How come people seem so disgusted and hate black people?

Question

Other races makes us seem like we're monsters, and that we're ugly. Especially with the women it's like we never get a chance and always get looked down upon. Why are we so hated? It hurts a lot.

Answer 1

Interesting question. I have read the responsed thus far, and here is my opinion...and I am sure I will piss alot of people off with this...but so be it.

First, I don't think there are many people around who hate blacks simply for the color of their skin. Here is what I think it is: White people do not like the culture the black people perpetuate. By that, I mean that it seems that the anti-establishment culture of the black american population is one that sets themselves up for failure and promotes self-defeatism.

Without trying to promote stereotypes, let me use this as an example. I know a young black gentleman, very nice guy, works hard, and has 2 jobs, single with no kids. He has a 32,000 dollar Escalade, with a 3000 dollar stereo system, 4K in wheels and tires, a motorcycle that he has spent thousands of dollars on streching and customizing it, but does not own a house - as a matter of fact, he lives in a very crappy apartment complex in the "hood" where his stuff gets broke into on a regular basis. Does it appear to anyone that he has made good financial decisions here? Or, does it appear that he has set himself up for failure in life?

Let me use another personal experience as an example. The neighborhood I grew up in, where my parents still live, was pretty much upper-middle class, white-bread neighboorhood. Finally, a black family moved in...obviously, they had enough money to buy the house, but here is what happend. The fence fell down - 5 years ago, and has not been fixed, still. The roof needs to be replaced. There are 2 broke down cars in the driveway. They do not mow reguarly. The kids leave all kinds of toys in the front yard. The house needed to be painted when they bought it, and still does. They do not trim the trees or landscape. If this was a white family, the neighborhood association would be going nuts, but since it is the only black family in the neighborhood, the association is scared that they would appear prejudice if they addressed the calamity that is their house, so they let them get away with it. None of the neighbors like them, mostly because of the way they have let their property go, not because they are black. However, this only encourages the opinion that all blacks do this kind of thing. Has this family made the best decision for themselves and those around them, or have they defeated themselves by letting their single biggest investment go to crap?

Here is another personal observation: I once worked with a black woman. She was the kind that apparently had a chip on her shoulder against whitey. She would brag that she could and would get away with not doing her job the best she could because she would NEVER get fired in today's politically correct environment because she was "black AND a woman". So, she half-*** did her job, was late to work, took long lunches, called in sick so often, you would have thought she was sure to die soon. Was she self-defeating, bucking against the system, just because she was black? By the way, she was fired about 6 months after I met here. She did not know that the head guy in charge was documenting all her BS.

I think that if black folks would really like to get ahead in society, that they can. If they want to. and want to is the key here. I know several black families who have done it. I went to college with a guy...but he is only half black, but he is black enough you think he is black. Anyway, he got his bachelors degree about the semester before me. Today, he has now finished his PHD, and is raking in the big bucks. But back to the "want to" that I mentioned. If you want to sit back and have an entitlement mentality, and feel like the world 'owes' you something, simply because the color of your skin, you will never get a head. If you continue to sink money into depreciating cash-value assets like SUV's with systems and wheels, rather than appreciating cash-value assets like property and other investments, you will never get a head. Dave Chappell did a skit on his show that, while very amusing, was a valid commentary on the situation I am talking about. I believe the skit was called "reperations". Anyway, the premise of the skit was that the US Government had paid reparations to all the blacks in the country. It played like a news report on the nightly news. As Dave's character interview people, new things came across like "all across town, the cadillac dealers are sold out" and "cognac stock has reached an all time high". It was funny, and it played on stereotypes, but it illustrates what I am talking about. From the white point of view, black folks have misaligned priorties, and they black parents of today are not teaching their kids any different, because it is what they know.

Finally, I think white people resent...absoutly resent...things like affirmative action, quotas, black-only ________ (fill in the blank). We do not see how, as much as a segment of society preaches fairness as black folks do, you could see any of these policies as "fair". That makes whitey mad at darkie, fueling racial tensions even further. Let me take advantage of my soap box here for something else. White folks KNOW that black folks do not eat BBQ, chicken and watermelon everyday. We know this because we see you at taco bell, fazolis, chili's and chinese food buffets too. However, we do find it humerous. When white folks are wanting to joke with you, enjoy it. It means they LIKE you. Getting outrageously upset about a JOKE makes white people not like you. IT IS A DAMN JOKE, get over yourself!

Don't get me wrong, I could go on and on about dumb-*** white people I know and the stupid stuff they do, but we are not talking about that.

I am not faulting anyone, but I am trying to illustrate a point here. If you hate the stereotypes, then do something to break them. Take someone stereotyping you as a challenge not to be that person. Learn something, get educated at something, even if it is plumbing, and make a life for yourself, quit blaming all the unfairness in the world on something that happened to your great, great, great, great grandfather...my life is not fair either, no one OWES you anything for any reason! This is what, again in my humble opinion only, what white people would scream at black folks if they could.

I am sure it hurts in your shoes to feel the way that you do. I am sure my response here will hurt your feelings too. But I want to be honest with you, and give you a new prespective on the position. I have had this conversation with several people, who very often thought I was racist, and after the conversation, did not feel that way. I have been honest with black folks about my position on this subject, and many of them had more respect for me as a result...others were conviced after talking that I am a Klansman (which I am not). As far as black women go? I don;t know why you would be "looked down upon" more than anyone else...more than black men. I enjoy watching black women. They amuse the hell out of me. Especially in large groups, or with their children. They are sooooooo animated, use alot of hand motions with trying to make a point. I don't have anymore beef with black women than I do the man in the moon. I am sorry you feel that way.

In summary, I think, especially now-days, that racial tension is not so much about skin color, it is a culture clash. It is 2 very different segments of society, led differently, taught differently, and that have different priorities in life, being forced to intermingle, often against each segments desires, and it causes friction. That friction finds the path of least resistance and becomes verbalized as "I don't like black people" or I don't like white people".

Just my opnion...I could be wrong.

Answer 2

I don't see this as being true. Your comments appear a bit racist to me, but I am sure that your thoughts arise from your experiences. Same goes for most intelligent people - but, many people do not in fact think for themselves and are biased because fo what someone else thinks, or what they think everyone else thinks (peer pressures).

Balcks, like any race has people of all different levels of beauty. I do agree though that blacks are more discriminated against than any other race in America. If only everyone could have the same perspectives for a few weeks, that would all go away - the key to this is integration in as many aspects of life as possible -

pop culture, church, school, business, sports, etc... It seems that the more exposure to another race that someone has, the more shared experiences, the more understanding , and the closer the two perspectives - the less discrimination there is

Answer 3

I will risk being called a hater and a bigot, but I am not because I care enough to answer your question in a full and truthful manner. I do not think hate is the correct term. It is about "social rule breaking", unwritten rules which have been followed for eons in society, and whites have been socialized to follow since they were young. For whatever reason, your social norms and theirs may very well differ. Their ways and yours are different, and they may not like the way that you do things, thus they do not want to be around you, but it is nothing personal. I will give you a few things which are different:

A: 7 kids with 5 different mothers: White folks do not usually do things this way, and look down on it.

B: Two people a foot apart yelling at the top of their lungs and not listening to each other: Sorry to say, this is a common way that some of your friends/family very well may communicate. Whites do not like it, generally, and view it as anywhere from annoying or threatening, and keep away from it.

C: Pants worn halfway down the butt: Although some young white folks like it, most whites view it as sloppy.

D: Hanging out in the street all night in groups: Most self-respecting whites will be in their place at this time, because many have to go to work or school the next day They therefore are suspect other groups when there are large amounts of them hanging around in the streets, there are very few logical reasons for this.

E: Noisy in social settings: Whites do not like going to movies or graduations where people are screaming and yelling, and they cannot hear what is going on. Whites tend to remain quiet at times when that is expected.

Answer 4

In the most part I think it all has to do with communication .I am a white man and I live in a all black neighborhood for the last 4 years and had a hell of a time understanding what they where talking about it was like moving to another country and didn't know the language. Now 80% of my Friends are black and treat me better then whites do . As far as the woman go don't let them fool you most white guys think black woman are HOT but they haven't grown up yet and still worry about what others like mommy and daddy would say . Another funny thing is I am one of the brothers now and the guys sit around talking about white people like i am one of the black guys . All and all just love everyone regardless of what people think . What do they know anyway.

Answer 5

It's plain bias, prejudice, ignorance, superficiality, cruelty and all the negative things you can attribute to human beings.
People tend to like those who resemble them; thus, those who are very different from them tend to arouse their suspicion. If these people are superior socially, they would tend to mire those very different from them at the bottom. It's not just about race, but also language, class, tribe, religion and so on. Study any country and you'll find out for yourself.
I guess that in the end, it's human nature we are confronting.
what's important as a I see it, is a positive self-image. Just because some people think black women are not pretty does not mean it's true. Not all white or Latina or Asian women are pretty anyway.
Hey, I don't believe black ladies aren't pretty. Vanessa Williams, Diana Ross, Beyonce, Whitney, Sade, Halle, Kerry Washington, Mariah and so many others are definitely gorgeous. I liked Kerry Washington, Aunjanue Ellis and Regina King in "Ray." If you haven't watched it, I suggest you do.

Answer 6

I belive other races belive the sterotypes that have plagued the black race for years. right now some of the vides out there kinda of keep them in that realm. I find black women to be very stronge and great mothers. Its up to the women in the black race to make a change..just like they have the 1000 men...women of the black race need to do the same and choose a cause or effort that will change the image and reputation they have gotten

Answer 7

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I do not hate black people or anyone else and that I am not a racist by any means.
I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends no matter what race they are.
If another person gives me respect, then I give them the same in return.
We are all created equal and nobody has the right to look down on anyone else...unless they have a good reason for it!!
Don't let ignorance hurt your feelings...Everyone is beautiful in their own special way!

Answer 8

I see what you mean; blacks get a lot of bad press. the phrase, "There are more blacks in prison than in college" contributes to that feeling. I don't know if it is true, but it is widely used. Another reason some white people use is that they think blacks get the jobs whites "should" get, just because of affirmative action. I imagine some of them hate just because hate of blacks is "passed down" to them by someone they respect. That is the most insidious reason of all. I'm not going to sit here and say all blacks are angels, there are bad apples in every race, but I realize, as do some others, that they aren't the totality of it.

Answer 9

Yes,I think that you should can that 20th century mentality that you have. There are plenty of black men that date,have kids and marry women from a different ethnic background. I can't believe that people still have an issue with interracial dating in 2012. The forefathers of the civil rights movement fought for equal rights and that included interracial dating. I wouldn't call an open minded individual a sellout. If an african american speaks intelligently and carries themselves in an respectful and dignified manner while in the company of others or in public,what do you think people call you? A sellout. If an african american acts the total opposite of the negative stereotypes associated with us,they're still considered as a sellout to half brained fools. That sellout sh*t is dead. In my opinion,self hate only applies to african americans that date outside their race because they want light skinned children with "good hair". Self hate only applies to people that bleach their skin to make themselves lighter,I.e lil kim,tamar braxton and sammy sosa.

Answer 10

Screw 'em. I think black women are one of the prettiest races of women. They are able to hold onto their beauty no matter the size or height or age, which I know whites have a bigger problem with. People are stupid, and usually those people that hate blacks, though their voice may be loud, their groups are few and far between. They hate everyone but whites. I know it may be hard to believe but they are slowly dying out. Look at our generation, interracial relationships flourish which is a huge contrast to our parent's generation. I know it's hard to take now but your grandchildren, and maybe even your children, won't have as much of it to deal with it as you do now. Stay strong and prove them wrong as much as possible!

Answer 11

II have a few black friends who I love dearly.
But sometimes young black women come off with a bitchy attitude without even giving you an opportunity to talk to them. Right away some put this "keep away from me" wall that some people don't even bother climbing.
