I ask this question, because i still fee that whites have this superiority complex thing still going on. Do you honestly feel that you are better than other races particularly minorites and blacks. Do you feel that there is a sense of entitlement for just being white. Do you think that other races treat you different because you are white?
I really want honest, intellectual answers...please

inferiority is not what i am suffering from. Being black in America you are always second guessed and everything that you do, you have to think twice. Intimidation is what runs throgh the minds of most blacks, mainly black men, because they know that for the same action they will suffer twice for the same consequence

Last time I checked, non-white people had the racial supremacy thing going on more than white people.

Seetheworld, you are an idiot and the more you open your stupid mouth the more you prove to the world what kind of racist idiot you really are.
Despite what Seetheworld says, not all white people have a superior complex. How can I feel good about myself much less actually feel that I'm better than everyone else considering the fact that I'm a disabled white male who at the age of 37 is unemployed, been unemployed for months and unable to find work, broke, and is stuck living at home with my parents? "Entitlement for being white", lol. I met respectable people of all races and I will do anything for them but I have also met trashy people of all races, too. I don't want to be treated different but do only thing that I ask is "Don't blame me for all the social woes that all other races go through because chances are there is a white just down the road that is experiencing the very same thing." I'm one of them.

I don't have any characteristics based on my race that I think make me better than anyone of a different race. I don't constantly have a pity-party for myself over how the world treats me based on my statistical demographics. Maybe if you concentrated more on being a good person rather than some perceived disadvantage you have based on your skin color, you would find better energy coming your way. Thoughts become things, like attracts like.

Not where I"m from. Where I live we have very successful people that are black and white and other races. And we have the blacks and whites and other races that are bums. Its all about the work you do and how you act. You can have a classy black woman but then have "white trash" so its everywhere. I feel just be the best you that you can be and that will be acceptable.

The only thing that could make me superior to anyone of any color ( whites included), would be my intelligents, and sense of morality. It's not the color of someones skin the makes a person inferior, it's their actions. I've been in the position of hiring, and firing people. My decisions where based on how that person presented them-self, and how they preformed their job.

Who said I thought I was better than other ethnicities? Nobody can be superior just because of their race. And I don't agree with Elizabeth not everyone from a single race is racist.

It's not that anyone else has a superiority complex, you just have an inferiority complex and placing blame for your feelings of inadequacy on whites. You do this because you have issues, because you are bigoted, because you are a racist. Once you get over your issues of hate towards others, you will lose your feelings of being inferior to others.

Honestly, I always felt INFERIOR for being white all through high school, because where I went to school the Philippinos ruled the school, as did the Mexicans. I was one of the few white people, and being tall with red hair did not help. I even wore brown contacts and tanned every summer to look more "normal" (like everyone else but of course it didn't make much difference!) So I don't really get your question because being white was never an advantage for me.
When I was struggling to get into the Univ of California, my English teacher (who was Black) said "If you're Black or Mexican I can get you into any UC school with a 1.0 GPA." I had a 3.3 GPA and I almost didn't make it. I thought it was so unfair, especially considering the "minorities" I went to school with were middle class just like I was, so why should they get into a college and I couldn't get in because I was white??
Also, my cousin who is a genius with a 4.0 through UC Berkeley (Excellent college!!) was openly refused from several medical schools because they told her they were only accepting non whites and non asians because their small quota for whites & asians was already full. What kind of unfair crap is that??? She had to go to a medical school far down on her list because she was white too.... it's B.S.

I am inferior to no man -- nor superior to any, God made us equally, there are qualities in all of us that make us each more gifted or opportunity has made some much educated. Superiority is something that is manmade.

Obviously u dont live in Australia.
If you are black you get free entry to courses you get paid more off the government and you pretty much get everything handed to you. Im aboriginal (Black) and i was accepted into courses over smarter ppl coz im black. I personally think it is wrong nobody deserves to b treated any different than anyone else coz of the colour of their skin

At least I don't have a chip on my shoulder as big as texas and go around starting divisive threads. Sounds like you have issues.
