When someone acts up in your race, do you feel like it embarrasses your entire race?

Question

Like, if your black and someone is acting loud and ignorant in a store. Do you feel ashamed that they are in your race. I'm black by the way.

Answer 1

No. I'm Black too, but its not something that has any effect on me personally. The only person that he/she is embarrassing is themselves, nobody else.

Answer 2

No, I am an individual.  The conduct of another person has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Answer 3

No.

One person couldn't possibly represent an entire race. And your race shouldn't determine who you are.  

Answer 4

OMG yes!!!

im black other.

So it makes me fink the other ppl will think we all tha same way when we dont, its annoying sometimes i wish i wasnt black....! but like i dont look 100% black neways so not really bothered at da same time.

Answer 5

Of course not.  That person is not the poster child for my people.  As a matter of fact, we don't have one.  I feel more embarrassed for the person themselves.

Answer 6

only Hitler embarrasses me with my race.....anyone else i just think was being stupid.. but i do find valley type girls rather embarassing.

Answer 7

- Nope

Answer 8

Yes I do and I understand you.

Answer 9

haha yes! i hate that especially when they act that way and then you get looks from the other people in the store or whereever you are, Its sooo unbelievable embarrassing!

Answer 10

How does that person humiliate me? Is that not paranoia or what?

Answer 11

No. That would be like me being embarrassed if I see a hooker on the corner selling her body because i'm also a woman.  That's her lack of morals, not mine.

Answer 12

No one mucks up in my race.
