Why too many race based questions about Black people here?

Come on....... I consider every one to be equalls.  You are the one dogging on other races.  That is one thing that gets to me.  How come certain races always imply their is racism?  And want special privileges.  All people have the right to work and to earn respect from others.  Don't expect handouts.    We all started from one race... then the fall of man.  We all need to take care of ourselves.

I agree too....if you dont like the question, then dont answer it..unless your questions were racist or something like that

all i know is that they are haters. Black people had a bad history and look at us now. They are still trying to put down on us....well there is nothing to put down on now. [ex questions i've witnessed:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvtrRnnmeoJkUGXOlA4kincjzKIX?qid=20061101140754AA1alum\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AufXq.WIIiJ75BO9AnAa0WUjzKIX?qid=20060920075718AAOIyqr ]\n\ni mean. i love ALL people.....this is nonsense.

Gee, a lot of your questions is about race. You must really have a lot of racism going on around your surroundings or you only see the world in Black and White. \n\nOne way you can conquer racism is "Quit seeing the world in black and white" and "Quit bringing up prejudice questions and scenarios". I mean talking about the Janet Jackson incident that occured years ago does not help. It's time to move on. Believe me, Janet Jackson has moved on, why can't you?

Ya...the PC is overdone.  The "race" card is overdone.  The "war" on anything is over.  "For the sake of the children" is over.  Sometimes what it is, is just ,what it is, and there's no other way of distorting facts or hiding behind words.  Brown or Mexican or any of that, is not a "race".  They are a "blend" of the same darned ancestors I have.  They are killing people in Africa because they aren't "black" enough and killing people in Mexico because they are "too" brown.  I doubt there's too many that are a true "pure" race of anything.  I have American Indian in me but you'd be hard pressed to "see" it.  But you can with my oldest daughter.  They have a "rule" here in certain states ,with the 1 drop rule.  1 drop of African blood makes you "black".  You can be snow-white, blonde, blue-eyed and be "black".  Yet you can be 99 9/10ths white and not be "white".  Even though you "look" white.  I do remember the "latin lover" and the dudes from Mexico don't look like Antionio Bandaras.  Even though they are supposidly of the same "race".  I mean please.......5ft fat Jose' is no stud muffin.  Gina Lolabridgeada(sp?) is no Maria Gonzalas.  Why?  Because the really beautiful ones are of a "blended" race.\n\nThese guys that HATE Americans.....you couldn't PICK an American from a crowd of people.  You guys that HATE "whites" ,couldn't tell the difference between an American "white" from a Canadian "white" or Australian "white" or a European "white".

I agree with you somewhat....its confusing of how white people should address them: black, colored or african american? All the political correctness is really confusing.

Because too many people take things too personally! They think these questions or comments are being directed to themselves for real and feel the need to defend. The truth is they are actually defending themselves TO themselves. Everyone here is just a mirror for the inner conflict that occurs.

I haven't see the users question .the fact that so many of you is offended means the question must be pretty bad..i don't think reporting him is the answer .it'll be far better to do as you are doing now and voice your displeasure.to their questions .when they see that they are not getting the response they want .in time they will stop and move on .thank you for apology.i'm black and i'm not a spokesman for the whole race .i can only speak for myself .and my view is this .someone saying hateful things on a computer site can't hurt me .if you read my name backwards that's what i think of people like that ...once again thanks for the apology but  there's no need .you can't be held accountable for the whole white race anymore than i can for the black race

I don't know.  I've noticed the same problem with some of my questions.  Maybe it's like someone said--if your questions aren't about sex, or hating someone or being pregnant, then people aren't interested.  :o)

quite often people pose very racist questions and act innocent when other people get upset. \nmy favorite is, \n"I am not racist but...."\nor\n"this probably sounds racist but....."\nor\n"is it true that all "these people" have big........?"\nThe only thing exclusive to race is colour, even then there are huge variations.\nI live in a small town on the east coast of Vancouver Island. I am white, the reality of things is this. I have more in common with a black lesbian woman from my town then I do with a middle aged white guy from New York.\nI was just in Las Vegas. I met a black guy from small town Manitoba, we had way more in common and way more quirks in common then anyone native to Las Vegas.\nMost racially inspired questions involve stereotypes, most such questions are also rhetorical.\nTalk to someone involved in the field of human rights, maybe they could articulate what I am trying to say in more eloquent terms.\nA interesting side not. I was talking to a trade rep. in Las Vegas from Rwanda, he was wearing spectacular cloths, obviously wealthy. In less then five minutes, he was asked, "do you have some drugs I can buy", "if I give you five bucks will you go grab me a pack of smokes" and my favourite, "hey Leroy, can you carry my bags".\nStereotypes are dangerous, racially inspired questions are ignorant.\nOne other note.\nI live in Canada, I have seen things on this site that would get you arrested in my country for inciting hate, something you can go to jail for. Our country has less racially inspired violence and is considered a freer country than the United States, as per UN rankings.\nsomething to think about.

I haven't been offended by any of the questions.  It seems like there are a lot of people asking loaded questions, trying to stir up controversy.  But if we can't handle a little of that, then our free society is in A LOT of trouble.

there are quite a few on here i suppose but the vast majority of whites are not racist.  don't let the few give all of us a bad name or they have won their little game.  Personally i generally skip over racist questions, so i would think alot of people do and therefore you would never hear from us.  maybe its time to get alittle more involved.

we just want to be people.  if you are ever in a conversation with someone and they want to describe someone they saw or spoke to they will always be  descriptive if the person was black.  ie- hey i saw this black guy with really cool dreadlocks.  if they are speaking of anyone else they wont use ethnicity

I see your view! But it is mighty funny how we see every other race trying to be like us. It seems as if almost everybody wants to be black so bad but yet they put us down. But I know why it's because we are unique we have our own style that some will never understand. Don't trip off of what others think about us just be proud that we have so many haters. We must keep on doing things to make them hate on us and continue to move on. But I also see the points of others some black people give off that vibe and make that reputation for us. But I don't because I know that I am not the stereotypical black person I am aobve others expectations of  what black people are.

Okay...im black as you can tell. eh..hemm. But I think there is alot of pre judging out there. Very ignorant statements like teh one by SLICK 77 is it? Shows that there is still racism out there.  The fact is there are tendancies in all races  but to say that that is  the only color to do them is absurd. I find most racists are people who either havent grown up around other races or have grown up around them and got hurt by the situations. You also have teh ones who havent amounted to to much in society's eyes and they turn to the opposite race and say things that you would think hmmm....."are they looking in the mirror". I am married to a white man......and we both still have some pre judgements about each other "alil bit". but we have 3 bi racial childen been together 10 years met at a amusement  park (working there) He grew up in a mostly white town about 10.000 people(has used teh word nigger) when his girlfriend was liking a black guy(so again there is teh hater situation) hate can really bring the racism out in you. Think about it. Its a coping mechanism. a BIG FAT EXCUSE to make your self feel better. Because other wise you would have to say 'Oh..i am NOT smart of enough..or cute enough.....or have a good job....or enough money..I could go on and on. This subject is soooo complex. I know the struggle that blacks have went thru but SOME HOODRATS and REDNECKS/HILLBILLIES need to look at it how it is.  Take responsibility for YOUR own actions.My husband and i have grown over years he has never called me a nigger . if he heard that now he would whoop up on somebody Sooooooo... to answer your question yes its still here but I believe its all from ignorance and people can grow out of it and from it. we both never thought of being with each other but ...we met at work and it grew from there................racists=HURT PEOPLE......WHEW!
