Is it normal to think black people are the most racist of all?

This is further proof of how a black person's personality will always land in a lose/lose situation. If one acts the way that most people THINK a black person should act, then they fit the role of the negative stereotype that all black people get. If a black person doesn't, then they are acting white or some other offensive name.

As for thinking that they are the most racist, think about history. Yeah, the history that they don't teach you in history books aside from "this is the time of slavery, hurray." The history that you "kinda" know but don't truly know unless you were either black during segregation or had parents that were. The history that caused most black people to simply not think about their culture hardly at all compared to other races. This history has caused not only personality differences in black people but continues to force opinions on them even when they have done nothing wrong. This IIN question itself continues to point fingers also but no one wants to think of what black people deal with even when trying to get a job, why that happens and from whom such dislike is coming from.

I was going to type out a well thought out answer but fuck it. Just... just fuck it, there's no point.

A lot you don't seem to understand so I will try to explain it to you. The reason why we have special programs for our youth, BET, TV One, and black history month is to celebrate the trial our people and our culture has gone through. A lot of young people (teens especially) do not have much confidence in themselves or pride in who they are. And like Paradiddle said, this is due to events in our history.

If you pay attention to the media, whether you want to admit it or not, it is typically the caucasian that is depicted as the most beautiful. Blonde hair and blue eyes is often associated as the pure true beauty or the all american girl. African American beauty is seldomly praised and dark skin is deemed as ugly. Channels like BET and TV One are not to exclude whites or any other race. It is to profess how superior we are. It is simply to celebrate our heritage and encourage our youth.

No. I do not think that blacks are anymore racist than any other race. I simply think that we want to support a race (our own race) that has been through many trials. We want to children to know that, just because they are black doesn't mean that they can't succeed. Beleive it or not, a lot of racism against blacks still does exist. Infact, not too long ago, I read many comments of people complaining about how the little girl in the movie "The Hungar Games" was black. Many people were outraged because she wasn't a little white girl. Don't believe me? Look it up.

In society, blacks are often depicted as "the thug", "the cheater", "ghetto" and, too many times "ignorant". What do you think this does to our youth? We are often deemed as the ugly race. Seldomly is a black woman considered beautiful in the media and, when she is, she is usually light skinned and has Caucasian features.

I think that if you understood why we did these things, you would not leave these comments and, OP, you would not leave this post. But you don't understand, and I wouldn't expect you to because they don't teach it to you.

My challenge to the majority of these people in these post is to do some homework. Look into black history, look into the crime rate, and the educational systems in primarely black neighorhoods. Look into why those neighborhoods are primarly black ot begin with and look at the media. Pay attention to who the American icons are. How many of them are dark skinned, wide nose, thick lips and considered beautiful? Look this stuff up and not with any arrogant mind but really try to learn and understand. These comments sadden me, but they are based off of ignorance. Look this stuff up before you make your statements, please.

As a black person myself, I never really knew much about my history, where I came from, or what my forefathers went through, but I joined a black youth group (one of those things you would probably consider racist) and I learned more about myself. I still don't know that much about my history and, I know that I should. But I don't because it isn't deemed as important in this nation which is why we teach to ourselves, thus black groups for young black people and channels like TV1.

Anyway, that's why we have black history month and channels and stuff. It isn't because we want to rub in the white man's face what was done to our people a hundred years ago or any of the bullshit. It is simply to encourage ourselves and teach our youth something that isn't taught enough in schools.

If you read this whole thing, thanks for reading it. I hope you understood what I was trying to say.

Come to Australia and have to put up with aboriginal people calling every white person that walks past a "white mingala" and screaming "it's my land!" at you.
It's racist, the whole stolen generation thing happened years ago and our former prime-minister apologized for it. I didn't take no land, just like they didn't ever pick no cotton.

If we had a channel that was called White Entertainment Television, we would get so much shit for it.

How much do you want to bet OP is American and this is based entirely on OP's experience living in America? How much do you want to bet OP hasn't even considered the millions of black people outside the US?

I hate that shit too. Black people are always throwing around sayings like 'token' or 'uncle tom' or 'acting white' to insult any black person who doesn't act the loud ghetto ass black stereotype.

All i can say is thank f**k i live in scotland, bring that shit here your getting kicked back to london,

Also is it true they have miss black america?
Black music awards?
Honouring awards for best african american?
And more?

Is there a white awards as above? Or would that be racist?

Tbh i do have a solution for the world but cant be arsed explaining it, but lets start sending the likes of obama (smart man) to kenya and run that country,

I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to jump into this conversation because a conversation about racism just never seems to go well... Ever! But I will give it a shot and try to remain as objective as possible.

From what I have seen, everyone is arguing based on their beliefs, their truths, their shoes, that their opinion is probably fact.

My experience in life shows me every race has the potential to contain a few racist persons, doesn't matter our background or colour, we all have history, every race has a story or struggle.

It is when we try to compare struggles or place blame on those who we believe are the cause of our struggles, we end up with racism because everyone is arguing they suffered greater.

I would never tell anyone to be proud of their race or to detest it. I would tell them to be proud of themselves, who they are and of how they look regardless of colour.

We should never ignore history bit we shouldn't let it blind us or lead us either. Why not just judge someone on their personality or the way they treat the persons around them as an individual instead of forcing them to represent their race? We are all individuals, are we not? Should we carry the burden of our race in everything we do? Is that the life we want for ourselves, our families, the weight of our entire race?

I was considering putting my race, but I'm not speaking for my race I'm speaking for me.

You people are a joke. I try to talk to you in a civil fashion and I'm met with THIS garbage. Really, and you expect folks like me to believe that WE'RE the irrational ones? Nice try.

I'm through.

Just to throw this out there, I was born in South Africa and my family moved to the United States when I was a kid. My ancestry is as European as anyone in a former colonial nation, but from a technical stance, I am in fact an African American.

Yes, and it is one of the most tragic phenomena that mankind has ever known. Throughout hundreds and hundreds of years of African history millions of Africans have been led to believe that they were an inferior race. A sub-human species. And they were treated like animals. Worse than animals. It is only natural that these people came to accept such lies as if they were facts. Even though society has progressed, we still have so far to go.

It's not all " black people". They have be racially discriminated their whole life and so has their ancestors. They aren't being racist because that would be hypocritical. There might be a hint of dislike for what they had to go through. There blaming anyone. Or hating. If think put your self in their shoes, which many people can't cause they just don't understand. In all they're not being racists you just feel that way being they aren't exactly nice to you cause you're Caucasian. Which is singling out your self.

dont agree that black people are the most racist

I find that they are, they have it soo pegged that whites are and they're always pulling the race card. They have BET (black ent ch) and black history month, where the fuck is white history month? Seems like only whites can be racist but black people and even mexicans seem more racist than whites. At least where I live (los angeles)

Thats bollocks.

Black people are by far the most racist. Also, conveniently, they're also the first to cry RACISM at the top of their voice when it suits them.

This doesn't even deserve one of my rants.

My shadow is an insufferable racist. Sickening.

It's definitely NOT white anglo saxon people. We are the only people with diverse countries, we are the only countries that strive for equality of any kind at all in fact. THE ONLY. I think people have got it extremely wrong.

I think that this is just stereotypical.

What a litany of bullshit

I wouldn't say black people are racist, but the fact is, it is going to be more politically correct for a black person to say something racist about a white person than a white person to be racist about a black person.
If you think about it, it is considered racist/sexist/whatever to talk about any type of person who has been discriminated against in the past.
Black people were slaves, obviously discriminated against a lot, so now it is pretty racist to say anything about them.
Other examples jewish people, who were obviously discriminated against in the war, so I think its often not very politically correct to say things about jewish people, yet they will say bad things about christian people.
And finally, women were also discriminated against in the past, so, though there are exceptions, like the whole kitchen thing, you might notice wives can say anything about men, like they are dumb, lazy, bums, second children and whatever, and can hit their husbands without consequence, yet husbands rarely say or do anything like that to their wives unless they want to be known as sexist and go to jail...

YES BECAUSE THEY ARE
