The good ol', "Black people are being racists too!" accusation. The "Black people used to live in fear, now white people live in fear" statement. Sorry, not buying that, that does not happen. Black people do not and will not harm white people just for being white like I'm hearing, I get sick of people acting scared around black people like they've ever done anything. Have you ever been turned down by a job due to your race, been called ugly due to your skin, had a potential mate outright say they don't like [your race] people even if you're nice, been judged the moment you walk in a room just from your skin, limited on the friends you can make? No? Then you must not be living as a black person. You don't know if the person you are greeting will smile at you or frown. You cannot say that you understand what blacks go through if you are not black.
Yes, no one likes the overly ghetto black people. Yes, not all black people are negative while some really are negative. But for a race that had their history and culture stolen and continue to get judged even when they aren't doing anything wrong, it is understandable to be careful of white people. Not excusing blacks to be negative but people need to own up to what their race does behind the scenes instead of pointing fingers like it doesn't exist.
I haven't seen anyone on here say, "I may not be black, but I understand what they went through." I for one have no idea, only what I've learned.
And as for the "I get sick of people acting scared around black people like they've ever done anything.", are you saying black people haven't done anything wrong? Everyone has. I don't care what color you are, if I'm alone on the streets and 2 white guys with baggy clothes and do rags come up to me, I'll be scared. If two black guys dressed in Sunday best approach me, I won't be scared. It's all about how you carry yourself, and how the media portrays people and their race as a whole. It's fucked up.
My post was more of a defense for black people since people seem to like giving the idea that some black people not liking white people is racist and therefore is hypocritical without first admitting that a lot of unfair things happen in a not so obvious but under-the-rug fashion that people seem to be forgetting. In the "I get sick of" line, of course I didn't mean that black people don't do anything wrong, that is just switching the words around. I already mentioned that some are definitely negative and all races are negative, just as you said. But look at the posts, people are basically saying "Yeah black people can be the most racist of all", but why is that exactly, you'd think they have been through horrible treatment in the past and present that other races can't relate to or something and now have a hard time trusting others.
My main problem is that no one addresses "why" black people "seem" racist and it isn't racism, its being "aware" of what could be. That doesn't mean a black person should straight diss a white person as that is wrong and backwards, yes, but it has happened to black people all the same and in more important parts of life. Don't worry, we're saying the same things, I'm just being more direct about overlooked issues instead of being overly nice.
Ah, that's my bad then, I misread it and got defensive. I'm glad we have the same views then. I'm not saying our view is perfect, but I will say if more people could at least TRY to understand what black people went through, and apply that to how some act today, racism wouldn't be such a problem, at least not between white and black people.
Is it normal that I get constant racist attitude from black people?
