I've gotten messages from these white people, and they said that no one wants black people in America or anywhere else. Do people secretly think this? Or were those isolated incidents? I think some of these people who swear up and down that they aren't racist are the first ones to be the worst racist in private. I feel that they are just wimpy.

TB: How is this question racist? I'm asking a question, and by the way, this really did happen. Now what's your answer?

We dont want the blacks that are criminals, violent, involved in drugs and dangerous in America. And yet thats not racist, because we also do not want whites, asians, hispanics, anyone else that are degenerates. Some people just have a hard time seeing that there are bad blacks and there are good blacks. Just like there are trailor trash whites and there are good whites. Its all socio-economic, not racial.

A lot of people are secretly racist. They know it's not politically correct to show racism in public but that doesn't stop them thinking it.
The problem is one of stereotyping... grouping millions of people together under one label just because of their colour.
Not all white people are racist
Not all black people are lazy, ignorant or walk around waiting to be offended so they can accuse someone of racism
I have met white and black people who fit into those stereotypes and others who do not.
The problem is that once an image has been planted in someone's mind then everything they see serves to reinforce that image. In my view the worst thing that the black community can do is protest too much about racism and prejudice - it just reinforces the stereotype of people complaining that the World somehow owes them a living.
As an interesting question - I wonder whether racism against black people has declined since now so many people seem to be fixated on Muslims instead?

No the question isnt racist. Yet you assumed that most of the ppl that left you messages were white. Honey its not just whites tat can claim racism...it has reversed itself. Now some Hispanics dont like blacks, some blacks dont like whites, and some whites dont like hispanics. Its a spinning bubble that we live in. Yes ppl are secretly racist. I admit that I used to get a little predjudice with Hispanics because they didnt want to leave the country....i admit that was stupid but we all feel it at times. To say that nobody wants blacks in America is stupid too. Blacks are who shaped this country into the prosperous place that it is now. Without blacks, Mexicans, Asians, hell evenb the European indentured servants that were sent here(yes whites enslaved their own ppl) America would be a desolate land. The American Indians would still have their homes and wouldnt have to be forced onto reservations. Face truth!

My honest opinion is this:
I have no problem whatsoever with black people. I have some black neighbors, black work colleagues, and a couple black friends. They are great people and skin color is not an issue.
But most inner cities have black people who are nothing but trouble. I live near Detroit, and when i watch the news, all you see is brother killing brother (no pun intended of course). There are rapes, and shootings, and robberys, and car jackings; and drug busts-- every single day and it never seems to cease. It's these black people; who commit all these crimes that bring the racial stereotype out. And that's too damn bad because there are great black people in this country. And all it takes is the low-life ones to ruin it.
So when white people say that stuff to you, it is because NOT of you, but because of the stereotype. And i don't think there will ever be a point where all races can live in harmony with no segregation. It's sad but i believe it's true. There is always SOMEONE who will ruin it.

More like isolated Idiots and unfortunately not so isolated. my dear.
I am a white guy raised by predudicial parents and while unfortunately some of that rubbed off. I do my best to control that. And give people the benefit of being judged on who as opposed to what they are. Honestly I think that we all have a little bit of racist in us, just that some of us make a conscious decision to try and rise above it while others just go through life ignorant.
As per the idiots that have sent you these messages they are what they are.

Because some white people are openly racist. I am white and from the south. I was raised around racist people. Lucky for me, I was blessed with a good brain and I rose above that.
There are white people that are not racist, me being one of them. I do believe that we would be lacking in society without black people. Black people were the first to stand up for civil rights. Also, their culture is very influential on our histoy. I love diversity and whoever told you that has issues.

People that say that are ignorant bigots and are not even worthy to talk to you. Any one that judges a person by the color of their skin should be sent to an island to live with nothing but their own narrow minded kind. You are right about people saying they are not racist but in reality they are. I will never understand prejudice. My friends have white skin as well as black skin. Some have brown and red skin. I could care less what color their skin is. I only care what is in their hearts.

You are not racist for asking this
Calling some white people out there...Hello, there are a lot of whites that don't like blacks or ethnic people for that matter that's cause they are jealous and feel intimidated! I am married to a georgeous white man who is 6.4 blue eyes and i am ethnic and beautiful and when i go out with him and my children who are beautiful too...i get a lot of dirty and mean looks from the white women especially! but the white men admire me and check me out!
I think secretly some white people are dark skin haters!

Some people might say that - but they're the minority.
There always have been, and always will be, people with low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy, who feel the only way to be of worth is if they're putting down somebody else.
It shouldn't surprise you that SOME white people think that way - I mean the KKK and the Neo_Nazis are alive and well in the U.S. But they are a very small number of wackjobs living on the fringe of society.

If they don;t want black people around all the blacks should leave! Let's see what gets done.
America was founded on the backs of other races that white enslaved. So, if all the black people leave and the whites want all the Mexicans gone who will do the work surely not the white people they have prov en in the past that they will not work to build a nation!
I think all white people want blacks out their presence until it is time to work!
