White People and Black People: Can we just get over it already?

Question

Yes we know white people (not all) are arrogant. Yes we know black people are angry. We got it. Okay. So why is it that we are all shocked and surprised when white people post stupid questions about black people based on an outdated stereotype and when black people complain about unequal treatment. As a black person you have to admit that you have it waaaaay better then your great grandmother did, and as a white person you have to accept and understand that things could be waaay better for minorities. And as PEOPLE we need to see that by pulling out eachothers hair kicking and screaming and what not we aren't going to get anywhere. So why don't we stop this whole "Whats better, black or white thing?" and try to hammer out the important issues facing us today (like say, Global Warming)

Answer 1

I am so over it already. Being racist is one of the stupidest, most ignorant ways to be. Racism is a mental disorder. I want to say that it is "retarded" to be racist, but I know retarded people, and they are not stupid or ignorant at all. They are smarter, more loving, and much more intelligent than racist people, who are cursed with a twisted misconception of reality.

ps: I am caucasian, but I am not white. . . I am more of a pinkish beige, with freckles. And "black" people aren't really black. . . they're a beautiful chocolate brown. Many of us pinkish beige people sit in the sun for days, trying to get a dark, beautiful, chocolate brown color.
go figure.

Answer 2

I'm not white or black but I will tell you what I see, Yes most white people are very arrogant and think their the king race (far from). I live in a black community and what I see is the blacks holding their selves down (not all). Black folks (trying to be nice about this) feel the need the world owes them something, in my opinion the world owes them nothing but a equal chance in the world. The more black folks complain about mistreatment the more their holding their selves back. I fired a black guy from my job not too long ago and I was accused of being a raciest. The man didn't keep up with the work load we gave him and spent most of his time on his cell phone or flirting with female co-workers. I gave him a chance for about a year and new employees were bypassing his workload by almost double. Does that make me raciest??? I think not. What I'm getting at is how are we going to change the arrogant white man if everything something doesn't go right for a black person their going to be called a raciest. I think what blacks folks need is to take life more serious. I know I'm sounding raciest by putting the blame on blacks but I'm not, but how can you change the arrogant white guy if blacks are keeping their selves slaves of the past. BTW.... Global Warming isn't real, try and find a real issue to make the world better.

Answer 3

both sides are wrong but when a black person gets shot by a white person automatically they have a rally or protest and make a huge thing out of it... but when a white person get's killed by a black person nobody says anything...no matter what happens to the black race they will always win b/c of their past and if it wasn't for white people making slavery, the black race wouldn't have soooo much leverage today...not to mention some black people also were for slavery...white people today are the new minorities...

Answer 4

Answer 5

I agree with you Morgan. :) I've also heard that some of the people who post racist remarks on here are looking to cause problems, work for Y/A, or are of the ethnicity they are making fun of. I don't know if it's true, but I do suspect that some of the people are trying to cause fights on here. Thanks for the post!

Answer 6

I think that many people have been trying to do that, but we will always have arrogant people who wnt to cause problems because they are selfish and either want some attention or want to make themselves feel better than someone else.

Answer 7

How refreshing, someone looking at the big picture and calling racism for what it is. Racism is completely colorblind, anything else is a pi

Answer 8

Blacks won't let it go.
They think the Race Card is their best play in most situations. It's a power issue. Many blacks don't want to be on the same playing field with everyone else in America.

Answer 9

Just like this question, as long as we keep the pot stirred,
don't be surprised if folks keep adding nasty spices and
helping themselves to the stew.

Answer 10

yes
