Answer 1

You need to move away from there, girl. When I was in Birmingham a few years back, I had to pick a hotel for us to stay at. I picked the one next door to a McDonald's since it would meke getting something to eat easier. When I went to get something to eat at the McDonald's, I noticed a little black boy at the front of the line. The cashier skipped over him and took the next person in line's order. She did this over and over again until I got to the head of the line. She tried that again and I wouldn't let her ignore the little boy anymore. I made her take his order. I can't imagine how it would feel growing up that way and having people mistreat you all the time. I'm sure it would leave you frustrated, angry and hostile toward whatever group was doing it. It's not just a regional thing, but it's worse in certain states. You need to leave there and go to a place that is more friendly toward your race. Those hucksters won't change for another coulpe of generations.

Answer 2

Don't let the KKK lead you to believe all white people are evil. There are just extremists. A lot of people I know are like that with what's going on in Iraq right now. Any Middle Eastern person is a "towel head". It really is disturbing. We will always have one group of people trying to ruin it for their country. Just try to remember there are good people out there from anywhere. It just seems to be getting harder and harder to find them. I can understand why you would feel that way, though, and it must be pretty hard. I can't say "I know how you feel", because I'm white and live in NY. As far as I know, the KKK doesn't lurk around here too bad. If it's really bad I'd just move, but that's not easy because you probably love it there otherwise. I'm white and I love you!!!!! Next time you think about the KKK think of me!!

Answer 3

I consider myself to be an honest white person. We're out there. It isn't easy for people from different races to get along well. You'll never truly be able to relate to a white person and white people won't be able to fully relate with you. Your race affects your whole life. You are treated differently, your background is different, you have a completely different culture. All you can really do is be who you are and try to accept other people.

I have a hard time being close to black people. In my school there is almost no communication between blacks and whites. There isn't really any hatred or violence between the races, but hardly anyone hangs out with members of a different race. I used to live in Chicago and had lots of black friends but things in Connecticut aren't the same. Hopefully when I'm in college there will be less of a divide.

Just know that not all white people are the same. Everyone is unique in some way, and even if you aren't close to white people, it doesn't mean they don't like you. I think that as time goes on, racism will begin to diminish. Kids seem to be a lot more open than adults, and now black people are beginning to have the same opportunities as whites. Society still isn't fair, but it's getting there.

What does it have to do with the color of the skin? You can't judge a book by it's cover.
I have lived in the north, the south, the east, and now in the west. I once lived in a town with practicing kkk. I hate what they stand for and once told a clansmen to his face. You see, I am a white blonde female and he thought I would be on his side. Boy, was he wrong.
Trusting someone has nothing to do with color. If you stop and think about it, aren't you starting to think the same way as the kkk, but in reverse? All white people are not the same, just as all black, yellow, or blue people are not the same.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a man that you need to do some research on. He was you ALL colors. Look up his " I had a dream" speech and really think about it.
Trust is a whole different subject. There are few people I do trust, but it has nothing to do with skin color.

Answer 5

No one is all the same!! Move up north, go to a mixed church if you are a Christian, visit a new place or go to college out of state, not in the deep south. I've always lived around white people and I've met tons of great caring individuals who would help you, befriend you, not judge you for anything. I am actually surpised at the question since I know such great people. You say you lived in Georgia your entire life? I don't think South Georgia is a good basis to judge people. You've still got alot of living to do. I suggest moving North and experiencing new surroundings. In a liberal or moderate place (and even in some conservative places) you will find people to like...and it wont be hard. You will find that your previous judgements are all wrong.

Answer 7

I am a white female, 27 years old. I grew up in an all-white town but my parents did not raise me to be racist. They raised me to look at people for who they are and not what color of skin they have. You might be getting older, but your mentality is still not where it should be. All white people are not the same, just as black people are not. You are obviously close-minded and have not had enough positive experiences to open your eyes. Hopefully it will happen, but if it doesn't don't pawn your attitude off on your kids. That's what keeps racism alive. Byt the way, I am with a black man of three years who grew up in Gary, Indiana. He was skeptical of white people also, but I have changed his opinion. Yeah, he knows there are some f-ed up white people that hate him for no reason, but he is choosing to look at the person individually instead of grouping the whole race together as one. You hate when white people do that to you right? They say you are a black female so you must be on welfare and have seven kids and don't know who tha father is. Think about it, when people say that they are just being ignorant because they don't know any better. And you are doing the exact same thing. Open up your mind and change your viewpoint of the world. Things might change for you. God bless you.

Answer 8

you have the two gotten to the element the place something small that used to circulate by left out is now an extreme irritability. It merely seems such as you're doing for your self. He dealt with you incorrect, devoid of fairness, you addressed him approximately it and he shrugged it off. you will have communicated it besides the indisputable fact that it wasn't taken to coronary heart. in case you the two prefer this to paintings out you are able to desire to rather comprehend one yet another. If he places forth the attempt to compliment you, do issues for you, and despite else you like him to try this might actually assist you contained in the relationship, then you definitely can do for him. which incorporate donning clothing he's of a similar opinion with or despite. all of us become complacent. we predict of they won't in any respect go away and could purely substitute while its too previous due. i'm hoping each and every thing seems.

Answer 9

I myself am a trustworthy white person, but I can understand where your coming from. A hint on what to do maybe is when a white person looks at you give a polite smile and say hi, its a good chance youll find a polite white person out there.

Answer 10

well you wouldn't have ask that if you have hate in your heart. you really need to be able to see THE PERSON not the color, but if you lived close to the kkk, i can understand your problem. no we are not all bad. but just like in any race we have our share ! i live in Kentucky and my dad whipped me for my first black friend. SO I MET HER AROUND THE CORNER before school so he wouldn't see me. I'm not a hater and will never be.im really sorry you have had so much trouble
