Are you white and afraid of black people?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

I am not white

[Anonymous]

most black people yes, not all but many that have this demeanor and attitude that give off bad vibes. just like any person with the same demeanor and attitude would give me chills and make me uneasy regardless of color, but I do notice that in most cases it tends to be black people who show that, and become loud and scary.

last month i went into a store to buy some balloons and a white man came in with strange clothes and dirty.. the way in which he walked in was scary alone, then he ran to the back and i became very scared.. the cashier lady started yelling for him to get out.. there were black people in line with me and you can tell they too were scared like what's going on?

my point, it can be any person, in this recent experience it was a white man but the truth is in most cases it tends to be a black person, so it's not per se that i am scared of "black" people, it is this demeanor and aura that a person portrays and it just so happens to be that most people who do that tend to be blacks even if every once in a while it's another race, they're still scary regardless of what color.

Loud and defensive and this demeanor /attitude, cause fear in others.
why most tend to be blacks who do this, i don't know.. i sometimes even think they do it on purpose to be feared.. but now with all these cops shootings, now they became the "scared" .

Thanks for sharing your feelings and being honest <3

Not always, but in certain cases yes. I don’t mean to sound racist. And I’m generally not racist. But black people have a stereotype of being “violent, dangerous, murderers” etc. And I’ve never believed this stereotype for all black people. And I still don’t, but... my brother was 21 when he got robbed and shot in the chest by a black man at a ATM. He even threw his wallet at him before he shoot, hoping he’d just take it and leave. But he took the money and continued to shoot him anyway. In front of our mother who watched him die. Crazy enough my brothers murderer was wanted anyway for killing other people too before him. This made me bitter toward the black community at the time, I’ll be honest. Because I started to believe their stereotype was true. Not anymore however. I don’t have anything against any race of people and if anything support BLM, even though it triggers some wounds a bit. Long story short, am I full on terrified to be around them and dislike all black people? No, of course not. But I’ll always get a little nervous whenever I’m alone let’s say at night on the bus or train with a black man per say ever since what happened to my brother.

Thanks for sharing that <3
I am sorry that happened to your family. It sounds like you have done a lot to overcome that tragedy.

[Slartybartfast]

I was one of the only white kids in my high school (3400 students) honestly it was scary as shit. At one point I had a police escort, I once made a joke that I was going to the cafeteria to eat lunch and he looked like he was going to faint.

Eventually I wound up beaten unconscious (third time in one month I took a beating)

Understand, I'm still friends with people from back then in fact id call some close as family, but yeah there is some fear when I'm alone with black men I don't know.

A friend of mine had a son named nick who used to spend a lot of time at my house. He was a little skinny kid who was always really polite and even helped clean my house, I grew quite attached to him but i moved to Florida and didn't see him for ten years.

One day a huge 7 foot black guy ran up to me as I was getting out of my car in a parking lot at night and grabbed me in a big bear hug.. yeah, it was nick.

[Asker]

Sorry to hear that happened to you. I think its actually great that you were able to overcome those experiences.

[Slartybartfast]

To be fair, I was at that school because the last one got to dangerous for me lol.

Someone once asked me how many times I've taken a beating.

My answer was, I don't know...

[007kingifrit]

its tough to say, they certainly are more dangerous than anyone else and i would prefer they keep their distance as far as where they live and work. but i can be fine with individual black people and don't feel uneasy around them.

on a larger scale though I know conflict between different groups is inevitable. democracy just isn't compatible with diversity. the more types of people in the democracy the harder it is to compromise. eventually violence is inevitable when there are too many groups.

[EyesOfGod]

Your calling me more dangerous then a white 6ft body builder? Lol thanks

[007kingifrit]

@EyesOfGod right because physical fitness is the measure for how dangerous someone is

the capacity to do violence is not the intent. black people have, by the numbers, more intent to do violence

[ChocoBrownieMonster]

Many African Black people from poor backgrounds that I've come across tend to act wrongly and then accuse you of racism if you call them out. You can't help people who choose to act backwards smh and yes that makes them scary. However the carribean black people I've met have good morals follow their religions well and are really lovely to be friends with.

[bluetoblack99]

I wanted to vote “other”. I’m white and I live with two black guys. I’m not “afraid” of them. But when all this George Floyd rioting bullshit went on I was very uncomfortable.

Race was never a big issue at our house and this crap MADE it an issue. An extremely unnecessary one. Fortunately things have calmed down a bit.

[Rangers]

I am white, and i wouldn't say afraid of them, but we usually don't get along, i try to be friendly and get mixed responses doing that, when they attack me for my race, i often feel the need to fire back not with racist comments but with facts that they ignore. I used to say racist stuff back but I've been trying to correct that and think I've got it under control now

[NamerOfStars]

Yes and no, respectively. I'm afraid of scary people, some of whom are black, but far from all. Why would I be scared of black people in general? Are they going to take all the sunscreen?

[Justacatlady]

I’m not afraid. No need to be. I grew up in a city where there are a lot of people of color, and it wasn’t anything to be afraid of

[SoullessEyes]

Why say colour like your too afraid to offend them by saying black? Thats jus gonna offend them more, jus call em black, thats what they are, there's no other way to say it, if they get offended by being called black then they are the racist ones

[Justacatlady]

@SoullessEyes because blacks weren’t the only other race where I grew up. Settle down

[EyesOfGod]

Im black and I've only ever encountered crazy white guys like Trevor in gta 5.

[Asker]

Haha where do you live? lmao!

[EyesOfGod]

Washington. Also in Africa they would call me white xD

[Anonymous]

Personally, I don’t think the color of your skin should be giving off intimidation to others and I don’t like the idea being placed on people who are different shades of skin tones.

[scarlett774]

Why would I ever much less anyone be afraid of a whole entire race that’s just stupid.

[Natashakir72]

I'm white but y the heck would I be afraid? Black people are exactly the same as me just heavier pigmentation. In fact my x boyfriend is black as the Alaska night

[SoullessEyes]

Not true, black people aren't the sAme,
Black people are cooler and have a whole different culture

[Natashakir72]

@SoullessEyes lol ok so... biological and psychological the same then...

[ineedatan]

I'm not white, and I'm not scared of people based off of their skin tone.

[NorthwestRider]

Because they are black? Nope

But the ones like these yes

[Agape93]

Why would I be afraid of a color pigmentation on someone?

[NorthwestRider]

[SoullessEyes]

Not really but 1 did make me jump when walking down the street at night cos i couldnt see his face , i was tryna figure out if it was the back of some white dudes hair walking away from me, then i saw its a black guy walking towards me, made me jump, wasn't expecting it lol

[Rexos]

My skin is pale but I'm not white, and I don't judge by skin color.

[Sweetpuppysmile]

Im 100 percent dried back Mexican but i have always watched my back around blacks but not all of them ar bad.

[Anonymous]

I know not to drive through a predominant black area/ neighborhood such as a ghetto and have a break down. I know to stay clear of large groups of them. They hate white people and there no way of sugar coating it. Plus the goverment is on their side.

[mastema]

totally, i might think they're nice and we can't have that can we. gotta keep em separated.

[Imuglyandiknowit]

i’m not fully white but i am a little afraid of blacks.

[Nonfrivolous]

why would anyone be afraid of black people

[Asker]

I am asking this as social experiment/survey :)

[NorthwestRider]

Black people in general? No

But Black People like these in this video? Yes
