Why are white people so racist?

That is a good question.  Most of you are looking at it wrong.  Yes there are racist people all over.  He just asked about one group of people, white people.  In your opinion why are white people so racist?  In my opinion most of the racist white people I have met are that way because of history.  History teaches us that the white man or Caucasian or what ever they want to be called accomplished everything.  Even to the discover of America, but how can you discover something that was not lost.  The Indians where there to greet them.  If society stop asking about a person race it would be a step toward stopping racism.  What does the color of my skin have to do with the knowledge I have.  I don't like being called an African American, because what do you call a white person from Africa, they are African descent but now lives in America.

unfortunately i think this is a problem between all races/colors/religious groups/political groups/ethnic groups etc.  i was once called a "racist white b***h" because i walked up to a guy and said "i had your paycheck ready but i screwed it up and shorted you so give me five minutes to fix it and i'll bring you your new check".  he said i shorted him on purpose because i was a racist.  there are angry jerks in every group.

I agree with you and wonder why some people are Racist, too.\n\nI believe that racism arises when people get lazy and want to feel superior to others: It is easier for people to judge people based on the OUTSIDE of the person instead of taking the time to get to know the INSIDE of a person.\n\nIn fact, a vast majority of evolutionary/ biological/ psychological scientists argue against the definition or label of "race".\n\nIt is true that, genetically speaking there are certain similarities between ethnic subgroups of people but this does NOT change the fact that overall, we are the same (Homo sapien sapien) and we are all equal in the eyes of our loving Creator!\n\n:)

White people say that people will call them racist if they have an organizations and I believe it's the other way around. White people are under the mentality that if they have an organization for themselves that will make them a racist. So they complain and say that they will be called a racist.

It is the other way around. I think black people are racists to white people. They exclude themselves. B.E.T televsion for example. White people dont have W.E.T.

I think it's similar to "race discrimination" it's only the whites that do it.\n\nhttp://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com/

pay who what\n\nWhites are not racist. There is no White History Month, No WAACP, no Million White Man March.\nYou call us "Whiteboy", "Cracker", "Honkey", or "Whitey" or  "Caveman" and that's OK. But let a white guy make a racial slur and all hell breaks loose. If you shout about power to your group, that's freedom, if we shout 'White Power', that's racist. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police  officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer  running from the law and posing a threat  to society, you  call him a racist.\nI would like to see WET - White Entertainment Television.

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.

everyone is racist to some degree. the very fact that we call whites white and black black shows that there is a difference between the two. so yes, i am racist. but i don't burn crosses and wear a white suit. i am kind and polite to ALL people. and i only expect kindness from others.

I think anytime you are singling out a persons skin color it is racist.  Everyone is human, we all have red blood, and and a beating heart.

The "racist white people" you are referring to are against ILLEGAL immigrants.  Why is that so hard to understand?!?!?!

The white people are the only ones that are really discriminated against.We aren't allowed to say or do anything against any other race, yet all of them want to come down on the white. Everyone wants to holler poor,poor, pitiful old me and they have to have some one to blame their problems on, so we get it from all angles! Yes I don't understand either if you don't like it leave!!No one is forcing any one to stay here.

I say bigotry, Stupid people, fear, and unwillingness to change. I saw a guy on TV one time, can't remember who or what show it was, and he says the reason behind racism is, all those things i just said up there, and the fact that if a white person celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but racism to other cultures wether the white person is american, canadian, french or otherwise.If a black man celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but oppression  and hatred for the white man. Black people have BET and have comics telling jokes about white people all the time, and some white people think it's funny, some white people get pissed. What if white people had WET and had comedians telling jokes about black people, the NCAA would throw a fit! I think his point in saying that was Everyone is just as racist as everyone else, you can't just label a whole color/culture/heritage whatever. not all black people are racist, but i'm sure some are, same goes for whites, reds, browns, yellows, everything! And i'm sure since you're from south america, a region where there are no racists, you do get some prejudice. But what if I, a white dude, went to South America and tried to make it? You think i would just mingle right in? WRONG!!! You have to make the choice yourself not to be racist or hateful. My friend and i get along just fine, he is black, whoopidy doo, our families are different but we have been best friends since we were 12, now 22. So it's up to individuals to make the difference.

the same reason that some white, asian, chinese, jewish, mexican, puertorican, russian, ect. people act like porch monkeys, make a spectacle of themselves and irritate other people.  they either want attention, are "special", or are just immature.  a person will act a "jackass" regardless of their race, color or ethnicity.  think!!!!
