If black people don't want to be called black why do they call us whites?

Question

Your skin may not be black but our skin is not white either

Answer 1

Some blacks (not all) are overly sensitive and still seeking some identity. It seems what they want to be referred to as an ethnic group changes every so many years ... ***** to colored (as in NAACP) National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, black, brown, Afro-American appears to be safe to say these days and not be called a racist.

Some blacks are bound to be offended no matter what a white person refers to them as ... they've got a chip on their shoulder and are always headhunting for a fight or argument. These are the ones that call whites honky, cracker ... and each other the N word. It's OK for them to use those terms but let a white use the N word and there will be a riot. I think that if they recent and dislike the N word so much than nobody should use it ... not even themselves.

I am saying some not all ... saying all is ignorant and racist. Saying some is the simple truth.

Answer 2

In every race, in every culture there are people who are different. If all the world were black then there would be prejudice against those that were darker or shorter. If all the world were white it would be those that were taller and shorter, those that were fat or skinny, those that were ugly and those that were pretty. Whatever you are and what ever you look like or what ever the color of your skin be sure and confident that it really doesn't matter because you will be whatever you are until you die. Remember this: It's the people that put down others that are insecure about themselves.
