Question

Why do some black people here care so much about how white people may or may not perceive them?

Answer 1

I couldn't care less.

I'm just going to do me, people can cast an eye on anything they don't agree with, so why give them the benefit of satisfaction by losing precious sleep on what they think?

Answer 2

I  couldn't care less what any person of ANY race has to say of think about me. I live to please my self, not every person on this Earth, and if anyone has a problem with it, then that's THEIR problem, not mine. As long as I am happy, I don't care what people think.

Answer 3

     People should want to be perceived in a positive light.

     It should not be about one group caring nothing about what

     another group thinks but recognizing yourself as an individual

          Quiet as it's kept, white people are just people too and don't

     think, speak and perceive with one voice.

      

Answer 4

I used to care, but now I don't. Let them categorize me the way they see fit.

I know I'm not ghetto, a criminal, a baby-momma, a drug addict, stupid, or any other negative stereotype out there, so I don't care what they think of me.

Answer 5

I don't really give two middle fingers about them nor any one else among other races. It just shows you how ignorant how people can be. Caucasians just as well as ANY other race on here GET offended too at times... So why break it down by saying one race does it? Some people on here...I swear........

Answer 6

I don't put much stock into their asinine comments, they can't help it. They live in this little bubble outside of reality, UNTIL>>>>>> REALITY hits them!

Answer 7

It is silly to concern yourself with the thoughts of a non-existent collective, this much is sure.  A close second would be the utter nonsense of assuming commonality with a collective group based on skin color like "black" or "white."  

Is it not equally ridiculous for a "white" person to be concerned about being perceived as "racist?"  

The manipulation of the minds by mass media and sheep herders (race hustlers) is evident in the language I see here on YA.

Can the mouse find it's way out of the trap beforre the clock expires?

The language is the trap and you are the mouse.

Answer 8

Not so much, I use to care but noticed how silly it is. Like if a white person does a crime they blame him. And for example when O.J killed his wife you should of seen so many questions asking (sometimes they still do) will ask blacks why did he do that, and why do we feel he didn't kill his wife..............like because he is black we know and judge us as a whole and not the person. But you are right we should just stop caring so much, and its nothing we can do to change a person's mind and were not all the same just like any other person.

Answer 9

I sure don't care.

But it's nice to knock some sense into the 'assumers' of the bunch.

Answer 10

I don't think it's so much that they care what people think, but some of the questions people post on here are so rude and offensives towards black people, they are naturally going to become defensive and get pissed! Any raciest questions, no matter if it's aimed at blacks, whites, Asians or any other culture is just totally uncalled for!

Answer 11

I don't care what they think of me we are all human
