Do most white people think there race can do no wrong or do they just have trouble admitting same?

Question

I'm asking because I posted a couple of questions I knew the answers to just to see the responses for my own personal because i've been disturbed by the racism on here coming from both sides.

What i've found is that questions that put whites in a negative light were either skated over or extremely evasive by the large majority of whites answering. Or people asked me what it mattered or whatnot. Yet, the question where blacks would be placed in a negative light were answered with a more forthcoming nature.

Do whites have a problem accepting the negative realities within their own race yet find it effortless to point the finger at others? If so, what are the implications of this mindset in the grand scale of things? Your opinions on this?

Correction-"there" is supposed to be "their" for all the grammer folks.

Thanks Elaine-Mind answering the question?

More evasive answers...lol. C'mon people. This is disturbing.

And of course, I wasn't saying ALL. The question was in reference to questions I posted. Feel free to check them out to get what I'm saying.

BTW-I'll be the first to acknowledge the violent subculture in the black community. Drug trafficking. Gang violence. Lack of concern for education. It's pretty obvious.

Elaine C- OK. But don't ever join a debate team, K?

I'm not generalizing, for the love of God. LOL. I asked a question. I didn't say ALL whites. Hell, I didn't even make an assertion. I asked a friggin question. Say no or yes, elaborate if you wish. Gawd!

This is another example of previous answers to my questions. No one wants to admit anything and you wonder why race relations are screwed. And FYI, I am probably the most eccentric black person you will meet. Don't assume i'm a racist. But carry on and look it over later if you want.

I'm over it. I got my answer. Thanks to all who replied.

FYI-I primarily white guys so i'm sure they'll be pretty pissed to know I am a "racist."

Wow, now I see how whites feel to be labeled racist for a friggin question! Astounding.

mamason-Seriously, calm down before you have a heart attack. I'm not a racist and am FULLY AWARE that not all whites are because I hang around mostly whites most of the time, K? Your irrational anger is scaring me. And FYI, every detail isn't necessarily directed to you. I see you don't feel comfortable about any questions that deal with race. So at least it's not just me.

The lady doth protest too much....

Damn. Am I talking about myself or mamason...lol. Maybe we're both racists.

Bles-Appreciate the candid answer. How about answering my other questions!

mamason-*pats you on the back* Good for you. And I know what myocardial infarction is, hun. Have you heard of sarcasm. You are too high strung. I don't know anything about you but if this is any indication, I suggest you write yourself a script for Valium or something. KIDDING! I can feel your anger brewing from here......

Don't matter what you think though, i'm not a racist. White people are cool with me.

And stop being so friggin paranoid. You're going to end up with a friggin med mal lawsuit worrying about this so deeply.....nobody hates you for being white...

Answer 1

The problem is not that whites are unable to see them selves in a negative light, it' that most others refuse to allow for them to be RIGHT anymore.

Ever since the 1970's, the whites have become the new oppressed people. (Note I didn't say MINORITY, I said simply opressed.) It has become common place to say that whites are terrible, whites are wrong, whites this and whites that. All based solely on the slavery constants of the 18th & 19th Centuries.

The result is that many people have a knee jerk reaction to such blatherings in that they come forward rather quickly and harshly. If we'd all just realize that there are good and bad people in ALL races and ALL colors, this world would be better off.

Answer 2

Sorry, had to go pick up my half Japanese children from school. I'm not angry though. Just enjoy banter back and forth.I'm trained to keep my cool. SO, don't worry about any mal-practice here. The area I live in has a lot of reverse racism going on. So, I can see how some of that might bleed through what I'm typing. And you're right , you don't know me. And if you did, we'd probably be friends. I think we as a country try to blame each other for our own misfortunes. I wish I had the answer to end racism. But, the only thing I can do about it is lead by example.Racism will always be an issue with all of us. I think the government and the media keep alive I still wouldn't want to live anywhere else though. Later!

Answer 3

You racist, you want to be on est, then I will tell you how it is. I am not going to play political correctness over reality, I DON'T LIKE BLACKS. They piss me off.

In fact I do understand why they try and blame there past on whites. It is because they did not have the capacity to even put language into writing. White people where doing blacks a favor by sending them into America. They where being killed brutally by tribal wars. This is clearly the case when you study black population growth in Africa over the last 300 years.

If your an American black, and you ***** and mone the whole time why don't you go to Zimbabwe and live the black democratic dream??? I have been there.

Blacks don't have a written history of there own, so naturally what they now is what white people told them. I am not an American, but if I was I would not put up with them, I would ship them back to Africa, so that they can scramble for some chicken bones white people throw them!

Answer 4

I believe greater than white or Asian it is the character that issues so much. There are very well, lovely Asian ladies as good as white ladies. Culutre can simplest play a minor function within the character's man or woman is that character is aware of ethical values ordinarily. I aslo had a dating with a man who's a foreigner however determined it uncomfortable becaue they're introduced up in another atmosphere. Anyway I believe it is higher to recognition at the lady's characteristics than at the dermis color. I have discovered this the tough manner.

Answer 5

It's clearly an over-generalization especially since you used 1 or 2 examples. Clearly, whatever the race the person is they would of course have more of a negative reaction to things designating their race. It's human nature, just as it is to want to feel part of a group that excludes others. Wrongs are commit ed by people not a race, let's clarify that. In the future learn that by generalizing on such a broad scale pretty much cancels your argument out on it's own.

Answer 6

In my opinion, whites realize that they are not perfect and except that fact. I don't know why, but other races don't seem to like to admit fault. I've had Mexicans tell my that "all mexicans steal. It's just a fact of life. And there's nothing wrong with it." These are not my words, mind you. This is an exact quote. I've had blacks tell my that, "All blacks are prejudice". There are bad and good people in every race. You just haven't gotten any whites with a chip on their shoulder that they felt they needed to defend.

Answer 7

i just answered ur question like 5 mins ago...

to answer this one...no i dont think whites have a problem accepting the negative realities of our own race...well at least i dont...white ppl do a lot of harm as well, just as any other race...but the most CRIME that i see in my state are from blacks...

i used to work at a restaurant for about 5 yrs as a cashier and the most attitudes i have gotten were from black ppl, most women...i have almost gone outside twice with 2 different black girls cuz we have gotten into serious arguements...about 80% of black ppl that walked one step in the door would have a CELL phone glued to their ear!!! i would take their order and they would still have it to their ear, they would literally WHISPER their order to me and then continue on their convo. they were having on the phone, which was about 'wut u been doin last night'

i will admit that i have had a lot of white ppl rude as well, i have had tons of rude ppl cuz thats how it is in that buisness, but in that part of town and that being the restaurant sold 'chicken wings' th majority who came in the place were blacks and they can be the most obnoxious ppl out there with no respect...

i can tell that you are black and by the way you are asking on ur questions you seem to be smart and not what you call 'ghetto' i am not racist by any means, becuz there are many black ppl that i love to death and can crack me up all day, so plz dont consider me as a white girl who just hates all blacks...i was just telling my experience with black ppl cuz this is the topic that we are on now...

Answer 8

There are no negative realities within the "white race" that you seem to think there are. Why should we accept something that doesn't exist. White people are people just like anyone else.

White people from Germany are different from white people from Cuba (i.e. my fiancee), different from white people from France, the U.S. west coast, east coast, south, etc.

It's the same thing about other races. While I despise hip hop culture, I acknowledge that not all blacks are into that whole thing. Furthermore, other races are also into that crap, whites, hispanics, etc.

Anyone that commits a wrong doesn't say anything about that race. People seem to think that most whites are child molesters, just because most child molesters are white. This is a logical fallacy. The same goes with any other race.

Answer 9

The truth is that it can be said for any race. Yes, all races make mistakes and over step themselves. I think it is more of can the individual admit their short comings and faults instead of can a race do the same.

I live in the south, down here all I here is how "my race" is at fault for the degredation of human kind!! I can not help what was done before me. What I can help is how I act to those around me.

Answer 10

I don't know exactly what you're talking about. I'm white and I never agree with racist remarks. It does upset me when ANYBODY calls another group bad things 'cause of their race. I've seen a Korean racist on here, quite a few white racists, and an African racist.
