Man, I've been getting stared at for being with white men and women for years.  Get over it.  Old white people are just like old black people--they are the last standard-bearers of an old attitude.  They don't know any better.  And they don't understand this century we live in.  They will die, and any racist beliefs (should it be that) will die with them.   Until then, tip your cap, smile and enjoy your white girlfriend's love and companionship.

Of course you know that if you were white, you would still be human and would still find things to be miserable about, still find injustices, still find excuses, still find people to blame for what is not working in your life.\n\nI'm not discrediting any of your complaints actually, I would probably wonder the same thing if I was black, dealing with the societally imposed heaviness and heartbreak of being black.  But the truth is, you only know what you know.  If you were born purple in a field of orange daisies you would consider anything that interupted, interfered with, or otherwise disturbed your purple and orange daisy world as a terrible and unjust thing.  \n\nWhite people don't get everything easy or handed to them either.  Bad things happen to white people too, including disease, cruelty, injustice, violence and racism.  The difference is that it isn't built into the very fabric of our society to hold whites down as it is for blacks.  The societal infrastructure was built by white people to support white people and overlook black people.\n\nI honestly believe that most white people have no real awareness of the advantages they experience day by day compared to the disadvantages of being black in this society day by day.  Why would they?  They have no framework to compare it to, only the white world they grew up in.  They really have no clue how black people are beaten back and dismissed in this society.  \n\nAs a white woman I work hard to wake my fellow whites up to the fact that we will never get beyond our current black/white tensions by guiltily avoiding what we don't want to see--that we need to start listening to and acknowledging the realities of being black in this country, to understand that white people have for the most remained willfully ignorant of this and to keep the growth and dialog going.  \n\nUnfortunately, people like me are not that typical, white or black.  And as much as black people never want to hear this, if you want to help wake white folks up, you have to be willing to patiently educate them.  Yeah, I know, its not your job and you're sick of it.   But it's going to take both of us to make it happen, friend.\n\nPersonally, I think there should be more interracial marriages and relationships.  Nothing brings these realities home faster than loving someone and taking their problems on as your own.  It becomes very personal then, especially if your biracial kid is experiencing racism...then you really get it.   I would have considered myself absolutely non racist until I fell in love with my husband, who is black.  Then I had to start coming to grips with the subtler types of racism I had no idea had been put in me.  I've learned a lot.

Seeing as how you decided to use Yahoo Answers as a forum, allow me a moment to retort. \n\nIt seems that you are a bit confused....and I understand; you feel passionately about your point of view. I hope that you know that the people you've described here I'm sure can counter every single proclamation you've made, but will it help foster and facilitate a conversation that helps us all learn to understand each other? \n\nWill it help you to see and appreciate the many differences between our cultures that make us all ultimately the part of ONE HUMAN RACE? \n\nI hope so. I don't feel that only whites can be racists. That would be like saying that only white people are rich or educated. Its a blanket statement and its fear and ignorance that divides us. \n\nAt our core, we are all the same. We want to be safe and happy and live in a safe , thriving environment and wants the best for our families, friends, and loved ones. \n\nI appreciate you putting this question out here after all. Hopefully it would foster a conversation- the first step in understanding each other.

Some would call us Crackers.\n\nUs white folk feel entitled to automatic success because our white guy fore-fathers built this country politically and financially.  We don't try to learn about other races because we don't have to associate with them to make money.  We also don't like other cultures because we are afraid they will 'steal' our legacy.  It becames a self full-filling prophecy that is taught to the next generation of whities.\n\nTwo more notes:\nI don't think they are lazy, they just have never been exposed to other cultures and are confused about how to fit in.  When in doubt, people give up - because it is better to cling to your closed off world than look foolish.\n\nEveryone is looking to fit into a group.  And generally what you learned in high school applies.  Groups put down other groups and peer pressure is relentless.

People are afraid of what they don't know. They are also afraid of change. \n\nThey think "If we all start loving everyone, regardless of race, creed or color, why then, we'd all be equal! And, goodness, we can't have that!" \n\nA person's quality is never determined by their skin color, but by their actions... by their heart. Until everyone realizes this, hate will exist. Please don't let it get you down. You just love with all your heart, and do what you know is best. Meet stares with a smile. Meet hostility with a soft word. Take the wind out of their sails. \n\nBest of luck you and your girlfriend!\n\n(and, for the record, I'm as white as I can be... but I know that people are just people, no matter what)

Haha, just call all the white people Goggle Eyes and you will feel better about yourself. I personally have a thing for asian eyes...probably why I ended up with a Fillipino.

While it is true that white people are pretty much everywhere, there are many places where you can live where at least the white people are a minority. There are many counties in most states in the U.S. South, for example, where white people make up less than 20% of the population...for example, Hampton Co. in SC has very few white people. \n\nBetter though, would be examining your fear of white people, what it is about them that troubles you, and learning methods to cope with your fear. \n\nGenerally speaking, white people behave no worse than any other ethnic group that has the majority population of a region. Whoever the big group is tends to bully the others in the smaller groups. While I do oftentimes think that white people may be somewhat crazier than most other peoples, the real problem is not the skin colour, the real problem is human nature. Even the best people you know will do the most horrible things if put in a situation that stresses them beyond their limits.  That's why nations are easily manipulated by their leaders through use of propaganda to stimulate anger and/or fear.\n\nOn the other hand, if your fear is generated by actual experience, then it all boils down to this: no one in the United States should have to put up with abuse, discrimination, or hate. If you are afraid because someone is actively bothering you, then you should report it to the authorities.

I'm white and I agree. It's just like the black college funds, colleges, television etc... Lord forbid there be a white college fund or white college or a white tv station. I agree with your boyfriend that because of the history looooooooooong ago it puts a damper on things now. But we shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of others. I am proud to be white and I am proud to be an American and I am pround to be from Oklahoma. Shouldn't I be allowed to flaunt it?  And it's also ok for other races to make fun of us in their comic gigs or whatever and say the work "Cracker" referring to us but we aren't allowed to say the word "Nigger" referring to them. I don't think either word should be used. I don't think any word like that  should be used to describe anyone. But I can't say I am upset about the slaves being brought over here. I am glad their offsprings are here. They are my friends. If it weren't for the slaves being brought over we may not have some of the great people we do have. I am disappointed in what happened to alot of them though. I feel for them. Though thank God that thinking is different now.\n\nOMGOsh!!!!!!!!!! \nI wrote out that so horrible "N" word to make a point and it got substituted with symbles but the word CRACKER is still there. See my point people. If we are supposed to be equal lets be equal.

I can't explain everyone else's reactions to Arabic and Muslim people, but I for one strive to treat Arabs no differently than anyone else.\n\nYou have only to look at the U.S.'s continued history of racial tension (and that goes BOTH ways, folks--whites prejudiced against blacks and BLACKS prejudiced against whites... it happens!) to realize that, sadly, not everyone feels the same.

I think it's great. Love is blind. I try to just see people not skin color.\nI can only imagine what the world would be if we all did the same.

I think that if I was trying to hurt a white person's feelings, I would ask them how things are down at the trailer park and when their cousins are going to marry each other again.  I would accuse them of being a racist, a slave master/owner, or a member of some white supremist group. I would also rant about how much they hate black history month, afrocentric holidays, and how their ancestors stole land from the indians. Furthermore, I would stereotype them with television shows like "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best".

No.  White people will always be considered evil people.  We will never be able to do anything right.
