Is it normal to not like black people?
Only if you dont think they are on par with the other races or thinks thier race is superior. Saying that you dont like certain types of attributes and looks is different. It's not racism it's just preferences... extreme preferences.
That’s only true with the narrowest possible definition of racism. By any modern, common seven definition of racism, OP is absolutely a racist.
What do you mean narrowest possible definition of racism. My definition is the true definition of racism. Yours is the widest definition of racism.
That’s like saying cake isn’t food because food, by definition, has to be nutritious and cake isn’t nutritious so therefore, by definition, cake isn’t food.
Everybody knows cake is food and everybody knows not liking an entire race of people is racist.
I used to have a friend who's pet rooster would be friendly towards white people and attack anyone with dark skin. He even made a post about it here. I never understood why the rooster was like that. To answer your question, it's not normal. XD
Hahaha awww racist rooster.
I looked after a racist baby, once. Worst bit was, her mother's family were Sri Lankan. She was scared of all her mother's side of the family except mum and grandparents. I left before she started to recognise herself so Idk how she coped with realising her own skin colour haha.
Maybe the rooster grew up only being fed by white people? Also, this reminds me a little of how when I raised baby chicks, some of the inexperienced young ones would scratch at my arms/legs, likely thinking the skin was dirt.
Everyone preaches not to be prejudice but I guarantee you those same people lock their car doors when going into the black part of town. Statistically there is more crime in black neighborhoods (FBI table 12), so I try to stay out of them. With that said some of the nicest and most loyal friends I've had were black, but I still wouldn't be caught walking the streets of the black areas late at night.
Genetically, DNA proves there's no such thing as race, we're all humans and related to each other as well as to apes and other animals.
Ok, stick my head above the parapet...
I tend to mistrust black men in my country.
Young black men around my area are by and large the men flouting rules (like, don't smoke in the subway), making unwanted advances towards women and displaying aggressive attitudes in public. Most of them are Nigerian. I've caught myself wondering if perhaps they are actually less socially advanced than young white men. Now, I usually slap my hand for being racist and silence the thought in horror that I could imagine such a thing, but the question is still there and it won't go away. Yes, they were colonised and oppressed for years and years by whites. But before that happened, was Nigeria an oasis of freedom and equality? Could they ever have become one, if only white people hadn't got involved? I don't know and need to do my research. Looking at these angry young black men in town, I wonder - why is their aggression so overt? Why is there such a crude emphasis on dominance and penises? Not that young white men don't show aggression and dominance and misuse their penises too - but young white men at least try to hide the fact that they're acting like animals, unless they are from very dysfunctional and abusive or neglectful families.
I don't tend to see this in white or asian men. I sometimes see it in Algerians, but much less often, and it's often connected to radical Islam, which is a whole different issue.
My relative mistrust of black men is because of what I've seen. Maybe it's racist. But where I've seen antisocial or threatening behaviour happening in this very multiethnic city in which I live, it's usually being done by black men.
That being said, I can distinguish a Nigerian from a Cameroonian by their facial features. The trouble doesn't tend to come from them. I've also met and worked with Cameroonians whom I've got on quite well with. I've admired their courage and determination. But I tend to mistrust rather than trust Nigerians before I get to know them.
And then when I return to Britain I see black British man who are as British as I am and the colour of their skin almost registers like the colour of a person's hair. Almost.
I don't think it's racist if you're noticing patterns emerge. It's how humans learn things. I'm pretty sure that there are higher violent crime statistics around black men. I wouldn't beat yourself up about the conclusion you've come to. So long as you still vie people, regardless of ethnicity, in a way where you're willing to deal with them as human beings like you would any other race then I think you're fine.
Yeah, I don't like Nigerians either. That Nigerian prince that emailed me didn't give me my 10% cut of that 20 million dollar inheritance! I paid the 50,000 dollar fee that he needed to cash the check!
What if they aren't being a problem is it still the same or different? I can understand where you are coming from but I'm a black Latino.
I don't like to reveal that online, I'm afraid. I'm on mainland Europe though. Burying my head in the sand with regards to Brexit. I'm more foreign to this country than many of the black people who live have lived here for generations. They speak the language better than me.
I dont dislike any particular race just because of their race. What i dislike is immigration laws that allow an influx of culturally incompatible races. They create enclaves, ghettos and unrest. I believe western countries should only allow culturally similar races in. Arabs, asians and indians do not mix well in western society. Many dont even learn the language. Indians just seem to recreate third world conditions wherever they go living in large groups in small apartments etc and creating slum like neighbourhoods. Property prices plummet as a result. Indians and chinese have taken over entire districts where i live. They have bought out and started businesses and only employ there own kind. There are entire malls full of shops owned and run by chinese in which chinese shop. Theres something very wrong. Its not racist, its just common sense.
I am a black man and I can tell you this, yes it is normal don't feel bad about it, we don't care especially those of us still living in Africa.
I also hate some other races, top of the list is Indians... I also hate some other blacks especially those who are not members of my tribe
I'm not a fan of Indians either most just come off as assholes at least the ones I've meet and from what I've heard in India they are even worse.
Not gonna lie, after watching SomeOrdinaryGamers on YTB, this makes me sad. He's pretty "Westernized", though. I can understand why people would find the Indians who behave in accordance with the stereotypes of their culture to be unpleasant.
At one time about ten years ago I had three important Indians in my life.
I assume they weren't assholes then. I'm not saying all Indians just the ones I've dealt with and don't get me started on India.
Right on! I've never been to India. Have you ever been to India? I don't like the idea of that caste system bullshit.
never been but don't intend to like you said their caste based society is the reason why I'm not a fan.
Agreed... Caste system is worse and it affected society. Government banned caste system.few Indian hates Indian too.
There is diversity and many cultures all not same.
All I can say just like bad indians there are good Indian people.
if you see any Indian don't hate him without knowing him personally.
You didn’t give any extra information so it’s hard to say. I voted no but I do find myself making assumptions about other races or having racist thoughts then I have to consciously correct myself and remember that they’re all just people searching for happiness in this life just like I am.
Normal enough for a human. We all have our dislikes and biases. Maybe just stay the out of the way and keep your mouth shut though. No one needs you starting shit and causing exta friction irl because of your closed-mindedness.
Trump isnt racist though. Sure he might have a decent dose of old people racism. Though he doesnt show any signs now. People change and true businessmen only care about one color: Green.
It’s also not what anybody who has a fully functioning brain and knows who Trump is would say.
But if I don't like him but his actual policies are good, what other argument am I supposed to make? I need something!
His actual policies aren’t good, that’s the problem. They’re racist, just like him. That’s really all you need. As far as making an argument, I would advice against trying to argue with the vast majority of Trump supporters. You’d have more luck trying to educate a snake.
lol, I think the last sentence pretty much sums it up..... I don't know about you but personally I'd prefer a president whose inclined to value people over money rather than the other way around.
I perfer pure capitalism on the matters of buisness. If you dont want to serve blacks... fine but you will go out of buisness from normal people.
Fun little story I was stationed in japan and there were these little stores that catered to the general population but also to sailors. One of them was extremely racist to the african american sailors. Once we figured that out no sailor of any race went to that store and apparently it caused a lot of financial problems so the eventually moved out of the lucrative location. The stores also picked up on the closed down stores mistake thus African sailors tended to be more warmly greeted after that lil incident.
People are people. racism is a state of mind. There is trash in every bin so do not spread hate, spread love.
A lot of people will simply dismiss you as racist however, a lot of the reasons why you may have a dislike for black people is your experience with multiple black people and also it could be things you've read and heard that causes your dislike response. You may have just not met a black person that causes you to change your mind.
To (maybe) answer your question, what I personally don't like is their "victim-mentality." Yes, I obviously know the horrors of slavery, and how Jim Crow was only a TINY bit less brutal, if at all. However, plenty of other groups throughout history have been disenfranchised- Jews certainly come to mind.
While the aforementioned Jews have done everything in their power to make the best of their lives, many black (not saying the majority, but certainly more than there should be) seem to prefer living ghetto or borderline-ghetto lives over significant self-improvement, because many would rather blame whitey for society's ills than do what they can to make the best lives for themselves. Need I mention the number of baby mamas and NUMEROUS children that they have? Seems they almost enjoy being enabled by welfare.
Before any snowflakes call me racist, let me mention that I KNOW how there are plenty of sophisticated blacks who are extremely honest and hardworking and do whatever they can to be self-sufficient. However, stereotypes are based on commonalities, and so I understand why skepticism exists against African-Americans (or whatever country you're reporting from).
I believe it's the TYPE of Black people that you keep coming into contact with
:-(
I don't like self-centered people, I care about people who care about me, it has nothing to do with race.
Well it all comes down to this are you a racist? if you are then yes this is normal but if your not racist that's just being a hypocrite which racists are any way so yeah it's 100 percent garunteed normal....for racists, to hate black people so go to your bathroom shave your head and put a white sheet over your body........wait what?
