I've noticed that whites in America have a lot of issues with blacks here...Was there anything that blacks did to whites for them to dislike them? Why were there so many laws to keep them seperate? Why are whites in different countries accepting of blacks and treat them better?

Why were there so many laws in the past to keep black and whites seperate from each other? What did blacks do originally for there to be so much hate for them?

We, black people have not done anything to make whites hate us. I, personally think that they are afraid of us for other reasons. Look at our world. We tan, they don't, if given an opportunity to excel we do (sports). Remember when most sports were all white or mostly white. Perhaps they hate us because they wanted us to be submissive and enslaved again.

If you are born in the USA, then you are probably racist to a great extent. They provide negative images of blacks all the time. If it is done by blacks, it is bad, by whites, good. Ask any child five or six years old and even they can tell you that black is bad and white is good. Look at even something as simple as a ladder. The white figure is doing it the right way and the black one is doing it wrong!!!

The lighter skinned black is more accepted because they have finer features most of the time.
The darker skinned person is sometimes evenn shunned by his peers because of his complexttion.

The laws were not just to keep them separate but to make them feel inferior. If they felt inferior, they were right wher e the whites wanted them.

From my own personal standpoint, I used to be very racist. I had to keep myself in check and now I find that using the "N" word is very offensive (even when a black person uses it).

I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia and here we have a major mixture of different races due to the fact that we have the military.

It's true that there are white people who hate black people, however; it seems to be the exception here and not the rule.

As far as any laws goes, I'm not aware of any that keep them separate from whites. If there is, shame of politicians for passing such laws.

We are a land where equal opportunity is suppose to be for all. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

People who think the color of your skin makes you less of a person are very much less of a person themselves.

Their judgement is clouded and is just a reflection of the poor judgement that they reflect upon themselves.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but the traditional South was fearful of a slave uprising similar to the one performed by Toussaint Louverture in the Haitian Revolution. They were even going to go as far as free them and send them to the established state of Liberia in Africa. However, the Civil War broke out, going against the dictates of the Supreme Court and aggravating the leadership of the South, so the plan to send them to Liberia was lost. Then its all a matter of old hateful sentiments left over from the Civil War, in which the people in the South were forced to integrate, which as history has shown forcing someone to do something only makes them resistant to it. Then there are crime and poverty issues still prevailant today, which only fuels the hatred toward blacks.

What can ya do?

First, i do no longer think of that if white individuals fairly need united states of america to stay white, then it´s racism. Democracy, if I keep in mind properly, is the will of the human beings. splendid me if i'm incorrect. So, if the white individuals fairly need it - then this is the will of majority that the human beings elected by utilising this majority are oblliged to fulfil. 2nd, i do no longer know the place you picked up this unusual thought that Jewish group sell non-white immigration to Europe, Canada and usa. You for some years have been selecting governments that confessed multiculturalism and political correctness, and as a rely of actuality, it´s the rustic that imposed this idiocy onto the entire worldwide alongside with Israel. So, don´t positioned your blame on others. in addition to, even now whilst Britain, Germany, France brazenly declared that the multiculturalist sort has completely failed, united states of america is going on propagating this rotten fish.

Think about your question! Not just in America,but all countries where blacks are? There must be a reason for it!
I am from a country(not america) where there are mainly blacks and my race,and we live in morbid fear of blacks. You can't wear anything that even remotely looks like gold,they will just come up to you and take it away. They break into our houses at night ,just kick the door in and loot and sometimes rape!
My point is,it's where ever blacks are!

I think it is a matter of many people being sick and tired of the chip on the shoulder attitude displayed by both groups.
It seems one group feels they are owed something for mistakes made in the distant past by the other group, and simply refuse to let go of that past and live in the now. I know I am heartily sick of both attitudes, that something is owed is ridiculous, and that nothing wrong was ever done is equally distasteful. I think both groups need to get over themselves.

Are you sure your premise is true? For example, I've never heard whites in america making monkey noises at black athletes the way spanish soccer fans do.

I don't think they are. However, I think part of the reason they seem to be so is freedom of speech. In many european countries, you are not legally allowed to act like a nazi. You will get in trouble. Here you can say whatever you want. The U.S. has the largest (open)neo-nazi population because we allow it here.

I think you need to do some more study.

Can you cite even ONE "law" to keep us separate? Did you know that segregation ended 30 years ago?

There are about 300,000,000 people in the US, maybe you should use a criteria bigger than "I've noticed" if you are going to make a Broad statement calling us all racist.

Just a suggestion.

Peace!

It couldnt have anything to do with crime, the breaking down of public education in inner city schools, unkempt houses and property, lack of family values and societal disorder could it?
