Statistics matter, actions matter. If the statistics state that I am more likely to be mugged/murdered by a black person then a white, why would I not be allowed to judge them based upon that? I do not know them personally and the probability is high why should I risk my safety on the chance that I might offend a person who is not one of those statistics? Your feelings or my life which is more valuable to me? I think its fairly obvious. The real issue is, if you statisticly are more likely to be violent because of your ethnicity the response should not be do not judge all of them based upon the behavior of the many, it should be calling out that behavior, telling the black community to get its shit together and stop dragging you and every other decent black person down with them. You stop the statistics with your actions, you call out the community and demand that they become better either through your actions, by you calling them out when you see it or even by simply leaving that community and joining another. The fact is this has always been how it worked, it happened to the irish, it happened to the itallians it happened to every group that wished to acclimate into the larger society. You take care of your own house, neighborhood and if you can show that your things are in order then the society as a whole will let you in. As I said their was extreme racism against the irish (they where slaves too, something we like to ignore) thats why they where rail workers because no one would hire them for anything else but they made sure they had their act together and eventually they proved their worth to the society as a whole. Same with italians, they where all criminals as far as society was concerned thanks to the mafia. So they cracked down, it didn't matter who it was if you did wrong they would cut you out, they would call out your behavior to show that no they where not all criminals, once they did this they to where excepted into society as a whole. However for some reason this process is resisted by the black community, they do not call out bad behavior, they scream injustice when their clearly is not, constantly claiming victim hood when they clearly where not (trevon martin case is an example of one of those events). So no one is calling out the behavior so it conintues. No one is callign out the single mother issues in the black community so it only gets worse, or the drugs and violence. So if you do not condemn it then you are by extention condoning

I don't hate Blacks, I hate Black Lives Matter or as I prefer to call them Black Lies Matter.
This group as well as rappers hurt the overall image of Black people by making them appear as rioters, people with a victim mentality, and people who can't hold a job or their pants.
I've met great Black people who are nothing like the aforementioned groups. Will Smith and Morgan Freeman are two of my most favourite actors, Chris Rock is a funny guy and Neil deGrasse Tyson is a brilliant astrophysicist. These are the people that need to be shown in main stream media not those thugs that give all Black people a bad name.
I LOVE THIS! You know why, because you actually get people who write in like, really, people don't like black people? What? That's crazy? Let's get real. We are the most hated race on the planet, probably only second to anyone next in line on the dark-o-meter. You've got one party that thinks we're all just out here playing victims, you've got another section that's just plain and simple, racist as hell, then you've got the group that says things like "I'm color blind" which is stupid and untrue and often use every opportunity to point out something different b/t us/them, and then you've got people who have family or are dating one of us or biracial, so they can't really be any of the above, and then you've got other, that lovely section of other that just treats us like normal human beings just trying to make it in this world like everyone else. NO one has legitimately argued why it is we aren't globally and universally of all the races, the most hated racial group, b/c there is not argument against it.
Now just because I've pointed out, and you asker have pointed out, the obvious doesn't mean I'm bitter towards the entire world and everyone in it. It also doesn't mean there aren't nice, loving, respectful, wonderful people of all races. What it does mean is that despite all that, and those wonderful people, ahem, we are STILL of all the races the most universally loathed.
People a are assholes and there are a lot of people alive in the 50's and that time period, older people, that think it's okay, and they project that into their children. It's sad but I'm hoping one day there will be no projecting it because it's such an outlandish and outdated disgusting thing, racism. I'm sorry you feel this way. I'm white and I can't imagine how much racism an average black person faces. It's so heartbreaking. But we don't all hate you, even if sometimes it feels like many other races hate blacks, there are still lots of good people out there who hate racism. Bad thoughts tend to overpower good and especially meonories so I can imagine it feeling like everyone hates on black people.
I feel like it may hinder you to believe that everyone outside of your race hates your race. I say that because then you might not give people outside of your race a chance to show you that they aren't all that way what so ever. Prejudice and racism knows no color - meaning there are bad people and good people in every nationality. To form your own opinion based on your personal experience and not accept other people's (or mass media's) beliefs as your own is probably best. Focusing on racism only continues the separation. I hope this made sense lol.
I don't hate black people. When I graduated from high school, one of my friends is black and she was screaming for me really loud. I love her to death she always makes me laugh and she spoke at the graduation she gave a great speech. Here is an ice cream to make you feel better. 🍦

Black guy here. The world isn't nearly as cruel as it can seem. There is hate in the world but there is often a lot more love and appreciation. I grew up in Alabama and often was the only black kid in my classes. I've seen racist things with my own eyes that some people think ended years ago. I've experienced racist behavior first hand to the point where I thought my life was at risk. But day after day I meet people who treat me with kindness from all walks of life. It's really easy to be caught up and broken down by the negative sides of life. But what's always important to remember is you only focus on those things because they feel so abnormal, shocking, and wrong. The negatives are the small broken cracks in an overall peaceful reality but your brain's a natural problem solver that's inclined to look for and focus in on the problems. Take the time to look back on all the kindness that's been showed and overtime you'll notice it overshadows the hatred by far.
Also spend less time on the Internet. Anonymity is often just a way for people to express the most antisocial sides of their personalities without much repercussion.
And lastly if none of that helps do what I do and make it a life goal of yours to change as many people's stereotypes about people like you as possible. Work to show them you are good human too.Some people hate black people for the usual racist reasons. Others are mostly afraid of them, especially because it is so easy to have your social and professional life ruined by being labeled as "racist" on camera. Everyone else is just tired of all the division between races that should have been expunged decades ago, or they simply don't care either way.
For me, I date black women exclusively. They are the only race that really pings on my sexual attraction radar. And I get a lot of flack for it because I'm white (I'm a mutt actually but for simplicity's sake, I say white and roll with it). Most of the time, that flack comes fro black dudes and black women, the former looking at me like I'm crazy for doing so and the latter trying to decide if I'm joking or trying to use my "whiteness" to pick up sistahs. Not to mention the pickings are quite slim here in Tennessee.
I don't hate black people. I do hate the assholes that keep pulling the race card for everything that goes bad in their lives and those jerks that make money off the ignorant by race-baiting the populace. Al Sharpton, for example, needs a swift boot in the ass and to be taken off the air.Thanks for the update - that makes me feel better. There have always been racial problems but frankly, they got a lot worse. When Obama was elected, there was a few months there when people talked about the triumph of equal opportunity and that sort of thing. Then racism really shot up in frequency. Perhaps this was a coincidence. Perhaps it was merely that racism was reported more frequently and publicly. But I really don't think so. There was a huge backlash of some sort to his election, just as there was to Lincoln's election. The intensity of hatred towards him and absolute unwillingness to acknowledge him as the President is not tied to his politics or his personality. Even the refusal to allow him to fill the Supreme Court seat is without precedent. All this seems to be largely racial. It spawned a kind of counter-reformation fed by the conservative media and ambitious politicians. Who can say when it will finally die down.
I wonder if Hillary is elected whether there will be a backlash against women?That is a wonderfully written opinion. The black community does have some big problems. One reason is there are political groups in this country that patronize blacks and sadly, many blacks buy into their bull shit. They think they really want and intend to help them but they do not. They have an interest in keeping them "down" because it gives them power and lots of money too. There is racism in this country. Every group is hated and every group has haters. Just yesterday a young black man on this site basically expressed it was ok to hate white people but white racists are evil. It seems like that is a very commonly held believe in the black community. Certainly not all feel this way and I would never assume that. Any hate is bad and every race has racists. It's so sad that blacks in America are where they are but I don't know what anyone can do until blacks themselves try to do more to improve the things that are wrong. If any other person of another race tries to say anything they see as helpful or could be helpful, if it's anything beyond what's commonly believed in the black community, they are racist when that's almost never the case. Some of them really want to help but if they are just demonized, they quit and that also discourages others from wanting to help. I don't know. It's a bad situation. I know there's great black people. You sound like one and I'm sorry that you're so troubled. I wish there were some black leaders that could help but either they want to continue with the status quo or if not, they're "uncles Tom's". Sad, sad.
I live in a rural, almost exclusively white area and our crime watch group has a few black members who are very well respected and participate in our meetings. We value their input greatly and treat them as equal members of our community. So to say that everyone hates black people is a stretch, to say the least.
I've had the most bad experience with blacks and middel easter/brown people.
I've been robed at gunpoint during teens and black friends always never return the favor to keep the friendship going etc. its how they are raised...
middle easterners and brown dudes are always putting up a sneaky front. they are sorta sweet with their words but have no accountability and often talk way too much... and will backstab you for an opportunity.
its not just TV etc.
you can find many personaly testimony and numbers dont lie... and I've read stats based on race in north American and blacks and Spanish haven't moved up at all in the last 40 years...
Asian americans will be richer than white americans very soon... think about that.I think you kind of answered your question yourself a couple times in your post. I know there are racist people out there of all races.
Personally, I have dated a black woman, and my best boss was a black man. So nothing wrong with your race, just people in general need to chill out and be more accepting.I understand where you're coming from I'm a black girl that goes to a mainly white school therefore most of my friends are white not everyone hates black people but I do believe that another of other races have preconceived notions about black people but it doesn't matter what people think about u if you know who you are
I LOVE black people as a whole! If fact, as many here know, I'm married to a black woman. If not for the contributions of Black Americans to our culture, I'd just get outta Dodge altogether! Black women are top shelf!
I was not aware that 'everyone hated black people'.
Libtards and the social justice warriors would call me a racist, but I do not 'hate' black people.
I recognise the self-evident and documented differences between the races. That does not give me cause to 'hate' anyone.Honestly my only problems with "black people" if we generalize is the often used victimization of self. I know not everyone is like that but I really don't want to have to back out of every argument or disagreement with a "I'm sorry" because the other person decided to play the race card and now I'll be an asshole if I do not automatically let them win.
Basically I'd be happy to be equal, but that's usually not what happens. Can't have the cake and eat it too. That's all.The media only shows race division because it's most sensational. Most Americans have friends of multiple races now. :)
Somehow, because of the race war rhetoric that drives click bait, the only people that seem to be talking are the extremists on both ends. When that's in everyone's face all the time, they feel sensitive to judgement and criticism.
But really, in my day to day life, I see cool people of all shades getting along great.I don't hate them :o I just hate the situation I see them in such as wealth, education, and etc
I don't hate anyone except Orlando Bloom so I don't know dude.
Lol I only hate people who are backstabbing bitches and that happens to be independent on skin colour or race. Poor little creatures though, didn't know who they were messing with 😈😚
I don't. I met Kevin Durant the other month. I about died of a heart attack from fangirling him.
a lot of people look down on and have prejudices towards black peoples. but a hell if a lot more people actually hate white peoples. europeans and their descendants get blamed for a lot of the world issues, some justifiably so, many not.
I don't hate black people. Some of my closet friends are black.
I get to know a person first, and their character is a a deciding factor of whether i choose to like them or not, regardless of the colour of their skinI don't hate anyone for being black. I like or dislike people based on the content of their character. It sucks being judged for no reason so why would I do that to others?
Your just annoying.
Stop whining. Not everyone hates you. Racism is dead.
