Physical and mental abilities??? Different? I don't think so.
The best rapper is a white guy; the best golfer is black and Asian, the tallest basketball player is Chinese.
The industrial revolution would have come to a smoking, grinding halt without Elijah McCoy. Have you ever read up on Dr. G.W. Carver?
And white people can dance, believe it or not.
Maybe different races think differently, but that is a cultural thing, and has nothing to do with IQ.
So maybe us white people all do look aike, but we are pretty good at telling each other apart.

I think I'm different physically and mentally. Not just with black people but with everyone. Sometimes it takes people too long to figure this out!

Different physically because of the preponderance of a certain phenotypes that arose out of continental Europe and Africa. Different mentally? Perhaps in cultural practices/beliefs, but I not in intelligence and cognitive abilities.

They are the same.
If a white person grows up in the same neighborhood as a black person, they go to the same schools, their parents work similiar jobs, etc. then they will have the same culture, the only difference is the tone of the skin.
If you take two white people that grew up in different cultures they will be different, even though their skin tone is the same.

I live in a primarily black neighborhood, but I was raised in majority white neighborhoods. Black people don't speak English very well. They have difficulty conjugating verbs, in particular the verb "to be". Also they litter more, drive in the dark without their headlights turned on more often, park in the way of others more, and tend to be louder sometimes. I guess they are often trying to assert themselves in less than flattering ways. I know that they aren't all like that, but these are some of the differences I've experienced in black neighborhoods. I need to move soon!

Of course, and the people within each race itself is different. Consider gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, economic class, level of education, age, physical appearance (like complexion, hair color/texture, disability, eye color, height, weight, etc.)
EVERYONE is different.

At the core no,especially african americans and white americans when i was in the US I was amazed by how alike and 'american' they were.I suppose they've been togther there for so long they've become one another.
In Africa where ive spent alot of time most africans especially in tradtional areas are very very reserved [I felt really out of place],whereas in the US africans are very american [loud,jovial,positive,upbeat] .
its culture not colour that marks difference.
I've lived in every type of society high and low ,when I moved to a lower class white neighbourhood temporarily I was'nt able to communicate with anyone,didnt understand anything that was said [hardcore australian slurred accent],was stunned by the amount of pregnant 15 years old everywhere I looked,was unable to get anything other than fast food,everyone in the area was unemployed,constant drunk people on the public transportation.Even though I grew up in a white neighbourhood I was lost there.So you see how much of it is culture.Especially in Australia where there are huge numbers of poor anglo-saxons.

I think people are different from other people. One thing we all have in common is that we're all created equal, but alas, not everyone thinks so.

As a rule (stereotype) yes... Generally white people are thought of as submissive, quiet, shy, etc., just as black people are thought of as loud, boisterous, etc. We all KNOW neither of these cultures are like this, but as a rule, this is what we experience.
