Based on personal experience, knowledge of my community and answers to some previous questions on Y!Answers, this question came to mind. Does this question have validity?

I am speaking of cultureal differences, not behaviour due to skin color.

I am not trying to stereotype. This is the kind of question that would be dealt with in sociology. there are cultural differences. heck, just look at hip hop music and music created by the white artists as examples. Hip hop is extremely aggressive and angry. White musical expression of anger would be more like Barry Mcguire's Eve of Destruction.

I don't think you can generalize like that without researching and developing scientific proof. I would suggest that people, no matter what race, can be either of the two. As far as people on this site, to suggest you can tell the colour of their skin based on an answer (unless they come right out and tell you what race they are) is a little far fetched.

All questions have some validity, maybe just not the kind you were looking for. However, I think that black, white, hispanic, asian, whatever, all have the same range of agression and passivity. It depends on location, age, education, economic background, and how they were raised. It doesn't matter what color you skin is, you can be passive to the point of paralyzed meekness, or you can be aggressive to the point of homicidal.

Hmm. Since in light, white is a combination of all colors, would it stand to reason that white has the biggest problem with all qualities since they are all struggling inside for dominance? Or would it be that whites are devoid of all positive qualities since they lack color? Do my questions have VALIDITY? I am white. I am sick of all these questions about color and race. We are all the same inside-there is ONE RACE. It is called the HUMAN RACE. It shouldn't matter what color we are-we all have positive and negative traits as individuals.

I think this question is not valid in itself but depends on a lot of things to be answered and that is why it has not much validity. People are people. People react to circumstances in different ways not because of their skin color. Where people live, how people grow up, contact with different styles of people and how people have seen other people handle situations etc. all help to fashion how people would deal with situations themselves. Your question may have a true answer for people in some environment and not-true for many others. But it is not because of peoples skin colors.

You mention that you are talking from a cultural standpoint.
Well apart from cultural difference es the only difference between blacks and whites is genetic, and we know this does not cause more aggression.
I would imagine that most of your experience happens because black families tend to be poorer, less socially mobile, and living in worse areas than white families.
This is simply a case of rich/poor, rather than black/white.

It depends on were the people were raised and how they were taught .Allot of blacks are poor and were razed in very bad conditions while whites mainly are razed in good neighborhoods and good schools .I used to live on the south side of Cleveland Ohio and what you have their are allot getto whites and let me tell you they are allot more violent than any blacks I ever met.I guess it just depends on the way people are raised .I don't think it has anything to do with race.

based on biology, yes- this can be more of a sociological question tho, because over all, being a part of a minority group sets a person up for things like violence and crime. Research has shown that black people are more agressive than whites.

I would say yes, based on living north of Detroit for over 30 years.

Based on my own experiences I would say that black people are indeed more aggressive than white people when it comes to certain scenarios.
