Yo If I was black in a white community would i experience discrimination?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Probably, discrimination goes on everywhere and a lot of it has to do with the community, not all communities would discriminate, I am white and have experienced discrimination when I go into black communities but I don't judge the whole of any race by the actions of what is actually I believe to be a minority of racist, you can find racism and discrimination amongst all races, and it's wrong any which way you color it.

Answer 3

I think it would depend on the community, don't you? When I was in grade school, there was one black girl in our entire school one year. Her name was Caroline Jones. I remember her name to this day because she was a celebrity. At first, she was a novelty to most of the kids, who had never even met a black person, but Caroline was the sweetest kid in the world, and you just had to like her. Once we realized that she was just like any kid, the color didn't make a difference.

I also remember her because I was completely humiliated for being rude to her. It was right before lunch, and we girls were all in the bathroom washing our hands. I wanted to be first in line for lunch, and I just shoved past her and some other girls. When I did that, she hit her knee or elbow (I can't remember) on the sink. The next thing I know, Caroline is standing there crying, and about 15 girls are all yelling at me at once for being rude, and making her cry, and not saying excuse me. The teacher made me apologize in front of the whole class. (Plus, I had to be last in line, and Caroline got to go first.)

Based on my experience, not every community of white people would discriminate against you. We were taught to respect every person, and we were taught to apologize when we didn't live up to that expectation. Every child should read the story, "After You, My Dear Alphonse". It illuminates the difference between how children relate to different colors, and how their parents teach them to stereotype at an early age.

Answer 4

To an extent, but not necessarily in a hateful way.

I'm white, was raised in a white community, and I was always taught to watch myself so that I wouldn't be accused of racism. For example, when I was nine I refused to shake a boy's hand in class, was kept after school and yelled at by my teachers for being "racist." The boy's parents were from India, and he did have darker skin, but at nine years old I didn't even notice that or know that he was of a different race! I just didn't like him.

There are a few other examples (in high school a teacher yelled at a black boy for misbehaving and he called her racist) where racism wasn't even a factor.

Granted racism exists everywhere, but for the most part I think if you were treated differently it would not be out of hatred, but out of fear of not being "politically correct."

Answer 5

Discrimination is the least of your worries, my brother. Stay away from white devils at all costs--your life depends upon it. Just last year 20,000 white male on black male rapes were reported in New York alone, though the media will not report these facts. If you must mingle with whites, though, keep in mind that they have subtle ways of alerting each other of the need for violence against you. If you hear a white man say, "Should we go get an ice cream cone?" to another white, that's code for "should we string this black man from the nearest tree?" You should be running by this point, but if you hear, "Yes, I think a vanilla ice cream cone would be spiffy," run for your life. It's better, though, just to stay away from them.

Answer 6

What is your version of discrimination?

If they are not burning down your house or burning crosses, defaming your car, or just any kind of physical destruction to you and your property, you should have no problems.

Dont think that they MAY or MAY not discriminate. Some people are just not going to like Blacks but so what.

You never heard the term: "F*CK EM" ?

Answer 7

probably. the more white people there are around the greater the chance that at least one of them is a bigot.

Same goes for a white person in a Black community.

Answer 8

Depends on the people and the area you're living in. I've lived in mostly white neighborhoods and the worst thing that's happened is maybe one or two rude stares.

Answer 9

probably. but i doubt as much as a white in a black community would have. think about that.

Answer 10

If you act like the stereotypical black, yes.

Answer 11

Sure you would. It would work the other way around as well. It's not going anywhere, anytime soon.

Ide fixx... that was funny, even if you didn't mean it to be.
