Answer 4

i also dont discriminate , i come from Venezuela , and there was little racism , but somtimes i find that the black people from Venezuela are a lot nicer and they dont have the whole "ghetto thug gangsta " thing going on like a lot (not all ) of them do here in the states so idk

Answer 5

I agree, many others don't.

Answer 6

I don't have ill feelings toward blacks, but I have gotten a lot of hatred toward be from black people. I hate when I am at wal-mart for example, and to be nice, I move out of the way to let someone pass (I have my children wiht me), but I can't tell you how many times I have heard the people get upset because they think I am just not wanting to walk past them because they are black. I do it for all people to be considerate. I think a lot of times, blacks think that us as whites are being rude, when we have no intention to be. It's just how they want to read into the situation.

Everything seems to be about race these days...no matter what a person says or does, the issue still comes up. If it's not "white guilt" or extreme resentment from whites, anger and frustration and a lot of defensiveness comes from blacks. Instead of moving forward, we are left to argue only about that. No solutions, no goals set...just arguing and neither side believes they bear any responsibility for anything. The absolute worst thing I have seen our country become is fake. You no longer want to be friendly in a store to just anyone...for fear you might say something wrong. If you do say something, you are tight-lipped and too hesitant to have a natural conversation without thinking "I hope I don't say something wrong." I was in a grocery store and the cashier was moving my ground beef across the register...it leaked, I let him know that it had gotten on his hands and pointed to the sanitizer wipes behind him. He said "no big deal" and I said.."yea, guess you would be kind of used to that."  BANG...he gets really angry and defensive and says to me "what exactly do you mean by THAT? what are you implying?"     Huh? Needless to say I avoid his line now.

Answer 8

I'm with you. I do not care what a person looks like.
