Really??? Maybe because you treat them different than whites. You may be the common denominator because I never noticed that.

Blacks are not ruder than whites. I am black (despite my scruffy white-boy-avatar) and I am not rude, at least I try not to be, but I think that what you are actually dealing with is a number of Black people who have dealt with rudeness and cruelty their entire lives, both from whites and non-whites and they've simply internalized this. The only thing that you can do about it is to continue to maintain your professionalism at work, and if possible show a bit more than the normal amount of kindness. SOMETIMES this makes a difference, it may not be noticable, but trust me, someone somewhere will see a difference. Just remember, don't generalize; Blacks and Whites and Asians, and EVERYONE ELSE are all equally rude, and the only thing that you can really do is just rise above that and be a good example to the people who desperately need good examples in their lives.

I'm seriously not going to give you a straight answer on this question because I don't believe that you will get the answeer you wan't from me.

You are definetly making a very broad generalization by saying that black people are ruder than whites.

I definetly feel that you are the rude one and this is centainly not the place for you to ask these questions.Please discuss them with your other friends that make rude comments about differnet races...I would reccommend the movie Crash.

And Phil I don't think you are educated enough to answer this question without making a donkey out of yourself.By you saying that black peoepl have a lack of education proves that you are a very ignorant person indeed.I do not respect you at all for that comment and if you are going to make comments like that I would advise you to keep them to yourself.

Hope this is sufficient.

I wouldn't say any racial group is ruder than another. I work in retail sales and customer service, and I'm treated rudely by people of all racial backgrounds. I think rude people are rude people. If I wanted to make overgeneralizations based on race, here's my observations:

hispanic children are usually left to run wild, including ripping apart displays and throwing merchandise on the floor

white children have the gimmees, and scream for things, and their parents say no, and the kids continue to scream until they get their own way anyhow

black kids, look at merchandise, but don't usually take it off the racks, or if they do, they put it back where they found it

asian kids are usually standing next to mommy and daddy. i haven't noticed any seriously destructive behavior, but this is also the smallest demographic in my location.

I'm not sure why this is, it's just what I've observed from 5+ years in customer service in a very diverse area of Western Massachusetts.

Its a racist stereotype that blacks are meaner or 'ruder' then whites. This image has been portrayed by rappers, and the 1992 LA Riots, which give people not of that race, the feeling that all people of that race act the same.

Frederick Douglas said it best when he stated that it's the same to sit on the bus next to a belligerent, rude smelly black guy as it is to sit ont he bus next to a belligerent, rude smelly white guy. are blacks ruder? i've met rude people everywhere, every color. I do think that in modern american "culture", blacks can sometimes be a littl e inexperienced....bear with me...my dad still remembers not sharing the same drinking fountain wtih the "coloreds". African Americans have only been allowed inthe same places as whites for the last generation..of course they are bouind to be out of place in some instances....im' not trying to be offensive...i'm pulling from my experience as a waitress.

Maybe you are ruder to blacks than you are to whites. People tend to respond the same way you treat them.

Well I do think she has a point... I am black and I have found my own kind to be very rude more than any other race that I have encountered.

I think that many blacks have been subject to so much criticism in their lives (from parents, peers etc.) that they tend to have an abrasive personality. This doesn't happen much in other cultures I've observed.

That is not the case with me though, I consider myself to be caring, kind and positive person.

All blacks are not ruder than whites. The ones who are rude have not been taught to respect others or themselves. They may have low self esteem. And that's the only way they get attention. So please do stereotype all blacks?

Sounds to me that YOUR the rude one!!! Blacks had to listen to whites bullshit for years!! and we couldn't do **** about it. And not ALL blacks are rude you're just racist and take everything we say/do the wrong way!! THATS YOUR FAULT!!! And if they're rude to you, it's prolly cuz you were rude first!! It doesn't have much to do with color but the person's personality!! GROW UP and learn that just because most white people are racist doesn't mean black people are. We could really give to sh. i.ts about what ANYBODY thinks, let alone sum lil a.s.s white person!!
