On the contrary, it wasn't so much a show of fear as a sign of aggression. To the first answerer, baring one's teeth in the primate kingdom is saying, "Look at how large my canines are. Do you want to fight?"\n\nThis is actually a very good question. I'm not sure why a smile is subconscious, either. I hope you find an answer!

Because unfortunately, some people are too busy being jealous, hateful, rude and judgemental to lower their guard and just smile at others. Sad isn't it?  *Big Smile*

We do the same as blacks tell people they should not be sensitive, or I'm just joking when it comes to racism or cultural situations.\n\n/doc

Nope. Just because people smiling at me, that doesn't means that I have to trust them. \n\nI smile at others too, but that doesn't mean I want them to trust me. I don't need that.\n\nI smile because it makes me feel good and when others smile at me, it still makes me feel good. What do you going lose anyway, giving other people a smile? \n\nSo...SMILE =)

in order to satisfy one' ego one feels that he is superior to others and starts looking others as inferior to him.it will not stop there.another reason is we are conditioned to know that white is superior to black and begin hating the black people and love white skinned people. one more reason is if one group of people  is in possession of wealth, and power, it treats others as inferior to them.

Since it is believed that people are originally from Africa, dark colored skin would have been the norm.  However, as people migrated north they weren't getting as much sun because they had to cover up to keep warm.  However, black people who get very little sun develope vitamin D deficiency because your body requires sunlight to make the last step of the synthesis go.  So, their skin needed to let more light in and it was beneficial to them to evolve lighter colored skin.  \nHave you noticed (part of it is interbreeding with white people, of course) that American blacks, who have been in the US about 200 years, are not nearly as dark black as native Africans anymore?

Many reasons! Because we are unhappy with the way we look,with our jobs,with our kids,with our mates,with ourselves,it goes on and on!Sometimes we look for ways to be sad instead of being happy.Just like prisoners get institutionalised and keep going back to prison,some people get use to being miserable and they don't feel right unless their sad!!

You are right, it is weird. When whites comment on blacks it is bad. When blacks comment on whites it is okay. Weird times. Why can't we just get along?

I am not black but I asked a Friend of mine that same question. He said it was because they were brought up to believe whites had it so much easier than them. I lived in a mixed neighborhood close to the inner city the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Anyways some of the black guys I worked with were always asking when I was going to get everyone together at my house. So I finaly cleared this party with the wife and guess what none of them could make it over. My buddy who is black said when they found out where I lived they didn't want the other African Americans in the neighborhood to see them at my house. Its a funny old world ain't it?

That's not necessarily true for everybody.  Some people's faces come to rest in a smile, like President Jimmy Carter.  Some other people's faces come to rest with the corners of the mouth turned down.\n\nThe effort and muscle comes in when you make your face do something other than its resting point.
