why are so many people racist in america?

Question

like when hurricane katrina hit and the presidents wife siad that they have lived like that for a while so they are ok and the way people in our country have hardly done anything to help

Answer 1

Isn't it racist to say that it's just Americans who are racist?

Answer 2

Racism is woven into the fabric of America. it may never go away completely. Although it is not as direct as it once was. The color line has been established since before med evil times. It began when the Muslims were enslaving white people in eastern Europe (the Slavic people). It where the word slave comes from. This practice taught fear and mistrust of dark skinned people. Please note that this racism is not limited to America. It exists in almost every country were the people come in different shades. It is always the lighter skinned people in power and the dark skinned people are the oppressed. There is also racism within the black race, whereas a light skinned black is view more favorably than a dark skin black.

What I say next may anger some people, but oh well!
Many black people in America are perpetrators of their own victimization. What I mean is some people go out and prove that what other people think about black people is true. Untrustworthy, dishonest, and devious to name a few.

Answer 3

Done hardly anything? There have been 10s of thousands of volenteers going down there. Mostly white of course. Billions of $ sent. Arkansas took in 10s of thousands and the tv was full of stories of how grateful they were. Now they don't want to go back. Of course New Orleans now has 50,000 Mexicans who snuck into this country and somehow found a place to stay and found jobs there.
As far as why blacks are so racist, its part of their blame culture where they blame whites for everything.

Answer 4

There are sometimes reasons for these beliefes, otherwise why would they have come about? Obviously some/most are unfounded, but there are times when the stereotypes come out. The only times I have ever been assaulted/robbed was by black men. What does that lead me to believe? Is it racist to learn from experience??

Answer 5

from their forefathers they inherited the so called racial discrimination. its really sad to hear such. /america are invaded by different nationality, and we cant blame them, because theyre looking for greener pastures, and america has all the big opportunities for brighter futures. peoples from different countries likes to stay and work in america, but not to stay when theyre old. as the saying goes, america is a big apple, tempting, and beautiful to work with.

Answer 6

Why don't you go live in Houston and see what the black refugees/criminals have done to that city.

The only cities that should have taken in the mostly black refugees should have been mostly black cities. That way they couldn't ruin them as they're already hellholes (IE: Detroit, East St. Louis, etc.)

Answer 7

i know! i cant believe she said that, she said most of these people are living better now than they ever were before. People are just ignorant and misinformed and its very unfortunate, hopefully people like you and me can slowly change the world by teaching or kids and people we know the right thing.

Answer 8

It's just easier that way. People prefer not to think and go to elaborate means to achieve that end.

Answer 9

Because some Americans are too arrogant and think highly of themselves.

Answer 10

society makes people that way.You don't see all white colleges or all white scholarship's or get paid to go to college like American Indians do. If you are white its like we owe people something?
