What is it about SOME white people that makes them honestly believe that they are superior to all other races?

Question

What gives any person the right to decide that they are better than someone else?

Answer 1

I agree that you are conditioned to feel this way. I grew up very "traditional" and for my family that's a code word for racist. I couldn't bring friends of other races home because we were "traditional". We were not rich but we were financially secure and it was obvious although it was never said in our household my parents (especially my mother) assumed we were better than others. She is still beautiful today, long natural blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. I am inclined to believe it starts here at home. My friends adapted immediately. They know they're superior and don't care to make justifications. At one point, I wanted to be different - but I still believe the core values and these things just don't disappear.

When you discover that while you are dreaming of a more colorblind America there are many non white Americans who want to have Kill-Cracker-Days and it becomes easier for many I would imagine to identify with what they are taught initially.

To be completely honest, I think you have to grow up in a household that constantly states with words/actions that all the races are equal and we are all apart of the human race in order to avoid the feeling of superiority.

PS. I don't want to be attacked for my honesty.., it's out of sincerity..

Answer 2

As a black woman I can tell you that its not just some whites that feel this way. There are people in every race that feel this way. Unfortunately these people for the most part have been trained from infancy to hate. It is truly unfortunate. The good thing is some of these children grow up and realize that hate doesn't make sense. The flip side is that the KKK and other racist groups are constantly recruiting people.... How does it end...education.

Answer 3

Does it really make any difference putting the word SOME in all capital letters? It's like asking why do SOME people like brocoli? or why do SOME people hate chocolate? To answer your question, I guess it's the same reason why SOME black people believe they are superior to other races. Why even bother asking the question if you know that only SOME white people are like that? Obviously not ALL white people are, and SOME people who have a superiority complex are not white.

Answer 4

permit's get as quickly as subject right away. Why do you think of blacks have been this variety of fulfillment in interest? via fact the avenues in different aspects have been closed to them. that is all approximately expectancies. for many youthful African adult adult males, the opportunity of being a footballer in Europe became their basically realisable dream. so as that they've been stimulated to get entangled in activities at early a while, rather as this might enable scholarships to educational insitutions they'd not actual have had get right of entry to to. Whites with extra advantageous opportunities took up interest heavily in lesser numbers as a effect. there is not any such subject as psychological or actual superiority between races. we are all born equivalent, that is only our social risk is diverse. this may even out with the aid of the years. There are a lot quite clever black electorate contributing to the planet, and a lot spectacular white sportsmen and girls human beings.

Answer 5

Okay, the problem here is you have two questions. Right? None. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). We're all equal before God.

But as to the WHY people conjure up a sense of superiority anyway, I can say that for us pale-skinned folk, it's because we have been more successful in history than, pretty much, any other skin color. Then again, the dark-skinned folk had their heyday and built quite a few impressive structures, which are still standing (can't say that about some or our skyscrapers, eh?) Then the slightly lighter-skinned folk east of them had their heyday and built an impressive empire, complete with gunpowder and paper while us pale folk were still running around Europe's forests chasing bear. So maybe it's simply our turn to fail.

Answer 6

See, this is the funny thing, but that's part of the plan: a certain group of people want them to be bent out that they are white so that can clog their mind, basically a great portion of racists have been programmed to care about that to divert their attention from the REAL problem

One of my sources is a Tupac verse "hey n*gg*rs, this is great, all the whites are worshipping satan, lucifer in their so called freemason’s temples, they get rich at ther expense of all the poor irrespective of whether they are black coloured or white"

Fascinating

Answer 7

too much time at the shallow end of the gene pool, truthfully i think it's all they know they were never taught any different this is what their parents believe and their parents before them and so on and all many have to go on is the stereotype which is no way to judge anyone but until they go away try to look at them as i do "entertainment"

Answer 8

Unfortunately there are people like that in every race. Not just whites.

Answer 9

Inherited ignorance.
Ignorance can be changed with knowledge. True knowledge says that all mankind are absolutely equal.
Inherited ignorance is more difficult; perhaps some additional shame is needed to raise new conscience.

Answer 10

It's called Delusional thinking. Look it up in the DSMIII
Mental Disorders
