Why do blacks think whites owe them something?

Question

I never had slaves. Thing about it their own people sold them.

Answer 1

WELL I DON'T THINK THAT YOU OWE ME ANYTHING.
THE PROBLEM WITH YOU IS THAT YOU ARE GENERALIZING.
YOU ARE ANGRY THAT SOME BLACKS THINK THAT ALL WHITES OWE THEM BUT YOU ARE DOING THE SAME THING AS THOSE BLACKS.

YOU HAVE BEEN POSTING RACIST COMMENTS ON THIS SITE JUST TO START TROUBLE AND/OR GET A RISE OUT OF SOMEONE.
IT'S VERY SAD.
IT'S A SAD WAY TO LIVE.
GOD CREATED US ALL ON THIS EARTH NOT TO HATE BUT TO LOVE.

YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT THE WAY YOU THINK IS WRONG.
BUT I STILL LOVE YOU AND GOD LOVES YOU.
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE MADE DISGUSTING GENERALIZATIONS AND COMMENTS ABOUT MY RACE.

YOUR MIND HAS BEEN BRAINWASHED BY HATE AND YOU REALLY NEED TO GET YOURSELF TOGETHER.
HATE IS LIKE A CANCER AND CAN EAT YOU UP INSIDE.
I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN TO PEOPLE.

BUT I'LL PRAY FOR YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HATE TOWARDS ANYBODY IN THEIR HEART.

PEACE AND LOVE 2 ALL RACES!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I think the question would be better, "Why do SOME blacks." Otherwise you are assuming something that just isn't true. Many African Americans don't think that at all and make their own successes.

I think that the liberal media and the democrats have fostered this idea. The media does it because it makes a controversial story, the democrats do it to get votes. The ironic thing is that the president who signed the Emancipation Proclamation was the first Republican president. All the democrat presidents before him did nothing to stop slavery. Oh, and did Clinton have any highly placed African Americans in his Cabinet? Not that anyone ever heard of. GW had 2, Powell and Rice. Of course an African American friend of mine referred to those two individuals as being both traitors to their race and "oreos" which I thought was appalling and untrue.

Its too bad this type of thing happens at all. All that type of attitude does is foster raceism. I hope that someday everyone will just get along but I'm not counting on it.

Answer 3

Well, I don't think you or anyone else on the face of this earth owe me anything!! Every person that has ever lived will pay for all the bad things they've done through death. So don't ask such an ignorant question when you haven't done all the reasearch. Maybe the ones that say you owe them something have a reason to believe that you do. Now go read a book!!!

Answer 4

It might have something to do with the facts of history.Ya think!! uggggg!! They were ripped from the lands they lived in for thousands of years.Taken to countries all over the world.Not just America. Treated worse than the animals they were made to tend to.They were not allowed to be educated in anything more than what they were to be used for by their captors.They were slowly set free by. In my eyes the greatest man who ever lived in America.Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Then although they were free on paper.They were not allowed to be classified as equals.Because of prejudice thinking by the white races and cultures that enslaved them in the first place.As for their own people selling them.Think hard on this one.It was for the times.Do or die simply put.If a black man refused to sell another.Then he was either plagued by a harder life.If he conformed. Life for him and those he was allowed to have as family lived a wee little better than most other slaves.Arrrrrgggg Ease up on all the prejudice thinking.WHITE OR BLACK!! Actually I think that should have been abolished along with slavery. ARGGGG!! . We should all be doing something positive to change their perspective-By abolishing Predjudice thinking white or Black, Writings, Spoken words and any other forms used .That tend to make Black people think we owe them something.We do in my eyes and so it should be for the world.This is just my opinnion.By the way! I am white in skin and all colourful to the world.WILLIEGOGO:

Answer 5

Its always easier to blame someone else for your misfortune...they forgot that a white man helped free them...i don't know anyone that owned a slave. Their own people did sale them but the whites bought them, that makes a difference in their eyes.I don't owe no one but the bill collectors and my son.

Answer 6

The stain of slavery still exists today. Think about it this way: If part of your history involved a couple hundred years of forced servitude by blacks, and even in the twentieth century, because of black bigotry, you still couldn't eat in the same restaurants, sleep in the same hotels, drink from the same fountains, go to the same schools and had to ride in the back of public transportation, wouldn't you still feel a sense of entitlement?

Answer 7

They think we owe them some thing because of what our ancestors did to them . But we did not do any thing to them it was our ancestors . Most people reconise that it was wrong to in slave them and make them work.

Answer 8

Because their great, great grandparents were slaves and all whites treat them unfairly, and they have been oppressed by everyone and discriminated against, because George Bush is president and...who knows what else???

Answer 9

GOOD QUESTION. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER. I'D SURE LOVE TO HEAR THE REASON. BUT THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE WHOLE SLAVE STORY BULLSH!T. THEY JUST LIKE TO BLAME WHITES FOR THEIR OWN FAULTS. WE DONT MAKE THEM SELL DRUGS, LIVE OFF WELFARE, ROB STORES, RAPE WHITE WOMEN ETC. THEY DO ALL THAT ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL.

Answer 10

Because of the steady stream of rhetoric from the media and politicians.
