In many occasions i have seen whites mistreating blacks. Treating them as stinking animals. Even if you have enough for living they will look at you as if you are in need.And many more things that i cannot disclose.

This entire question bothers me. What a stereotype. Is this really about black and white? I am white, I do not have a negative attitude towards blacks, or any other race for that matter. I think as long as we see people as their race, we will always have a problem. I have found myself uncomfortable around other races before because I would hear them talking about how whites look down on them, and that hurt me, because I don't think that races are really that different. I think there is a bigger difference in culture in one part of the country compared to another than there is in one race compared to another. That is just my opinion though!

Its because there are enough blacks that live up to that reputation. I live in a non-black area in the inner city, know what percent of the time it is a black begging me for money? 100%.
In fact yesterday I was walking 3/4 mile to a tavern to watch football, got hit up for change once by a female ***** on the way there and walking back got hit up again by a male *****. Starting in with his whole "Sir, excuse me" to which I reply "You're excused". Why are they even in my neighborhood I don't know as I'm pretty sure they don't live there.
There are just too many of them without pride. No pride whatsoever and they think that begging brings them free money with no consequence. They act like stinking animals, therefore that is how I treat them.
And I can generally tell the difference between an animalistic one (one I consider to be on par with the animals) and an educated one within less than 1 minute. The majority in the inner city are the former.

It goes both ways. for no reason the other day I was called a "cracker". And I am far from prejudice. Of course I didn't feed into this behavior because I find it ridiculous. It's 2006 People.
Prejudice exists today because people still feel the need to blame everything on skin color.
The ones who act like that are learning it from somewhere. (parents, peers, etc)
It exists with all races. The movie "CRASH" was a perfect example.
What about the homeless,mentally ill, the hadicapped, the obese, etc. It is everywhere, not just the blacks!
Stop blaming already and move on.

I don't think black people are any lower then the whites. In actuallity it's the whites who are the less human because most (not all), do treat the blacks negativily. So I can see why the question was asked. It's shameful really. Personally I love the black people.

Because unfortunatly black people seem to live up to the reputation of being lower. They have large families of illigitimate children, commit more violent crimes (almost every store robbery , or store clerk murder is done by a black man or in increasing cases now, hispanics. I have met several decent black people but ironically, they lived in communties with white people and socialized for with non blacks. The upper class blacks look down on the lower class blacks too. Example is Jesse Jackson is always taking up for the poor blacks but you notice when he had an illegitimate child a few years back, he didn't have it with a welfare ghetto woman, he chose an educated woman.

I am white and have NEVER as God is my witness EVER mistreated a black. You are stereo typing hate, as you must know that black people are just as capable of a negative attitude towards white people as the other.
I believe we get what we put in. And if you go into any situation with prejudice, you will likely get it back. And you~ my dear~ sound prejudice.
Hate knows ALL colors, get educated. God bless you with the enlightenment of God's love for everyone. He favors us all, all of us who choose to love Him, by showing our love to each other, but above all to Him.

There has always been racism on the part of whites towards blacks and vise /versa and to some degree there always will be. I believe some blacks cause the negativity toward their race.

Ummmmm ok it seems to me that you have the same attitude toward whites. So why do you think they have an attitude toward blacks? Maybe because all the way around people have attitudes.

I don't know. It's not all of us, but the ones that do are @ssholes. I don't see any reason to treat someone badly just because they're a different color. The world would be soo boring if we all looked the same.
