Why is it that I am treated with respect by most everyone, but have the most problems with fellow blacks, specifically black Americans? I am black, but of another nationality, maintain the culture/language, but was raised in America. I am (modestly) quite attractive, cultured, intelligent and I am approached and complimented all the time, but usually from other races. Black Americans tend to scrutinize and are rude. I literally treat everyone the same -- what is the reason for this? It hurts.

I cannot point to a single reason.
But, generally speaking, the distrust under black people is larger than with 'white' people.
This could be a major factor in how they treat people.
I work in an international environment with people of all colors, nationalities (except siberia, we don`t have someone from there.. yet) and with various religions.
People there are generally more respectful of others, maybe working with different nationalities/cultures/religions opens people up towards others.
Also, the fact that some cultures flock together in groups doesn`t really help much.
The fact that someone is or isn`t attractive usually doesn`t play much of a role, at least that i have been able to find out.

Maybe it's your false sense of grandeur...lol. Kidding. Anyway, I don't have many problems with blacks save the few ignorant imbeciles who would probably pick with anyone. I choose to steer clear of those types. Class and upbringing has everything to do with this. It isn't a race thing, it's a morals thing. You've probably just run into people who were not raised the best and who don't respect social conventions.
Just my guess.

Most American blacks have swallowed the lie that they are less than what they should be, and if you have any culture, and an accent, and appreciate yourself, you are a threat to them. they should remember one thing: If a white person needs blood, they have the same blood types that the rest of us have, so they are very important to everyone, and should appreciate themselves, without being uppity.

The society and culture they were brought up in. I basically raised myself so am void of any racism, unlike the people I live around. People generally follow what everyone else does, it's "Society's Will".

lack of information won't be able to be completely thrown into the abyss, like it never existed, or is going on. it exists even it won't be able to be considered. i do no longer understand of any usa that could declare that lack of information and intolerance has been wiped out. it merely isn't so, yet i such as you optimism and theory that it has. the worldwide ought to behave in a fashion the place cohesion and love grow to be the concentration. that prejudice and racism have been erased and the guidance long forgotten. i actually wish it have been actual yet that dream is so a techniques far flung from humanities hold close. all we are able to do is ignore concerning to the dislike some human beings carry of their hearts and save respecting all around us. we'd desire to start using using merely asserting hi to a minimum of one yet another whilst flow paths. i do no longer propose to disrespect you with this final assertion, yet i think of that this is somewhat naive to have self assurance that your usa is finished without lack of information. nonetheless, save your physique of ideas in direction of existence the way it is and don't replace.

Eleanor Roosevelt the wife of deceased President Frankline Roosevelt said, "No one can hurt you unless you give them the power to." What do you care what some dumb idiot says to you. You know who and what you are and that is just fine

Because Black people are THE most prejudice people on the planet. Forget white people they have tried to bend over backwards for them but they just use the system and make it harder for every other nationality to be taken seriously. Blacks are PREJUDICE as hell!

People that treat you rude and disrespectfull are the problem not you. It is the old system if I make you be bad/stupid/ugly than I must be good/smart/beautiful. It tells you about them and not about you.
Be good be nice

Yes you seem nice and deserve to be treated with respect. If someone is not nice to you they are probably just jealous.
