I hate being black and wish i was white is it normal?

Hmmm, well I'm a black male and although I haven't seen nearly as much hatred as my grandparents/parents, I've seen my fair share. Even so, I don't hate anyone. I don't like ppl in general but there is no hate from me. It's easy to hate someone. It takes strength to, instead, get to know them before judging them. I, for one, like white girls, metal music, golf, art, intellectual debates regarding the universe's great mysteries, and my name is Aaron. My point is this; it's not easy being a minority but it isn't the end of the world. You can sit and hate and be miserable, or you can make something of yourself. I'm striving to be a professional golfer. What will you do?

Stop feeling sorry for yourself because your black. It's not a handicap. If you use that as an excuse then you're no better than the people you dislike. If you want to date white men then date white men. If you want to stop sucking in somebody else's hard earned money that you don't deserve then get a halfway decent education and your black skin will start work to your advantage. Almost all companys are required to retain a certain percentage of black employees to avoid an inevitable lawsuit. When they find one who is educated and talks normal they will snatch you up.

to be honest i used to bitch about the cards i was dealt... then i turned 14. even if you don't like it you should take pride in who you are, you can't change it and bitching gets you nowhere, take shit from no-one and go out and get what you want if it really is so important to you.

Dont worry about skin color so much lol. But seriously its not that abnormal. I come from a lower income white family and lived in primarily black areas all my life. I have seen black girls say the same thing you just said, just usually not in public, so its not like youre the only one. But to be honest (coming from a white guy) it really dosent matter that much, and im sure you can find someone who will care for you and like you the way you are.

I wish I could meet you- I'm mixed but I know how you feel

This isn't normal and you should seek some sort of help. To be racist, whether it is against other races or your own is simply stupid. You dislike someone because of their genetic make-up? I'm sorry, but anyone that does this is an idiot. There are black people that are smarter than any Chinese or Whites or other races I have ever met. There are also some that are straight up stupid. The fact is, you haven't met all the black people in the world. And just like you can't tell what the inside of a house is like before you enter, you can't tell what a person will be like until you interact with them. The truth is, racism is illogical. All it does is make ignorant people comfortable in their ignorance. I understand that blacks generally have it harder than Whites and some other races...but, so? All my black friends are well respected and appreciated, they have worked hard to be where they are.

If you have time to bitch about this, why not instead try to effect some positive chance, since you obviously know everything that's wrong about your race. But you probably won't...no...all you care about is being on the winning side, right?

Sad.

-D

If you white to be white, just act like you are, but you can't change your skin color unless you go bleach yourself. Yeah.. im proud of being black, wouldn't have it any other way.

omg u dont wish u were white, u wish u ppl would treat u better. Take charge of ur life!

I wanna be black

I was thinking that blackpplsuck was posting a hoax from the very start. There's too much inconsistent grammar usage, like they're trying to write the same way that black people stereotypically talk in one post. But then in another post, the grammar is much improved. Nice try, but I don't believe it.

I'm a black female and have damn near had the same view as you before. I still don't appreciate people of my race who keep the black stereotypes alive by their actions. It tends to make me feel ashamed and then angry. I've been called beautiful all my life but its really not about how other people see me if I'm still uncomfortable. Its about being beautiful to myself. I no longer have a hatred for black people or being black. I talk proper, have long natural hair, and have interests in things that most other black people don't and I get criticized for it, but I have adopted a "don't give a f*ck" attitude. What has helped me is dressing and acting how I want, not labeling myself, and not caring about what other people are doing or thinking. It has made my self-esteem skyrocket and I'm a lot more content with life.

No....your problem is you. Not your skin.

I am SO GRATEFUL I'm not Black! On the other hand, I can'tr play the Race Card to get whatever I want.

Who doesn't want to be white?

you are normal to me because i know others like you.
You still gotta hold your head high though.
Confidence is a good thing.
Study your fucking ass off....and okami (51106) hit the nail on the head.

Of course this is normal.
Being black, you're the scourge of the Earth. Those who proclaim "I'm proud to be black" take on the same attitude as a thief among thieves, criminals among criminals, and idiots who are proud to be stupid.
Don't be fooled.

The best you can do is know that you're black and, if you wish to turn everything around, be strategic in your approach to people. Among blacks, you're an enemy as the "crab" mentality prevents others from wishing you well (except if you're dragging them with you]. Among other races, you're "one of them" and will cast under a cloud of low expectations. There are pro's and con's in both situations: blacks you associate with offer support. "Others" offer personal and professional advancement. But if you're not careful, you can end up on the wrong end of this duel-edged sword.
It sucks, but do your best to stay tough (another positive of being black).

What about being brown.

I really can understand you cause the way you hate being black I hate my nationality but if i can hide what country i come from you cant hide your skin colour first I am white and dont see any differences between black and white and second if you dont want to be unhappy all your life then try to look from different side.See how many famous and talented people there are out there and also never show anyone that you are ashamed of being black even if you are.Good luck

In the current climate of open hatred of white people on all levels of televised media and social media, it is clearly far better to be black. Blacks are enjoying a period of the complete infallibility of their anti-white anti-American ideals. It's not even a contest, it is far better to be black in America than white. All white people have to look forward to is the racist statement that all of our accomplishments can be distilled to a single phrase, "white priviledge". Blacks are racist as fuck.

It is not normal to dislike your own kind, they are an extension of your family and nation. It IS normal to loathe anyone who puts you in a negative light or defiles your culture. In the medical field I have had a chance to meet many African immigrants. Many of them absolutley despise American blacks for the same reasons you mentioned. Possibly you could find your soul and like minded people in the motherland. Stay true to your heritage and leave the white boys alone.

For just two examples of the many well documented cases of black achievements being suppressed, Google, if you haven't already, Vivian Thomas (medicine) and also watch the well-acclaimed movie "Something the Lord Made". Very enlightening. Also research Marlon Dewitt Green and David Harris(airline transportation), who both deserve our recognition. Then many of you will see what many blacks were up against for pretty much most of our country's history up until maybe 25 - 30 years ago. I know there are many more opportunities now days but during those struggles, not to mention the vicious Jim Crow laws, perhaps many blacks became discouraged, disenfranchised, and ultimately may have given up all hope in achieving success in society. Those heartbreaks may have led to the broken families and communities we now see in many inner cities. I know other races have also struggled but I personally feel that no other race has been so uniformly and perpetually deterred from achieving success like blacks have been in the U.S.

One cannot say, however that blacks lack the brains or the abilities to achieve great success in American society in the 21st century.

Be proud of who you are regardless of whether or not the original poster of this thread was really black or not... it doesn't matter except to show possibly that some people are hateful and relentless in their evil pursuits to spread propaganda.

Look forward to tomorrow even though we are ALL in a world of trouble now. The religious battles, if you know what I refer to are what we really should be worried about in the upcoming years. Keep your eyes open. We hopefully will stand together as the HUMAN race to triumph in the end.

I love ALL of you!

Hi there colored people. All I have to say is be nicer to white people. They are the product of your "self hate" it sucks to see all of your close relatives struggle there whole life against time as we age faster than any other race. It sucks to see all colored excel in sports, prevalence, and relevance. There is nothing we can do accept live a short quite life and then die. If you all believe you have been given a "shitty" hand then you are more out of touch then the whitest blondest skinniest of us all. I work on a farm in the sun all day during the summer and turn a slightly darker version of my natural self. Every day in doing so gives me a reflection of my true potential and identity. The grocery store is full of colored people and I have to walk my aging white mother around through colored crowds to buy common groceries. Blacks in America aren't slaves anymore.. So please get over it. You are the majority in the cities that were built and founded on the backs of European settlers. Just be happy that you out fucked the whites and stop complaining. If you want to be white then do what Michael jackson did, maybe you'll end up like him (very unhappy). For those black girls that don't like black men, I promise you there are plenty of lonely white guys in the world and of other races as well. Color is who we are as a people, we all just need to accept it and stop messing with destiny.

You need serious help! Do not loop all black people together. I was born in my skin and I love it! Just because you have issues with your skin and the few black people you know take that up with them. It's your fault if you are poor and on welfare you control your activities. Seek help for your disease!

Hi,

Moses's wife was black, there are blacks in the Bible. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of. Your Heavenly Father is pleased with what he made. I realize you may not be religious but this post is meant to encourage and uplift you, not to lecture you.

Know you are loved by your creator. meditate on the fact that you are a loved creation.

The original poster isn't Black. That is patently obvious. Read that fantastical bullsh!t again. Stop validating an obvious racist spreading more and more prejudice.

You are a sad person that is only capable of disgusting propanda to feel good about yourself. You're sad and pathetic and those that fell for this letter are those that are exactly like you and want to desperately for all the disparaging comments and wishies to be true, in order to feel special.

Your skin color defines you, because you have no personal successes that define you as special.

What a small world you live in.

This is 100% normal.

It's not in your imagination that being black sucks. It does. Most of society hates us. We have less of everything positive (money, property, self-sustaining culture) than any other race.

It's hard enough to just be different.. a minority usually wishes to be one of the majority... "normal." But even harder to be one of the hated... the looked down on... the spat upon... the ugly ones.

HOWEVER... at my ripe old age, I've learned to accept the reality of the situation... and if I have to work 10 times harder to be paid a fair price, then I will. If I have to be 10 times kinder, to be considered a decent human, then I will.

Yes, we've been dealt a very shitty hand. And we cant change that. And we could rightfully and justifiably spend many years crying about it. But life is very fuckin short. We get a brief moment to enjoy this earth and world. And I'm strong and wise enough to do what it takes to make sure this life is a rich and beautiful party full of love and laughter.

What many people dont know is that we got unique powers... hidden talents... untapped magical potential! It's time to show the world our power. It's time to win as ourselves.

Black people are rich in emotion... maybe more so than any other race. Pungent in art; rich in creativity... I believe if the world was comprised only of white people, they would greedily fight and destroy the whole world to get more... to have more... to take and absorb everything without really "feeling" the universe within them. WE feel that... because we are so rich in feeling. They think they feel it... but they're too coldly calculating to feel the way we do. Their cold calculations build their successful societies... but our rich black creative souls are the true hearts of humanity. Souls, broken... but strong and rich in feeling.

Barack Obama has shown us how the beauty and richness of our dark hearts can triumph over the cold, powerful white ones.
Losing or hating yourself lets THEM win.

THEY would be happy to see you broken in the mud... crying and wallowing is self hate. Seeing that makes them feel better about themselves... superior... and they have happier lives from your misery. Dont let them win. Take a good look at the shitty hand we've been dealt and figure out what you gotta do to win.

Wow this is absolutely un believable... It is those like you who give blacks a bad look. Blacks are amazing people. If you traveled out of your SMALL TOWNS and into the REAL WORLD you would see so. Whites are not all good. They are the ones who divided this country and altered the views of others just because of jealousy! They tell blacks to go back to Africa as if this is their country when it's NOT.They came from EUROPE! They stole this land from the Native Americans and called a peace treaty over some turkey and call it THANKSGIVING! They also stole the blacks from Africa and caused major corruption! You should be PROUD of who you are! Without blacks this country would NOT be what it is today..The very CELL PHONE you talk on is created by a black man, the STOP LIGHT, the CLOCK, DISHWASHER, The LIGHT BULB was created by Lewis Latimer and do to those extremely racist times he sold the patent to Thomas Edison who later got the credit for something he didn't create! Same goes for the original TELEPHONE/ TELEGRAPH it was created by Granville T. Woods.. Who also created the ROLLER COASTER but later sold the telephone patent to Alexander Graham Bell.. The list goes on it would be hard to operate in our daily lives without those inventions.. The first man to ever attempt open heart surgery was black.. Not only was he the first to attempt it, it was successful!! Instead of searching for all the cons of your race look for the good as well! It's about time we come together as one! And it's about time for you to get a JOB and an EDUCATION and stop looking for validation from the white man and be the very beautiful strong individual you were created to be. Last but not least all blacks are not ugly and all whites are not beautiful.. Remember BLACK DON'T CRACK! (MEANING BLACKS AGE WELL) When whites get old and wrinkled blacks skin is still spotless and baby smooth..

the men whho treated you that way are stupid and ignorant if the cant love their black sisters!u just stay strong and waite for the rigth man. i myself love my beutiful chocolate girlfrien! it makes me sad that u can talk like that about ur own people!

I truly feel sorry for you, no offense. I'm half south asian and half black, it dosen't really matter what you are, just make something of yourself.

Then again... I'm half of something that I can be proud of. So I probably will never know how you truly feel.

Maybe you should get some help, best of luck to you :).

Oh, and you should go to Canada, Canadians aren't racist like most (NOT ALL) Americans :P If you ever can afford it.

You are a very ignorant. Go to the highest builing and jump. Self hatetrict is a damn shame, you take low self esteem to a whole nother level. You must of never really had a powerful inspiring black woman. To show you that black womrn is the most beautiful. Example Beyonce, Michelle Obama, Vanessa Willams, Tyra Banks are constantly inspirational. So learn to love yourself.

This is absolutely disgusting you are disgusting to insult your own race like that is the most ignorant thing of all I'm black and proud of it I'm not on welfare and never have been I know plently of white's who sag and are as ignorant as they come.I really hope this is some kinda joke because if your serious you should seriously seek help.
