White people are a damn trip. They will quote bible versues and tell you to accept people for who they are, or they want you to believe that "they" are not the one's responsible for the hatered of what their ancesotrs did, but even still today they are playing with fire with some of their idiotic pranks.
Dont white people know that they have to pay for what their ancesotors, just like everyone else. Even today blacks are still psycologically and econmically facing the same challenges of their ancestors. White people have to understand that the legacies and financial prosperity that was acquired by their forefather; they are reaping the benefits today and this legacy has given them a head start over blacks. Black have made strides in education, but what if we had the old money that was left from slavery and handed down throught generation, i know for sure that we would not have any complaints and we would probably be singing the same song as you white people.

No rational person expects anyone to turn their cheek to racism.
Let go of that boot, and it will fall away from your neck.
The only things holding the questioner back are his own preconceived ideas.

White people? As in Caucasian? Hmmm. Funny I thought that racism existed with ALL races. The Israeli's vs. Palestinians? Japanese vs. Chinese? North Korea vs. South Korea?
Although I am "white," I am a 20 year old woman and feel that I should not be punished for things that other people did in the past regarding racism. I am only responsible for myself. If I wanted to play scapegoat I could be angry at all Christian's for burning a countless number of people believed to be witches. And that's just the witch trials! What about all the other millions of innocent people slayed in the name of the Christian God?
I'm sorry you have experienced racism, and at one point everyone has or will experience some sort of discrimination. But, I don't think you should become racist against all Caucasians because of events in the past that most people living today did not participate in.
A "white" woman at my job was getting home from work and was surrounded by 7 "black" men who beat her with landscaping rocks so they could take her serving book A whopping 45$. They were never caught, and she was hospitalized for four months with a broken jaw, nose, and collar bone. She was released last week to come back to work serving and she still has stitches under her jaw and her face is permanently disfigured. She decided to go back to work as a server...although what happened to her was traumatic she did not become racist.
Maybe you could look to someone as strong as her.
Love and light
Blessed Be.

You're reaping the benefits of your ancestors hard work as well.
Your free! And now you have the opportunity to run for State Governor or The U.S Presidency.
Pray, practice regular charity and do good works:)
Work for your money and The Merciful God of All things will bless you with more Material Wealth & Spiritual prosperity than you could ever imagine. This life is only temporary and so is the materials that come with it.
The hereafter is Forever(including all of the wishes that you ask of God) but you must read his revelations, believe in him, his angels, his prophets, do good works and fear the day of requital.

Look at the one's that still own all that land and cry to them but i ain't never own no slave or my family and u put this on the entire race.

No one should pay for what their ancestors did. Only kinds of white people I have a problem with are the racist and prejudiced ones. But I also have a problem with racist and prejudiced blacks,hispanics and asians. racism works all ways man so don't generalize white people
p.s. most whites are descended from whites who came to this country after slavery ended

zz, white people didn't invent racism. People have been aware of race since ancient times, and used to refer to one another as "he's of that race" or "he's one of your race". It's only a guy named Leon Trotsky who invented the idea that being racially aware is a bad thing called "racism". People have always had a tendency to hang out with people who are most like themselves (language, customs, culture, appearance) and exclude in many ways people who are different. It's human nature.
As for whites having more money than blacks (I assume you're referring to the United States?) It's true that wealth has a tendency to accumulate in one social strata versus another, but money is not the only factor. It's an important factor, but it's far from the only thing that gets people of any race from getting into college.
I'm white and I'm not wealthy. I was not born into money. I grew up in a poor family in a little farming town in Kansas. I went to college by joining the Marine Corps., then going to community college, and then taking out some modest loans to go to State college. I did it. I became a high-school teacher, and now I own my own business. It's tough to climb that ladder from "poor" to "low-middle-class", but I did it.
Blacks have a tough row to hoe right now. You've got a street culture that does NOT encourage education or self-discipline. It glorifies easy money and demeaning women and violence. It's tough to rise above all that and make something of yourself. The opportunites are out there, though. I know blacks who've succeeded.

1) Not all "white people" spout bible verses, but thank you for that generalization and slightly racist remark.
2) Blacks are not the only discriminated against race, many whites are discriminated against too.
3) No I do not believe that all white people should be suffering for what there ancestors did in the past since they had nothing to do with.
4) Blacks do not face the same challenges as they did back then. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure slavery has been abolished in all the states now.
Im not racist, but I do believe that your statement is a claim with no evidence.

wait a minute who's racist? check out your wording, what if i said "black people are a d*mn trip"... man, my question would have been deleted. Now I must give you some facts....
1) I am psychologically facing challenges because of people like you who believe I am somehow inherently evil because of people who, in my case, weren't even my ancestors (my grandparents immigrated here from Poland)
2) I am an atheist, and I don't quote Bible verses.
3) Even if some white people inherit slave money and even if black people are psychollogically and financially facing challenges (not the same as their ancestors you f*cking moron), I did NOT start racism, I am not inherently racist, I am not inherently evil. And you need to stop referring to a whole race of people "as you white people"....
you are a HYPOCRITE

People who think the way you do doom themselves...no one owes anyone anything. Stop looking for a free lunch and get to work improving yourself. You have a quite false sense of entitlement...the only thing you or anyone else is entitled to in this world is what you earn yourself by working.
The more time you spend being resentful and daydreaming about all the money you think you deserve, the less time you have to make something of yourself and your life...

Seems like we have someone with a lot of hatred here people, and you know what hatred leads to...racism.
Remember: racism is not just a "white thing" its a "race thing". You get it everywhere even within a race.
