Why is it that black people are put down by every race....?

Question

I mean, i had this mexican immigrant say he was better than me, and I'm thinking for one, your here illegal... idk it just seem like every single race feel like they can always look down on black people.. does any one feel this way, or am i asking a dumb question

Answer 1

Actually there are people who understand us. it depends on the people you talk about. Latinos, Islanders, and certain Muslims, etc. The people who hate us are the people with the most successful cultures(North Asians, Indians, Persians, etc)

Answer 2

Every race has it's ppl that are just downright ignorant &/or racist, it's wrong i know...but well well well, look whose also displaying that type of behavior...?  (hypocrite)

***MYSTIC: Mexicans have also help built this country (specifically the southwest) also you said "mexicans have always hated black people"  really?  all of us?

Do you also consider this hatred!?  (just one of many ex.)

Answer 3

it's not a dumb question but it's not entirely true.. every race gets put down because if you think about it when someone insults someone else they chose the things that are visible... like if someone has a big nose theyll make fun of their nose if its a chinese person they make fun of their eye shape.. mexican = landscapers= dirty, black people= skin color, middle eastern = towel heads... I don't like any of this either but everyone gets put down whether it be race, age, gender, etc

Answer 4

Its all about ego and self pride to these types of people. The people who look down on a person because of their outward appearance haven't come to realize what being a good human being is all about. I'm sorry you have to face this type of adversity in your life. Those people will one day face a greater judgment and they will be embarrassed and ashamed. Don't ever stoop down to their unthoughtful level. Just remember that your going to achieve more in this life then they ever will. For when the way is rough, be happy, your patience has a chance to grow.

Answer 5

Racist agendas in place for hundreds of years created the social ladder and put blacks at the very bottom.  Ignorant people of today still agree with that ladder.

Answer 6

I am black and i can't be put down,

i don't let others insignificant opinions

eat away at me.

There is no one on God's green earth that

has the power to make or break me & that's

the truth.

Answer 7

1. you cannot generalize everyone by a mexican immigrant

2. they don't have an issue with BLACK people. IT's just that black people are generally very built and also statistically most involved in crimes. so when you see a black person on the road during late evening with noone else around, we get scared. but, no one has anything particular against them- esp. in places of work and universities!

Answer 8

I think part of it is that historically it has happened so I think it's almost commonplace and a comfort to continue to do this. "Well they werent sh*t before so they must not be sh*t now mentality". Media, etc feeds into as well - highlighting the negative and the so called unusual (wow, a black man running for president? heavens forbid) and forgetting all the positive, etc. So having lived abroad - if all you see and hear is what is portrayed on television you definitely continue to believe that black folks "aint about nothing"!

Answer 9

"I'm thinking for one, your here illegal"

Two wrongs don't make a right. They put down black people to feel better about themselves, just like you did right there. I suggest you practice what you preach.

Welcome to my world sister...I'm a white male!

Answer 11

because people are jealous that we the black people are the foundation of america.although we do not make up a lot of the population, we are the peple. look at barack obama. its history in the making. mexicans have always hated black people

Answer 12

Well if you are an American citizen and he is illegal I would love to but my white foot up his illegal @ss.

I have very few problems with black people in the day to day affairs of life, but the problems I do have are more of a political and ideological nature.   Race doesn't have anything to do with it.

Illegals can all go to h**l, that would be my preferred deportation destination for them.

Answer 13

you are right only 50% block people have a bad history for Ben criminals,of curs this was created by the whites, for not giving them a job. blacks was and still in some extend not proffered for work,but this is fate a way, to day block people are well educated and Hall a top jobs.the Creation of discrimination is and continues to be America problem only. in European countries is very little or not exist at all. but Mexicans they should look their selves. first.and then took.

we all have something to tell.but no one have anything to say about the Greeks at all.it will be to stupid  to say something about the Greeks.but the Greeks can very easily pout others down.all because the history.block are historically discriminated. to day the blocks are very gentle people, and can hall a good conversation with others and there women  show the natural beauty's, well trim and very proud.

Answer 14

one answer.

They have not established themselves in history as a superpower before.

The egyptians, the chinese, the europeans, The indians, the mongols, the arabs(islamic times, ottoman empire)...on and on...

the africans, in history, have never been tied to being big successful and rich civilizations.

That is yes, Racist, and every race is capable of everything equally. And to have ppl look up to you, you have to be big and mighty first.
