Who will pay for my ticket back to Africa? I think I want to go live in Zimbabwe where blacks are treated fairly.

Whites aren't so racist as you say. I'm guessing you live in America where racism is a lot more prevalent than in other countries (such as Holland, the most liberal nation on earth)
All humans are racist, however in the west whites are a majority, and therefore are the worst culprits.
Racism is abundant in non-white nations (the caste system in India, the Rwandan and Armenian genocides, to be a few examples)
I'm sorry that you have experiences racism from white people you have met, it's the human condition unfortunately. However, I hope you don't judge all white people by their actions.
p.s. Africa is the most war-torn continent on earth, countless atrocities that happen there are terrible tragedies, regardless as to whether they are motivated by race or not.

Maybe some white people are racist because they have been able to get away with it and it is handed down from one generation to another.
Sorry to hear you have had this experience, do hope you will meet human beings that make you feel like an equal.
Racism has had its time and for the new generations i think we will see less of this shameful way.
Much love to you and do not let a few get you down.

why are you racist against white people? -because you are putting all white people in a category, I grew up on a Indian Reservation due to the fact that my step father is Indian and was raised for many years to believe I was Indian. I was beat up daily because I was not dark enough to live there I was called horrible names and at one point had a huge chunk of my hair cut off just because it is black. Why can't everyone just except each other and get past the HATE!!

why should someone else pay for your ticket? if you wanna go, then earn the money yourself and go. but i agree with alot of people before me. there are SOME white people who are racist, just like there are SOME black people, Some latin people, Some asia people...... the list goes on. but not all white people, or any other color of person for that matter, are racist. just some of a vast majority are racist. sounds like your one of the racist ones..... i hope you can try to do some reserch on why you feel that way,

I don't think that all white people are racist, but I think alot of people are because that is what they were taught from their family and the society that they live in. People tend to be afraid of anything that is different than themselves. It is not right, or fair to judge someone for the color of their skin, but unfortunately lots of people do, and they are cheating themselves from knowing some really great people.

Most whites are not racist, hatred and mistreatment are learned. I come from the south and was taught that all are equal, and have seen racism in all races.
The bad news is that even 30 years later after MLK Jr. more is to be learned and achieved. We are closer to the dream then before.

Most whites arent that racist. Most whites dont care. But with comments like that, which a majority of whites are tired of hearing, you should be able to understand why they group most blacks into one category. As for Zimbabwe, I'd say that the fact that they are desperately trying to get away from there and into countries like the UK, France, Germany, and US I'd probably say they arent treated fairly at all. Stop lumping whites into one category as personally, thats racist in itself.

you shld take pity on the whites for truly they are blind. they lack maturity, indepth knowledge of the world and of humanity. you have to blame the parents for it is their parents that instil the bias/prejudice into their heads from 3yrs old onwards. then they become administrators/politicians. hence the system and the hatred is entrenched and legitimised. i too suffer some form of discrimination as my color is the minority in my country. be brave and ride over it. try avoidance where possible and trust in god and be happy seek a religion that shows equality of all colors and gender. dont despair. develop a superiority complex and see how backward the whites are in their hatred against other colors and u will be fine
