Why do blacks seem to distrust fellow blacks more than any other race? Is it living in the ghetto with little hope that produces such a hostile and paranoid atmosphere, or is this a problem caused by the white man from the slave days? What can be done to stop the animosity that so many blacks have for each other? More social programs? School programs where kids can talk about their feelings and why they have anger towards each other?

Because they are instinctually tribal. They have a distrust for strangers. This was a survival mechanism when they were roaming the african plains a few hundred years ago to keep them out of danger from competing tribes. Thats why they don't socialise well or build civilisations like other racial groups.

Who says blacks do? you? Stats show that white on white crime happen more often than black on black crime. The media doesn't show you that. Can you tell me why so many white men sleep with underage girls? What can be done to stop this? More social programs? After work programs so white men and talk about how they will destroy everything they've work for, for the opportunity to have a girl < 18 years old?
oh Phil_macgroin Before you try to put blacks down learn how to spell first. Wow I guess you were too LAZY to even use the spell checker provided for you.

I have not noticed what you are talking about. It seems like a race of people are being generalized here. The only thing I can think of that might remotely be close to answering your question, is that I have heard and seen on occasion, animosty and resentment shown by blacks, toward blacks who get an education, have good jobs, and live in nice homes. I have heard this resentment/animosity stems from the notion that the educated/well-paid blacks are somehow betraying their race by behaving white. I have heard and seen that, but I don't believe that. There are plenty of white people who lack a good education, good job and nice home. Poverty and wealth are common in all races, and not exlusive to one race only. I don't know how else to answer this question. Hope it helps a little bit.

Blacks do tend to hate each other a lot, I'll agree with you there. I can't speak for other races but blacks have a LOT of hatred towards one another. I remember being called all sorts of derogatory names by other black classmates just because I made good grades and spoke proper English and the teacher's appreciated my hard work. Even today I get stares from other blacks when I speak because I guess I just don't fit into the "mold" that they've created for black people. They need to get over themselves and realize that everyone can be their own person. No one has to fit into society's mold.

It is so funny reading what people have to say about a race that doesn't even belong to them.
Enough with the generalizations. They make you look very naive and ignorant.
1). I've noticed that most people (regardless of color) don't trust one another...and why should they. This world is crazy
2). I've never lived in the ghetto
3). I was never a slave

You must spend all your time with Black people, were you adopted by a Black family? You talk about the ghetto but do you live there? If not, I think you need to edit your question because you obviously know slim to nothing about Black people.

I hate nothing more than white people who act like they know so darn much about black people. Are you obsessed?
I could care less what white people do.
And little boy not all blacks live in the ghetto. You need to mind your business.

I don't hate other black people! I don't know anyone who hates other black people because those people are black! That makes no sense. Are you referring to black people in the ghettos? Or gangs? I think that the people they hate just happen to be black. I don't think they hate black people......

The way i see it, it all stems from slavery days. black had to compete for things and that is why they still do it. and ya know people don't understand that blacks can't let go of the past because it hurts each generation because things go from generation to generation. it is only natural.
AND TO A FEW UP ABOVE. IT IS HARD TO GET OVER SOMETHING THAT STILL EXISTS. BLACKS ARE STILL GETTING STEREOTYPED FOR BEING CULTURALLY DIFFERENT. WE DO NOT TALK LIKE THE WHITE MAN BECAUSE WE ARE BLACK AND WE DO NOT COOK LIKE THE WHITE MAN BECAUSE OUR CULTURALS ARE DIFFERENT AND WHY IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ONLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE OUR CULTURES ARE DIFFERENT.
