Racist People?

Question

Lately I've seen too many questions about race and such. It is the year 2006, and we as a nation has gotten over so much. With the war going on, soldiers dying everyday, with what happen with Hurricane Katrina, and any other disasters America has had to deal with recently, why are people so stuck on the race card. I'm so tired of hearing about White people talking down Blacks, or Mexicans, Jewish, or any other NON White group. I mean come on, if you are a racist I'm calling you out. There are just as much whites killing people as they are Blacks and Mexicans. There just as many unemployed teen mothers black as they are white. There are many poor struggling white people that are working pay check to pay check as they're blacks. I'm getting off track, but I really want to know. Why with everything that is going on in America are people still hung up over race??? Get over it, its 2006!!!

Okay everyone, I am NOT attacking white people. Black people use the race card all the time.

Answer 1

you know david..i went to the last website that you posted...i wonder if you could translate those statistics into actual numbers...for example, if you killed one person and i killed two...the difference is only one person...however, if someone says that i killed twice as many people as you did...it sounds like alot more, dosent it?

one of the best books i ever read was 'the culture of fear' by barry glassner. it's basically about how statistics are misused by the media, radicals, liberals and bigots in order to promote their own agendas.

to answer the question...the reason why people are still hung up on race is basically because of ignorance from all RACES. no one is willing to question what they see or what they hear and they take everything at face value. racists rely on that type of ignorance to persuade people to see things their way. not just whites but blacks as well.

Answer 2

It's 2006, and people like you have been taking the world in the wrong direction for the past 70 years. The racists are right, and they have always been right. You think you know what you're talking about, but you're wrong. Listen to the racists; they're been studying race and thinking while you've been studying how to be polite. They've been seeing what's there; you've been imagining what you wish was there.

fee20002000 my numbers came from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, which you can see in original form on the FBI's website. I've put a link to it in my sources. The data are the national totals for murder arrests, broken down by race of the arrestee. There is no issue with small sample size. The sample size is large. The relevant statistic is the number of arrests for murder divided by the population of the offender's race. From those numbers, I determine the per capita rate ratio, Black to White, for murder perpetration.

Blacks are 9 times more prone to kill somebody or other than Whites are. Blacks are 18 times more prone to commit interracial murder than Whites are. Blacks are 21 times more likely to murder Whites than the reverse.

You can do the math, too, if you will try. It's just arithmetic. White racism, at least, isn't caused by ignorance. It's caused by knowledge. It isn't a failing or a flaw; it is a virtue which, in more general application, has another name: honesty.

Answer 3

Wow. You're pissed. I agree with everything you say. However, I fear that it's not going to change. Not to mention, our society has managed to develop into something very strange and I fear dangerous: minorities are allowed to be openly racist toward white people, and white people can lose everything from a job to friends and social standing for simply being labeled a racist. I grew up in this "white man can't jump/dance etc.. era, so I'm used to it. As I get older, I am slowly seeing racism among white people grow or maybe I wasn't exposed to it. But white people are making more public comments about other races, I think. Again, maybe I'm wrong.
I like how you said this is 2006. We all need to get past racism. It's stupid, and a waste of energy. Hating someone for any reason other than their personality is not cool.

Answer 4

Well,I am not judging and i am not racist but a part of yours seemed a bit,and if we are going to call out then we should bring this to the front "White people talking down Blacks, or Mexicans, Jewish, or any other NON White group".Racists are just those who dont understand each other. We tend to try to understand and we get frustrated when we cant understand something as hard as we try.Not one person in this world is alike many dont understand each other.Its just a matter of mind,if we think we dont like them and instead of dealing with each individual we catagorize them all into a bad catagory no matter what the race more than likely we arent going to like them because we wont give them a chance.Not one person is a like,each person has something different and unique to contribute to the world,so....we should let them do it and accept them for who they are and look past colors on their skin who cares it doesnt make the person they are inside .

Answer 5

No matter what year it is there is still going to be racism. No matter how many wars we are fighting in other countries there is still going to be racism. It will never go away. There are too many people in this country that can not get past the color of someones skin. Some of us have learned to deal with it. Until those people understand that God created everyone equal and when the lights go out we are all the same color, then we will continue to live in a racist society.

Answer 6

I am white.
It seems like you are targeting us.
I do not care about your color.
However, I hear comments about race mainly from blacks.
Look at the statistics.
Blacks do not have good ones as an average.
Let go of feelings about white people.
We would like to see you succeed and get over the hatred.
But you have to look inward.
With Mexicans, Asians and other passing up blacks, you cannot play the race card anymore.
Just be yourself and don't worry about your color.
Whites just could care less and you are holding yourself back.
Love.

Answer 7

Actually I think you were attacking white people with that statement. The race card was used QUITE HEAVILY BY people in NEW ORLEANS after Hurricane Katrina...didn't you see Kanye West and Jesse Jackson? Did you miss that part??

Answer 8

It's something we non-whites have to deal with everyday. However, we have even been silenced in that as we are accused of pulling the "race card" all the time. So, once again, we should smile and nod and pretend like it still doesn't happen or somehow it's our own personal shortcomings that we have not been able to overcome the daily battles of existing in a country that clearly hates us and lets it show every chance they get.

Answer 9

Wow. This is most likely critical. People simply presume that your profile snapshot is meant to to seem very similar to you. I realize precisely the way you suppose. My drawback is vice versa, I use white profile images by and large however I'm honestly black. They're both making use of sensible feel and aren't when you consider that this alternative or are randomly guessing.

Answer 10

Your right. Too many people of all races want to hang on to all the old baggage instead of moving ahead. I think it's because they can then have a group of people to point too and say, they're the reason I failed or I can't make it. Bull. People of all races, who started out on the lowest rung, have pulled themselves up and made something of their lives. And I'm not just talking about money and things. I'm also talking about having happy lives.
