Not white people in general are racist... I'm white, my best friend is hispanic, and I have at least 10 black friends.. There are racist people in every race on the earth. It's not what black people do, because saying that would be giving a stereotype to the black race.... There are good whites, bad whites, good and bad of every race...

For the same reason some black people hold racist views of white people. Ignorance prevails and has done so for a long, long time.
It looks like we're starting to evolve beyond it, though. Let's hope that continues.

And why some black people are still racist against whites? All of us are racist in a way or another. And not only color, could be any thing. And do you noticed that black people are killing each other because of difference in tribes? How do you call that?

IF you take a white and a black,blindfold womeone and ask him to identify which is black and which is white.I dont think anyone can do that.actually there is no difference other than the colour.I think its better to do something to stop this colour matter than criticising people.Everyone born in the same way.Nobody had born from any otherway than from mothers.In asian countries there are black and white people but they never fight.

Really I think it not just blacks its everybody, I mean just look at it from the this point of view some whites are raciest against their own kind, and then there are some black that raciest against white, and then you have a totally different cultural like white against Mexicans, they just don't want us here. But anyways you have all sorts of people and we are all different, there are some good white, black, other and then your some bad @ss people who are white, black and other, we just have to learn to live with each other and ignore any bad comment or action to be able to live in peace. so just put some butter and let it slide off.

Racism used to be a result of stupidity and in many cases it still is but now that society is more educated and we are aware that skin color does not indicate civility vs. savagery I would say that racism is a cop out for angry whites who are subconsciously unfulfilled with themselves and need to place derision upon another "group" of people.

It's a vicous cycle and it's much more complex thanwhites being racist towards blacks, nowadays, blacks can be equally racists towards whites and Mexicans cn be racist towards blacks and vice versa. No one owns racism and we're all victims.

In reality many whites fear the blackman. Not physically but sociologically. Even thou whites try to search percentages, stats and many other forms to make the black inferior to whites, they realize that blacks are just as capable or more capable in some ways than they are. For many years the black man was considered less than human, but yet after the slaves were freed many plantations failed, many of the high and mighty Slave Owners became no more than sharecroppers. For years the black man was told that they did not have the brain capacity to be pilots, but the Tuskegee airman proved that theory to be bull. By recording more successful air raids, a higher survival rate, and higher kill rate, than many of the so call ace flyers that happened to be white.Every year black Univ are sending out Lawyers, Doctors, engineers, theses fields were once white only.
The white man is beginning to realize that they are only figure heads in today's society, not really awing anyone. Many want to think that blks are just criminals and users, but in fact many black American old successful positions in major companies across the country. Of Course the media is not going to display this, but read between the lines.

because no matter what there will always be racism everywhere
not just here in the states.
because people will feel inferior or threatened by other race and will try to suppress this by reassuring them that they are inferior
when in reality all the people are the same , there's just different colors and cultures.
