Don't most white people hate blacks ?

I don't feel most white people hate blacks.  If they did, blacks would not be in the positions many successful blacks find themselves in today.  Does racism exist - absolutely,  but that is a knife which cuts both ways.\n\nThe difficulty many blacks have achieving in this country I feel can be attributed to the following reasons:\n\n1) The small percentage of blacks, particularly young black males,  which are responsible for a disproportionate percentage of crime in the country (particularly violent crime).  I have heard but can not recall the sourse that attributes 75% of murder in the country to black youths.  If that is correct, that would mean that roughly 3% of the population is comitting 75% of the murders.  Reduce the murder rate attributed to young blacks in half and it is still an outrageous statistic.\n\n2) An extremely high percentage ( 60+ % ) rate of unwed females giving birth into a system which will perpetuate their children into almost certain poverty and dependence on an ever increasingly resentful society.\n\n3) A significant portion of the black culture which appears to be incapable of fully integrating into a system which has proven time and time again that its rewards are directly proportional to the effort put into achieving within the system.\n\n4) An apparent broad based inability to accept that not all actions taken against blacks are because of skin color.  Sandra McKinney is yet another recent prime example.  Had a white person, congressional member or not, struck a whitehouse cop in today's climate, that person would be under the jail, not appearing on 200 media outlets for a week playing the race card.  \n\nI have to admit, it was refreshing that not a single member of the Congressional Black Caucus participated in her defense in any manner.\n\n5) Hold on to your hats for this one - I feel the single biggest reason blacks aren't as succuessful as everyone would want them to be is an inabilty to move forward despite the tragedy of slavery.  There absolutely has to come a time when that era in their history is remembered but not used as a crutch or devisive tool.  \n\nThere IS NOT another single society on the planet that has not taken slaves or conversely has not been taken as slaves as a result, primarily, of war.  It does not make either one right or wrong.  It makes them a fact of history experienced by every single race, society, culture, and country that ever existed prior to 1900.\n\nMy ancestory is Irish.  I will not get into the well documneted torturous behavior the people living on what is now Ireland have endured since seemingly the beginning of mankind.  \n\nDo I fault, the Scandinavians, the Romans, the British.  Each of these groups have taken slaves, ruthlessly murdered men, women and children and looted everything of value they could manage to carry and some they couldn't like the land itself.  These are all well documented facts.  But most importantly to me is that they are facts which did not happen to me, my parents, or grandparents just as no black person living today can claim.  \n\nI accept this is how people of different origins treated each other during that period in history.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Just actions in the context of world history.\n\nThere must be some point in time when blacks living in the US accept their history in a similar fashion or they will never fully allow themselves to intergrate into the society. \n\nPick your magic number.  Whether its 150 years, 500 years, or 5,000 years, only you can decide.  \n\nJust as a point of reference, between 1841 and 1845 alone, the most widely accepted numbers of Irish deaths at the hands of the british are between 700,000 to 800,000 or put another way as much as 30% of the total population in many regions of the country.  2 million others were forced to flee Ireland or die as well.  These deaths are part of a long history of turmoil in Ireland which ended less than a decade ago and had been going

i think most people are not aware when they say things like this, and maybe some stuff is partly true, like "blacks are better dancers / singers". i believe that those who really mean ALL blacks / whites usually say so: "all whites are ..."

people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton remain in the public's line of sight by capitalizing on racial discord.\n\nI for one despise racism: this is why the so-called "Reverends" earn my disgust, they believe prejudicial  behavior is exclusive to whites, while perpetuating the double standard.\n\nWhat is this double standard that I speak of?\n\nThat it's impossible for blacks and other minorities to be racists.  Ever hear Chris Rock damn whitey and call him cracker for two hours during one of his acts?\n\n\nI personally am tired of being blamed for all the world's ills because I'm a white heterosexual-male that believes in God.

I'm not white, but I know what you mean.  You will probably be called racist for asking this question.  Blacks don't realize that the way they act towards white people can be considered racist too.  Things will never change whites will always be "the bad guy trying to keep us down" and blacks will always be "the victim" no matter how equal they are, they still believe that they are victims.  Like I said things will never change.

i agree with you...to a point, but, rather, I believe it is the black people who HATE the white people; I'm a very nice, welcoming, happy person who likes EVERYONE...unless they give me a reason not to. And most often, i find the majority of black people doNOT like white people; they don't smile back--they glare. Or they just look at a white person with hatred on their face. This happens every week, at the least. It also bothers me that I live in a white upper middle class neighborhood and...suddenly, a few black people have moverd around there...i always smile at them, especially because the most often put their heads down, like they don't want to be noticed, or anyone to, i dunno, burn a cross on their lawn...i say people are people, i don't care whWHAT color you are!

I don't hate anyone no matter what there race or ethnic back ground. \n\n"I don't hate Blacks, but I hate their culture."\n\nIt's still hate, may be you simply don't understand our culture? Would that have been better wording?

Statistically there are far more white people online in the USA then any other race... so there should be more white jerks on too.  Of course you never know if the messages you see were posted by whites just because they said they were.  I think there are equal numbers of hateful people in all races.

hell yes!!!!!!!!! race has nothing to do with that or anything. if you have to hate anybody for something hate someone because of something they did not the way they were born

he he...yeah thats true. But the fact is whites are the most colored of all people on earth i forget what the genetic material is called but whites have the most of them and blacks have the lease. Also if you buy a color wheel that has every color on in excluding white and you spin it quicly...you will see only the color white.

Not all people of any race like all people of another race.  People, even those who're not prejudiced, don't always like each other for a variety of reasons.  Do you like everyone in the world?  Aren't there people who get on your nerves, or people who're rude, or aggressive people, etc. that you just don't like?  The same holds true on this question.

First, your mistakenly assume that all whites hate all blacks.\nSecond, you assume all whites want to be like all blacks.\n\nGiven these two HORRIBLY INCORRECT assumptions, it makes no sense to try to answer this question, other than to point these out and ask you to try again.

I think that this question was a bit uncalled for ....\n\nBut here's my opinion ...\n\nI am white, my husband is black, and together we share a little boy who white and black. He will grow to learn not to "hate" any race. We are all equal in society. The color of our skin does not make a difference in the love in our hearts.

Yes there is unfortunately and I think it is because people are ignorant. Why anyone would hate someone else because of their race is beyond me .
