I am white, pale or beige. I say white, just easier. I don't have a problem with all blacks, browns or caramels just as I don't have a problem with all whites either. In my eyes it doesn't matter what color your skin is, as a person you are either a good person or a bad person. The thing I hate about ANY and ALL colors of skin is the constant blaming the other color for the others hardships or bad happenings. There are still whites today that think every black person is bad because of what a few have done. Just like there are still a few black people today that blame every white person for slavery. Back as far as I know my family history, there was never a slave owned by any of my family members. My great great grandfather did have a few black men that worked for him along with himself and other white men even a couple spanish men. They were all paid the same and ate at the family supper table just like they were family for dinner many nights. Then they went home to their own homes. But, sometimes I am looked upon by some black people as a "white" person and blamed for what some white people have done. If someone is not willing to look beyond the past of one another, no reflection on skin tone, these same questions will still be asked hundreds of years from now. People need to open their eyes, it is not what is on the outside, it is what is on the inside that makes a person. I hope somehow this answer has helped....Not all white people will label you for your skin, they will love you for who you are.
P.S. Just a little thing I have noticed.....There are just as many racial questions asked by white people as there are asked by black people.... Think about it....

I think you are misinformed! most white people dont hate black people. actually I went to school where I was the minority! yet I couldn't get the scholarship!?!? why because I'm white! now let me ask you this why is it that a black person can get a scholarship because of the color of their skin but a white person can't because it would be racist! Or why do places of business have to hire a certain amount of the "minority" which aparently is not a white person! So why is it that because a place of business would hire a black with less experience instead of someone with a good resume and experience because of the color of their skin. I'm the least racist person their is I just can't stand it when people have to say why am I disliked cause of the color of my skin. why can't people understand that some people are just disliked because they're not a good person!

I am a forty-something-year-old white woman. The best man at my wedding twenty years ago was a black man. I actually had had a little crush on him previously. My best friend until she moved back to California was Mexican-American; her little boy's dad was black. She later married our best man.
We live next door to a black family; our prejudiced neighbors on the other side quit talking to us because we work on projects together.
I have no patience for prejudiced people. I live in an area where white, black, hispanic, Russian/ Ukrainian/ Serbian/ Croatian, Asian people live in close proximity. It's not even a metropolitan area. We also have a large gay/lesbian/transgender population here. Although there are prejudiced people here, of course, we don't have a big problem with hate crimes and so forth.
I think it's a shame that you feel that all white people are prejudiced. (In fact, you are actually prejudging caucasians. Surprised at that thought?) Maybe you need to get out of your town and experience other parts of the world. I'm not saying prejudice doesn't exist, I just hate that you think that because I'm white, that I would automatically dislike you. Not all of our world is like that.
And, it's not a matter of what any one racial or ethnic group has done to another, it's about ignorance and fear of the unknown. The more time we spend around people of other races, the more prejudice withers and dies.

"Distrust" not "dislike". I've been mugged twice by blacks and white person I've ever known has been assaulted, robbed, had a gun pointed at them for "taking a parking space". It's a fact that blacks commit most of the violent crime (in disproportionate numbers according to just being 12% of the population).

Not all white persons hate blacks... its the minority trust me. I'm black and I can say that. This discrimination against blacks comes from the days of slavery and sadly the mentality still lives with us. Its based on fear, jealousy and ignorance - plain and simple. I mean some persons are just opposed to what they don't understand. They refuse to accept what is different. Its really sad and hopefully sometime in the future things will be different.

I don't hate any race at all. Because guess what when the world ends we all go have to live with each other in heaven or hell. African Americans are really cool and they have had alot of torture and bad things happen to them. But i have not been around long enough to say ''what have blacks did to whites'' Because i can't see everything. But yeah i get what you saying.

I have been wondering about the same thing "what have us blacks every done to whites to make them so angry at us?". I mean we cannot help what color skin or features we have just like white people cannot help what they look like either.

You have made an awfully big assumption that "most" white people dislike blacks. I, like most of the white people I know, could care less if you are brown, caramel, red, blue or plaid! Maybe it is where you live, in my town we all get along, and many are bi-racial.

You have fallen into the same trap as those who you perceive are racists. You are generalizing. Just as not all blacks are thugs or undesirables, not all whites hate blacks. Maybe you need to move...

white people are scared of black people most people have been raised up that blacks are criminals and will **** you whenever they can because they are just N*ggers like that and it is horrible and I am sorry for putting it that way. I think it is wrong because I haven't been sh*tted by a black person the way white people have did me I just guess it is sterotypes whites and blacks are the same white ppl get jealous over black peoples nice things they think I wonder how she can get wefare and have have a nice car or food stamps or whatever. It is terrible for me to say it but alot of people have that mind set they assume that black people are out to take from the white people and they think that they are taking all the governments money and white people can't get help. I think it is fear and jealousy that black people can sing and dance and got strong personalities and can state their option while white people are too meek to say anything. Beside blacks girls have it going on big boobs big butt full lips and their men are notorious for their big ahems. speaking of that white men are just jealous of black men because of that ,I think .don't worry about it people will be the way they want to and you can't change it. I think that there is plenty of white men who would love to bed a black girl but they wouldn't admit it to their friends or families if they did.
