Your false accusation (presented in the
form of a "question") is filled with nothing
more than offensive and broadbrushed
stereotypes and reeks of utter racism.
IF, however, there is any chance that you actually
have any 'sincere' interest in this group, perhaps the
information found in these links would be of help to you:

That question can be turned around and asked the other way too! It is a fair question either way. It's not at the top of many peoples concerns in my opinion.
However it seems that most of the time when I try do do something, even little somethings...it seems a conspiracy is against me. Everything from getting a haircut to standing in line at a fast food joint...it seems crazy. I feel like Chevy Chase on one of his dumb movies at times. If someone had been telling me it was because I had green eyes....if several people told me that people were plotting against me because I have green eyes....there has been MANY days (and weeks) that I certainly would have believed it. I personally have no problem understanding why someone would believe that. Of course there's members of different races THAT DO INTENTIONALLY cause problems for members of other races...and some folks simply cause problems for everyone around them. It would be very easy to convince me of a conspiracy against me! If you want to really feel conspired against (any race)...start trading penny stocks!

i don't think that its that they think we are still out to get them. i believe that they see the bad things from the past and don't want them to occur again and want justice from the wrongs done previously. however, i understand that but i don't understand why things such as slavery and segregation are still big issues today. i know it is an important part of our past that we should learn, but it happened so long ago and things have come so far since then. and yet every day you hear people claiming racism for things done wrong to them but technically its not a one way thing. i think we should just let the past be the past and move forward in the future and try to make things better now and quit dwelling on things from so long ago because there's nothing we can do about them now except learn from them and move on.

Can you say the word 'stereotype'? I'm African American, and I don't think Caucasians are out to get me.
It's amazing how many stereotypical viewpoints I read here all the time. You can't take an entire race of people and throw them in a box, then slap a label on them. People are all different.
Luckily for us, KIM, nobody asked you. You're narrow-minded too.

"Out to get?" No, it is a lack of trust. We do not trust Caucasians. We do not think that Caucasians actually hold the power to "get" us. We just sometimes have a hard time believing what is said. No offense given.

Every other race thinks that about caucasians, because the real prejudice is too deep to ever change.

Historically there's just a general distrust of white people by black people. It comes from knowing what the white race is capable of doing when it comes with being the majority of the ruling class in a society. The nature of a people can be observed by noting what they have done throughout history and what their predominant inventions are. Bio and chemical warfare were first committed by the white race. Although the Chinese invented gun powder, it took the white race to find a way to utilize that as a weapon for the taking of lives. The gun, the bomb, the atom bomb, these all are inventions of the white race. Even so called weapons of mass destruction, they came from the white race. History has shown that when it comes to first encounters with the white race, it doesn't pay to be trusting.

Same reason Caucasians think Black people are out to get them!

Maybe they think history will repeat itself someday, they are still insecure is my guess. We all need to move on. We have bigger fish to fry now.

Why do caucasians still want them? Could it be that they fear them?
