Why do people hate black people?

Every time I search up "black people" anywhere there is always a negative response. It always comes down to us being obnoxious and "ghetto". The people commenting these things always want to come off as such open-minded people, who are justified in their hating of a whole race "because they like hispanics and asians, but black people are just ignorant. I'm not racist, just observant". This is what makes black people expect racism in everyday life and seem racist ourselves. Am I overlooking things? Or IIN?

P.S. I'm black if you couldn't guess.

    IMO, black people are their own worst enemy. Popular "black culture" is instrumental in holding black people back. Where a black person doesn't adhere to that way of presenting themselves I've seen them to do very well for themselves.

    Of course, the situation is more complicated than with many moving parts. There is no simple solution and without many simultaneous changes nothing productive is likely to result.

    I honestly think the solution to race issues is enough inter-breeding that we're all the same color then the discrimination would shift to something else.

    Ignorance and fear are the main reason for racial hatred anywhere. But when you come out with statements like, "struggles of a black person", you lose me completely.
    There aren't any 'short cuts' in life. If someone of any color drops out of school for the 'easy money' that gangs or drugs offer, then they choose to leave mainstream society.
    Unless you are The Donald and daddy dumps a cool million bucks on you to begin your adult life, we all have to work hard and earn our way in this world. It really isn't a color thing. At least in the US, the opportunities are there.

      I know everybody has struggles. But here I was talking about the struggles we have based upon stereotypes, not JUST life struggles.

    Europeans in the Western world have historically been more business oriented and black people have historically been more socially oriented. You're seeing the descendants of people who were forced into a country where they have had to learn to accept and conform to a culture that is nothing like their own and shit just doesn't work out that way. They have been kept in poverty and up until this past century (make it more like 50-60 years) had to fight just for the right to attend the same public schools as white people.

    Despite the fact that there are still many blacks alive who remember when they were denied an education because of their skin color, mainstream society expects this rapid social change where families who were kept out of schools now need to suddenly appreciate what the civil rights movement has done for them.

    It doesn't work like that. Social change doesn't work like that and a lot of people do not realize that and choose to specifically target black people rather than to understand that the more you marginalize a group, the more you add to the issue. Racism is often innocent thought turned to actions and behaviors.

    We all tend to hate what we dont know....as people have more experience and familiarity with dofferent races and cultures they feel more comfortable around them....

    we also conflate poverty with race....many black people tend to live in impoverished areas that breed crime, ignorance, drugs etc...so people tend to see race as the cause of these negatives but it actually is poverty...

    another is resources...jobs, housing, educationetc..are resources...so people are in competition with each other for these resources and resent when other groups get these resources at the expenae of their own group......

    and then of course is racism which is a belief system usually perpetrated by some of the above which states that one race is superior to another

    Its because someone has to play the bad guy. Who else but the people with the darker skin and different hair texture from everyone? Others act ghetto and obnoxious, but in their own way. They are just better at hiding it. Plus, black people don't kiss ass either. So they're seen as rebellious. The black people that do just conform because they have no pride.

    People hate black people because it's easy to assume they are all culturally similar. Pretty dumb assumption if you ask me.

    I said at the bottom of my explanation that we expect racism, and seem racist for it. Some black people can be prejudiced, but don't put that on all of us.
