why do *SOME* white people look down on black people?

Question

if you don't, i personally thank you. but if you do, or know someone who does let me know why and JUSTIFY that reason.

Answer 1

Actualy I'm not that kind, but recently after reading " the history of civilization " I found something intresting. there are a large group of people who learn something frome the socity and the history and they just don't try to think about it, they accept like it's something obvious and undeniable. If you ask them why do behave like this they talk about their bad feeling about , but if you ask them why they have this feeling they'll give only some excuses. they have never thought about it, they've accept it.

Answer 2

Probably many of the same reasons, *SOME* black people look down at white people....as other races they are not comfortable with.

It makes it difficult for everyone. Some hatred/ideas have and still are are being passed down thru the generations without really even knowing first hand what a race is really like. Sometimes I see minor improvements and sometimes it seems we go backward again...

I think there are good and negatives things done by human beings...white people, by black people, orange, polka dotted, etc. ........We are human and imperfect, don't know each other very well and sometimes the unknown makes us fear. Sometimes we have been only exposed to the frightening things we have seen or heard.

If we all grew up in families with a variety of colors, we probably wouldn't think much about it....
However.... pretty or ugly, or loving, bossy, mean, kind, shy, loud, fat, skinny, short, tall, handsome, homely, smart, stupid, talented, gifted etc. comparisons would continue.

Have a good day. One day it'll be different. God created us all.

Answer 3

I do my best to not look down on anyone, mostly I look in people's eyes and I either like or dislike what I see. There is always going to someone better or worse than me, and it is not my job to judge them, especially because of race.
Personally, I am white, but don't respect the attitude from since way back in history that most whites think for some reason that they are superior to all others. I don't get it, to me people are just people.

Answer 4

Nope, i don't look down on them, but sometimes I don't understand why they wear their pants at their knees and talk in words i can't even comprehend. I know that white people do it just as much, and i'll never figure it out. However I don't feel anyone should be looked down upon just cause of the color of their skin. I work at a hospital in a rough area, so i see a lot from every race. and i appreciate how you put *SOME*, cause god knows there would have been an uproar if you made it sound like ALL white folks.

Answer 5

The primary reason for racism is ignorance, couple that with xenophobia (fear of others who are different) and add a dose of insecurity along with resentment for what ever reason and you have a closed minded bigot. There is no rational reason for one person to feel superior to another based on race. Years ago I lived in Harlem, NY for a period of time (I am "white" by the way) and during that time I made many friends by displaying respect for everyone I met and an interest in learning things that I previously knew nothing about. The greatest compliment I received during that time was when my friend said to me, "Your white on the outside but your black on the inside." Treating all of your fellow travellers in life equally is the hallmark of being a human being.

Answer 6

You will always have people who "look down" on other people for any reason you can think of not just race.

Human beings have an innate need to categorize their world as a way of making sense of it, or understanding it. When someone doesn't understand something they can't categorize it. What we don't understand we tend to fear. What causes us to feel fear we tend to hate. Some people, as a way of dealing with that hate try to minimize it or make it smaller. They do that by thinking in their minds that they are better than whatever it is they hate.

So putting down others is actually a fear of them.

Answer 7

There is NO justifiable reason to look down on someone based on the color of their skin. For the ones that do so they are racist, ignorant and fear a culture based on propaganda and sh*t that went down when most of us weren't even alive.

Answer 8

because white people still think their superior when their not and when black people get more successful they make up new laws to make sure they don't rise up and take over power and to me honestly white people didn't build anything but hate and controversy minorities are what help build any country and white people can't accept the fact that it's not them

Answer 9

Because a lot of black people think white people owe them for what happened in the past. People resent that. I for one don't owe anybody anything. I can't control the number of slaves my ancestors had.
