Looks like you came back using another name didn't you? You use to be 2cool and then LoveMe and now your Al Sharpton. Your a rude person and i'm no longer playing your game because your not worth my time. You are crude and your replies to peoples questions are mean and un-called for.

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.

I’ve always thought they were trying to go back to their roots and were using names you would find typically in Africa.  Also many blacks have the last name of their ancestors slave owners, so they may be trying to offset their white name with an African name.

White's stick together, and have more sympathy for one another. They don't want to hear about slavery because they don't want to be reminded about how dumb their ancestors were. I'd be embarrassed too if I was white,lol

I have no idea why they're so uptight. They feel that if they suffered in the past they have the right to be the country's little princesses. I've been to Europe and I swear black people aren't so uptight there. So the source for all this must be the frustration of african americans of having been enslaved by the white man in the past. Ok, we're all sorry. It's not going to happen ever again so you can all start behaving like everybody else now. Stop being so touchy.

It is ridiculous the way african americans always have to try and make the white caucasions look as if they are being prejudice. Life is not a racial issue and should not be looked at that way. Everyone has has their own inner beauty and should let that overide any feelings of hate and or prejudice. I sometimes wonder if the african americans are more prejudice than the caucasions that surround them.

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

While to fit in with African Americans as a behavior could come from several different reasons.  It could be that the person sees them as superior in strength and presence and they want to be aligned with that.  They may see some members of specific groups as having great and laid back lives (think rappers).  They may see that they act more as a family and that brings commraderie and protection (think gangs or just in general).  Or they may see it as different and they really want to be different, separated from the typical white crowd and ideas.\nThere are lots of things that motivate people psychologically and many of them often are really "unknown" to the actual person as they never sit down and think... hey why do I do this.. they just respond to the desire to do it.\n\nBut that is just my opinion

Because some afercan americans see it  as you grew up preppy adn you dont know what it is like to live in "the hood"  So they treat you diffrently for some reason they dont belive that white people go through the same thing tehy do which isnt true.  Everybody no matter what color goes through rough times and bad things.  You concidered white cause of where you grew up adn probley whom you hung out with. Its your posture the way you speak and dress and how you go about your day.

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

People that are in denial of their race or color and want to be something else or by trying to putting down other minorities to make themselves feel better about what their serurities are from within.

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.

No, I think they live in perpetuated poverty because of cultural attitudes toward "acting white." Because of an aversion to "acting white," they alienate themselves from the rest of society. Also, "acting white" means dressing nicely, studying, wearing glasses, listening to any music that isn't R&B or hip-hop, being passive when challenged or submissive to authority, etc. These things are things that can help people get ahead, and they are rejected in African-American cultures. Also, blacks don't really have a lot of highly educated "heroes" that they can look up to--most of their icons are people who have a special talent, like Kobe or Oprah or 50. The average person of any color does not necessarily have a marketable talent and relies on education to get ahead, but the majority of black role models got lucky without much of an education. But I still have hope. I think that education among blacks is rising, and I hope that these well-educated blacks (like Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Obama Barrack) will form positive role models and encourage the young generation of blacks to pursue higher learning so that they can be successful. \n\nNo, they are not plain stupid, but sometimes logic does not come naturally but requires schooling. Without an education, someone may not be able to reason very well, giving the appearance of stupidity when their brain would actually be quite capable if it were taught.

Haha please don't call yourself "emo"\n\nPeople who are like that, want to be different to get attention. They dress all black and act like the world hates them just so they can start stuff. It's stupid.

True, I agree.  Blacks like to have special treatment and are always screaming 'discrimination' even though it does not exist.  When is the last time you heard an Asian, Caucasian, or Hispanic screaming 'discimination'?  It does not happen.  The majority of blacks are looking for a free ride and try to get this free ride through sympathy.  This is the only way they know how to operate.  If blacks want to be respected in this country, they need to earn their own respect (clean up their neighborhoods, teach their children good morals, etc).  Other races do not respect the black race as they are always complaining about some B/S discimination or spouting off about some other B/S instead of putting their heads down and earning themselves a good living and to teach their own community members the same.

firstly, not all black people alienate those who "act white". There are just some people who believe that there is a certain way to act and when they think that ur not acting like how they think u should act, u will be ridiculed. our society likes to label and categorize people, and we tend to just follow right along, and I think that its time that we develop our own opinions and stop allowing society to tell us how to define others and ourselves.

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.
