You do know that when you say "I'm not a racist, I have black friends" it makes people a tad suspicious.\n\nAnymoo, as an African American I must say...\n\nBoth are offensive and idiotic. I wish all those words would not be used anymore. News flash, it isn't cool.

Agreed. We know the poor are not coming but the I want more (on the whole). They used that excuse to often and we know the truth. As with menial jobs. It does not cut the mustard on posts any more-nor does racism. Time to talk truths.\n\nIt seems many don't want to answer the questions that point that out-their excuse for bad behavior is gone. And yes look at who is crossing on film these are not touch ups.\n\nAnd to some of these post--we can show you some real America that is just as sad-mary we have many slums

"How do you explain all the poor people, black ones"\n\nSome one is racist

Black people feel that because their ancestors were the victims of slavery & oppression, they have the right to complain about what white people do. I feel sorry for the whites today that have to constantly watch what they say around us. It causes white people to act more hostile towards blacks. I think black people need to have a sense of humor & stop gettting offended when whites open their mouth to say something...life is just too short to harbor any resentments.

Because they make generalized assumptions and stereotypes against black people like the one you just made.

"The whole 'because whites were so bad in the past' is a ridiculous excuse, and not an answer."\n\nSorry, but it IS an answer and a valid one.

Well, its not an excuse, but all you really have to do is indicate that couldn't start out objectively.  Like indicate a bias toward the position of the prosecutor or defendant.  They don't like to have that on a jury.

The phrase in this form started out in the 1950s as an offshoot of "excuse my French."  This is a result of racial stereotyping - Anglo-Saxons of the late 19th century blamed the French for anything remotely dirty.  The belief started in the mid 19th century and held that was France sex-obsessed and pornographic.

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.

Thank you.\n\nAlso, they fail to realize how many blacks dislike that word.\n\nNotice how they focus on the thugs and gangsters?\n\nI suppose they think that all of us act that way too.......

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.

I know what you mean, the reason Blacks never got anything because they never has rights to. When slavery ended in 1865 they were still hated even in king's day which was 40 years ago. In 1955 Emmett Till was lynch to death for Wilsiling at a white woman, how could they demand reparation at that time. Remember that in 1965 blacks were just allowed to vote in Mississippi. Couldn't even vote how could they get Billions in reparations. All those people you mention got things because they had the right to at that time. The Blacks that were slaves are dead true, but the wealth they made for this country is still their, which America is still not entiled to.\n\nYes blacks will get reparations more than you could imagine for Americas crime don't you read the prophecys and scriptures?\n\nMLK Jr\n"Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America, "You are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God."\n\nAmerica pride will not allow them to admitt any wrong doing, "because those kinda things happen" they blame it on the "Africans" "Blacks" or anyone esle for the crime of their fathers and their country. Just read the questions like this on here most Whites will blame it on everyone but their own people, who committed a 440 year old crime.\n\n"Most whites will protest that they bear neither responsibility nor blame for the conditions Blacks face. Neither they nor their for bearers ever owned slaves nor can they see themselves as having held anyone back or down." Today the younger generations of Whites resent being held morally or financially responsible for the racial sins of their ancestors, even though as whites, they still enjoy the inherited advantages and privileges of slavery."

no one should say it, it's derogatory, but we get more when a white person says it than a black person because of the history behind the word. it was used to humiliate and honestly it still does. I don't use it and I get pissed when anyone calls me that.

The main reason is pure ignorance of the black culture.  Plus the negative stereotypes of black men ie (thugs, dope dealers, etc) from medias such as newspapers, tv and music.

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.

The thing is that black people started the hip hop/urban culture you are talking about, so that's why people say they act black.  The term I hear a lot is "wigger", that term has been around for years and years.  I know it sounds offensive to some, I am just stating the term and I don't mean anything derogatory by it.
