Okay, before any of you answer, cut the crap. I have had the pleasure of dating and being friends with many different races of people. I have talked to and studied social relations between the ifferent races. My many white boyfriends have admited to me and exposed to me the real feelings many whites have about blacks and it isn't pretty.
Constant comments come from whites I've known about how a 'black' person is attractive, but only when that black person is mixed in some way. Look at hollywood, I'd say that less than 20% of our beautiful 'black' female actresses are acutally all black.
Yes, many whites believe they are superior to blacks. And in many ways they are. That is just the way society is. We are all ethnocentric in many ways.
If blacks werent inferior in some way wouldn't they have more wealth, money, and education in a whole? Do they? No. Our American society views whites as more desirable because they have more of what is considered desirable.

Thanks Chocolate.
Oh yes, behind closed doors many whites are racist. My boyfriend has told me the truth about what goes on behind those doors. He himself is still prejudice in many ways. The truth does hurt, you guys just don't want to admit it because it is considered to be a negative thing.

They pretend coz they don't want to be called racist. Coz that makes you feel bad when people say that. My friend called me racist once and i got so cut. So yeah no one wants to look like a predjudice pic. Yeah that's why. Also some people feel sorry for blacks coz they know that they get treated different. Yup that's the most honest answer your gonna get. By the way all you people saying she is rasist and all that I think yous are correct but that's kinda slack. Its her opinion and she should be able to express it and question it. hmph....

Ok...maybe many whites believe they are superior to blacks. In 1492 people thought the world was flat and they would fall off the edge if they got too close. They were wrong too huh.
The problem is that SOME people thrive on conflict and enjoy insulting other people to make themselves feel better. We all know people like that. We also all know people who feel sorry for themselves no matter how great they have it. The fact is that we are all people no matter what color. Your "many white boyfriends" are not an authority on white culture. They sound more like KKK members. And while we are on the subject...have you ever heard of the United Caucasian college fund? How about White entertainment television? You don't have to be white to be a racist. I know people of all races who are racist...but that doesn't mean I'm going to stereotype the entire race just because of a few idiots.
We need to move past the race issue and concentrate on being AMERICANS and just being people.

But in all that rhetoric, you didn't come out and confirm/deny that you are, in fact, a racist. It's really easy to point a finger at 'society', but what about you? By the way, your personal observations and whatnot could hardly be considered scientific or factual in the very least.
So, what do you really hope to get out of posting your question?....confirmation. You need other people to tell you that it's okay to feel the way you do; it's a crutch. Seems like someone else, who is so obviously NOT black, has a problem with inferiority, too. I'm just saying...

I'm a white guy and I love BLACK women dark or light hell I don't care!! What goes on behind closed doors is very true. The reason being is they don't have the balls to say that $hit in front of Black people or to a Black person one on one. It won't ever change so all I can say is find a way to handle it. Not trying to be mean but we all know it aint gonna change.

Blacks having less of what society considers desirable doesn't in any way mean they are inferior. It simply means they are repressed. I don't think you're a racist, but I will say that it alarms me that you appear to be buying into white supremacist propaganda. No one, no matter how repressive and vicious an environment they live in, should EVER allow themselves to believe that one man (or woman) is inherently better than any other. Doing so will cost you your humanity and undermine the efforts of anyone who has ever fought for equality.

I think your opinion is still quite biased aside from your education.
I have seen pictures and met some extremely beautiful "black" people. And they were not "mixed".
I am also not influenced by mass media or pop culture. I have no problems with anyone of any "race", I find each "race" to be equally interesting.
