All my life my I was told that "ALL" (Not just whites) races look down on blacks and blame all negatives on blacks. At my young age I plannned to be a perfectionist. I am still in school though but I must be number 1. The job I work at I am aggressive, my school work must be an A++, even when I play sports I must win. I want to rise farther than those who say I am infereior cause of my race. Many people say I am mean and too "top dog". Some say I am an over achiever and I don't have to prove myself, but I do feel like I have to prove something. Most say I have a chip on my shoulder, but I just want to be the best.
Am I wrong for feeling this way? I am tired of hearing "Blacks are inferior and not human" They may be right about the not human part, cause I am going to be so much more advanced than them, that I am going to seem like and alien to them.

You should become who and what you want to be because of your own goals, not to please or prove yourself to anyone. If being a high achiever is what you want to do, then do it. I try to down play high achievements to my daughter because I want her to do her best, not be the best. It's only important to me that she gives it her all. Unfortunately you have affirmative action going against you.

you sound like your over aggressively trying to prove to yourself that your not inferior. do not alien-ate yourself from others. this country was founded on the basis that blacks are inferior, and though you will still find racism and prejudice, times have changed. you have all the opportunities to succeed at anything you want. you have the will for accomplishment. be the best you can be. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. be the proud black man you are. your skin color does not make you inferior. people judge you by your actions, they categorize you and place blame where they see fit... channel your anger toward reaching your goals and don't worry about what others think. never doubt that black is beautiful, inside and out.

in case you may given any hint of a clue as to the context in whihc it fairly is happening, we could have been waiting to assist. If it fairly is on the job, bypass to a supervisor or HR. If it fairly is a neighbor, purely say "you're bothering me" and the two close the door or stroll on. If it fairly is at a bar, alert the bartender he's bothering you. if it fairly is the bartender, bypass away. If it fairly is someplace else, understanding the place that someplace IS, and who this individual is, could have been effectual. Why do not you do away with this question, and attempt returned, yet giving the appropriate info.

I can understand how you are feeling, n your not wrong, there's no such thing as an inferior race. you are what you make urself! so do rise above the rest and prove it to them. just go ahead in what you're doing, it might be the only way out for you but I believe it shouldnt be made out this way... n Best of Luck.

Show them you are not what they thought you are. Not by building up your negative traits. But making yourself do good things the people who think they are better than you cant do by themselves.
Remember...you are not the only person who is sufferring being the victim of racism. Millions of people around the world are. And there are worse cases than yours. But what you are doing is making yourself what they think you are, ruining your charactor and therefore happiness of your life. Only to make them say..."See he turned out to be what i always said he is." You dont get love by your overachiever alien attitude. And love is the only thing that will bring happiness in a persons life.

wow-- it must be horrible to hear such things as you mention... but if you allow yourself to be driven by anger and a spirit of competition, you will drive yourself into an early grave.... don't let the racists push you that way. Look around for role models who have worked co-operatively to get things done...
God bless!

You will get there I have no doubt.

Why the colour matters to you? Right dont become a Hitler or worse shutting yourself from the society. Look I am black and all my girlfriends are white. They seem to enjoy the black more than the white.
If you dont believe me you go to vietnam, china, russia and australia.

no, you are not wrong to want to prove people wrong. they are blind if they think you are inferior because of the way you look. no one should ever be judged like that.
