Why are people so racist against black people?

Question

And against mexicans?

Answer 1

Before I start this no I am not a racist or a biggot, my boyfriend is white and I am black, so don't call me one. It started with slavery. We were originally brought here to America to serve the lazy white people who couldn't do work on there own and in the process we were raped, physically abused, and put through torture and pain that not even the biggest biggot should go through. Then as the years go by white people did whatever they could do to make the black race look like the enemy. Taking their homes away, showing that all we do is rape and kill people other race, they would show movies where white men dressed in black face would attempt to rate young white female virgins. Then the media, everytime a black man rapes a white woman you hear about it, yet you hardly ever hear the cases when the white man rapes a black woman (and yes there are cases). And everyone always talks about how blacks commint crime and rape. How about all the white male slave owners that raped the black female slaves. How about all the slave traders, owners and KKK who killed blacks for no apparent reason? That's why people are racist against blacks, because from the start we were seen as the enemy and the whites thought our purpose in life was to serve them, and when we stopped serving them they got pissed off and tried to whatever they could do makes us seem like we were the enemy after all of the evil things that were done to us.

Answer 2

Ignorance and lack of perspective. Most racists judge a group of people based on limited or no exposure. Some people just choose to see and focus on the negative within a given group. It's mind boggling why a racist doesn't understand their are "bad apples" contained in all groups of people.

Answer 3

Sometimes it has to do with the upbringing and how parents teach their kids behavior or how their friends react. Media plays a large part in deciding a person's attitude toward a particular race. A number of factors can contribute towards racism. By the way I am biracial and I know how racism affects a person.

Answer 4

Why are they so racist to white people?

I kind of feel bad for the natives, Africans, and asians because they are made feel inferior all the time.

PS: Until 1970, Hispanics with mostly European blood (yes, this includes Spain) were considered white. If you do not believe me watch I Love Lucy and see who her husband is. Back then, Colored people could not be on TV.

Answer 5

Racist people are usually lonely and misplace their anger at people of color because they are taking all the girls that he can not get.

Answer 6

I wonder if Black people didn't exist who would be next in line for the racist

Answer 7

It works both ways... Everyone has some one they don't like, its time that people learn that we are all here and we will always be here and that if we don't learn to get along we will never have peace.

Answer 8

all races experience racism, not just blacks and Latinos. Racism as a whole is just extreme ignorance mixed with a longing for superiority. Some people are just bastards.

Answer 9

Jealousy. They want us to go away, but they can't stop talking about us! If we weren't here, who would they have to blame for crime and put down?

It's not like crime is just gonna go away if we do! These racists need to dream on.

Answer 10

Because all races are usually judged by the worst members. Why is anyone racist against any race?
