Answer 1

Yeah, i see alot of it. There are a lot of Posers pretending to be black and they say somethin stupid about white people. People will come in and start slammin' black people, not all, but alot. For anybody that reads my comment, don't tell me that they are the few, because that few is a lot, i know what i see on here. Not all say somethin negative back. I know i say negatives back, i'm just being honest, but i don't say it just to be saying it, what i say is what i've seen.

Answer 2

Why laugh it off? If someone says something offensive you put them in their place. People some times need to know what they did was wrong.I think Black people have been silent too long.We need to have our voices heard.If you want to be racist well I can be too. Don't forget It is only in North America and Europe Blacks feel racism. White People cause all this racist **** to begin with so Why should we not reply with a remark. I believe whether we laugh it off or stay silent it will not change the way they feel about us. We are in 2007 and still racist White's are out there acting racist. I do believe to keep you sane and to be the better women or man it is just better to walk away.Why should you waste your time on people that will be racist until the day they die? Live your life F@@K all RACIST PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

I know what you're talking about. I hate when people do that, it just shows their own ignorance. I also get mad when a non-American person makes an ignorant comment about Americans and then American answerers come back with a negative comments about that person's country. We live in the age of reason and intelligence. It's time to stop with the racism and stereotypes. The ignorant and childish will always be out there though, I'm afraid. I would never make a comment generalizing about any ethnicity or nationality.

Answer 4

I tend to ignore them. I can't stand people that are racist or sexist. I have three mixed babies and one on the way and I live in a small community and I was approached by a white woman who asked if this one was by a white guy. I looked at her and said that all of them are by my husband and if she could put her nosy *** back where it belongs and leave my business alone. Needless to say she turned around and walked off.

Answer 5

Depends. If they're joking I'll joke with them because racial, not racist, humor can be good to get feelings out in an insensitive way so people can think about stereotypes without getting all defensive and upset. But if someones being downright racist I'll ignore them because they need to be alienated and shunned by society.

Answer 6

No. I count to ten and remember that although most of the world won't admit it, we are the same on the inside. Color, culture and community may make us different and divide us. Our experiences make us different. Our differences were meant to unite us, not cause us to feel fear and hatred. So, I try to relate to the asker. If they hated me SO much, they wouldn't take the time to reach out over the Internet and ask me, "Why do black people ALWAYS________?" (fill in the blank... put grease in their hair, use food stamps, steal money, get high... whatever ignorance is the theme of that particular day. ).So I reach back toward them with love and understanding.

Answer 7

Not racists like the "N" word... But usually I'll make some kind of comment... LIke this one broad was saying that she hated whites, white people suck because they become serial killers, and that white people smelled like wet dogs. I told her she was right.. Whites may be serial killers but blacks sure do like to rob liquor stores, and that they smelled like sausage. I don't believe these things, most black people I know smell very nice, lol. I was TRYING to show her how rude it is to make generalizations about a race, especially when it can be thrown back in your face. But, omg, did I get some nasty emails for those comments!!

Answer 8

I try to not answer if it is degrading to somebody just becasue of race. In my opinion everybody is the same regardless of skin color. But there are alot of people out there that disagree with me. Most of the time I wont answer the question but I will thumbs up on the ones against such questions. I dont laugh at how "ignorant" they are because it is really sad that they judge people on anything like that.

Answer 9

Sometimes I respond to them, of course.
But I do NOT respond to them with more racism.
For a person to do so makes them no better than the idiots posting the racist questions.

Answer 10

I used to reply to them with a softer tone. But in return I received so many violation notices from Yahoo. Instead of deleting their so called questions, Yahoo punished me. So now I am using a different tactic: in my response I talk about irrelevant things.
