Why do people hate black people?

Question

We have the same everything.

Answer 1

I don't get it either, but I don't think people hate people with brown skin? I just think that's a strong word. They are racist, and it bugs me so bad. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Answer 2

Its not that white people hate blacks it is that they stereotype them as gangsters in Detroit. People do not see the blacks who are saving people in hospitals all over the U.S. Instead they are frightened by the few amount of the population who are hurting others and doing drugs. But what those people do not see is that a lot of the whites population is much Like that also. But have you ever had a teacher who you were afraid of but you told everyone you hated him/her? Well that is what it is like for many ignorant whites. Because if they really hated blacks then most of the movie sales would be way down. Hope this helps!!

Answer 3

This may sound odd, but I think of people like apples. If you take a red apple, a green apple, and a yellow apple, they all look different. I f you go and peel the skin off of all three, you can't tell which is which. we live in a world where you get judged by appearance and what is on the outside, so when many people first meet a person, the first thing they think is "s/he's black" not "s/he has a nice personality" it is one of the reasons i am disgusted by the human race and am ashamed to be a part of it.

Answer 4

What up,

Actually that's not true worldwide Koreans and Japanese hate each other they used to fight all the time in ancient days.

South Korea and North Korea are basically a bunch of family members fighting like our civil war. Russians were slaughtering by the thousands the Croatian people. Irish and English. It is easier mind you for a South Afrikaner to hate a black person because he is to lazy to look at the person instead of the color.

Cain killed his brother so I am not surprised he will be racist against him too.

May the lord Jesus be praised!


Mark Twain said: Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Answer 5

Well, I am white but I don't hate black people. I try not to judge anybody or jump to conclusions about them. I have been around people who are not like that though. I will tell you this though, when the movie Norbit came out, I NEVER assumed that all heavy black women were domineering, although a black lady on t.v. said that the white population were buying into that stereo type. I must say I was confused by that. Anyway, hope you don't mind my answer.

Answer 6

racists are ignorant. i think some popular black celebrities (mainly rappers) have this negative image, and for those who are not in a diverse population, will generalize about all blacks as being druggies and pimps. after all, thats what a lot of the rappers talk about. however, they are never actually exposed to blacks outside of the entertainment industry, ultimately distorting their view of the entire race. i have lived in diverse areas and have encountered a great number of nice, decent, professional black people.

edit:
at the same time there are very good black role models such as oprah winfrey, and tyra banks...but for some reason they are overlooked.

Answer 7

Why do people hate? Regardless of sex, race, religion. People hate because you're poor or rich. They hate because they're not in the popular group at school. They hate because someone doesn't follow a trend or like sports or reads too much as has a better boyfriend/girlfriend. They hate because you're not political or religious. Because you're a democrat or republican. Because you are catholic and not mormon. Hate has so many categories.
My brother hates me because I am not competitive. The Christians next door hate us because we don't go to church and shove religion down the throats of our children. Our relatives hate us because we don't beg and borrow, we choose to be independent.
Hate has a very long reach. It always will.

Answer 8

I have a feeling you through this question in here because anywhere else on Yahoo answers you would have had hundreds of racist abusive "answers" thrown at you.

Please DONT generalize a question such as this one. You could have posted "why do SOME people hate black people?" The way you have worded it is a generalization and a FALSE one.

You may not like my answer, but I am not being racist, this is what I have seen, children I have worked with, parents I have counseled and this is a situation that NEEDS to change.

I believe people are all created equal and its up to us to do the best we can with our lives.

Racial prejudice arises out of a number of things, ignorance, fear, learned behavior and observation. On BOTH sides, white people arent the only racists in this world.

I am not a racist but I do want to say that often racial stereotypes arise from the number of young people dropping out of school, refusing to get an education, the numbers of unemployed etc. The demographic statistics unfortunately do support the argument and belief that certain races choose to be disadvantged.

I believe its critical that the reason for this be examined and that we ALL do our best to change that.

Racism works BOTH ways, many many visiable minorities have been raised to believe there is no point in trying to succeed because "whitey" is going to keep you ground down, and they teach their own children this as well.

I think its tragic that parents brainwash their children into seeing themselves as inferior, and instead of teaching them to do their best, teach them to not even bother trying.

I cant understand a parent who delivers the message to a young innocent, curious mind "You dont count, you are valueless .. because ......"

If visible minorities can get past their own attitudes and teach their children to reach for the stars, then I think we will see a huge change in attitudes. It has to come from inside your community, it isnt a message anyone else can deliver.

In Canada it is my belief that in providing everything for racial minorities, housing, financial assistance, etc and not encouraging them to become educated and employed, our Government is in fact taking a Patriarchial role and treating these minorities as children, incapable of working and succeeding.

Its a bad bad system, and its creating a lot of racial hate and resentment.

I also believe Hip Hop has created a very negative and hostile atmosphere and belief system for both sides of the racial "question". What kind of message are these idiots delivering to young black people, especially young women, and to the "white" community? Its not a positive image of the black culture, which is why people like Oprah want the people spreading this garbage to be accountable for the damage they are doing.

This is my opinion and I cannot count the number of times I have been called a racist for saying "people of all races should be treated equally, stop the Patriarchial "generousity of the Government, empower ALL people to be successful and contributing members of society." Is it racist to want minorities to enter the workplace, succeed, raise tomorrows leaders? I dont think so.

Those who say it is, are IMO, those who believe that racial minorities are genetically inferior and disadvantaged, cant be successful and the "superior" white race has a moral obligation to support them and "take care of them".

What an insult to people who arent "white".

At the same time our Government and society is refusing to see how many white people are also problems in our society, how many are also in need. Racism in Government.

Its a very complex issue and short of making everyone wear blindfolds I think it is going to take several more generations before, we hopefully, begin to see the eradication of racism, generalizations and stereotypes.

Answer 9

I don't hate black people and what is this doing the the people with disabilities section?

Answer 10

Is "people with disabilites" the appropriate forum in which to ask this question? Do you think black people have disabilites?

People hate blacks for the same reason they hate Jews. They are different.
