Are Americans starting to have enough of Black people?

[Anonymous]

Before you accuse me of trolling, hear me out.
I've been reading the comments on those articles about the Corona Virus killing a disproportionate number of black people, and I saw tons of comments on there that were applauding this. Comments like, "Guess the Coronavirus isn't all bad" and "The less of those people the better." And recently there was a story about a black family killing a security guard for making them wear a mask in the store, and I saw one person commented, "If only my ancestors had picked their own cotton, that guard would still be alive." Another comment read, "Blacks get angry when we make these stereotypes about them, yet they themselves are constantly reinforcing them." Not only were such comments being posted, but they were getting a lot of upvotes compared to downvotes, as well as tons of people replying that they agree with them.
I can't post a link or pics, because I am only Level 1, but I remember such comments would get posted before, and the poster would get completely destroyed, but now people seem to be supporting these kinds of comments. Is this evidence that Americans have had enough of black people? Black people specifically, how does this make you feel?

[hellionthesagereborn]

No, that's not true. I'm not saying that some people didn't make comments, I'm not saying that they didn't make comments that you found inappropriate, I am saying the majority did not say that, and more then likely your taking them out of context.

Now that said, yeah, people are getting fed up with the non stop victim mentality of the black community. They are getting fed up with them blaming every one else for their choices (white people are the racists yet blacks are more then 150% more likely to commit hate crimes, 50% of all violent crimes are commited by blacks, 80% of interracial violence and crime is commited by blacks against other ethnic groups etc. etc.).

They also probably did point out that blacks are upset at stereotypes yet they themselves reinforce them because that is also true. Again, look at crime rates and you see that the black thug is not a stereotype for no particular reason, its a stereotype because its largely true (not all blacks are thugs mind you, but many are and if you come across a violent criminal their is a greater probability they will be black compared to other groups).

I had to explain to some one that the coronavirus effects blacks more because blacks are far more likely to have preexisting conditions then other groups (heart disease, lung diseases and hyper tension, diabetes, etc.). I was then told that no, this is a sign of racism and not life choices despite it obviously being life choices (as African immigrants are not suffering any of the things native born blacks claim to be suffering from because of "racism").

Do not conflate honest criticism with racism, those are two very different things.

No, I found those comments appropriate

[hellionthesagereborn]

No, what I am saying is that it is not that common, you were making it seem like the majority of comments were that and that is something I find hard to believe.

The fact that you made a post like this shows the ignorance and lack of intelligence within you.
Not all Whites or African Americans are filled with hatred against each other, its actually quite a low percentage, however the media amp stories up to cause a war between both races.

The fact that people are posting things like what you posted, shows nothing but ignorance, there is nothing factual about what you have stated, just Racist Slandering.

A virus can't be racist, it kills every race, every age and every person with a disability, sexual orientation.

It's definitely a question of racism, not race. All you have to look at is the amount of cases in African countries compared to the US and you have to take into account that it is much harder for people of colour to be successful in the US. In a country where healthcare is not free, lower class people are obviously going to be affected more. People being racist assholes in a country that elected Trump as president shouldn't be a shock to anyone.

The media inforced lots of stereotypes by the way. Violence will always be more likely to be reported on if it's coming from non-whites. Doesn't necessarily mean it happens more.

[Asker]

The media is only reporting what happens

[Opinion Owner]

I hope you don't really believe that the media isn't biased.

[Opinion Owner]

The media is always reporting on what they think will be popular. And in a country permeated with racism, stories about terrorism and violence coming from people of colour is exactly what's popular because it lets people justify racist actions and opinions.

[Asker]

I thought the media was trying to fight racism

[hellionthesagereborn]

That's factually incorrect. First and foremost based upon the CDC/NCVS, FBI, and DOJ, blacks commit half of all violent crimes, 80% of interracial crimes, 100%(effectively) of interracial rapes, are 150% more likely to commit a hate crime, and even attempts to monitor and punish people (the targets were whites) for hate speech on line found that minorities, specifically blacks, where the greatest offenders. They even found that when it came to land lords, blacks and Hispanics descriminated more then whites did.

On top of that arrest rates for black cops coinside with those of whites i. e. their is no difference. Also if we look at violence against police, blacks are actually almost 20% more likely to shoot a police officer compared to a police officer shooting a black suspect (in fact they found white police actually hesitate more to shoot a black suspect compared to a white one).

Then when you look at the media it was discovered that while whites are more likely to be shot by a police officer then blacks, blacks get seven times the news coverage compared to whites.

As for our nation being racist, that's just absurd. Your literally claiming that a nation, that voted a black man into office not once but twice, with a white majority (who are the majority in this country and the majority who vote) are racist compared to every other nation that doesn't vote in to office some one who isn't of the same race as the majority? That just doesn't make sense.

Also trump isn't racist, he has given more money to historically black colleges, has met with more black community leaders then any president in history, including Obama (the black one that was voted in yet some how we are all still racist despite the fact), and has deported less people then Obama has (in fact republicans actually deport fewer people then democrat presidents statistically speaking).

No

[SkipStop]

It's not that they have had enough with black people. It's because they are fed up with the liberal media focusing so much on them instead of everyone as a whole.

Middle and upper-class White Americans have always detested Black people. The Black Panther Party existed for a reason and this kind of disdain and hatred for African-Americans show that they are still an oppressed nation and that the writings of Huey P. Newton and Malcolm X are still as relevant as ever.

[Asker]

They hate them for a reason

[hellionthesagereborn]

That is not the case. First and foremost the group that hated blacks was the democrats. They quite litearlly are responsible for EVERY single racist law that has ever been created, they were responsible for slavery, for the civil war and for segregation. This is a historical fact. That is not "white people", that is not "upper class white people", that is a particular ideology that to this day refuses to acknowledge its role in racism and slavery.

Further we know for an absolute fact that blacks are not descriminated against today, if that was the case then African immigrants would not be fairing better then most whites (which they are). We would also not have the top highest earning groups based upon ethnicity be entirely comprised of minorities (Indian, Thai, Philipino, and jewish).

As for the black panthers, claiming they exist ergo what they believe is true is not logical, by that reasoning white nationalists and the KKK, and the Black Israelites (incredibly racist towards whites and are incredibly antisemetic) would all be equally as right despite believing polar opposite things.

Something tells me you are a middle-class White American.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Probably your elitism. No, actually I'm quite impoverished. I grew up in an abusive home, have a dead end job, worked really hard and still am pretty damn poor (I work in a restraunt). Something tells me, your probably a middle class and went to college because those are the types who are most likely to shit on every single other group in the world and tell every one that they are so much better then every one and that's why we should all listen to them. They are the only ones who advocate for being the advocate for every group that isn't them regardless of what those people want. Did I hit the mark?

Your claiming every one in this country who isn't a minority is racist despite the fact that we elected a black man to the highest position of power in this nation not once but twice (also whites are the largest voting group as well as the largest population i. e. even if every single minority voted for Obama, it still would require whites to have voted for him as well for him to have won the election, and again, most minority groups don't vote at nearly the same rates as whites (in short, whites voted in a black man, the same whites you have decided are racist because. . . reasons.).

It’s basically the low class ones they mean but we definitely have plenty of black people that are decent unfortunately the good ones get lumped together with the bad ones

[Anonymous]

I think a lot of people are tired of seeing charges of racism leveled all the time

[Dchrls78104]

Why should I listen to racists? What could such people have to say that's actually worth hearing? I'd rather be stung by a "murder hornet" than hear racists in their element!

[Anonymous]

I guess yes.
