I'm not racist but ......?

Question

It really annoy's me that white english people cannot go to certain places because they will be attacked, do you think there are more racist black and asian people than white?

Answer 1

you've nailed it....it's a federal crime if a white person even suggests something that is a shadow of a penumbra of a hint of being racist. But no so for minority groups...they can be as racist as they wanna be in the name of group pride.

Just consider this....is there a 'White History Month', a 'Miss White America Pageant', 'White Entertainment Television', a 'White Pride Parade' (that isn't a neo-nazi hatefest)?

Reverse racism is just as insidious and invidious. It's just allowed to be more open and acceptable.

Answer 2

This is a case of perception. My experience is the average white person, as demonstrated through history, in the main want to and do live in fear of diversity. Take an example of how the Blairs and the Bushes have cowered the people with their claims of terrorists around every corner.

I have friends of every denomination, and whilst all my friends of other races would gladly go to a predominantly black affair, there is a reticence amongst my white friends to mix with anyone different. Not all, but a significant majority.

Take your country for instance, whenever I am over there, I feel comfortable to attend events in any forum from the Savoy to a predominantly white public house. I note however when I go to a public house in a predominantly black area you find maybe one white representative, who will be quietly supping his drink without fear or recourse to fear and mixing well with the crowds.

Maybe if you got off your racist cowardly behind and overcome your fear for once, you will find that your fears are just that, Fears.

Answer 3

You need to stop adding the disclaimer.
That is a worn out word and a tactic to keep you in place and make you walk away from your opinion. No one labels someone a racist unless they 1) say something (usually true), 2) Are white, and 3)Can be made to run for the hills at the mere mention of a word.
Why would anyone WANT to go anywhere where they'd be attacked. I'm sure we can find more hospitable activities and places to be.
Remember, you aren't the one who maeks the unwritten rules on who gets to label people. You will be labeled reguardless, so if the shoe fits, wear it.

Answer 4

Just to clear this up: Everyone can be prejudice, not everyone can be consider racist. You see, prejudice is a bias or a partiality that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation while racism is is a form of discrimination based on race, especially the belief that one race is superior to another, which got it's start from people denying other people employment because their gender or skin color.

So to answer your question I believe that their are a lot of people with prejudices because of things that have occurred in society. I don't think you can say that one group of people based on their skin color are more prejudice than another group.

Answer 5

I think your whole premise is wrong. Starting with the fact you are racist because you 'think' there are places you can't go without being attacked. There are racists of every race, that either think everyone else is wrong, or that their race is superior.

While there are neighborhoods that seem to be magnets for illegal activity such as prostitution and drug sales, that you wouldn't want to go to, you won't 'be attacked' by going there necessarily. And it isn't because of any race in the neighborhood, but rather the criminal element there.

Answer 6

I think we live in 'interesting times', when the world's population has ballooned to 6.6 billion from 1.5 billion in 1900. That's 112 years for the world's population to multiply 5 of 6 times, definitely 'too much too fast', I think if you see ethnic hostilities, it's a symptom of that massively rapid growth, rather than the problem itself. Several thousand years ago, when there were maybe only 10 or 20 million people running around the world over, yeah people had wars and stuff, but you could still get on your horse and ride, and vanish over the horizon and maybe not see another soul for a year.

Well, our genius politicians I guess have decided that it's time to 'infill' the United States, and our way of life is going to become more crowded, as their 'genius' continues to manifest itself. What'll be 'fun' is when cities like Las Vegas start running shy of water in the summertime. I think some of these housing developers seriously need to be drug-tested, 'cause they're smokin' dope or worse if they think all this is sustainable, long-term. In our lifetimes, we're going to watch the population of our country figuratively explode, hopefully not literally.

We really need border enforcement. It's just plain time to start looking at the whole world in a more sober light, and figure out howinhell we're going to stay in business in the next 50 years.
Times change, people change, demographics change, attitudes, standards of living, all these things are in a state of flux. Adjusting to that is going to take some acceptance, some mental flexibility, the whole tolerance thing, but it'll also take some good, honest, common-sense policymaking instead of pandering to large corporations who've got all SORTS of wonderful 'plans' for our future....I can only speak for myself, but I don't enjoy the idea of eventually having to help pay child support to half the third world countries around the world...which is what'll happen if we don't reconsider what we're doing to our budget, and with our borders.
Also, there's the concept of averages to consider:

Add any 3 numbers, make sure the last one is really low, single digit, or even a negative number. Say 4,000, 2,000, and -136,243, and take the average.

That's one way to conceptualize what's going to happen to our economy if we don't exercise a little prudence, and common sense, here. And, 3rd world countries outnumber 1st world countries, both in population and total number. We've enjoyed our island of moderate personal wealth for some time, and here comes a grand tsunami of global poverty. Baby 6 billion was viewed by some as a significant milestone in 2000. I think baby 9 billion is going to be dragging the end credits to this particular movie behind him...not saying that having kids is bad, but people consume. More people consume more. 9 billion people will have to eat and sleep and defecate somewhere. I think it's decidedly un-christian to advocate vehemently pro-family policies after you realize that the world's population is increasing exponentially. That may have been a great idea back in 789 A.D., but today, I just don't know.

I doubt people really wanna see our world turn into a violent, overpopulated, poverty-stricken, undernourished, disease-ridden nut-farm, but that's approximately where we're headed, at this rate...unless we think a little harder about what we're doing...

Answer 7

ABSOLUTELY YES!! Blacks are the most racist people on this planet. It's perfectly okay for them to hate whites, but we're supposed to respect and like them, or else we'll be called dirty low down racist hillbillies. HA! Not this white girl. I don't bow down and kiss anyone's a$$. And I think all white people need to start standing up and finally put a stop to this BS once and for all! Slavery was long ago......we personally had nothing to do with it, but they think we owe them the world. Well, I say GET OVER IT! It's long overdue...

Answer 8

May be you went to the wrong place. Your question itself gives a sense of hate and racism. You should find out first why certain type of people are being attached at certain places. Hate and racism exist in each colour of skin. Look you self first than blame others.

Answer 9

In my own personal experience African Americans are very racist.
I was attached by one a few years ago in a African American neighbor hood and other blacks seen this happen and wouldn't help me. and when it was time to go to court they pulled the racist card on me and said that if a white chick wasn't in the neighborhood it wouldn't happened to her..we was remodeling a home to sale and he came in on me. The black preacher that lived next door seen it and even told the police what he seen it but when he was order to go to court he said that it was my fault i shouldn't of been in his neighborhood...It was a very nice neighborhood at least i thought i was and my hubby ran to the store i thought i was safe but i wasn't...so don't tell me blacks aren't racist..because i have experienced it first hand..The black man that attached me was a crack head and the neighbors said he wasn't..even though they all told the police he stands at the corner selling it..he got three months in jail..so from my experience its not safe for a white person to go into a black community..i learned that first hand...

Answer 10

I dont think there are MORE black or asian people that are racist, but there are some. I dont know about English people, but white Americans sometimes fear the ghettos. I fear areas where there is alot of crime. It is just natural.

Answer 11

I don't really know if there are more racists within black and Asian groups, but "reverse racism" does indeed exist. Extends from centuries of white racism and the resentment and anger oppressed groups feel just by a white person's presence...it's a deep-seated damn shame!
