So many black people blame their bad days and experiences on racism. They hate white people for stupid reasons like "looking at them strangely". That isn't even true, its all about how you perceive it ; your view of the situation. Most are raised to dislike white people because of slavery. Slavery shouldnt be forgotten, but people should get over it because guess what? Its OVER! It has been over for millions of years?(okay, maybe not that long but you get my point). The result? Black people have more rights than white people.Black people are allowed to make racist comments, and discriminate against whites because they can get away with it. No matter what they do, its always considered a right. White people can do the same thing and they are immediately called a racist. Have you ever seen a TV show that makes fun of black people (and i mean without a lesson of 'everyone is equal' at the end)? No! Because we get sued for even uttering the word 'black'.

Yet you see this EVERY DAY in all-black TV shows. We are constantly being made fun of on TV (think shows like Girlfriends and such), and they make it look like being white or even using proper grammar is the worst thing ever.
Many blacks live in the ghetto, living off government money. While some really have no other choice, many don't do shitt about getting their life on track, or at least some education! You see so many young black children get kicked out of school for not following the rules, getting into fights, possessing weapons, and many other reasons like that (which can be blamed on bad rap/hip-hop stars' influences.They make it look cool to be in the "ghetto scene" and break all the rules). Later, when they are all grown up, they still don't do anything, because they know that no one can make them make something of themselves (or at least try), or kick them out of their home because (of course) they can always point their finger and shout "Racist!" and get what they want

So why do black people always say that whites discriminate against them? Its the other way around! The following might sound harsh but if you think about it its true: Without whites blacks will still be in Africa. And if you don't like this country -created by whites- you can always feel free to leave. We don't owe blacks anything; we gave them their freedom.
It is true that some white people do hate blacks. Well, i ask you, wouldn't white people have a reason to hate them? Blacks are really the ones who are racists.
And PLEASE no stupid, ignorant comments that don't even answer the question. At least read what i wrote.

Chrissy, you proved my point. In what you wrote, was a hint of racism towards whites and saying whites are more racist than blacks. Whites work their butts off too to make a living. It';s not only people of color.

Fine i will answer your question. Let me just point out that it was a racist one and i do not care how much u argue. FYI Kelsey grammar(a WHITE person) produced the show Girlfriends! Unfortunately. So speak what u know!
I am not one of those stereotypical(emphasis on STEREOTYPICAL) ranting black ppl. I will not go on and on about how your ancestors cruelty were horrible to my ancestors by killing them and beating them and starving them and making them feel worthless and discriminating against them and seperating them from their families and not allowing them to learn how to read and shipping them like sardines in ships. But I will tell u that slavery will never be forgotten and black ppl surely won't let it go any time soon. NOONE can even imagine how mistreated those black ppl were. How would YOU feel if u know that your great great great(however many greats there are) were abused at such an extent?? If u r Jewish, think about how your great great great grandparents were treated.
ALL races are racist. But how did all this hatred start? Just answer that question. Would it be nice if black ppl just said "well my generation hasn't done anything to me- it was just their crappy ancestors". But that will never happen and I completely understand y. People(ALL people) have difficulties forgetting things. have u ever had a grudge? I would think so. If u couldn't forget that little thing, how can African Americans forget their history??? If white ppl r not racist then why is the KKK still active? Then y r black ppl spyed on when they go into a store? Why is there not a black president????
There's a difference btwn stereotypes and being racist. Most white/black ppl's problem is that they believe the stereotypes.I am black. But I do not say "yo yo yo homie! I ain't got dat fo sho", smoke crack, steal, nor am i a "ganster". Yes I like hip hop but so do some white ppl. The other stereotype: black ppl are poor. Well I am not thank u very much! Not all black ppl live in the ghetto. For those who do, i feel sorry for them. I do not judge them. There are poor white ppl too you know! U just choose to call them 'trailor trash'.
The infamous question: Y can black ppl say stuff about white ppl? Well I'll answer it. There is no way that white ppl can make up for what they did. Sorry, but a giant "I am sorry" card won't make black ppl happy. So all black ppl do is crack jokes. About 40 years ago, they would have been shot for doing so. Literally. White ppl have done enough so y do u need to make jokes about black ppl?
Sorry for my long speech but I am sick and freakin' tired of seeing these "blacks are..." posts.
P.S. Researchers at the University of Chicago (Marianne Bertrand) and Harvard University (Sendhil Mullainathan) found in a 2003 study that there was widespread discrimination in the workplace against job applicants whose names were merely perceived as "sounding black." These applicants were 50% less likely than candidates perceived as having "white-sounding names" to receive callbacks for interviews, no matter their level of previous experience. And u claim white ppl are not racist?

Every race in itself should be a proud people. All races are loyal to their own. This does not make a race bad. There is nothing wrong with "even the ones u say who collect government money", so what u would rather give it to the countries that do not pay taxes yet reap the benefits, or the illegals who reap the benefits--no taxes....Get a life and grow up!
At least black women can still cook!!!
Oh yeah, I like Jews, Orientals, Mexicans, and others for who they r. This reminds me of a baby picture of my best friends new baby, of whom I could not put on the wall --- a black baby-from a black couple-"that was racist "- but not on my part! It was a husband who claimed to have no racist views!

Well I'm prejudiced because in the small town where I grew up there were just a couple of black families. And they were some of the finest people you could have ever met. While I don't think they were treated particularly well, they maintained a good attitude and conducted themselves with dignity and treated eveyone else with respect and earned the respect of the community. Eventually one of them was even elected Mayor of the town.
While in the Army I was educated to the fact that all black people were not like the people in my home town. Yet, even the bad guys who I did have conflicts with, didn't hold a grudge once they figured out our differences were personal and not based on bias.
I agree we've all gotten just a little bit too sensitive over racial issues. I've witnessed both cases, blacks getting a break just because they are black and black people getting shafted just because they are black. I'll have to say up to now the getting shafted happens more often than getting a break.
I've yet to meet the person I couldn't get along with because they had some chip on their shoulder. Once they understood I judged them based on their actions not their appearance.

I might want greater than this house to explain the entire occasions I had been at the receiving finish of racism. And I would make my case in additional than three features... Since you're speakme approximately judges, what approximately that pass judgement on that would not marry the Black guy and White girl? How used to be Mr. Obama meant to suppose while his OWN GRANDMOTHER had a few reducing matters to mention approximately Black guys? What approximately the entire folks who did not and nonetheless do not aid Obama on the grounds that he's partly Black? Why do you no longer appreciate that different folks vote or aid their possess folks at all times? Why do you consider such a lot of Latinos and Eastern Europeans and Asians use their possess banks or folks in their possess racial or ethnic heritage? Do you no longer know the way many folks request WHITE buddies in retail outlets and corporations? I do. Or how mostly Whites ask how much cash is going to aid different White folks in charities? We who paintings with charities do. Perhaps it might shock you what number of folks aid matters on the grounds that they've a few ethnic, devout, racial, nearby, and so forth. tie to whatever... Black folks have no longer banded in combination to cross legislation that say that OTHER PEOPLE are not able to do whatever or different (just like the segregation legislation and practices). We don't MOVE AWAY from different folks we don't like or suppose awesome to... We have no longer managed the glide of cash to any institution of folks or country. And to handle your final factor approximately crime...so much Black criminals devote crimes towards OTHER BLACK PEOPLE. Rape is approximately energy and might be coveting, to a measure. As snap shots of White ladies are all over because the epitome of womanhood, it might stand to intent that a individual of the crook detail might covet that alternatively than a girl who is meant to be "external the norm". ****And wait....although ALL BLACK PEOPLE grew to be the worst racists on Earth in 12 months 2010 and even for the final forty two years (opening in 1968) that we've got had a modicum of freedom and existence...it might nonetheless no longer be corresponding to the 192 years (I am finishing the rely at 1968 and opening it at 1776) that others have had loose reign over discriminating and legally and bodily hurting Black folks.**** But the reality of the problem is that racism has under no circumstances ended on your folks, folks such as you nonetheless hate Black folks, and also you view off-kilter feedback and want-centered charity via and for Black folks as "racism". It is telling that you simply might cite an difficult to understand pass judgement on's remark and usually a few comedians' feedback however put out of your mind Mel Gibson's feedback and the various bad jabs via White, Conservative commentators.

Is your question "are black people the real racists?" If so, I think you're putting us in a box. I have been told I am racist even though I have white family members and a half white son. I think that there are racists in every race. And, unfortunately, people tend to base their beliefs on their experiences.

I don't hate white people. Whites have more experience with being racist and hide it. They do sneaky things like discriminate and talk about you behind your back. When you are a minority in this country, you have to be careful and you have to be aware. That's just the way it is, so don't turn it around on black people just because some of the black racist are truthful about it and not sneaky, which I think is much worse.

black skin means racist, not and idea just fact. I wasn’t here over 400 years ago but still blacks think I’m still to blame and use race to blame everyone but themselves today!! Fact is everyone knows that. Get over it, get a job, pull your pants up and act with some dignity.
