Is it normal for me to hate a whole ethnic group?

Ok, long-time reader of is it normal and first time questioner.
I am deeply religious with strong morals. In the past I would steal, lie, cheat, and hurt other people without having a second though (is it normal for that in another topic lol).
Since I've developed my faith, I no longer entertain thoughts of harming myself of others like I used to. I'm now a total pacifist.
However, a huge stumbling block for me is the difficult time I have of thinking or looking at black people without feeling something negative towards them.
I am caucasion, ancestry mostly from Ireland. I grew up and live in New Mexico. I was given a rich, classical education, and my IQ is 135-145.
I rarely even see black people, but I hear about them on the news and its always about them doing some really atrocious stuff.

So, IIN? And Why?

    With an irish ancestry you should be able to sympathize, to some extent, how prejudices are often inaccurate representations of reality. Throughout most of Irelands history with England irish people were seen as an inferior race of lazy, barbarous, drunkards. They were even called "white negroes" when they first immigrated to the United States. Does that adequately define you? If it does not, then you should acknowledge that your personal perspective with regard to black people is just as inaccurate and archaic as the comments made about your ancestors.

    Is it normal? Well, racism is sadly still prevalent in the world so I guess you'd still be well enough into the bell curve. Is it right to hate them all? Definitely not. Not all black people behave atrociously the same way not all Irishmen are paragons of virtue (as you've illustrated).

    Try to get to know some of them. Maybe you can dispel some of their preconceived notions about Caucasians too.

    Completely normal. You can take an animal out of Africa, but you can't take the animal out of an African. Fucking lazy ass white people ruined this country for us when they decided they needed to enslave people from another continent.

    Unfortunately, most of my relatives have the same mentality as you when it comes to black people. The best thing to do is get to know people as individuals.

    You see white people on the news shooting up schools, malls, school campuses, and movie theaters. People regardless of their race will continue doing "atrocious" stuff.

    You yourself just stated that you've lied, stolen, and hurt others in the past. Any individual of any race can do those things. You just happen to be white (I'm assuming).

    Hating an entire race of people is not the way to go. Give people a chance.

      That's the thing though. Most black people won't even let you get to know them as individuals if you are white (well at least white men).
      And as far as crime goes, black people account for 7 times more murders per capita than whites.

      I'm no racist, but I hate most black people, aka niggers. I've met a few black people who were exceptionally nice and cool to talk to, but the rest of them just give you a look like what the fuck are you looking at, don't talk to me, move the fuck along, or they'll even straight up say that or just ignore you outright.

    If you're open towards to doing so, I would suggest getting to know some blacks and judging them as individuals and not as an entire group. :)

      I did a little digging and saw you said you were black in another post.
      Explains why youre ripping on me and my religion. I want to get to the point where i love everyone, but its so hard when black people act the way you do.

        Yeah because i'm the elected representative of all the black people in the world right?
        I suppose is should think that all white people hate black people simply because you as a white person hates blacks right?
        LMAO, what kind of religion do you follow, Christianity?
