I guess that the African Americans feel that They have a right to hate White people, and this is what the Media wants to keep going. It makes for funny movies and head lines. I was raise with-out even knowing what racism was until 2 Mormon girls that lives next door to me, began throwing tomato's at me and my friends, at my birthday party. They kept yelling the "N" word and others I never knew about. 3 of my friends happen to be black, and all I saw was that these were my friends, now there color. It was a sad day

I'm sorry to say that any hate crime do happen. No one should be proud for committing atrocities upon another human being. All humans are capable of the most horrible of deeds if they meet their breaking point.
The world needs love more than ever now. It is coming apart at the seams. Violence begetting more violence is not the answer. Understanding, education, love, caring, forgiveness, tolerance are what we all need. When intolerance rules, love is lost and hate takes hold. We don't need any more footholds for hate. We all need a hand up from time to time, not a push of a foot to hold or keep us down.

You've got to understand that in this question here, your inferring to the middleclass and white collar american citizens.
Generally, the angry mobs of black people you speak of are most likely going to be in the poor class. This goes for most poorer class people, not just blacks. They tend to think differently, thus imposing cultural bounds to different types of living. Higher class citizens have more to lose than lower class citizens, and thus tend to live more conservatively. Lower class citizens think more in a 'i dont give a f**k' mentality, and live more liberally.
The whole point of all this BS I just wrote is to simply say money makes the world go round. You have money, like Kobe or Shaq and you live like a pimp. If your broke like lil tray and trigger happy from around the corner, then you live like a thug. Just giving my 2 cents, hope it helps.

some human beings do it with the aid of fact they suspect interior the belief of unique sin: that the sins of the confirm save directly to the youngster. it is the driving thought at the back of Christian doctrine, so this is a prolific thought in fundamentalist American society in my opinion, i think of this is a gaggle of crap. i'm black, and no one has ever enslaved me. Hell, i do no longer additionally be responsive to if any of my ancestors have been slaves. yet whilst they have been i do no longer probably blame "white human beings" as a collective total. yet to respond to your question, interior the grand scheme of issues, slavery became abolished rather recently. So recently that there are a handful of former slave vendors nonetheless alive in the present day. We have been the final developed us of a interior the international to abolish slavery. it is an fairly embarrassing blemish on American lifestyle and historic previous. it is the darkest element of our historic previous. So with it being so barbaric and so modern-day, it is in basic terms organic for there to be some lingering tension.

I think white people in general are trying for something different. It's this idea that to be in a constant state of hate does not allow you to do anything positive for yourself. I know plenty of people, white and black who live in a state of jealousy and hate, they are miserable and live in trailers. People who take responsibility for their own lives can then do something about them themselves. If you blame someone else then you have to wait for that person to fix it for you, not gonna happen.

All of hate is ignorance! People either don't have a life, or are so miserable with themselves that they have to lower others to make themselves feel better!
I say - People have made terrible terrible choices, times change, people change, society SHOULD change - Instead, the world is stagnant!
Only one word IGNORANCE!

Has being mad ever accomplished anything? Being angry only results in misery and unhappiness. It is much better to use that energy for something possitive.

The truth is that greatest killer of young black men is other young black men and the greatest number of victims of black crime are black people.

Because if white people get angry they will be labeled as racists, whether they really are or not.
