Don't you think black people bring racism upon themselves?

[Anonymous]

For example they have this very tight sense of brotherhood which only black people are welcome to. They call each other the N word but white people are not allowed to, according to them. Imagine white people doing something similar and i'd be called the KKK.

They speak the English language differently. For example they say "They was, you was". I'm not even native English speaker but I know it's "They were, you were". It seems very arrogant not to use the correct grammar if it's clearly your native language. And that's just one example.

Whenever I see these police body cams when they arrest black people, they never comply with the police orders. They always try to negotiate with the police and try to take the control of the situation. Sometimes they even get shot because the police says "Keep your hands where I can see them" And still they start to search their pockets. Like what the fuck dude how stupid can you be. And then the police is blamed for racial crime.

As an outsider I just feel it's very obvious black people are themselves doing the best they can to increase racism towards blacks.

To clarify I never said ALL of them. It should be obvious in questions like that. My bad assuming people are smarter than they are. But I feel it's now my responsibility to educate the less educated.
A person = One (1) person.
People = More than one, not specific how many.
All people = Specifically all people.

[ArcticBliss]

No. And you're grouped an entire group together. You sound very ignorant. Also, just because you only see examples of where you can understand why unarmed people were shot does not mean it's justified. Also, there are plenty of examples of black people who obey officers and who still have to pay consequences. Maybe you should try educating yourself on black culture also.

Do YOU think that anonymous rhetorical questions asked under the guise of legitimacy, almost purely to express your skewed and uninformed 'opinions' -- making 'statements' rather than questions -- with the veiled goal of triggering people, and not becoming more empathetic, is something constructive to participate in?

[Asker]

First of all do you think "Tamera952" with a picture of a meme is any less anonymous. Jesus christ the stupidity. I don't know if it's constructive or not. Does it have to be? I'm just curious what other people think about it. You are the one choosing to participate in it or not, and you chose to participate so apparently it is worthy to participate.

And by the way do you actually disagree with those "uninformed opinions", because they are very clearly true.

[Asker]

"making statements rather than questions" I make statements rather than question if I'm not in doubt.

"not becoming more empathetic" but it's not empathetic to pretend they are innocent angels if they are not.

[Tamera952]

Yes, because regardless of what my picture is, you can at least get ahold of me via my profile, unlike an anonymous chicken-shit profile. Don't play stupid with me -- you're not really asking questions at all (which was my original point) as you just stated "they are very clearly true" -- So your 'question' should be a "MY TAKE" since you're making a subjective statement, masquerading as a question. (Obvious as well from your "don't you think?" as opposed to phrasing it s 'do you think?')
You're basically looking for confirmation of your already held belief (exactly why it should be a 'MY TAKE')
You're not curious what others think at all, and becoming more empathetic has nothing to do pretending anyone is "innocent" or an "angel", and you know that! Don't mischaracterize my response and Don't get it twisted -- empathetic has to do with understanding where someone else is coming from or seeing things through their perspective.

[Asker]

"you can at least get ahold of me via my profile"
But I don't think this question is so profound that a president is going to offer me a job or anything like that, so I don't need anyone to get hold of me off this question, thanks for the concern. Oh but you can't start to harass and dislike all my other questions and answers because you don't like this particular one? That's what you are upset about? Haha well that's exactly the reason why I ask it anonymous. I know this question is provocative and can piss people off, and I know this site is full of people who will rest of their life harass and dislike all the other questions and answers of that person. It's not like I'm escaping any negativity that I would deserve. If you don't like the anonymous option, maybe just leave. It's big part of this website and not something you shouldn't use just because you can't start harassing people because of questions you don't like. I've never had problem with anyone asking anonymously because most people don't have their own picture or name anyway and I don't have any reason to "get hold of someone" if they don't want to be contacted. It's called harassment.

And didn't you read the question? It's "Don't you THINK?". It's NOT about are black people co-operating with the racism or not, it's about HOW MANY OF YOU AGREE that they are. Completely different question. "You are not curious" how the fuck can you tell what I'm curious about or not, idiotic assumption.

"empathetic has to do with understanding where someone else is coming"
Understanding their culture and claiming they are co-operating with their own racism doesn't contradict each other. Sure I understand why they'd do it, but it still doesn't dispute the fact that many of them behave in a way that provokes further racism. It's still a fact no matter how empathetic, in other words how much I understand WHY they behave how they behave. The behavior is still there. So that was very pointless point again.

[Asker]

So your concern was my anonymity. And then you pointed out it's not about are we anonymous when commenting each other within this question. You agreed you are as anonymous within this question, but at least I can get hold of you in the future, but you can't get hold of me. First of all I won't. I won't dislike your other opinions or questions because I'm not childish and emotional like that. But you are hinting that you would, am I correct? Because why else are you worried about not getting hold of me in the future?

[Anonymous]

Since most of the problems within the black community aren't caused by racism, yet many blacks point to racism as the cause, yes. Until the truth is widely known, I believe racial tensions will worsen.

[Anonymous]

You are exactly right. They are a complete different culture and they are trying to wipe out the other culture and impose their culture as dominant in this country.

[FunkyMonkee]

SOME things they do DO tend to spur on racism!! Thinking every issue can be solved with a gun, stealing shit, collecting government hand-outs rather than even TRYING to go to work, polluting, causing trouble!! (one day, I was on a bus at a red light when, suddenly, 6 black girls started chasing another down the street, they knocked her to the ground, pulled her hair right out of her head and were kicking her repeatedly, spitting on her, hitting her. I've NEVER, EVER seen people of ANY other race do that!!!), always trying to get away with shit they don't deserve, like it's owed to them so they have every right to just TAKE it, etc!!! I don't know the statistics but, from what I've seen, they are the biggest crime committers! Sorry but, it's true!
The language thing you mentioned is certainly not an issue that'd cause much racism but it HAS been bugging me for years! They want to be seen as equals. Okay, fine! I have no problem with that! To me, they're just PEOPLE!! They just happen to have darker skin!! But, INTENTIONALLY speaking WRONG, ALL YOUR LIFE? On one hand, they'll claim it's some kind of cultural thing, but, at the same time, they want to get as far away from their slavery roots as possible. Okay, stop TALKING like you're still slaves! We have a language here, learn how to use it instead of making up your own or staying stuck on the plantation!
Sometimes, I speak wrong, intentionally, just to be cool or funny but, I don't make it a life-long thing!!
The people that lived next door to where I am now were Italian. I think the parents were only 2nd or 3rd generation and they had SOME Italian speech mannerisms and dialect. Their kids had JUST A HINT of it!! You can hear it every great once in a while in certain words but, for the most part, the kids speak perfect English! So, why does it take an Italian family only 3 or 4 generations to shed their original dialect but, it takes blacks well over 100 years?
But, there's a LOT of whites that don't speak very good English, either!! Most often, they can speak it, they just can't seem to spell it!! To instead of too; there instead of they're or their, etc. It's mostly little words that most people SHOULD'VE learned by the second grade!!! I'm amazed that even people in my graduating class and people a decade or two older than me do that!! Maybe it's just the beer culture! "I don't need to learn no language! I've got beer!!"
And the one that really bugs me is how, suddenly, everyone HAS to start every single statement with the word, "So"!!
So, what's your dog's name?
So, my dog's name is, Fred.
So, does Fred do tricks?
So, yes, Fred can do a lot of tricks.
WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS COME FROM? It just started about 10 years ago!!! SO, STOP IT!!! SO, IT'S NOT NEEDED AND MAKES YOU LOOK INCREDIBLY STUPID!!! I guess there's no such thing as learning by example, anymore!! Or, they DO learn by example, they just learn the wrong examples!!

Do you think black people climbed walls and forced their way onto slave ships, so they would be worked to death without pay, so they could be raped whenever their master wanted sex, so they could be required to have sex with a man, so they could breed for their master, so they could have their children sold to other slave owners, and never see them again? If you believe black people wanted these things, then I guess you could say they brought racism upon themselves.

[SmokinAces2000]

If you are implying that black people male white people racist you sound very ignorant you can’t simply make someone a racist they would have already had those biased ideas and secondly you can’t group a whole race together because I don’t talk like that and guess what I’m black 😲 and actually a lot of “black” grammar is a result of how slaves talked if you don’t believe me look it uo

[Anonymous]

No I don’t. I think people are just looking for an excuse to be racist by putting the blame on them. It’s like victim shaming. When a girl is raped people sometimes point the finger at her and suggest that she brought it upon herself by dressing a certain way. Nobody brings racism upon themselves, racism only exists because people are hateful.

[Asker]

I don't mean they bring it upon themselves 100%, but they are co-operating heavily. Or do you disagree with all the examples I gave? Because if you do you are just ignorant.

[007kingifrit]

black people are the victims of their own actions. they sold eachother into slavery, didn't modernize, didn't migrate to Europe with the rest of humanity but stayed behind in africa

and now they continue to kill eachother and don't stay and form famlies. yes they do it to themselves. we can't fix them, we can't help them

[Opinion Owner]

So do white people and Asian people. Are you going to say the same thing about them? My dad was white, he tried to kill me and then left my mom, are you going bring is race into it or is it okay because he was white?

[Opinion Owner]

White people do terrible shit as well, are you going to use their skin colour to pin that against them. You’re racist end of story.

[007kingifrit]

statistically its really just a black thing

[Opinion Owner]

No it’s really not. You just want to justify your racism lmao. Leave.

[007kingifrit]

no its really just a black thing. like you can pick individual people and go "see a white guy killed someone" but statistically blacks are way overrepresented in how much violent crime they do

50+% of all violent crime done by blacks

[Opinion Owner]

No it’s not. And I said go away, I’m not arguing with an ignorant racist so leave.

[Asker]

It's not racist to present facts even if it's in disfavor towards a certain race or nationality.

[Opinion Owner]

No it’s racist. Because you’re ignoring the crimes committed by other races, when there have been plenty. Just so you can point at black people. Nothing you say will change my mind. You’re racist.

[Asker]

He said over 50% of violent crimes are done by blacks. That doesn't ignore other races. That means less than 50% of crimes are done by other races :D

Are you black by the way?

[Opinion Owner]

So just because someone said it you should believe it? Of course he would say that, he’s nothing but a racist. I’ve had arguments with him before and I can confirm, he is nothing but racist. And no, I’m not black. And even so, if 50% of crimes are done by other races, why aren’t you pointing the finger at them as well? Why only black people? Because you’re racist too.

[Asker]

I have heard the same statistic before. But anyway I didn't say anything about crime rates in my question because that's not something I can observe personally. But based on my personal observation and what I hear from other people, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was true.

And again he said OVER 50% are done by blacks. There are whites, hispanic, Asian, who knows how many other races. You can't really point finger on them because the less than 50% is divided by the remaining races. That's why the finger is pointed towards blacks. If blacks are minority but does majority of the crimes, it tells something about them. Again I don't know if it's true but I wouldn't be surprised

[Opinion Owner]

Just admit your racist and move on.

[Asker]

Your reasoning is just moronic. Just move on.

[007kingifrit]

its a hard fact, more than half of all crime is done by black people. nobody disputes that

[Opinion Owner]

Can you read? I said leave. I’m not interested in your racist shit

[007kingifrit]

awww little SJW lost an argument and now runs to the SIXHRT arguent

i will not shy away from truth because it hurts you. black people do 50+% of crime. this is not racist to say. your ire is misplaced

[Opinion Owner]

Leave. I’m not talking about it with you anymore. I don’t care for your opinions because you’re nothing more than a pathetic little racist and that’s all you will ever be. NOW LEAVE.

[007kingifrit]

haha you can't handle other people's opinions, the sign of a weak woman

[NYlatefun]

It seems that you lack context and education. I'd recommend you to read some history books starting with slavery so you can remove your natural biases and provide an informed opinion.

[Disguise]

Most of the time.
I face racism from them too.

[Anonymous]

Way to group all Black people together. I’m sure you’d be pissed off if we generalized every person of your race as only the negative stereotypes you’d see on tv.

[Asker]

I didn't say all. There are general differences between races, nationalities and cultures, some positive, some negative. But of course it doesn't mean they ALL are like that.
