out at them 'cause you want to come out on top and as the better person. Let them look like the fools that they are...
