This is just a simple question, no racism intended at all.....?

Question

Is the world getting racist against whites?
Example 1:Whenever a black college springs up, everyone's all happy and everything, but if there's an all-white college, Jesse Jackson and the entire world is on ur @$$.

Example 2:If a black person calls a white person a cracker or w/e, then nothing happens, but when a white person calls a black person a monkey or w/e then they get arrested or something.

I mean, c'mon people i thought that we got over that whole thing in the 1940's. Black people still act like they're all still underprivledged u no and everyone makes a big deal about "black rights". there aren't any "white rights". who gives a crap about black or white rights? shouldn't it be human rights? seriously. i know that there is going to be a lot of answers accusing me of being a racist ***** or watever but guess what? i'm not! i'm very open minded, and am very anti racism. it's a serious question and i really do want serious answers.

Answer 1

I personally agree with you completely. I especially find it ridiculous how black people can call themselves "n!ggas" and crap like that but once a white guy does it they'd jump him. I believe that we are all equal and should treat our freedom as well as everyone else with respect.

Really sexy picture by the way. I love Johnny Depp in that movie. :D lol

Answer 2

1) First of all, black colleges don't "spring up". They are called HBCUs for a reason--Historically Black Colleges and Universities. They were created b/c blacks were not allowed the opportunity to attend college like whites. Unlike white universities, HBCUs didn't ban white kids from attending. It was just to give blacks the opportunity to educate themselves.

2) A black person calling a white person a cracker is of poor taste, the same a white person calling a black person a monkey is. However, in our society, a lot of whites still deal with guilt over slavery and segregation and are afraid to call black people out on their own racism.

Btw, segregation ended in the 1960s. It was still years before blacks were afforded equal rights. In the 1990s, there were KKK members throwing bricks through a black family's window. Racism hasn't gone anywhere. I agree that blacks being racist against whites is equally wrong. However, most whites are too intimidated and afraid of being called a racist to confront anybody.

Answer 3

I agree with you to a certain extent. I don't think anyone should receive preferential treatment due to their race. However, slavery and the fight for equality is too recent in our country's history to expect otherwise. Also, blacks receive stiffer jail sentences than whites when it comes to crime, especially in the south. Blacks can also be mistreated (or even killed) by the police and nothing happens. This tells me that racism still exists. Until there is equal treatment across the board I think there will always be a racism issue. By the way, I haven't seen any new all black colleges, and you'd be eligible to get scholarships and loans as a minority in those institutions. They historically exist due to lack of opportunity for blacks to be educated in white institutions. Racial slurs to me are not acceptable no matter who you are. Of course blacks didn't 'get over it' back in the 40's when we still were forced to ride on the back of the bus and segregation still existed until the 60's. I agree with you that it is 'human rights' but unfortunately our country was founded on the rights of whites and the rights of blacks came MUCH later. I'm not a racist, I look at people for who they are, but our history is what it is. I don't think the world is getting racist against whites, as they still receive preferential treatment. I think black rights are more about ensuring equality.

Answer 4

I am glad someone had the courage to bring this sensitive topic up. It is a double standard that needs to be addressed. In today's society it is often cried out that equal rights are needed, but the people saying that often don't really mean equal rights, they mean equal rights plus. By this I mean they want more than what everyone else is getting they want it better. Such as in the world of college, a person of color gets extra points added to their application score, whereas a white person gets nothing. There are laws in place that say for 5 white people hired you must hire four black people, this law is the 4/5ths law, this is in companys that hire more than 15 people.
If you look at scholarships, there are plenty for people fo color but almost none that are for white people.
I don't beleive in black rights, or white rights, or even women's rights, I just beleive in total equality across the board. We are all human and we deserve to be treated as such. Though we may look different on the outside, we are all 99% like each other, it is only about 1% of our genes that make up our physical appearance. So I mean come on, lighten up and get over yourselves, people are people. And as for genes, if you really want to know you are 97% like a banana, thats right.

Answer 5

I know what you mean, I'm in the south and if you say knigger you have committed a mortal sin but if a black person happens to say that it's ok. I don't get it, the black people in the south think I owe them something and I don't. I have alot of black friends and they are the best friends I have ever had. Most of my black friends do not like the month of Feb. because there cousins want to march through the dtreets and talk about MLK and he was for everyone. The answer I have is the color of your skin does not make you stupied or smart its the brain inside your head that does.

Answer 6

i have to say that i agree with you on this, to an extent... the 1940s were a long time ago and you would think that people would be able to be more accepting to different races and not have to have a segregated college/church/etc just to feel they have rights in this country, everyone is treated the same... all races get arrested, commit crimes, are stars... it is not a segregated world anymore and people need to get over it and get on with life... life is too short to worry about things you already have...

another thing to think about, a lot of people that were raised in the 1940s are still around, and they pass their "knowledge" down the best they can to their children who, in turn, do the same for their children... i think in a few 10-20 years, it will get better and everyone can live in harmony and not have to look at someones skin color... you know, we are all the same color when we turn out the lights...

Answer 7

The problem is, different racial groups are still not equal in more ways than they are equal, and some racial groups feel they are entitled to special treatment.

We can't just declare everything equal and assume we will all be happy. True integration will probably take few hundred years and by then we would have invented a new way to discriminate people for some other reasons.

At this stage of the game, black people are as racially discriminative as white people are, and it applies to all other races as well.

As far as I'm concerned, Jessie Jackson may have served a purpose years ago, but today, he is one of the most racially motivated people. For him, everything is about race. I believe he is hurting his cause, not helping.

Answer 8

What are you, 10 years old or something? I question your age because you seem not to understand that which you ask.

Example 1: BEFORE there were black colleges, nearly ALL colleges were white and were LEGALLY able to deny admission to blacks solely based on skin color. Black colleges were created so that blacks could get an education also. Jim Crow Laws just ended a few decades ago. Black colleges were not created to deny whites anything; most whites are free to go to a black college. Black colleges were created to advance blacks because whites already had plenty of institutions in which they could attend.

Example 2: That is simply ridiculous and you know it!

No, we didn’t just “get over it” in the 1060’s when Jim Crow was abolished. Racism towards blacks still continues and yes, IT IS STUPID! You can’t expect centuries and generations of dehumanization and degradation to just simply vanish just because a law was abolished. Individual beliefs persisted. In the civil war, there was a whole region of the United States (the South) that sacrificed their lives for the right to keep black slaves. Of course, they lost but I’m sure their views of blacks did not change that easily. It took hundreds of years to create this problem; it will take hundreds of years to solve it.

Answer 9

well blacks are still a minority so to have a black college wouldn't be the same exactly as having a white one see...but there is some truth in what you are saying....the problem is the Liberal Media..the propoganda hollywood..and the fact that blacks have real poor leadership..ex..Sharpton Jackson Farrakhan..like in a lot of things the deserved ones don't get into office or position..there are many itelligent and capable blacks...but it's like a brainwashing of a generation.....black rights? We all have the same rights....

Answer 10

Lol, this is funny, but I almost feel embarassed to say I agree with you! The main difference is that black people have had to fight for their rights and privilages, where as white people have never had to fight for them. I have never heard of a white man being chained to the back of a pickup truck and being dragged to death by a group of black men.

HOWEVER, a double-standard does exist. And it ISN'T just a black/white thing. More and more, it is a hispanic/white thing. And the weird thing is, almost every black and hispanic American has a white person in their family tree! And vice versa!



the world is crazy...
