Last night, there was a group of African Americans outside of my apartment complex, it was 1 am and they were talking SO LOUD, I could not even sleep. Anyways, I was going to call the cops on them, but ended up letting it go. Today, when I woke up, I realized if it had been a group of white people doing the same thing, it would not have bothered me as much. I do not consider myself racist, but I was trying to logically explain to myself why that is.

At least you are telling the truth, so I guess I should to. If I were in your situation, I would have tried to call the police on BOTH races. I'm black, and no I'm not racist against my own race, but I have seen with my eyes what my ethnicity can do and I have seen what Caucasians are capable of as well.
I would have reacted the same way because I would be more worried about the black people causing damage to my property, but the with the white people I honestly would have been worried about if they planned on pushing me down the stairs when I got out of my apartment.
Each race has it's problems and I try to stay out of those problems. *u*

You may not be racist, but have some racist tendencies. At least you're aware of your thoughts and you have the power to change your thoughts. You do realize how absurd it was of you to not be bothered if it was whites. Next time it happens, instead of thinking "those blacks" are annoying me, change your thought to those guys are having a good time, no harm done. If you find that whomever it is, is disturbing you, then you can politely tell them that you're trying to sleep and would they be a little quieter. That way you focus on the real issue (the loud talking) rather than something completely different, such as the race of those being loud (which has nothing to do with it in the first place). Good luck & great job on being aware of racist thoughts. 2D

Be definite to provide LiGhTs the thumbs down she requested for. There is a tright and flawed technique to pass approximately discussing racism. It exists in all races, however best in a small % of each and every race (I wish that is real). When anyone steps onto the level and publically makes hateful feedback, assume anyone to lable them as a racist, considering that a few type of racism exists.

Hm, you're definitely not a full blown racist because you understand why you did what you did and are trying to fix this. You probably just have slight problem with Blacks that can be rectified with time. Also, this may have been ingrained from childhood; "White is right", "Blacks are loud", etc.

It's because you are a racist. But recognition is the first step to curing your hatred of Black peoples. Just try to figure out what it is you hate about the Black race. You might need counseling to get over it. It's amazing, these same white racists get reported over and over and they are still here, but a Black person says one thing and gets their account suspended.

How would you know that they are African American? Just because they are black doesn't mean they are from Africa, they can be from anywhere in the world. Referring to your problem, I hate all people that are loud.
