If black people mostly trust other black people, is that racist?

Why do black people only trust black people making it seem like other races are against them are black people racist

[Marshast]

That’s not a Black people thing, it’s the other way around. It’s a Caucasian thing, anything one of them says about another (the majority), especially if it’s about non-Caucasian, its RIGHT to all Caucasian; total consensus. There’s that nonverbal agreement that doesn’t need to be expressed. The US history has taught us enough about this.
Very few Caucasians are different but the majority are all about race.

Actually blacks are more race obsessed

[Marshast]

Agree to disagree—you’re entitled to your opinion. However, Black communities generally have not possessed the same institutional resources, social structures, or generational wealth needed to establish and enforce racial hierarchies. What you are describing may be better understood as collective or survival awareness. Historically, white-dominated societies have organized identity, power, and opportunity around skin color.
In many industrialized Western societies, Black people have been treated as a marginalized minority and denied the same opportunities as their white counterparts. Their dehumanization and the harshness of their experiences often go unnoticed. When members of a minority group are collectively stereotyped, what happens to one person can affect how the entire group is perceived and treated. That makes it understandable for Black people to connect through shared experiences related to race and skin color.
Many white people cannot personally relate to the Black experience. People often find it easier to agree with those who look like them or share similar backgrounds and perspectives. When injustice does not affect them directly, they may simply continue with their lives. That silence can gradually reinforce the existing social consensus.

One article alone is not sufficient to substantiate your opinion

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Of course, does remove the fact they are race obsessed 🤷‍♂️
You are kinda proving my point there

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't think they do, but let's say for the sake of argument they do. It kind of IS, but at the same time, it's also human nature. All races are like this. It's not necesarily about race, though it CAN be, but more about trusting people with common traits.

NatGeo did an experiment and for one part they put a criminal and a hot girl and everyone voted that they would trust the hot girl more. But when they put the criminal and an alien, everyone chose the criminal

Generalizing an entire group isn't accurate Trust is usually built on individual actions and shared experiences, not skin color.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Pew has shown race is central to how blacks view things

[MartinKlingac]

You can pull up all the polls you want, but reducing complex human beings down to a single trait is just a lazy way to generalize

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Cultures exist 🤷‍♂️

[MartinKlingac]

Of course cultures exist, but individual free thought exists too Conflating culture with universal group behavior is still just a generalization

[FrodoSkywalker007]

That's the point.
Generalizations exist for a reasons.
"Asians are good a math"
True on an individual basis? Depends on the person.
True for the group? Yes, they typically test higher

[FreyaRed]

I'm white and I don't trust other whites just because they are white.
If I was black I don't think I would behave differently.
Ergo: Trust isn't something people should gain due melanin level.

[Wuai201]

Im black and we have a saying all skin folk aren't kinfolk so I don't know where this is coming from

[DonaldDarko]

They're some of the most racist people. Not that racism is the big deal it's made out to be.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Yes, blacks are the most race obsessed group.
Pew Research has done studies on this 🤷‍♂️

You don't spend much time with other races do you...

[FrodoSkywalker007]

She's generally correct.
Race is central to how blacks see things

[Sal_Monella]

Not necessarily by the definition of racism. It is discriminatory, which is making a choice

[Pterodon]

I’m in the black community and I’ve found they really don’t trust other blacks either

[Factual_person]

Most black people hang out with other races just fine

[fishbone77]

Backs are crazy racist.

[6942Dantheman]

if it's just based on skin color, yes.
