It's not just black people. People are just racist to everyone. Black people are racist too. Everyone in this world is racist at some piont in time. That's life. Get over it. It's never going to stop.

You have to understand that not all are racists. A certain number of people doesn't necessarly represent the whole group you know.

And for the blacks that don't like whites, it has alot do with the historic past, especially in America. Alot of white christians back then took some Africans from their home country to America and forced them into slavery and converted them as well. Especially in the southern states back then. And also since on average alot of white people (usually some of the old males) are a lot more wealthier then the average african population, most seem to ignore the ones in the ghetto and don't even try to help them out. You all remember Kanye Wests Hurricane Katrina speech about George Bush not caring about Black people a couple months before. Most likely its partly true.

I know that alot of whites may never understand what blacks go through everyday. Alot of innocent blacks are constantly predijuced everday of stealing or assaulting people, as well as other minority races as well. But I have to admit that some blacks are ignorant and because of that it leads to them to actually hold true to the sterotype of their race.

And you could ask the same question in reverse. Discrimination is still very present on both sides, but I think it is something a lot of white people never *really* see, or they think it doesn’t happen anymore. But I think black people get it every day. I see a different world when observing other people when I'm out with a black friend, I've also seen it with my Hispanic friends, and after a while people just get fed up. I think for those who are racist, you see enough of something and it's hard not to stereotype.

Have you ever spoken to a black person about it? I have a lot of black friends and have talked about it. Some feel that is warranted due to subconsious racist behavior they receive.
Also some have told me that is the way they were raised. Like how some people are raised to look both ways before crossing, some black people are raised to dislike whites. Also some people make it a point to turn things around on you if are disliked.
Or you could just be paranoid, and no one is being racist.

blacks racist to whites? u crazy man! there are racists in every races. racism starts from where you are raised. I am Black, but I don't make any racist comment on people. you talkin about black being racists, right? well, let's talk about whites, huh? there are more racists in the white race than it would ever be in other races. it's the only race that oppressed all the other races in the world! so, still talkin about fightin back, huh? if we had to talk about fighting back, it would be the other races (Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Maoris, Aborigenes...). but you see, it's history. We have to move on... it's people like you who make it go backward!

P.S.:
when talkni about blacks disliking whites because of slavery, I would say it's a lil wrong. the huge part of that occured in the period starting in 1930's. when they started reacting to oppression they were subject to. and how after the Brown Vs Board of Education case, whites (the majority in the South) declared they would "fight back" for the right to discriminate blacks. Is it what your fighting back comes from?

I am Black / African (mostly) and I know that many of us are racist. You have to be careful not to speak in absolutes though because we are not (all) racist. Sometimes uneducated people, or just people who hold a grudge, carry with them the hurt that their forefathers went through. Because those responsible for that hurt are no longer alive, the next in line is the people that resemble those who put out oppression. In a nutshell, slavery and racism still runs deep with many Blacks who are not forgiving or trusting of people who resemble the slave masters. That's my take.

Let me think about that for a minute. Thier ancestors were un-willingly brought to our land to be slaves. They were then freed, but then still discriminated against, and treated as second class citizens. Now they are experience a form of government control through government programs and society telling them that they need the government to help them, because they can't help themselves. Nope. I don't see any reason why a Black person would find hate in his heart for a white man. Bless those Black people that get along with white people.

In all fairness, Blacks have not accumulated the capital, or respect to be labeled Racist. We "React" there is a difference, because we actually have a reason to hate the White race. They beat our ancestors down, and formed KKK, yet they are racist against us???? Retarded to the max.

Because they hate White people. They secretly want to eliminate Whtie people. They blame all their shortcomings on something 150 years ago (slavery) to guilt trip Whites. Slavery was something everyone did at some point. Especially Blacks. Infact, in their homeland that they talk so highly of, it's still practiced to this day by their "African bruthas".

i don't think blacks are raciest towards the white, (exceptions may be there), its usually the other way round. whites kind of fear blacks, and the history is not very positive either. whites have in the past degraded blacks, and that attitude still lurks in the unconscious of the people (blacks + whites).
