why SOME people judge you by your colour when...?

Some people are just hateful and want to find any reason they can to dislike other people.  Color is just a very easy way to divide people.

It is because you perceive differently from others point of view.

I strongly agree with u on every1 being equal. Seriously, thats how I think. I don't think that the color of a person determines how smart they are, or who they are. However, I think some people are racist because they see difference as something bad.

I hope you can show them that you are a better person then they are by ignoring their stupidity. We all need to give everyone a chance, if they blow it its their loss not yours !!\nDo not give up, there are alot of good people who are color blind, you dont want to miss out on meeting them.

Lovely, you're making a dangerous assumption.  It's called "intra-racial prejudice," and is indicative of a bias that you may personally hold.  Whenever we "hate" some quality in someone else, it is indicative of a hatred we hold for an aspect of ourselves.  And as long as people like yourself continue to perpetuate that old slavery mentality, we as a beautful people, will never overcome it.\n\nAs it happens, I do believe I'm beautiful, but my skin has nothing to do with it.  Have you never heard the expression, "Beauty is as beauty does."?  It's an oldie, but never more true than now.  Beyond superficial "prettiness," what about a person's inner beauty; and beyond that, their lasting beauty?  \n\nIf you can dig deep and find those qualities within yourself, you won't ask supercilious questions like that.  Be confident and beautiful in the skin that you are in, darlin'--the skin that God lovingly placed you in--and go forward into your destiny.  More importantly, concern yourself with the issues of "real" importance in your own life, and in life in general.  Then--and only then--will life's beauty unfold before you.  If not, very sad and empty days lay ahead.

I'm Indian and I I'm considered pretty by black, white, chinese, latin people.  but when it comes to indians...particularly women they can't seem to look past my skin color.  just because i might be a couple of shades darker than them i'm considered unattracive.  it's a horrible feeling to know that my own people have a problem with the way i look.  thanks for this question, hopefully some change will come with the indian mentality! :(

I've noticed that before. People from different races who remind me of someone I know. Something about facial feature or mannerisms.The skin might be different in color, but there is still a resemblance.

In my honest and humble opinion... I think the government is doing it to avoid a law suit or being labeled as prejudice themselves. The government isn't the ones that said hey im being discriminated against because of my race or nationality it is a few squeaky wheels that messed with the cog so much our government had no choice but to acknowledge there is a difference in skin tones. Its scary that people always blame someone else often our government for their short comings rather than accept that they aren't perfect, learn from their mistakes, move on, and try to become better people by learning from their mistakes.\n\n\nHave a GREAT day!

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.

It is all in the heart. I feel people who concentrate on color...ought to throw their crayons away..I am Native American...I want to be appreciated for me not my color. \nGod made us all VERY SPECIAL.

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.

because they're afraid of judgement.  they judge others because they feel judged themselves.  i hate people that don't like me, but i don't try to, it just occurs that way.  we can supress or express our hate, but it's still there.  people hate as often as they love.  the end... i suppose.

One of my dearest friends in h.s. was mixed.  The word we gave her?  Special.  Unique.  The color of your skin is just that - a color.  It has nothing to do w/ who you are inside where it counts.

because they are insecure and ignorant...don't you mind them, you know who you truly are, and if you can see their ignorance, then you are smart enough to rise above them  : )

They pretend coz they don't want to be called racist. Coz that makes you feel bad when people say that. My friend called me racist once and i got so cut. So yeah no one wants to look like a predjudice pic. Yeah that's why. Also some people feel sorry for blacks coz they know that they get treated different. Yup that's the most honest answer your gonna get. By the way all you people saying she is rasist and all that I think yous are correct but that's kinda slack. Its her opinion and she should be able to express it and question it. hmph....
