I don't know, but I do know that black don't like what they are doing. They think because they break the law that they should get Superior legal status. Because they went thru the trouble of coming here. That freedom was earn here and a great price was paid for the opportunity that Americans have. Everyone want to come here to benefit from someone else misfortune. They need to do that somewhere esle.

Well first I want to say this is because of ill-informed white liberals and unsophisticated Democrats as to why we have this proble in America...\nI'll proceed...\nLet me put it to you like this: there are lazy black people and there are hard working black people. The only problem is, there is a good majority of them that are lazy. This is unfortunate because like with anything, the ones that are lazy give the ones who are hard working a bad name. Now, I'm not a conservative but I'm not a liberal. I'm not a racist but I definately know what you're talking about. As a matter of fact I'm not even white, but that doesn't matter. Anyways, the problem isn't so much that they're lazy as it is the problem that lies behind the fact that the majority of them who are lazy don't want to take on the responsibilities of bettering themselves and their community and accepting their faults as to why they are poor, why they don't have black-owned businesses even in the cities that they live in, why so many of them are incarcerated, why they can't stop depending on the government to give them handouts. I could go on and on. The truth of the matter is (and this is not just coming from me but other African-Americans as well), the majority of black folk in America don't want to take on responsibility to make change. They'd rather complain and blame everything on the white man and everyone else who isn't black. I mean, when Martin Luther King rallied a Civil Rights movement, he intended that to better the lives of black folk and give way to equal opportunities for them. As a matter of fact, the very people who fought for those civil rights back in the sixties sacrificed their lives just so black folk could prosper in America. But its a shame to see a good number of black folk disgrace that legacy by allowing drugs, crime and a lack of work ethics to tarnish it. I always hear this left-wing rehtoric that blacks have it hard in this country because they're black. It's not because they're black, it's because they don't want succeed the right way. I'm sure a number of you want to call me a racist, a this or that. You know what, it doesn't really matter because I know for a fact that when the Chinese, Vietnamese, East Indian (who some that are darker than some of the black folk here), and other ethnic groups who immigrated here, worked their asses off and did what they had to do with the very little rights they had and actaully pulled through and ended up owning businesses, having the highest level of education and made names for themselves. Now why can't black people here do the same? Well, here are number of reasons why:\n\nFor one, they highly depend on the Liberals and Democrats to give them this warm feeling that everything is in good hands as long as it is trusted in the hands of Liberals and Democrats, when the truth of the matter lies behind the fact that Democrats don't encourage them to pull their weight, stop using race as an excuse for success, leave family guidance and morale to the side (after all, Bill Clinton was po' black folk's daddy), and brainwash them into thinking that communism is going to solve all the problems when in fact it'll only make things worse for blacks (after all, with communism, who needs to work hard?).\nThe second and foremost reason is because white liberals use their aethist, communist, anything goes, anarchist delusional theory driven ideas to confuse African Americans to believing that as long as they're poor and black, they can be used as puppets for deranged liberal marketing.\n\nSo, if African Americans actually think that the Democrats or the radical liberals are going to make things better for them, then they better start rethinking why they go to church, why they're in America and not in Africa and why they don't need schools at all. Because as far as I'm concerned, it's not the A

Because they're sad and lonely losers!\n\nDon't worry about it- it's their problem- not yours x x x

If you mean TALK down to black people, then believe it or not but not ALL white people do that.  People are people regardless of race, religion, sex.....it's all about attitude.  Positive attitude begets positive response.

inferiority complex ?\n\n(some whites make fun of blacks.  whats curious is why blacks making fun of whites is so accepted and promoted in pop culture)

It's a club mentality.  As we all should know, American black slaves were tragically persecuted and this name was used with vicious slander to degrade their existence to a level of inequality.  As the slaves gained freedom and modern society has evolved, the term is an insider way of being one of the club and a cultural reminder.  A person of different race, using the same term, even if attempted to be used in the same inclusive, brotherly manner, cannot expect to be recognized as one who could possibly relate, thus there is most often resentment and feelings of hostility.  It's one thing to tell people I'm a dirt bag, it's another to have someone else call me one...them's fightn' words.  Think it's a double standard?  Maybe, because it is discriminatory in its own way, excluding outsiders and promotes a negative sense of separation, holding on to a victimized past.  Then again, who didn't come from a victimized past?  If you live in America, most of our ancestors didn't come here because things were so wonderful in the old country.  They left because anything was going to be better than the life they had.  The sad difference for the blacks Africans is that they were kidnapped, forced into ships, and treated like livestock.  Most others had at least some limited choices.

because people these days are very negative and like to see people down rather than up.

Because they don't want to hear about it. They know nothing about life. Their whole history they had it in the privilege seat. The biggest problem their race face is having a bad tan. They blame others because they know nothing about racism and hate, they can't comprehend.  Here is what they say "Africans sold other Africans" "maybe you should look at the ones who sold them". Africans can be partly blame alone with the Jews for the "slave trade" but not for American slavery. Or they would say " that was long ago" "I never owned a slave" "you were never a slave". \n\nBecause they are white they believe they have Superior illegal status. Example it OK that the white race can oppress, kill, lynch, rob and rape the black race. But if the Blacks race do it to them it's unfair, unjustified, and just wrong. They say "those things are over with" "bad things happen to everyone and one point or another"\n\nOK well since white people believe this way, Let's someone rape their women, shoot them for fun, lynch them, burn their house down, and serve others, and oppress them. Then they say ok were done oppressing you, and you should thank us because we stop oppressing you. They will not believe the same way if it was them. Since whites like to stand up for their people the way they treated the black race, will they stand up for the black race if they treated the white race the same as they treated blacks? No, and as I said they think they have superior legal status, it ok for them to committ crimes in history but not ok for crimes committed against them at any time.\n\nHell they get mad when thier tax money support others, or at BET. If this generation of whites went through what blacks did the would die out faster than any race in history. \n\nSounds to me they still want Superior legal status!

Hell, no one is going to give you an honest answer.  The fact is, black people have totally different values from Anglo/European people.  White people look for very specific kinds of status and beauty and language, and anything outside of that target zone is just plain ugly.  And there ain't nothin you can do about it except be yourself and hope that maybe a part of you is beautiful enough for the whiggers around you to take notice.  \n\nTruth be told, I hate most black people.  They want me to fear them, they expect me to respect them, and they don't have anything I need.  But I met a black guy who was so much smarter--at electronics and money and worldly things, more things than I could count--than anyone I knew (and I've known some of the smartest in the world)... that I just had to take my hat off and say, "you're a superior man".  \n\nBut look, even then, I took a look at his life - a fat wife who didn't give a damn about him and wouldn't let his friends stop by because it made her jealous... and he couldn't divorce her.  She treated him like utter crap, treated his kid like utter crap, and he was lonely... and it turned him to getting drunk every damn night.  Here's a guy with all the brains in the world, plenty of money in the bank, and all the motivation to be the best x y or z there ever was - he was a judge in the South decades ago -- black man, judge... business man... more than I could even say here.  But in the end, this man was UNhappy.  Why?  I blame the negro in him.  What did I just say??  It's not racial, it's cultural.  The negro in him just kept pulling him back - back to what?  The ground?  I don't know.  It pulled him down.  He couldn't break whatever he had spent his life trying to strive for.  \n\nAnd that's something that my race tries to be the opposite of.  We try to be the supreme.  We try to own and never be owned.  We try to be on top of things, and never let them be on top of us.  We try to not only be rich, but to invest that money.  We try to be number one, and nothing less than that will suffice.  \n\nSo to you I say, yeah... the negro in you has no honor in my book.  Out of the corner of my eye, if I don't have to get to know you for real, all I see is just another thug, waiting for the chance to swipe my wallet.\n\nI am truly sorry.  \nBut know this:\nI don't blame you, either.  \nFirst, white man brings your race here as slaves, \nthen we give you no place to go.\nYou can't go back to Africa, \nand you can't feel at home anywhere but the ghetto.\n\nLook, white man has been doing this to other white men for centuries.  The only way to get up from under it is to say, "ya know what?  F*CK YOU", and ride out the consequences.\n\nI guarantee you one thing... you do that, and *I* will tip my hat to you.

Because their are ignorant, narrow-minded ppl who feels that one Race is dominant over all the "minorities". They feel threatened. Little punks who cant accept competition and Diversity in a DIVERSE world. They want to stand behind this large and in charge powerful facede. It's all bullshit. Their stupid, why waste time caring about the losers? I am a Black Woman and I, in o way, claim myself to be a Minority. I hate the word! I'm just worried about trying to rid the world of Racism and Hate period, not trying to exterminate a Culture. I have better things to do and plenty of other things to be worried about (like how every night a child dies from starvation)................

It's to make Blacks feel better about themselves.

Actually it is a lot less than it used to be. I am 58 and I remember segregation and white people talking about Negroes and "colored people" in a derogatory way. Today a lot of those same groups of people have black friends or work with black people and there is a lot less of that than there used to be. Yes, there are people, usually of a lower socioeconomic class who are still acting that way because they see educated black people getting better jobs than they do and don't want to admit it is because that person is smarter and better educated and they want to bring them below them so they have someone to look down on. They don't want to admit that the problem is themselves.

Because for some people, the only way they can bring themselves up is to bring someone else down, or at least try to.  I pity people like that.

People have negative feelings towards things they don't understand.  A little eductaion may be all these 'people' need.  But than some people are just stuck in their old racist ways.
