First of all I am white but i dont care if people i know are black, blue, or green it is their personalities that i "get along with" or dont get along with.  \nSecond it is because the first african americans in america were slaves and the master/slave mentality is sadly passed from parents to children, and is hard to change. This is horrible.

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.

Someone have to teach them. Since you really want to know I will tell you from the Blacks perspective. Believe me when I tell you rather you believe it or not, but if we don't tell them about their past will whites? Do you honest believe whites will teach them about the real history. Will whites say that Blacks were slaves and oppress for over 400 years,No. White America will say "African sold other Africans into slavery" White America will blame every single thing America has done against them on everyone in the World, except America(Their people). But have too much pride to say yeah it was our ancestors that kill over 40 million of your people and Lynch tens of thousands. They won't admit they had them mark like cattle, burned alive, shoot at them, sent dogs to bit them, rape them. No, what do they say "if only the Africans did not sell them" as if the Africans knew what was going on over here. They won't say that Blacks had their nationality took and religion, culture, customs and their way of life. They won't admit everything this nation has come from the foundation of slavery. \n\nThat's why we teach our kids this is because whites try to forget it to make 400 year old crime go unpunished. Especially when this nation still like to benefit from the millions that died in vain. I would say most blacks will not even care about it, if America man up to what it did and stop blaming 400 years of oppression on the "African" and todays Blacks. Whites say some blacks are poor because they blame things on whites and are to lazy to work, untrue. As I said Just 40 years ago blacks were marching to end segregation. So in other words most blacks have to start over they did not have nothing because they been rob so long. They do not have college funds for their kids, can't buy their kids cars because they inheritaged 400 years of nothing which in most cases devolops a spirit of poverty. Which is why other group come here and be successful over black because lots of black have a poor man spirit which is hard to break, even hard when they get older. Whites will not say that the poor blacks are not poor because they are lazy but because all their centuries of free labour went into our(Whites) hands. If your white then how many people you know had your parents help you in life, how many went to nice schools, someone to pay for your college, etc. Then compare it to blacks back in the 50's, and see that they had nothing and were trying to vote. Notice the difference, whites never had it as bad, just being white you have spiecal treatment and I'm talking about the 50's.\n\nIt not a reason to keep blacks back, thats what they won't us to think to make all that died for the benefit of America to go in vain. So they can continue to enjoy a 400 advantage.

Im with the person above. No one can voice their opinoion and be politically correct. If anyone is racist its everyone but white peopleIve tried to meet and be friends with african americans and hispanics but all I got was negativity. they think everyone is racist but not everyone is. and if you feel like the government is racist take a number and run for office of some kind stand up for yourrself. What about homosexuals almmost everyone who is not homosexual is racist (or what ever i guess they are more segrationist then racist since homosexuality isnt a race but whatever) against them everyone says they go straight to hell but do they? Everyone's afraid to be sued for racism cause they wouldnt offer a scholarship. Like I said if anyone is racist its not the white people cause we get the negativity. and yes media will publish and exaggerate crap to make money. We used africans as slaves a long time ago, we gave african americans the right to vote a long time ago, we let them adopt. HOMOSEXUALS cant live thewir lives openly because people will destroy their lives, they can't adopt because of their orientation because people think they will teach their kids to be gay. its been accepted by alot of scientist that homosexuality is prolly genetic it cant be helped except for the killing of mothers who pass the gene. I'm tired of hearing crap from colored(i mean all colors not just blacks) people complaining about inadequate right and treatment. so what your your not the only one I get made fun of because I listen to Beethoveen not rap! But I dont complain I just tell them thats your view not mine live with it. So you have no room to complain white people are put down just as much so grow up and just live your life. Dont let people stop you cause your black or whatever. Look beyond yourself and at the bigger picture when i did i realized homosexuals and everyone deserves the same rights.

why do you care what other people think?  you'll never please everybody so do whatever you want.  Besides, no one is entirely white or entirely black.  But since you asked, I'm white.

p-cat-doll, you can't really say that "white people in general" have opporessed so many nationalities, and believe that, can you?  Give me a break!  The problem with many cultures, blacks included, is that they don't want to strive to live up to the American dream, or to conform to white american culture (no more slang? no way!) and so they continue to oppress THEMSELVES by using their culture as a fall back for the things they have done, do, and will do in the future.  It is only the non-white individuals that conform, get a great education, speak properly, act properly, and take responsibility for themselves that do well and are successful in America.  I know alot of non-whites who are well educated, well spoken, successful, middle class Americans, and you know why? Because they don't use their "culture" as an excuse (or blame whites) when they don't succeed.\n\nI totally disagree with you, and you are wrong.  Your kind of thinking is what keeps "other" nationalities behind in the United States.  It's not our fault, take responsibility!\n\n\nIn response to: p_cat_doll\n\n Hell No. White People in general have oppressed so many nationalities they should be banned from even having a calendar.

The only racism i see is the blacks expecting special privleges over whites.  And that is very common.  When do you think this racism will end?

Do you mean blacks in America, or Europe, or Africa?  Not trying to be inflammatory, just a question.  Because each group has a different perspective.\n\nI'm white, so I'd admit that I don't have the same perspective as you, but I'll try to answer as an American.\n\nFor a long time, blacks lived with the stigma of slavery and inferior status, which was thrust upon them upon a racist society.  Recently, not soon enough, they have realized that are not inferior and been proud of their heritage.  It is certainty an atrocity the method of arrival to America that blacks endured, which white Americans can not apologize enough for, but many blacks have learned to take advantage.  So now more and more black people are taking advantage of the opportunities afforded them as Americans.  The problem still remains that some blacks still view themselves in a slave mentality that makes them dependent on white society.  What they should do is view themselves as part of the larger American society, that now for the most part views racism and discrimination as a shameful chapter in America.  Sure there are still backwater bigots out there, but for the most part they are no longer in position to discriminate.  They just have their primitive ideas, what are no longer the normative viewpoint.\n\nI'm sure I'm oversimplifying black culture and views in America, but I still believe that there are wonderful opportunities in America that aren't available elsewhere.

I prefer to be called Black, not African American. No, I'm not from Africa but of course my ancestors are. But given the fact that many African Americans from Africa have treated me like sh*t like any other racist idiot, I'd rather not be called that. I have heard from many of them that we (Blacks) are not pure Africans and that we are a disgrace to their people. The ones I've encountered looks at us and treat us like dogs. I'm cool on them. Don't want to ever be associated with them. Don't get me wrong, not all of them are like that. But the majority I've encountered are.

Quit shouting, we can hear you.\n\nWhite is not literally the color of "white" people, any more than black is literally the color of "black" people. White people are sort of peach or tan or pink, and black people are various shades of brown.  And what's the point of hating anyone for the color of their skin, any more than the color of their hair or eyes?  It's just stupid.

Okay...im black as you can tell. eh..hemm. But I think there is alot of pre judging out there. Very ignorant statements like teh one by SLICK 77 is it? Shows that there is still racism out there.  The fact is there are tendancies in all races  but to say that that is  the only color to do them is absurd. I find most racists are people who either havent grown up around other races or have grown up around them and got hurt by the situations. You also have teh ones who havent amounted to to much in society's eyes and they turn to the opposite race and say things that you would think hmmm....."are they looking in the mirror". I am married to a white man......and we both still have some pre judgements about each other "alil bit". but we have 3 bi racial childen been together 10 years met at a amusement  park (working there) He grew up in a mostly white town about 10.000 people(has used teh word nigger) when his girlfriend was liking a black guy(so again there is teh hater situation) hate can really bring the racism out in you. Think about it. Its a coping mechanism. a BIG FAT EXCUSE to make your self feel better. Because other wise you would have to say 'Oh..i am NOT smart of enough..or cute enough.....or have a good job....or enough money..I could go on and on. This subject is soooo complex. I know the struggle that blacks have went thru but SOME HOODRATS and REDNECKS/HILLBILLIES need to look at it how it is.  Take responsibility for YOUR own actions.My husband and i have grown over years he has never called me a nigger . if he heard that now he would whoop up on somebody Sooooooo... to answer your question yes its still here but I believe its all from ignorance and people can grow out of it and from it. we both never thought of being with each other but ...we met at work and it grew from there................racists=HURT PEOPLE......WHEW!

I really think the indains should have more of an issue with white people than the blacks should. But it really wasn't that long ago that we whites where hanging blacks... and really that takes awhile to just get over it.   I just wonder how white people would feel if thier grandparents and great grandparents where taken out and hung because they wanted to vote or ride in the front of the bus.   We as whites and blacks need to remember the history behide this issue so that it will never repeat itself again.    As far as racism goes there will always be racism due to the fact that there will be always someone with feelings of being better than someone else.  It needs to be forgiven but never forgotten...and I myself am very sorry for what my past white americans done to the black americans.  I just wished that white americans would take care of their own like the black americans take care of theirs but then again we have never been taken out of our beds to hang because of our color.. while our children watched.   It really wasn't that long ago.

Yet another whitewashed fast-forwarded version of black history. \n\nBlack people as a group are not 'angry'.  Some are angry; some don't care. My God...  And at this point I'd like to point out that we do not all mindlessly follow the lead of anyone put in front as some of you have stated. Don't beleive everything you read in the media ok?  Nobody whips black people up into a frenzy. Personally I don't know anyone who pays any attentiont to Al Sharpton.  Some of you are so insensitive and out of touch, it's ridiculous. \n\nTopics like this make me angry. People are just talking all out of their a_sses. How can people outside of a community speak for what goes on inside of it? I don't tell white people that black people have not discriminated against them. Why tell us that racism against us is a thing of the past?  You don't even know what being black in this country is or even means...\n\nAlso the black experience in this country is above and beyond slavery. What did you think?  Slavery ended. Slave and slave master just skipped off into the damned sunset, hand in hand singing  'Shiny Happy People' ? \n\nGive me a break.\nDisparities and negative atttudes about race do exist. For instance, black people are less likely to be hired. Did you know that? If not I don't know why because there have been several studies on the topic. It's the truth. I have a friend who was discouraged by the receptionist of a company from putting her more 'black-sounding' name on the application because the manager 'would be less likely to hire her'.   What do you think of this? \nEven black latinos in this country catch hell. For merely looking black. They are worse off than their whiter-looking counterparts.  They are subjected to the same economic and social treatment as us. The sad thing is some of them just got here and had no idea things were this f****ed up!   \nThis is a direct reflection of your so-called colorblind society. Because if black looking individuals who have nothing to do with the black experience can claim the same amount of injustice that black people supposedly whine about what does that really say to you about the progress of this country?  \n\nLet's end it here.  \nYou just don't get it; I will not even try to go into it with you. \n\nCan all of our problems be blamed on racism.  Yes (historically speaking) and no. The black community is at a crossroads. I won't get into it but we cannot let go of the past because the past still affects them.  However despite the institutionalized racism kept in place for decades black folks have got to come to terms with it.  We must get out of the victim role loop. No matter what has happened we must push forward.  We have no choice . The governement doesn't care. In truth it never did. \n\nAnd you say we should be thanking white people for enslaving the African to begin with? You deserve a good hard slap for that.\n\nThis country has completely f****d over an entire race of people.  My grandmother was begat out of rape--a product of her mother's white captors. The same is true for many blacks although racist propaganda will tell you different. Why else do you think we come in so many different hues?  I don't care if you're grandaddy was Thomas Jefferson, Washington or Roosevelt--who would be proud to claim that kind of legacy? \nThe denial of education, of voting rights, owning land, the rights of a black woman to her own body, of a black man to protect her and his family...  What the hell does THAT tell you?  Black people were never meant to progress as a people in this country; We were never supposed to succeed.\n\nSuppose you'll tell me to go back to Africa if I don't like this country?  Well, Africa is not my home. The African lost his cultural identity and had his native tongue and religion beat out of him once he was shipped here. \n\n...and I'm not going any damned where. My

Well I can not speak for everyone. But I myself find some black women very attractive. I would like to date one some time . I guess I always wonder what my friends and family would think as well as what her friends and family would think but the bottom line is how we both feel towards each other.
