Answer 1

So when are you moving back to Africa?

Answer 2

My only comment to this is that in my opinion the only race there is the HUMAN race. To all the people that spouted off ignorant, racist comments to you all I can say is that people are stupid. Ah, one of the two things that transcends color, religion, etc. Stupidity and money. To all the people that assume that the only people on welfare are people of color, I suggest you spend a day down at your local welfare office. You'll be surprised to see that most of the black people you'll see are the ones working behind the desks handing out checks, not collecting them. As for diabetes, well fat people get diabetes too, and again doesn't matter about their color.
To you personally I think you should be proud of who you are and what you've accomplished, no matter what color you are. If I could apologize on behalf of the stupid people in the world I would, unfortunately I have a day job and a limited time on Earth.
Understandably you feel personally attacked, but you're living your life right, forget about stupid people with stupid opinions. My mother always told me that opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one, and they usually stink.
So do us all a favor, stay here in America, we need more smart people to help make it a better place to live.

Answer 3

Let it go in one ear and out of the other. People are ignorant and think that because on person is one way they they rest of them are the same way. Unfortunately for the black race because so many have just done bad, ben bad, and are still doing/being bad we all get put into the same category. No matter how well we are doing. No matter how much we are making things better for ourselves, but like I say there are so few of us doing well or striving to be well that all people see is the majority and unfortunately they are making it bad for all of us. When people direct a rude comment or reply to u they are usually speaking in general. I know I know it sucks to high heaven but now a days its our own fault. Were still trying to use "Cause I'M black" as an excuse and a reason for not accomplishing or getting things in life so others are doing the same. Now don't get me wrong there is still racism out there. A lot of it but now they are not just against blacks. They got gays, Muslims,Jews,Asians,Indians, Mexicans, etc.. The only people that aren't singled out, would be whites. But that just from my experiences.

Answer 4

So, sorry if I missed part 1,,but what's your race...It sounds like your black....I don't really know any black people at the moment, I have in the past...but there aren't very many in this part of the world (Vancouver,Canada).
Are you talking about a specific incident where you were insulted or just the jerks on this site....
You know we are not all prejudiced..but I'm afraid your request to tone it down a little is going to fall on deaf ears...because those of us who support you are not leaving the comments in the first place. Just don't think we're all like that. It's very easy to get a distorted view of the world from Yahoo answers.

Wow--JUST READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS ALREADY POSTED ON THIS QUESTION..THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE REALLY NASTY..YOU'RE RIGHT.

Answer 5

Asking people to tone it down is like asking the sun not to shine. It won't happen. We have been hated from the moment that we were brought to this country. You're going to have to do what other generations of Blacks have done: go on and live your life to the best of your ability and just know that it's their problem. For whatever reason many people refuse to acknowledge that you can be a decent, God fearing Black person who doesn't kill, rape, steal or live off of welfare. It makes people feel better about themselves when they put others down.

Answer 6

don't forget there are more blacks in jail than in college. Then there is the chicken and watermelon, and the dropout rate.
Get a life! Let me ask you a question what does all that have to do with you? There isn't a race on this earth that isn't surrounded by negativity.

PS The boat to Africa leaves in 4 hours get your tickets now.

Answer 7

Would you accept an apology from someone who does not care what color you are but is ashamed that others of my race have hurt you? We are all of the same race, the HUMAN race, but sadly few see it that way, and I'm sorry that so many can only feel good about themselves by making others feel bad. I agree, it's easy to be a smart*** online, why don't some them say it your face? Because they are cowards hiding behind a computer, the NEW KKK! (Another group that makes me ill)

Answer 8

It is ridiculous the way people stereotype based on race. There are reasons behind all those statistics people are so fond of giving to support their racism. I am not black and I get tired of it, it makes me nuts that they people can take the time to memorize the statistics yet can't take the time to find out why or what happens to those numbers if you break them down even further.

Answer 9

well I guess all of the racist people need to quit eating certain foods because it was the africans that introduced these foods to the american people. It is called soul food. watermelon, ribs, candied sweet potatoes or yams, greens and fried chicken. Carrot and Raisin salad. Fried corn. Hush puppies. Corn pone.Greens. Liver and onions. Lima beans with ham hocks. Stewed okra and tomatoes. Cornbread . Fried catfish. Smothered chicken. Pickled pig's feet. Fried cabbage. Neckbones. Tongue. Chittlin's. Tripe. Breaded fried pork chops with a mess of greens. Black-eyed peas...and, grits. There are some other foods that I haven't listed.

Answer 10

do not let it bother u. because other wise u let the morons win.there are just as many racists with yellow pink poke a dot skin as there are all black white cream, what ever colour u can think of.its not the colour that bothers the white race as the way they perceive them selves. which must be just crawling out from under that flat rock in ur back yard.

Answer 11

I'm surprised that a person from America would want to go and live in England. Americans are so prejudiced against the English it isn't funny. (Even Oprah, who claims she wants racism to end, insults them!) And yes, blacks are treated better in England than in America.
