Do the people of your race ever embarrass you?

Question

When some ugly social facts are revealed and the truth is staring us in the face. The institutionalized racism of whites throughut American history and up to this very day. The long history of social shortcomings of blacks since the Civil Rights Movement.

Answer 1

Sometimes

Answer 2

yea,they do sometimes

Answer 3

Only because idiots like to generalize and I know regardless if I have a masters or Ph.D. I'll end up in a conversation having to defend some 8th grade drop out, because people refuse to look at black people as individuals.

Answer 4

sometimes. i hate when people fit into the negative types. it's really sad

Answer 5

Well, since I'm black and white I guess I can say they both get on my nerves.I'm not gonna go into detail about this because I would never stop typing.

Answer 6

I don't feel  guilty for anything, I didn't do anything wrong and I don't owe anything to anyone especially black people. The only thing that embarrasses me about my own race are the naive self righteous white liberal do-gooders who try to collectively blame all white people for Americas racial past and act like their white *** doesn't apply to this.

Answer 7

No, not really.

There are idiots in every race. With that understood, I just try to speak for myself, and not my entire race. And I figure if someone wants to judge me because of what an idiot of my race said, they're not worth my time.

Answer 8

Are you daft?  The only person who can embarrass me is myself.  I reflect on me and I represent myself very well, thank you very much.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

yes everyone thinks that white girls are easy an S****y...but i believe in no s*x until marriage..i am 17 an still a virgin ;)

Answer 11

Yes!!!!  

STOP CLOWNING!!!

Little knuckleheaded young brotha's need to PULL Y'ALL'S d**n PANTS UP!  And what's up with the grillz and gold teefus?  That sh*t just looks ignorant, yo.  And take that silly do-rag off.  

And sista's:  Why you gotta show off how loud and ignorant you can be in public?  Cussin' and whatnot.  Especially if you're big and greasy and have come out of the house without your hair done and wearing some mess that you know d**n well you shouldn't have on.  

It sucks, but the sad fact is that thanks to negative media spin, everyone EXPECTS for black people to act exactly like you all are acting (look at how people generalize right here on Y!A).  And yes, the rest of us do have to suffer in some form or another because of other people's negative expectations.  And you are not helping the situation.  Ignorant behavior is not cute!

Answer 12

Yes unfortunately. But I am strong enough to know that it does not reflect on even the majority of us who are normal. Those individuals only make themselves appear ignorant and it has no reflection on me.

Answer 13

some people do especially when im out somewhere and i hear somebody black with no home training just loud and obnoxious it's very embarrassing. we're not all like that

Answer 14

Absolutely not. Nor do I get embarrassed when I see a hooker selling herself for $20 bucks cuz she's a female.  I am my own individual person.

Answer 15

h**l ya....it's so embarassing to think that more white dudes molest kids, cuz that's just wrong in so many ways, or white people are these major serial killers like wth?...or very racist people, who make the rest of white people look just as bad, cuz not all white people feel that way, and i know the negative stuff sticks longer than a nice comment..... and of course people with mullets lol!!! i'm just like hang my head in shame
