Why is it that alot of black people on here make it out to seem that they are so oppressed (like they can't get into schools whites can [ahem...affirmitive action], dont own anything, been oppressed and the like). Why is it they make it out to seem like all white people have been given everything? Lastly, why do i every now and then hear that i should be ashamed of my grandparents? A three part question to see what they have to say for themselves...

When I say lets see what 'THEY' have to say for themselves, I meant the one's on here that are saying the things that have proven somewhat ignorant, at least in my opinion, and I didn't mean all blacks, like I believe some who have answered on here have taken it to mean. Also, if you going to call me or my question racist, please go further and at least explain it, because I see nothing racist about it. I didn't ridicule or steryotype an entire race, just a small group of people on some stupid online question thing that have said things that make me wonder if they're not racist...so yeah, if you think I'm racist, go ahead and at least give a reason or two...

I don't believe I am oppressed. People can be as racist as they want, It's their lost not allowing a person like me to enlighten their existence. What do I care if some one is ignorant. White people can be the N word, too.
But Because racism is still alive and well in America...mostly because some people don't understand that so much of human behavior is subconscious, we must point it out in all it's futile hiding places. We must shine the light of day on prejudice in all of it's darkened corners. No man or woman is free, until the least of us are .Some people who are racist, don't even know they are.
When I'm at a supermarket in line and the person in front of me...white...gets an "hello, how are you today?" Then I'll get to the cashier and I don't get anything. I don't get nothing. You begin to realize that people do see race and they do treat people differently according to their own preconceived ideas and experiences.
There has been studies regarding this.There actually is such a thing as racism. Not to believe this makes you racist by proxy. So where do you stand?

This is a ridiculous question, that deserves a stupid answer but I'm going to be optimistic about this one, You don't know peoples circumstances so you cant assume until you do. Everyone experience is different so why judge someone you don't know. I think if you read your History you will find that Black or other races I don't want to get into that right now haven't had as many opportunity as white people in the past and that's a fact, the world isn't fair I know we have to deal with it. But the sarcasm in your question I might be wrong on this one suggests that why are black people complaining because we are all equal. And as a matter of fact we are not all equal, as sad as it may be the lighter you are the more chances you have I don't want to debate about the whole racial, slavery issue, but its true that white people have a better chance in life then a person from another race. By all means I'm not saying that the case in all circumstances but it is the sad truth, so before you come in here with your patronising questions I suggest you catch up on your History then you won't have to ask stupid questions like these, Have a nice day Sir!!

I got a question for you? Why are you so racist?
The more I think about this question the angrier I get. First of all, this question doesn't even warrant an answer
Secondly, have you ever been black? No, I don't think so, so don't assume that every black person feels that way. That is just your ignorance shining through
And last but not least, your an IDIOT!
A Follow Up- You said to give you a couple of reasons why everyone thinks your racists, well.......
The fact that you pointed out this question like apparently you feel this is what "most" black people do is 1 reason, why did you have to point out that of all things, why didn't you point out something that white people do?
And the way you have worded this question is sounds like you agree with everything that you have said whole heartily.
And what did you expect from people when you ask a question like this? You set yourself up to be called racist.

I really haven't noticed that at all.
The only people that I don't like on Answers are the racist and homophobic ones. They display true ignorance.

I disagree with you. Some blacks say that just like some white people are racist. Stop stereotyping, you're contradicting yourself in this question. You are making it a black and white thing, yourself.
