Can a black person be racist?

Question

In theory the answer is yes, but in reality?

Thank-you all for your answers

Tammy - Why did you put me as your source

Answer 1

Black people are as bad as any other group. They are so super sensitive to the issue, that they complain about it even when it does not exist or was not intended.

Answer 2

Of course not. Black people have immunity against racism. After all, after 400 years aren't they entitled to it?

If you look at the mainstream media you'd get the impression that whitey is to blame for everything and anytime a black person screams racism they should be given large sums of money (ie. the Tennie Pierce case in the Los Angeles Fire Dept.) Truth is many blacks are more racist than the percieved white devil because they assume that all white people are racist. Now before I'm crucified I know not all black people think this way... but those aren't the ones that get on television!

Answer 3

I think anyone of any race can be racist against other races. My brother adopted a beautiful baby girl three years ago who is black and I was shocked by the people who made snotty comments about it. When I take her out, I've had black people who act like we shouldn't have her. I even heard one black family make the comment that "Each race should raise their own". They were making stupid comments about us being white raising a black baby. I was very shocked there for a while when I realized how racist some black people are towards white people.

Since we got Haylee, I have learned a great deal about people. I have learned that in each race there are rotten, narrow-minded people as well as loving, kind people.

I think the world would be a better place if we all thought like Haylee. She has many dolls, Cabbage Patch dolls, etc. of all different races. She has white babies, black babies, Hispanic babies, and oriental babies. There is one key word there though, they are all babies.

I think the whole world should feel that way towards other people. No matter what color they are, they are still babies.

Answer 4

Not only can they be, but blacks are by and large more racist than any other race. They have been conditioned over at least 2 generations to believe that their skin color entitles them to a free ride through life, and that all other races are "evil".

It's ironic, considering that the only reason the black race still exists is because of the charity and generosity of other races. Blacks were naturally selected a long time ago.

Answer 5

A perfect example of this is how many Black Muslims feel towards Israel and jews in general.

A racist is someone of one race having a hatred or dislike of another person simply because of their race, it's not a member of a majority race disliking a minority rice

Answer 6

Yes. In reality anyone can be a racist.

Answer 7

Hell yeah. Anyone can be a racist. i.e. The "former" professor from N.C. State university that called for the extinction of white people. He obviously does not speak for all African American's and would be considered a racists.

Answer 8

Theory my a$$. I have personally been judged against by my color by some black people. It seems to me that some are more racist than some white people.
Any person, of any race can be racist.

Answer 9

ummm yes, anyone who hates another person because of the color their skin happens to be is racists. Quit a ridiculous practice now a days.

Answer 10

Of Course.. They can even be racist against black people.. I've read about black KKK members I just cant find a proper source

Answer 11

yes they can we just arent as open about it becasue we have to deal with white people everyday. there sitn as many racist blacks as there are whites, my mom was kinda racist but she really aint like that cuz i go wit a white boy and i told her that is being racist and saying ignorant things aint gettin rid of them and she said no, so i said so whats the point of bein it. it dont solve nothin or make u like them any better!!!! racism is gay in my opinion!!! we need to learn to accept each others differences and learn from each other. for racism to really go away we need to experience what each other has been through then we really understand each other!!!!!
