I'm quite shocked on the number of questions that point only negative people who happen to be Black. Some claim not to be racist, but only focusing on race is racism to me. When are people going to realize that color is just a color and a murderer and criminal can be white, black, brown or whatever. Instead of complaining about a "race" shouldn't we learn how to fight the solution and not be part of the problem?

I have a perfect example. The girl, ifyouwant, points out there are more Black people in jail. Well, can't we look at those people as just people in jail? Instead of looking at only the color of their skin, why can't we try to eradicate the problem? If we want racism to end then we all must not focus on the color of skin. Focusing on color rather being racist or not is still going to lead to seperation between us. Anyways, I'm just rambling. Sorry.

Because the most negative people are the most noisy and outspoken. It's easier to complain and insult than to be understanding, compassionate, open-minded, etc.
Plus there are a lot of people that are both hateful and cowardly, and it's easy to go on a computer and put down people of other races without fear of getting beaten up. The best you can do is just not pay attention to them, they go away eventually.

You know i used to feel same way until i heared how black people, especially females answer questions that relate to white women or who is better or worse looking race wise. They get sooooo defensive they stop noticing that they make racist comments towards other races to bring themselves looking like superstars or some ****.....hahaha anyways i dont think that everyone is negative towards blakc people. But i believe racism goes both ways.......like it is in a song ...."it takes two." So if i hear a question or responce that is related to race usually a black people come off very harsh defending themselves and forget about tact and stereotyping.

you would be surprised how many racist comments come from non-americans who have never met a black person before. Some of the most racist people in the world live in europe because it is acceptable to mock blacks, jews, and arabs there. These people have a serious problem and it is getting disgusting.

Negativity toward black people on yahoo, in the United States, or in North America shouldn't be a surprise. Everywhere you go, you will encounter racism. Africa itself isn't immune to people hating black folks.

I'm afraid the girl above me(very first answer) is right!-not that that would be an excuse! while I think it is disgusting , it isn't against the law to express your opinion on the subject of race.
there are just way too many people who love them selves only and cant wait to hurt someone just for the fun of it! so don't let them get to you because they don't know what is right and wrong , they are just ignorant!

just replying to the dummy above me
What does race have to do with people in jail? How would you know who's in jail unless you've been there yourself...? But besides the point.. what does that comment have to do with the question asked?

I notice it too. Those people are just jealous cowards. There is no way they would say half of this nonsense to the face of a black man. They love our style and our sway, and they know they can not be us.

I have seen negativity towards ALL colours, creeds and religions on here. the only explanation I can come up with is that racists come in all colours (not just white) and hatred towards others in universal.. Quite sad really

It's not just blacks. The Indians, Europeans, Anglos.... and especially the Hispanics,.... all get blasted. It's human nature to defend your own kind, and by doing so, you sometimes put others down. It's not just about race, it's about gender, too... or haven't you noticed????

I believe cocoa just made a racial comment.
"They can't be like us" meaning what???? Are you separating yourself from others? If we are all one that comment should not have been made.
Slamming people for speaking their minds and then you do it yourself. HMMMM!!
That is the way I see it!!
