Blacks are the Most Racist!!??

Question

Do you think black people are the most racist? I've seen plenty of times on Y!A people saying that black people are the most racist of all but this is news to me. For example- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AocaPwS9z5AeFyi7vKAblSPz7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20080821085206AA4y18p

I've never heard anyone say that except for on Y!A.

I'm not racist, I like people of all colors. Do some people really think that black people are the most racist race of all. If you do, what experiences have you had that made you think that.

All answers are welcome. Thanks.

Answer 1

I would concur.

Answer 2

I've met black racists, just as I've met white ones.

The difference is that the black one's I've met have firmly believed that it was impossible for them to be racists... because they were black.

One in particular, I tried to reason with, but it was like trying to reason with a creationist.

She also had three articles of faith-

The bible was true. All of it.

Black people have never kept slaves.

Egyptians were black.

I agreed with her on the third, but pointed out that in the bible, Egyptians kept slaves.

...

She stopped talking to me :(

Answer 3

I am not racist. I like a lot of people...love some, and it has nothing to do with race. It depends on the personality...thats it. If I dont like someone it has nothing to do with race, it is probably because they act like an idiot. Or weird morals or something. Not judging...but some people its just better not to associate with. :). But i dont think blacks are the most racist...actually most are very open minded.  

Answer 4

Everyone is different but the majority of racists are black to tell you the truth

Answer 5

No, I don't believe Black people are the most racist. We physically do not have the power to be racist. Also, if you so much as feel good about being a Black person a lot of non-Blacks will label us as racist.

Number one, a lot of people do not know the true meaning of racism.  

Answer 6

within any cultural or ethnic group, there will be some people who are racist and some who are not. it is difficult to generalize, because there are different opinions within a group.

Answer 7

It is impossible to know which race is the most racist.

Answer 8

Unfortunately, people that have traveled little, had little exposure to other races, are less educated,etc. often live in a small, small world - one in which intolerance is common.

The people described above can be from ANY race.  Ignorance is no respecter of persons.

Answer 9

I don't think black people are the most racist. Your probably going to come across racist people everywhere. Although, these girls didn't like me last year because I was a quiet white girl, which really pissed me off. They didn't even know me. And they always forgot my name and gave me nasty looks. They seemed to not have any problem with everyone else who wasn't white, but any of the people I knew that was white they were rude to. We were never rude to them, so really I thought it was kinda stupid.

Answer 10

Whoever said that seems to be the racist.

I don't think any one group is more racist than others. They all seem to have stereotypes of everyone else. Not that every single person does. Some people are able to forget what they've heard around them and be accepting of everyone (like you and me).

Answer 11

I think that any one no matter their race has the power to be racist! But I the true strength comes when we rise above all of this foolishness and love one another no matter what color out skin is!

Answer 12

Wow, someone's been listening to too much Bob Marley cuz you tryna Stir It Up!  lol  

Answer 13

I think that all races have been racist towards another at one point in time.  Some more than others.  I think that blacks have reason to be somewhat racist but that doesn't mean they should be.  Oh I don't know that kind of came out wrong.  

Anyway I think that history has shown whites to be more racist more often but that doesn't count anybody else out.  Just the same as there are racists in all races there are also good loving people in every race and no one should judge anyone just because of their color.

Answer 14

The blacks think the whites are, and the whites think the blacks are. Just depends on who you want to listen to or whose side you want to take.

Answer 15

I have heard and read people say this other than on Yahoo. When I was in high school there was a similar discussion that I had with some classmates of mine. So it's not just people on this site that have this mindset. Whether or not it's true I don't know.  

Answer 16

everyone and i do mean EVERYONE! is rasist. we cannot deny that. people just need to get over it and stop calling everyone a rasist

Answer 17

From my experience I have known most black people to be accepting of different ethnicity's.  I have also know some blacks who do not like white people, but they don't dress up in costumes and burn crosses in other peoples yards or such things.  They mostly keep their opinion to themselves, and are "tolerant", but not totally accepting.  

Answer 18

i don't think its a question of who is the most racist. i think anyone can be racist. white black mixed hispanic asian blue purple or green. anyone can be ignorant.  

Answer 19

I think that Black people are because many of them are very defensive and if they aren't treated well..it's because they are Black . They'd actually say that to your face. "is it because I'm Black y'all racist.

I'm sorry you feel that way sir our bathroom is out of order..

F y'all racist our ancestors fought to use that bathroom

Ok sir I'm sorry you feel that way...

LOL  

Answer 20

Its really very simple, however most will disagree. As already stated a true racist has power to control his environment and other people. Therefore Blacks in America have never been in a position to be racist. What you see as Black racism is only a reaction to racism.

Having a Black Miss America pageant is not racist because when the pageant started Black women could not compete in the Miss America pageant. - not racist only a reaction.

Historical Black Colleges are not racist because when they began to open over 100 years ago, Blacks could not attend all White colleges and universities. James Meredith was the first Black person to attend the University of Mississippi in 1962...only 46 years ago.

(just examples)

For those who say these and other Black institutions are racist fail to acknowledge that if they didn't exist, many Blacks would be locked out of the mainstream culture.

Affirmative Action isn't reverse racism, it was an attempt to even a playing field that was never level. It was an attempt for justice.

Now in instances where a Black person is in a position of authority and they purposely do something against someone based on the color of their skin, that is racist.

Answer 21

some white ppl (ignorants) say that all black people are always complaining about white people's racism (i guess some of them are) and since those white ppl dont consider themselves racist but they seem to think all black ppl are the kinda black ppl who say that they think all blacks are more racist...

conclussion : we all are stupid

Answer 22

No I don't. I think people just use the color of a person skin as something to pick on them about because they know that you can't change it (normally)......The actress from Monster (C. Theron) is from Africa. So she is an African American but people don't think about things like that because her skin is white. I dislike people because of their insides not their outsides. I am a black female but I have "light" skin so I get it from both sides to white for the blacks and to black for the whites...so I just hope for better days.....good question!!!

Answer 23

These people need a reality check.  I have worked in predominately white environments.  I didn't base on my opinions on whites from them.  Although the workplace is where we will face the most racism or indifference.

Answer 24

blacks are the most racist

they think everyones out to get them

for some reason

ive noticed that wen sumthin happens to blacks, like sean bell's case,

they all made such an uproar

wait dont get pissed at me!

i completely understand why they would be, in that case

but wen sumthing happens to whites, nothing much happens

either they dont care or the govt feels that might make it look like theyre favoring a group cuz they give it so much media attention

but theyre already doing that for the blacks

Is anyone following this??!!

i dont think so...

Answer 25

I answered that question. Blacks aren't the only people who can be racist but in reality Most of the racist people that I'VE MET have been blacks.  

Answer 26

I am black and I am not racist. I mean I see nothing wrong with my skin color. All it is is a color. I mean what is the big deal, alot of black people are just as friendly as others. Most of us just act the way we do because people are always stereotypingg us, or bad mouthing us. When in all actually we a just as good as the next person. In some cases better. I mean why can't everyone treat each other like we are the same color. God does.

Answer 27

white people are the most racist

Answer 28

I think blacks are for sure. I've heard the term "cracker" or "h****y" or other terms like that used many more times than "*****r", ****...i can't even say it. Blacks use slavery as an escuse to be racist, even though it was almost 200 years ago. Whites can be punished for being racist, while blacks cant. It's sad and stupid, but its america, home of the blacks.

Answer 29

I dont think that it comes down to a particular group or race being "more racist".  I think it is a personal choice.  I know lots of people whose parents are racist but the kids arent.  

Answer 30

YES. GHETTO Blacks are very openly racist. Telling cashiers to go back to "their country."Burning stores. Robbing other ethnicity's in the ghetto,because it's an easy "l**k." esp; towards mexicans. there is a race war in l.a. between blacks and mexicans that started from rival gangs. This war escalated into full blown "murder ever black u see," and gang member blacks doing the same to mexicans. Killing people @ BUS STOPS, RESTAURANT PARKING  LOTS,WALKING DOWN SIDE WALKS,STANDING IN UR DRIVE WAY!!

   Chicago is not that much different. It looks like rival gangs fighting..blacks vs mexicans. peurto rican vs mexicans,or blacks..but LOOK CLOSER..It's actually racist gangs fighting..not just for money..But because the gangs(and some residents)don't want other races in "their neighborhoods." Don't blame caucasians.The major racist killers are BROWN and BLACK!!

Answer 31

The White Old people that are 60 or 30 are mostly racsit
