To ALL rascists; What is your excuse?

Question

Why all the hate?

I tell you what, I used to get jumped after school by 7 black kids just for being white. It happened at least once a week. I have had guns pointed at me by black kids. My best friend when I was little, a blck kid, his dad made him stop playing with me because I was white, his dad lied and told him I used a word I didn't even know at the time. I was stabbed by a black guy in Idaho for no reason.

By most accounts I would have a lot of excuses to hate black people. But I don't. Because I have also had white people point guns at me. Because one of the sweetest girls I know is mulatto. Because there are jerks and nice people of every color. So if I don't hate after all of this;

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE???

Answer 1

Where in Idaho did you run into a black guy ?

But seriously, good for you, your attitude will pay off in the long run.  Just keep out of dark alleys.

Answer 2

People Hate out of ignorance and fear.

I grew up near the clan compounds in the south and I have never seen such blinding hatred out of ignorance. They do not understand or appriciate any other culture.   All cultures have their values and their places in the world it is not our Job to hate anyone but to try and understand them.

Answer 3

I am Indian (india) and I went through alot of rascism too. People use to call me a iraqi and I am not even Iraqi! I tell them I am Indian but they tell me I am  lieing. How pathetic is that! I can't answer your question because I am not rascist either, so I am looking forward to the answers here. :-)

Answer 4

I don't hate all black people, they don't treat me nearly as bad as they did to you. It's just those few who treat me like dirt.

Answer 5

You have been through a lot yet do not hate/discriminate, I congratulate you for having more sense than most. I must also give you props for attempting to tackle such a controversial and taboo issue in this way, but feel there will be some pitfalls and backlash to this post. There are people out there who hide behind the shield of anonymity the internet provides and will give you answers so obnoxious it will do nothing for the field of race relations and actual progress in our country. (Prime example, think about what you would do if you were either invisible or invincible. You would be surprised how our deviant desires come out. I personally would raid a Best Buy, but I digress.)

I'm not sure if you are genuinely curious about the reasons for hatred and discrimination, but I think you will not get a straight answer that satisfies you on this site. It will all be mental masturbation.

I realize this is a rather cynical and even comes off as slightly misanthropic, but in this case I would really enjoy to be proven wrong.

Hope you get the answer you're looking for.
