Why do white people? think that every black so called leader speaks for every black person, why do whites think all black people listen to loud hip hop? why do white people think all black people are on welfare? why do white people think all black people have baggy pants on? why do white people think all black people support o.j. and michael vick? why do white people think?

Because they don't accept people who are not like them and they rather learn about people through the media and tv without actually trying to get a first hand understanding, except when they are on vacation .

I am not sure what the white people you know are like. But not all of us think that way. In fact I know very few white people that think that way. I guess every cultural and race has its stereotypes.

Because there parents or some other racist source of great influence in their life tell them these things and they believe it. White people think because they got brains though. This was a pretty good question.

Only truly ignorant people of any race think every single black person is like that. Just like there's people who think every white person is racist, rich, blue eyed, snobby, culture-less, weak but fail to see the individuals. Just like there's people who think every hispanic person is dark skinned, doesn't speak english, immigrant, illegal, or dumb. Just like there's people who think every asian has an accent, good in math and science, and knows martial arts. Its all just ignorance my friend. You can owe that to every race.

I guess some generalizations are more valid than others.
BTW, you forgot to mention the "Jena 6."

Why did "Michael d." get three thumbs down for pointing out a valid point but "get a rope" only has one thumbs down for saying something racist, makes you wonder.
