Why do some people avoid black people??? They are same as white people...?

Answer 1

I don't know......I avoid offensive folks from ALL ethnic backgrounds and nationalities. Being black has nothing to do with it for me....Although at my job, some black people avoid white people....I guess it will take some time.

Answer 2

Because when you put black and white together, black always dominates.


Ok you have to understand it's still a pretty new concept of having black people and white people together. When our parents and our grandparents were young they learned from their parents that black people were bad throughout all their lives. So they took the hate from their parents and spread it onto their children. Why do you believe in God? How do you know what being good is? You learn all these things from your parents and they follow you in life. Your parents teach you from an early age what is good, what is bad and they teach you all your beliefs. You practically learn everything you carry in your life from your parents. The hard thing is having this misinformation that people of other races are bad, stop with us.

I'll say it'll be another 50-100 years before Black and White are truly one. We just have to keep intermingling and teach our kids that there is nothing wrong with someone of a different race.


*EDIT - Easyboy gets my vote for the 10 points. Even if it didn't really answer the question, that was a great poem, i already wrote it down because i have never thought of it that way.

Answer 3

Some people are racest, some people of depending on how they were brought up never seen a black person and do not know what to do because they always see thing on TV that make them think is he a bad guy is he going to do rob me or what. Some are jelious because some white women are attracted to them for one reason or another. Some are just plain ignorant and can not see past the color of the skin but some black people are just the same like the one described. So we are the same in many different ways. If everyone could just see past the color of the skin.

Answer 4

People are comfortable with the familiar. You can say that they are the same as white people, but that is not what the media (and I am talking about advertising, entertainment and news) portrays. I would also venture to guess that most black poeple would disagree with your generalized statement. Biologically, we are all essentially the same. Your surrounds and upbringing has a lot to do with who you are.

I grew up in a town that was predominantly italian / irish / portugese. I my high scholl of about 900 students we had less than a dozen black students across the four classes. I was friendly with the one black kid on my football team, but he was not in my tight group of friends and now I only see him at reunions.

When I got out of the small town and went to a large university and an incoming freshman class of about 4000 (1987). There were more black people than high school, but I only gto friendly with the one kid who lived on my wing of the dorm and lost touch with him after the freshman year. My field was engineering, and it was essentailly white, arab & asian.

Moved back to the area I grew up in and went into the construction/engineering industry (which is extremely dominated by white males). I was friendly with a black surveyor and spent a lot of time with him on the job - but I went to one job, he another and we lost touch.

I lived in two towns of predominatly upper middle class people and, once again, there is very little minority representation.

Would I fall into your category? Without explanation, thats what most people would have said about me. My friends (both work and social) are white. I don't have much contact with black people in either work or home life. I don't feel like I am a racist - I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. The circumstances of my life have dictated how I arrive at this point in my life.

Answer 5

Ignorance and a monophobic society You are a racist if u are not willing to have friends from another race or would not marry say a black person or at least have a relationship with one. Black people always say white people are racist against them but the fact is many black people have no time for whites they make no effort to be friends with them. You often see inter marragies so it is changing the Black race is the most dominant in Numbers in the world Dark skinned like Spanish Brazilian never say they are black it is almost as if you are to be ashamed of your colour.

Answer 6

Some say ignorance, others say stupidity. It's mostly stereotypes and the lack of values a person has. If people feed into what they see and hear in the media, then people will keep being avoided.

Answer 7

They are afraid of them.

Black people have more pigment in the skin, because they come from a country with more sun (or lesser athmospheric particles which protect the skin). If you take 100.000 white people and send them to a very sunny country, their (grant-grant-~~~)children will become less white. Finally, in many thousand years, they will become black. That's all there is to it.

So, white racists dislike science. They know that they are dumb, but are proud of it. Or, they are so dumb that they don't know that they are dumb.

Answer 8

You are right, whatever color we wear, we are all created by the same God. People who avoid black people think they are higher and more supreme. Our color is not what matters but what is in the heart of every person.

Answer 9

It works both ways. I don't avoid black people, they just don't live where I do.

Answer 10

Because they're taught to by their peers or parents. A 5 year old won't give a **** if any of his friends are black or white.
