i dont get why all my black friends when we get together make the one white guy feel like crap and he didnt ever do anything wrong i dont get why we have to run around like animals if we score a touchdown or when theres a riot i dont get why our women have to be so loud and obnoxious when there trying to make a point i dont get y we cant let stuff that happened 200 yrs ago go. i dont get why we are the most racist race in america but we cant admit it. im not tryin to be an uncle tom im just so embarresed and i want it to stop. we pretend like we agree with martin luther king but were the ones that wont allow whites and blacks to get along ive been around whites and blacks and ive seen waaaaay more blacks being racist to whites than the other way around i hate it!

I DONT GET WHY YOU ARE GENERALIZING
AND SLAVERY WAS FOR 400 YEARS.
THE REASON THAT SOME(NOT ALL) BLACKS CANT LET IT GO IS BEACAUSE:THINK ABOUT IT,95% OF US DONT KNOW WHAT PART OF AFRICA WE COME FROM OR OUR AFRICAN CULTURES.
WE DONT HAVE OUR AFRICAN LAST NAMES EITHER.
DO YOU KNOW HOW EMPTY A PERSON CAN FEEL WHEN THEY DONT KNOW THEIR BACKGROUND.
YOU ARE NOTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW WHERE YOU COME FROM.
AND WHY ARE YOU EMBARESSED TO BE BLACK?
OTHER RACES ARE GUILTY OF WRONG DOING.
I UNDERSTAND YOU BEING ANGRY AT THE BLACKS THAT ARE NEGATIVE BUT DON'T LET THAT GET YOU DOWN.
AS MUCH AS WE HAVE DONE ON THIS EARTH YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ASHAMED OF BEING BLACK.
AND IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE THE MOST RACIST.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU GOT THAT FROM.
SURE SOME BLACKS HATE WHITES BUT THINK ABOUT WHO STARTED ALL OF THIS.
IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE US FROM OUR LAND,RAPE US,KILL US AND ,TORTURE US,THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR (SOME OF US)TO HATE THEM.
AND ON THE OTHER HAND ITS LIKE SO WHAT.
THEY GET TO BE RACIST AGAINST US BUT WE CANT DO IT TO THEM?
AND FOR GOD SAKES,STOP GENERALIZING!!!!!!!
I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.
YOU SHOULD REALLY GO TO A LIBRARY AND READ ABOUT BLACK HISTORY.
THAT IS DEEP,YOU DISLIKING YOURSELF.
IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT YOU ARE TIRED OF IGNORANT BLACKS(AND I AM TOO)AND IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT YOU WANT TO BE WHITE.
IT WASN'T NICE FOR YOU TO INSULT YOUR OWN KIND PUBLICALLY EITHER.
THE WAY YOU JUST LUMPED ALL BLACKS TOGETHER IS JUST WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT "ALL OF US" BEING RACIST.
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE RACIST ABOUT YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
I CAN NEVER IMAGINE THE STATE OF MIND AND THE SELF HATRED YOU HAVE.
IT'S REALLY SAD.
I HOPE YOU GET YOUR ISSUES IN ORDER.
P.S.
AND THANKS FOR ASKING THIS QUESTION.
YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ALL OF THE RACIST A CHANCE TO VENT THEIR HATRED OUT ON OUR PEOPLE.
AND WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH JEWS?
AND WHY DO YOU REFER TO THEM AS SATANIC?
P.P.S.
AND NO YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR PEOPLE IF YOU SAY "ALL" OF THEM ACT LIKE ANIMALS.
AND YOU KEEP GIVING EXAMPLES OF HOW (SOME)BLACKS TREATED WHITES(I GUESS YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE YOUR POINT BUT YOU ARENT)SO I'LL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES:HOW ABOUT IN THE EARLIER TIMES WHEN LITTLE BLACK GIRLS AGES 7-12 WERE BEING RAPED OPENLY IN THE STREETS.
OR HOW ABOUT BLACKS BEING HUNTED DOWN EVERYDAY AND HUNG FROM TREES(YOU PROBABLY THINKING IM TALKING ABOUT THE 1800S)NO.
THIS HAS BEEN RECENT LIKE THE 1960S AND 1970S.
OR HOW ABOUT THE HORRIFIC EXPERIMENTS THAT HITLER CONDUCTED ON BLACK MEN BECAUSE HE WANTED TO CREATE AN ARMY OF SUPER SOILDIERS AND TRIED TO EXTRACT THE COLOR OFF OF THE BLACK MENS SKIN.
OR HOW ABOUT 5 YRS AGO WHEN THE BLACK MAN WAS DRAGGED TO DEATH FROM THE BACK OF THE WHITE GUYS PICK UP TRUCK.
I BET YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE BLACK HOLOCOST.
YES THERE WAS A BLACK ONE TOO.
OR THE AFRICAN CHILDREN BEING MUTILATED BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO TIRED TO LIFT 40LBS OF BRICKS AND WORKING 20 HRS A DAY.
THEIR PUNISHMENT WAS GETTING AN ARM OR HAND CUT OFF.
NO WAIT THERES MORE!!!!!
THE BURIEL GROUND HERE IN NY CITY HAS THE BONES OF AFRICAN SLAVES.
WHAT THEY FOUND WAS THAT THE SHOULDERS OF THE AFRICAN MEN,WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE SHIFTED.
EVEN DISLOCATED FROM CARRYING AROUND HEAVY MATERIAL.
STUFF LIKE THIS WENT ON FOR 4HUNDRED YEARS BUT I GUESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO TAKE YOURSELF TO A LOCAL LIBRARY AND READ UP ON IT.
IT WILL SHOCK,DISTURB AND HORRIFY YOU.
BRING YOU TO TEARS.
WE BUILT THE PYRAMIDS,THE FIRST PERSON TO INVENT A HEART TRASPLANT WAS A BLACK MAN(AMONG THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF INVENTIONS) AND WE WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE HERE.
WE CREATED LANGUAGE,TOOLS,THE FIRST SCHOOL WAS IN AFRICA,WE HAD KINGDOMS,WE DID SO MUCH.
BUT I GUEES ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS THE HARRASMENT OF WHITE PEOPLE WHICH COULD NEVER COMPARE TO WHAT WE WENT THROUGH.
INSTEAD OF POSTING THAT RACIST COMMENT(IT REALLY IS)YOU SHOULD'VE POSTED A WAY TO BETTER OURSELVES.
A WAY TO END RACISM.
DON'T COMPLAIN BE PART OF A SOLUTION.
HOW CAN WE TAKE BETTER CARE OF OUR CHILDREN,GET A BETTER EDUCATION.
BY YOU POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS YOU ARE NOT HELPING AT ALL AND NO BETTER THAT A KKK MEMBER.
SORRY BUT IT'S TRUE.
PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO ALL RACES!!!!!!!
AND WHAT WAS UP WITH YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT SPANISH KID?
NO OFFENSE BUT YOU NEED HELP.
WORK IT OUT BRO.
GOD LOVES YOU AND I LOVE YOU AND I'LL PRAY FOR YOU.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTIVES.

if u don't like your friends, separate yourself from them, don't come on the internet and blast my people(and i guess yours too). If you've ever been the only black person in a white circle, you should understand the situation.
People mistake being race conscious for being racist. Just cause black people aren't as afraid as their counterparts to talk about issues of race, doesn't make them racist. If so, then the people you are talking about are racist to all even their own.
But there is nothing wrong with being aware of race, especially in this country. The ethnicity of a man in this country has been the back drop of this country since before its inception. It use to be blatant. Now it's part of everything. For example the man who gives a job to someone he knows over the more qualified person. It might not be cause he's black, but I bet you the black person would never have got into the mans network to be friends enough to get the job.
MLKs message isn't being fulfilled by either side. Don't say just blacks aren't getting along.
when did the last, lets say 50 years, come to equal the 350 or so years that we had no rights in this country? The fight for equality should be nowhere near over.
We're a disenfranchised people. There is always a chip on the shoulders of those who have been slighted and mistreated. If there were enough American Indians still around, they would be mad too.
Truly, you can't be black. No black person I've ever known would start some stuff like being ashamed to be black. Yes we have our faults, but so do they. You think their **** smells like roses or somethin?

Jermaine, A few minutes ago, I read an answer you gave to a Spanish person asking why people are offended when he speaks Spanish. Sorry, but your answer was obscene and down right nasty. So then I checked your profile and found that you also posted a couple of questions today in which you basically state that no Jews showed up for work on 9/11 because they apparently knew what was going to happen. You also accused Jews of being responsible for many bad things in the world. Now you are posting a question in which you state you are ashamed to be black because you feel that the majority of black people are very prejudiced but won't admit it.
I can't figure this out. No one person can possibly hold all these contradictory opinions, so what's up with that? Are you perhaps a student of sociology doing research work for your thesis, and seeing how people react to hate filled statements? Or are you just playing with us?
Just wondering.

Well unfortunately you cannot change the world, but you can set an example and stick to your beliefs. That shows how big of a person you are. Dont let the racists convince you otherwise, or turn you around. Racism is something experienced in every race, but we dont all have to be racists.
Stay strong, you will feel better, and dont hate your origin, just prove that being a certain color, doesnt make you racist.

You should never be ashamed of who you are. Sure, there are some bad, messed up black people that are a disgrace to our race but there are many more alive and dead that you shame by posting a message like this. Point blame where it is due and don't condemn an entire race because of the actions of a few ignorant people. Reading your post makes me very ashamed of you. You obviously have not made any effort to educate yourself about the rich heritage and history of African American people. There is much to be proud of. If you are ashamed to be black there are probably some deeper issues that perhaps you and a psychiatrist can discuss but don't insult us all because you have issues with yourself.

The question is, how can we, as a whole society, work together to end all racism? The unfortunate thing is that it is still alive and kicking, the problem now is that people are being discriminated against for more than just their skin color. People are discriminated against because of their jobs, clothing size, physical or mental handicaps. Granted, in the 40 some odd years since Dr. King, we have come along way, but we still have a long way to go.

Not all racists are white. Anyone, of any color or ethnic group, can be a racist when he or she belittles another race. Some time look at the way the American Indians are treated in New Mexico and Arizona. I guess every race has people in it who have to do something so that they can feel superior to another race or group. Maybe someday, if we're very lucky, people will actually learn that racial and ethnic diversity strengthens the human race rather than weakens it.

I can't find your question, but no matter who you are, you can't do a thing about what others do. What you can do is be such a shining light in your neighborhood that others would be proud to be your friend. Just be the best person that you can be. Live an exemplary life. You might want to look up Rosa Young by way of a search engine. She's one woman that you would have been proud to be friends with. The Lord's peace be with you.

Most good people hate it too. I don't like racism either, but I don't think it is mainly black people. I live in a town where there are only about 5 blacks. And everyone is very racist in my town. Well not everyone but most about 5 out of 6. It is very embarrasing. Too bad no one can get overthemselves.

Well, I think what you have to do is remember that you are an individual., and people cannot speak or act for you. All you can do is live impeccably. If you know in your heart that you are an honest and good person, than you should worry about the behavior of others.
Just don't generalize!!! Don't lump people together and say they are ALL like they, because they aren't.
