They have created a "counter culture" which goes against pretty much eveything in todays society. I wasnt trained or taught to hate blacks by whites.......I was trained and taught by blacks.

I agree with you, this is the hard truth and many people will deny it.
I personally do not know why black culture has gotten like this, it could be to seperate ourselves from other groups or who knows. All I know is we better snap out of it, if we don't then we are in for a rudER awakening.

Yes, but this black culture is a mainstream concept.
Don't you also see that young white people have created a counter culture that goes against good values. Idolizing celebrities, low sexual morals, promiscuity over relationships etc.
These counter cultures are mainstream concepts that are not representative of these groups as a whole. And your examples in particular are really horrible examples.
Young kids were baggy pants....young black white Latino whatever.
College kids listen to loud music at 3am
Get it?
Not to mention the fact that rap music is frequented by young teenage white boys as it's number one audience.
Stop using this intangible black community as a scapegoat.

Huh? I'm not a fan of hip hop culture. It's hedonistic and filthy but I won't equate this with 'black culture'. I lived on the south side of Chicago and there's a lot of great black culture that happens there that is very uplifting, rich, and, unfortunately, under the radar.

You're right..Why is it not realized that the black "community" is everything they complain about being accused of?I won't even make alist because we all know.
I went to an interveiw yesterday and there was another black girl there.She spoke with a muddled Southern accent(I call it slave talk),even though she was born and raised here.She cheezed and laughed at everything.Her outfit and purse were "crunk",but it was clear she wasn't well educated...Or was this behavior her way of staying true to her "blackness"?

I used to try to understand blacks when I was younger - but as I grew, I realized that they hated me for my normal looks and behaviour, for who I was - that nothing I could do or say could make them change their opinions.
Much of (at least) popular African-American "culture" seems to focus on being merely "anti-white" - they seem to be willing to even do things which are detrimental to themselves - as long as the white man isn't doing it. For example, the many black youth who don't care about education, thinking it a "white" thing.
Many people here think I lack an education or that I'm some kind of inbreeding product for thinking that - but really, how can you blame someone if they're experienced nothing but NEGATIVITY AND HATE from virtually every black they have come across in their life?

The question you have to ask yourself is, what have they done to you so far? If they haven't hurt you, or beat you up, then maybe it's better to see them through a different light. Not all blacks are what you see today... Ask yourself, which white groups countered society? Think rock and roll...

Oh, they realize. But every generation has its adolescent rebellion. The only difference is today, the main "style setters" are black more often than white. Then we get questions like "Why do whites go around imitating blacks?" Answer: you have succeeded in becoming trend-setters. Congratulations.

You are right.
I think finally Bill Cosby, Barak Obama and other prominent African-Americans are beginning to speak publicly about these issues.
I pray they are not too late to make a difference.

You're an idiot. Black community? Black people don't all live in the same place and we don't all do the same exact thing. Saying we all have done something is just stupid.
