I'm Black and I speak proper English at all times unless I'm just hangin' w/ friends.  However, when it matters, and when I hear Black people speaking Ebonics -- or what I just plain call "ghetto" -- I think they are simply uneducated.  I think they're low-class and I think they reflect poorly on ALL Blacks.

that's a good question. its because the US government are scared to act. it would be call racism. blacks always complain about that there people where tortured and slaves... like they where the only one. Egypt enslaved hundreds of thousands of whites  for hundreds of years. Blacks where enslaved for like 100 years and they still complain.\nSISSYS.\nBlacks always say stuff like well i get put in jail for nothing. then later we find out he did do something wrong.     they need to take responsibility for there own actions\n\nP.S. Blacks choose not to get a bad education. they have all these excuses like they have less of a chance than us. they are just lazy. \nthey have the United Negro College Fund. what do whites have? nothing but smarts. that not our fault... I'm not saying that whites are all smart but you are wright about blacks having more rights. If whites made a United Caucasian Fund, the creators of it would be sued for racism.  ya that sounds real equal... NOT

I don't 'hate' black people.\n\nBut I could say that I dis-like the priorities and behaviors that are stereo-typical (falsely or otherwise) of blacks.\n\nGhetto rap, bum dressing, lower work ethic, style over and above substance, poor english skills, blaming others, etc.

I think that black people too often look for an issue when there isn't one.  They often blame people for looking at them wrong, giving them bad service, etc. because they are black but there is no proof of that.  Watch the TV show Black White and you'll see some good examples of that.\n\nI also agree with the first person who answered.  Do you have any idea what it is like to be called a racist simply for walking into a room?  It's disgusting.  You don't even have to do anything to be accused of such a bad thing. \n\nI have a good example of what I'm talking about.  My husband and I were at a Denny's restaurant one night.  The waitress was horrible and didn't pay any attention to us.  It took us nearly 20 minutes to get our drinks and we got our food about an hour after we got there because I complained to the manager.  Towards the end of our meal a group of black teenagers came into the restaurant.  They too were ignored.  After about 15 minutes they got up and started yelling, cussing, and making a scene accusing the Denny's staff of being racist for not serving them.  I told them that we waited even longer for drinks and they called me a bitch and left.  They were completely unwilling to believe that they were being treated just like every other person in the restaurant that night.  Those teens were biased and went looking for things to prove their biases. \n\nI'm not saying that racism or bias doesn't exist but I am saying that someones people are way too sensitive and look to put a racist spin on things that just aren't racism.

I'm white and I've actually been told that I couldn't have any problems by more than one race. The only thing I can say, is that good and bad comes in all of God's colors as well as narrow minds. God gave us choice and sometimes people chose to believe what is easist to belive in order to release themselves of all responsibilty to a current situation or life situation. The other thing is that you are actually perpetuating the cycle by making a blanket statement. I do not have to be black to know in my heart, that not all black people think this way even though I did experenced exactly what you're talking about.

Because they know why you "try" to love their cultrue.  They would much rather you be interested in them as Individual persons not as a "group" or a "culture" or take an interest in their culture merely because they are Black and its PC to do so.  You also underestimate their ability to see your spurious and insulting attempts to pretend you like them when deep down you are still very predjudiced.  Only honesty will assuage their anger and rightful hatred of bigotry.

I agree with you but for some reason some ppl believe they are above the law because of their "situation" and they use that situation as an excuse and when ppl complain about them they throw in the race card. Plllllllllzzzzzzzz

this crap is not ALWAYS applied when blacks don't get their way.  it is a small population of people who have grown accustomed to using slavery and all the "oppression" as a means of getting special treatment instead being a hard working law abiding citizen. as a young black woman, I don't feel like i deserve to keep my gas on if i didnt pay the bill, or get out of a ticket because the cop might have only pulled me because i am black. i was probably speeding, so that's why he pulled me.  so, the woman who decided that the ONLY reason your husband is trying to run his business professionally without being bullied by that BS is because someone somewhere let her get away with that ish and she is trying to milk it for all it is worth.  my advice to her is "pay your damn bills and stop thinking that history is going to get you special treatment", and my advice to you and your husband is "please don't stereotype an entire race because a select few of us are waiting for their 40 acres and mule".  have a great thanksgiving!!!

I don't know but if I was black I would be insulted to know that I needed something like that to get a job.  It would make me think that the government thought I was stupid and didn't have any skills so I couldn't get a job based on that.  I hate it personally.  I have to turn down talented people all the time.

Because they themselves (whoever is a stereotyper or is just plain racist/pregidist) are ignorant. I would say this kind of thing should be punishable by law, but you really can't throw people in jail for their beliefs.\n\nMy Dad was like that. I hated everything about him. He was very ignorant, he acted like a Barbarian! He stomped around, couldn't even begin to think of how to spell the simplest of words, and shouted a lot. He threw temper tantrums whenever something didn't go his way. \n\nI started to learn that MOST people (I did say most- not all) people who were like this were ignorant. So all we can do is hope that some day someone/something will open their eyes and learn- we are all human- so why hate each other?

Kay well this is what I've seen lots of times and realized if you EVER see a really BIG black guy like even if he's a lil fat but just big he is SCAREY as hell, but if you just see some big fat whit dude he's like the guy you make fun of then out run, but black people, well no I'm sorry you just don't make fun of black people, I don't make the rules lol, oh AND I BET you that they are hoping one day for some racist jerk to be the guilty one and say something really crazy to the baliff in some part of the court show and then they can put it on their highlight real to show how REAL their court cases are.  \n\nP.S. I think the judge did it...

It's cute how you think that all black people are in gangs...it truly is the frosting on the cake of my stereotyped life. But seriously what truly amazes me is how in that simple question you stomped all the works and struggles of Martin Luther king and Malcom X down to mud to dribble into the sewers and mix in with the rats and piss that i've come to love so much...ever so many thanks for the ego boost. How kind of you to degrade black people without any consideration or acknowledgement of the fact that we, as unimaginable as that is,are people too.

Based on the lack of information you've provided, it's impossible to offer you any insight into why life is so hard for you. As for taking insults and mockery from both your white and black friends, this is driven by their own insecurities in who they are and possibly even they're jealousy of who you are. You should just be yourself with respect to that. As for making life not so hard, I would be better able to give you advice and suggestion if I knew more about your circumstances at present.

I am sure they are making racial comments. To be honest, they are that way they are because they never put them self in the other person’s shoe. Can you think of one thing a black race in this country did to you that make you say it was not worth getting their 400 years off free labor. Have you ever heard the saying "don't judge a man till you walk a mile in his shoe." Most blacks do not tip good because they do not have that much to spare. \n\nIf it makes you feel better, I am as black as it gets, and I usually tip between 30-40%; because I once worked as a waiter to put myself through school. \n\nIn now days am seeing more and more blacks in the professional work places and universities. That means there is a higher level of hope in the future; they will be able to tip well.

ppl around this area think black people are all rappers that wear their pants down and their boxers hanging out, and that they dont have a job. i happen to be friends with them and they are nothing like that. i also hear things about hispanics in our area. people think all hispanics are lowdown, dirty, poor people that live 20-30 people in a house. well, i hate this, because it is not true. they arent all illegal, and most of them work harder than american people!!
