Question

do white girls think they are better then black girls?

um okay. I'm biracial black girl if it matters but here is my answer...

Of course some do, some don't. Same for black girls, asian girls, etc.

I also think you would have to be more specific still. better in terms of what? Oh okay I see you put down opportunities, etc. but I would still say that is kind of just brushing the surface. I mean white women do have more opportunities, more varied media portrayals, get more respect by default, are seen as more beautiful than black women, etc. that has nothing to do with whether or not each white girl personally thinks she is better than black girls, its more a matter of can every single white girl resist what she has been taught? White women are taught that they are by default better than black women. sure, not many of their parents sat them down in pre-school and said "okay honey see that little n***** over there? she has nothing on you" but it is very much implied in our society that they are without even having to say or think it yourself. just a thought.

i think on a subconscious level a hell of a lot of us as americans (if you are american, sorry I just assume these things ) think white women are better on one level or another. even in the black community which is a damn shame. you see lighter skin being praised by black people, we establish ideals on what "good hair" is and insist that our children relax their hair straight or hell at least put a texturizer on those naps lol, etc. I see that kind of...what can we call it? racism against self? well whatever you want to call it, I see it everyday. black women buy into the fact that they are "less than" and that white women are "better than" when it comes to beauty. skin bleaching creams are really popular in a lot of countries with predominantly black populations (asians use it way more though believe it or not). people seem so shocked when they see a black girl with natural kinky hair because hardly any black women want to wear their hair natural. they all relax their hair, get a blow out, or just weave it up. if black women have internalized that kind of racist spirit which has been passed down through centuries of mental oppression themselves (on top of other very real issues involving race like socio-economics and crime, etc.), what makes you think its even a question if many white women don't feel the same way ?

just my 2 cents. ;)

oh there was a mini-documentary called a "girl like me" about beauty and being black. the girl filming re-did the whole "black doll, white doll" test. I like seeing those things because I think children represent a very real, raw version of many of us. they haven't yet learned how to lie about their feelings or to themselves out of guilt or attach the b.s. onto the truth like so many of us do as we get older.

The racist, insecure, arrogant ones who have been taught that they are do. I would dare to say that most of them don't. I'm multiracial (Black, Chaldean, Native-American and Asian). I'm not racist, never have been and never will be. I've had White female friends (2 or 3 of them were Blonde) and they were (showed it in words and actions) by my beauty. All the women in my family are drop dead stunning (Not bragging. Just being honest. And I know I'm not superior to anyone).

They would always clique up and act as if I wasn't there sometimes. They'd rarely ask me what I wanted to do that day. It was always about this one girl Tonya whom they favored. I was a very sweet girl, just a bit quiet. One day they all turned on me for no good reason.

Tonya would sometimes tell me how beautiful other people thought she was. Yet one day there was a handsome White guy who was totally my type expressing interest in me and my beauty. About a week after that incident Tonya flipped out on me for no reason, turned the other girls against me and was planning to throw my clothes out of our dorm room (she was my College Roommate).

I was the only mixed race Black girl in the group. She would sometimes make jokes about how "it wasn't me. Blame it on the Black Chick!" I would never made race jokes about her or anyone else. I wouldn't wish how I was treated by this group of jealous girls on my worst enemy. Believe me it definitely WAS color oriented.

My sister threatened to pay Tonya a visit when she found out how I was being treated. Needless to say she certainly backed off me then and even offered an apology (insincere of course). I haven't seen or heard from her since. That was 20 years ago.

I'm still not racist and never will be! But I refuse to ever again be the lone Stunning Mixed race Black girl in the midst of 100 White female friends who see themselves as God's Gift to the world. They're not all like that but avoid and pray for the ones who are. I've met some racist Black girls whom I want nothing to do with too.

And I have a preference for Handsome White men so jealous White women see that as a threat as well. Too damn bad for 'em cause I always WILL have that preference and there's not a damn thing they can do about it. ;)

I know this is an old question, but I have to say...

Sometimes, living in a very sheltered, educated, and politically correct environment, I lose face of why certain African American's hold so much aggression against Caucasians.

and then I read things these answers, and I realize; racism and ignorance are still stronger than the few of us out there who want to change things. I forgot how hateful people can be.

:(

So saddening. I want you to know though, I'm white and I find black women beautiful, as a race at large, but I judge people from there personal merits and I could say the same for all nationalities of women.

Race is nothing but collective traits shared by a group of people. If your beautiful your beautiful if not your not. That is as far as I take race when grouping someone.

I will most likely love you or hate you for who you are, not what you are, and I judge talent not on what your RACE can do, but what YOU can do.

Sometimes I think I'm all alone on this one. Or maybe it's an environmental thing, up here racism doesn't seem to be as present...

IF ANY BLACK GIRL IS READING THIS LISTEN TO ME NOW, BECAUSE I SPEAK WITH TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR PAST.

There is knowone on this planet that can hold a flame to what a black woman is. You are beyond beatiful and your excellence goes beyond the skin. We as a nation represented greatness.

We are where we are in this world because others envyed us and craved what we had. Once upon a time the world saw us as great knowledgable and spiritual people, then one day they snaked us, took it all away from us, killed our men and raped our females. Stole our history and burried it in front of our very eyes. They killed those of us that were educated and told the rest that we were no more importat than dogs. We were made into slaves and cast out of society.

But never forget who you are and understand me when I say I love you beyond words. You are my Mother, You are My Sister and My Daughter. I Love you more than you'll ever know. Please don't ever forget who you are, never try and be anyone else because believe me when I say everyone is trying to achieve what you were born with. Without you we would be lost, I would mean nothing.

I don't care if anyone hates me for saying this, I will always be trueful and if you can't stand that then keep living a lie.

I Know about the world, I Love ancient hitory so believe me I know a lot more than you. To all those haters, keep hating and do your research.

Peace and Love to all.

Great question. I think most do subconsciously and I totally agree with the BEST ANSWERER. Growing up SOME white people feel superior just like certain Blond girls thing they're the sh*t to be blond. Check it...if you're ugly you're ugly and being Blond aint' gonna help:) Same goes for skin color.

I also think its funny when people (usually white people in my experience) grow up and find out that NO you're not superior...there are a lot of non-white people that are more successful than you and better looking, more intelligent etc.:)

My life: I'm black, live in an upper middle class white neighborhood. I'm a successful executive and business owner who supervises several white middle managers. My wife stays home with our kids while the other wives on the block have to go to work to make ends meet:) We keep our sh*t tight and do many things as a family. I'm in shape and look great for my age. The funny thing is I KNOW that some of my neighbors/coworkers can't stand it! I'm sure some hate it because they may be racists...but for others I think it just shakes up everything they THOUGHT they knew about Black people:) I also just KNOW that the husbands on my block envy me. I know the wives envy my wife. Must be why the wives are so much nicer to me and the husbands are standoffish. Dude, take it easy...I don't want your wife! I got the good sh*t at home.

YellowSidewalkChalk · Answer

Ha I need to stop coming back to check on these questions...the answers get crazier every time. lol

I keep reading the OP saying "dont knock other peoples opinions" and things like that. Just a random thought. While everyone has the right to their own opinion and to voice it, I don't quite get the "we shouldn't trash other peoples opinions" or "all opinions are equal." That's complete nonsense, no offense. Not all people are educated about the same things so not all people are even on the same level intellectually. Some people are just uninformed. Others have strong racist prejudices as a result of being uneducated, lacking in intelligence, etc. So no, I have to say I don't consider my opinion to be any where near the same level as someone who walks around saying things like the guy above did, "white women are generally better than black women at everything except rap, r&b, hip hop, and gospel music." Are you kidding me? Yes, I will criticize opinions like those, as that is my right of free speech and no, our opinions are not equal. We aren't even operating in the same mind set for christ sake. So, by all means, have your opinion. I'm not saying you shouldn't speak your mind but I'm not going to buy into this ridiculous belief that all opinions are equal or that we shouldn't criticize both our own opinions and others opinions. that's pretty much all I wanted to add. for now. ;)

Honestly, from what I've come across, a lot of white people don't realize how easy they have had it.  We don't see the discrimination that you do on a daily basis. One of my teachers has taken it upon herself to open our eyes to prejudices, and I really didn't realize how much it was blatant. In magazines white women are prominent and most of the black women have straightened hair rather than their natural hair.  Honestly, I feel that anyone who faces any struggle that makes them evaluate their life and who they are is a strong person, despite reason, ethnicity, age, and gender.  That is the person who REALLY knows who they are and they won't give up on it and be swayed.  So, my personal answer is no, I don't think I'm better than anyone.  I know that I may be smarter, but someone else may have more common sense.  I may be prettier than one person, but there are 10 out there who are prettier than me.  I was raised to be humble and know that everyone has their flaws, but everyone has their outstanding strengths too, so I am neither better nor worse than the majority of people.

|: I'm sorry, but you said that black girls don't get the same opportunities that white girls do? That statement is completely arrogant and so WRONG. I know so many black people that have it a lot better than white people. It is all about where you grew up, who your parents are and basic networking. This is such a STUPID question, it boggles my mind to why you would want to know an answer that is simple: Everyone is different, not matter the color, some people just think they are better than others, PERIOD.

Black people are not slaves, and haven't been for along time. It seriously needs to be settled that everyone is basically equal and IF ANYTHING, white people are the minority now because people play race cards if they don't get what the want.

"Because I'm BLACK, I didn't get the job."

No, because you are not QUALIFIED! Have you been shopping at ANY strip mall rather than the most richest whitest suburb? Have you ever called somewhere and received a black receptionist? Or a black lawyer? Or a black business man? Or ANYTHING.

GOD I CAN GO ON FOREVER ON HOW STUPID THIS QUESTION IS!

Anonymous · Answer

ok first of all anything I say is not at all meant to be offensive! so I'm terribly sorry if this offends anyone. and none of this applies to everyone because everbodys different.

from my observations yeah, SOME white girls do think theyre better but not all. imo neither race is actually better than the other. I'm white but I have no problems with black girls unless they act like b!t(he$. SOME black girls (and I do mean some) have quite an attitude, kinda like they don't care about other people only themselves. and like I said, ths doesn't apply to every black girl! my best friend is black and I love her to death and she doesn't have an attitude like that so definitely not everyone.

also some white girls can act pretty b!t(hy too! some of us are just brought up in an upper class world (same with black ppl) and I gess sometimes if that's the case whit girls think that because they have more money and better opportunities they are better than black girls who dont. I think it depends on the person and their lifestyle.

CierraChan · Answer

Okay, as a white girl, here is my opinion.

I beleive that to a degree there is racism on both parts, extremely within the black and white community. I think they're probably more white girls who beleive they're better then black girls versus black girls beleving they're better then the white girls. I think a part of this, is because of how some (not all) black girls act in school (opinions start heavily in school). I cannot tell you how many bad things I have heard about "black girls being loud, rude and bitchy". So white girls here this and then they start acting upon this. A huge misconception is the only "good" black girl is the the black girl that has only "good white friends".

In my opinion white girls can be just as annoying as any other girl, same with any other race. And I think even though we are in the 21st centuary white people will always have more opportunites. I think if you live in mostly "white" country the whites will always have the advantage.

Another point I want to make is; I really hope I don't sound racist. I am currently in a wonderful relationship with a wonder ful Black/Mexican boy, and I have plenty of black friends. But this information is things I have heard from both black. white, asian, etc. I think its always going to take one bad person to give the rest of the people a bad name. (like how blondes are really dumb, can't tell you how often people are shocked to know I'm on honor roll).

Again, this information I have only received by ear. :)

SuckerPunch · Answer

I think its more of"why do black girls feel the need to stand up for themselves to white girls when really white girls aren't even paying attention to them? So many black girls, I'm sorry to generalize or be rude, but so many have such self pitty and think the world hates them when really nobody cares. a lot of them go around with an attitude like they're tough and better than whites.

once again I'm not trying to generalize or stereotype and I know I sort of am but a lot of black girls I come across are like this.

"as though they are better because they may get more opportunities such as jobs, schooling things like that" You have never heard of affirmative action then have you?

Its actually easier for minorities to get into college, and although some workplaces might discriminate against hiring due to racism carrying over into this century, as a whole once again, due to affirmative action, its easier for minorities to get the job.

Affirmative action... Look it up. It was created to cure the problems created by racism in aspects of school and work, yet it did quiet the opposite. It is legal racism that favors minorities. Pretty unconstitutional don't you think?

Anonymous · Answer

"so do "some" white girls feel as though they are better because they may get more opportunities such as jobs, schooling things like that"

actually, often because of the fact that someone is African American, he or she can possibly have better opportunities that in fact come easier. examples include blacks only scholarships & how in certain branches of the military (maybe all branches, I'm not sure), they have to promote in rank a certain number of African Americans. they do not necessarily need to earn the rank, certain people are promoted solely because they needed to fill a margin, NOT ALL, but some.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, there are no whites only scholarships, and there are no certain number of rank promotions for whites in the military.

a little research can go a long way, maybe you can look into the previous examples. maybe I should do a bit more myself.

anyway, my personal thoughts on the thought of being "better", as I am white, are that we are indeed created equal, and there is no getting around it, nobody is "better". unfortunately though, some people are still raised to think they are better. so against their will, it is instilled in their minds since birth, by their friends & family that they are superior. (similar to what the Nazis did, with teaching children in school that Jews were racially inferior, with the intent to raise them with that thought that they are superior.) heartbreaking.

haha,..i can't answer for every single girl out there,..but majority of white girls don't really care I think, I don't see any problems with it,...for me personaly,..I don't think I am in any way better than a black girl,..in most cases I actualy think they are a bit better in some ways (from the ones I have seen). I think they are very beutiful and have great bodies, personality wise,..they are just huiman, and just girls, black or white. I am not sure why you are asking this question,...but I don't think it should matter, cause it is a very general question, and it is not gonna apply much in life.

P.S. sorry for the long answer :P

I also have a question that I am probably gonna post later, do balck guys have any problem dating a white girl,...I mean I would like to aproach this really cute black guy,...I am just not sure how he would feel about it.

I'm going to borrow a line from Louis C.K. "I'm not saying white people are better. I'm saying that being white is clearly better. Who could even argue?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4f9zR5yzY

I don't really understand why you think that white girls don't work hard to get opportunites. For the most part, jobs don't fall into anyone's lap. To the "every time they turn on the TV its a white face" thing, I'm not really sure what that has to do with anything either. I think most people realize that white people are the majority in the U.S (about 65% I think), so its only natural that the majority of people on television would also be white. Its also a marketing thing. Most people like watching things that they can relate to, so why would business deviate much from marketing to whites? That would be dumb.

Personally I only date white girls,Thats has been my preference ever since way back when.Each race has it good girls and bads girls so if people think one is better than the other all together they are dead wrong.Some white girls think,what what I have gathered that black women are wild,loud,rude and as they say can't even speak proper English.Some black girls think white girls are spoil little bitches and run around and get what they want and the world belongs to them.Thing is I have met some black girls that act the same way.

We should be the generation to kill stuff like this. It's old, and we're all equal. This is why it will never stop, because people never let go. I'm black and I like all races. If we try hard enough, questions like these will NEVER have to be asked again.

I'm a white male. If you don't talk for three days no matter what and not think about problems you will notice a diffrent life then what most other other races claim. Go to a white neiborhood and everything is so quite for the most part its because its a reflection of their innerself. If you go to most other areas evrybody violent. Full of tatoos and want to damage wall with spray paint and attack other races. Its a reflection of there hart. The truth is you create your own world. Yes many white women are worthless bitches. That's why they have small families. Iwould rather date any other race. Most men get 1/8 the amount of sex when dating white women. Worthless if you want losts of sex in your years. Other races have are more real. But more ghetto.There's more to life then violence and spray paint. But man your women are so hot and more approaceable and you don't have to have a lot of money.

bulbasaur · Answer

My opinion is that all your opinions suck.  Jk  :P  But to be honest (from a guy's point of view) I'm way more attracted to anything but black girls.  No offense meant, but I guess 'im raised that way'?   Its just pure looks though, if its just for friendship I take anyone with a good personality, no matter the skin color nor do I feel certain talents are limited to a single group.  But I can think of asian/light brown/white girls right now that can give me a boner, but not a single black woman pops up.

let me think...black girls are more beautiful than white girls, are usually nicer than white girls and are, in my opinion, 10 times more superior to white girls...i think white girls are in no way better than black girls...

RianWelbourne · Answer

I mean no disrespect, but this question is impossible. It's way, way to broad. I'll at least try to answer, though.

Do I believe that, as a general rule, the average white girl feels superior to the average black girl? I don't think so. But that's simply my opinion. If the question were reversed I'd have the same answer. I've met white girls that feel they are better than black girls, and I've met black girls that feel they are better than white girls. Overall, I think people know better than that, though.

dunc17 · Answer

I'm a white girl.

Some do, some don't. Some girls don't feel like they can relate to black women for some reason so that can look like they think they're better than them. Others can relate or find common interests so they're more open to being friends with black girls. I have a few myself. My best friend is mixed!

Also, some white girls feel like black girls might try to judge them or be like, what's this white girl doing? ha ha like in movies(I know, stupid excuse but some people believe movies lol)

So I feel like it's all about how shy the girls are and if they feel relatable or not.

Anonymous · Answer

I doubt it, if anything the stereotypical white girl has way more self esteem issues than the stereotypical black girl so she probably thinks less of herself.  As for competition among guys, I think it's pretty much preference.  I am generally more attracted to white girls, but that is just a personal preference.  My friend is attracted to asian girls, and my black friend Steve is attracted to redheads.  That doesn't make any of us bad people, we just have preferences. So to answer your question, yes white girls think they are better than black girls unless the black girl thinks she's better, then the black girl thinks she's the best.

pirates_ftw · Answer

I think a fair assortment of all types of people think they are better than another group, for all sorts of reasons. In general, no white girls don't think they are better than black girls.

I must say that I think many caucasion girls who do look down on other races are actually just jealous of some physical attribute they don't have that the other race does. But it's probably just as true for black girls, asian girls, hispanic girls, etc . . .

Either way, we're women, we have a million reasons for being bitchy.

(I'm not saying I'm proud of that, but its true.)

bluersunshine · Answer

I'm black. However I think that girls, boys and everyone in between (:P) should judge themselves as a person, not as a colour, or a member of a race. This is going to sound so incredibly vain, but I think I'm pretty near perfect: I'm gorgeous, I'm intelligent, and I'm a whole lot of other things. Does that mean black girls are better than white girls. No! Does that mean white girls are better than black girls? No! Does that mean I think I'm better than most black girls? No.

I'm just amazing full stop, why should race have anything to do with it?
