I am a 18 year old black/female alot of you’ll are mean with some white people it’s there way or torching your behind they go, but again alot of white know it cant always be about you or your way. Black people act the same way sometimes. We all have are mean streaks some more than others. We need to learn to get along, look on the inside and not the outside. White and black people are sometimes afraid of other races for whatever reason whether its maybe they’ll be better than me, maybe they wont like me if I like them, whatever the reason is its stupid. Alot of black people are mad because of slavery but I remind my people that we are not in slavery, mentally maybe but not phsycally. I thank GOD my saviour everynight for releasing my ancestors from slavery. I thank some of the whites that help get rid of it.

There is not one country in this world that did not get done wrong by white people. There are mean non-whites also, but for the most part whites did and continue to do the most damage.

You see hat you see because white people are in control. As far as government and everything. Wht would a black peson defend a white racist?? Does that make since to you?Also black people can’t be racist. In order to be racist u have to have power and well we just don’t.But prejudices we do have. And usually it is toward a white person because of again history. The slavery and such things like that.it is just the way people have made it.Also when u say seeing it on t.v. do u mean the news or regular t.v.?people seriously believe the white man is holding the black man back and in some aspects it is very true!

Name : Kym, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : Black/African American, Religion : Christian, Age : 16, City : lancaster, State : TX, Country : United States, Occupation : school, Education level : Less than High School Diploma, Social class : Middle class,I think the reason why whites might appear more racist is that currently, much of the economic and political power is controlled by countries with large white populations. Therefore, whites are more capable of imposing their will on other peoples. I have to wonder though: if black Africans had been the ones to conquer and colonise much of the world, what would we think about blacks today?

Name : A. B., Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Bisexual, Race : Black/African American, City : Mangrove, State : NA, Country : Barbados, Occupation : Student, Education level : 2 Years of College,The parents of Yusef Hawkins-murdered by a white mob in Bensonhurst, NY The family of Eleanor Bumpurs-an elderly woman shot dead by NY police Abner Louima-broken toilet plunger shoved into his anus by NY police-his spleen was destroyed and removed The family of Michael Stewart – murdered by NY police officers; his crime was defacing a subway car The family of Amadu Diallo – shot at 41 times; killed by 19 of those bullets by NY police The family of the black man chased onto oncoming traffic on the Belt Parkway by a white mob NY undercover Black officer shot by a white NY police officer…of course the white officer thought the black officer was a ‘criminal’. The black officer survived. The family of the black man who was tied behind a pick up truck and dragged to his death…his body parts were found for miles The descendents of countless numbers of Blacks in this country via lynching…for no reason, other than that they were black The families of the men who suffered via the Tuskegee Experiments – men who were deliberately allowed to die from syphillis…the doctors told them they were being treated, when in fact, they were given placebos…sugar pills. Now do you still need to ask that question?

History can always prove ‘this and that’, but its not about history- its about the present. What you saw one TV was just entertainment. One can’t hold a storyline accountable for reality. With so many backgrounds and personalities, its very difficult to single out a race being ‘the most _insert adjective__’ We are all inside a melting pot. Besides that, scientific research has proven that one’s skincolor is not their race. Race is tracked through something deeper than hair texture or skin color. No matter what color, anyone can be just as mean.
