Is it normal to think black people are the racists?

I'm a white boy living in a ghetto city called Scranton, Pennsylvania and I'm afraid of getting stabbed walking the street by myself. I like black people even though all my experiences have never been good with them. They jump to the conclusion I'm a 'racist' because I'm white. How do I make black friends without getting beat up for being 'white'?

    Well, you see, when you're white it's racism and for some unknown reason it's okay when you're not white. Just another stupid double-standard life throws your way.

      I don't think that's true. Racism isn't only for white people. Who said this was okay.

      You're in a tough spot. People are going to judge you based on the color of your skin because that's what people do. It isn't right but they have a lot of bitterness that might get directed at you. Just be a good person and good people will be drawn to you, the color of their skin won't matter.

        Since when the hell do you hear about a white getting national attention from the news by getting shot by a cop, never. And how much did we hear about the two cops killed in new York hardly at all by we certainly heard about the black "non-racist" killer, and the cops were white and the other Asian. So don't give me that not true bullshit, black people are the worst kinds of racists, white people usually have no choice but to apologize I guess, but black people throw a fucking riot.

          Right, because when white people act out it isn't labeled a riot by the media. It's just protest or wild behavior. And since when is racism a competitive sport? Stop getting your panties in a twist. White privilege exists.

  • Black people are more rascist infact alot of black people today have made me dislike alot of blacks I can just imagine the black people in the past looking at the black people today and thinking to themselfes why the fuck did we bother.

  • I agree that there are double standards. Just look at standup comedians. Nearly all black comedians just spend the entire time talking about colour and the difference between black and white people, and they get away with it.

    A white comedian couldn't do that. Also, asian or indian comedians don't do this. Do white people allow it because they still feel guilty about slavery?

    What I don't understand is why they use the N word in every other sentence like it something cool to say. But if a white person says the N word holly he'll breaks out. If they hate that word so much shouldn't they stop saying it all the time.

    I see racist things white people say on these post and to be honest I understand why most people of color think they're all racist. I know they're not all racists but the last white guy I dated turned out to be a racist and I dropped him. Am I gonna assume all white men are racists? Nope. You should do the same, but first put aside all the negative stereotypes. Don't base your decisions based on color only! We are all human beings. There are good people out there and there are bad people out there, THAT IS OUR ONLY DIFFERENCE!

    Sorry to say this but modern minority groups believe since the whites did shit in the past they will repay the favour. They believe all white ancestors deserve it and often prematurely jump to the fact you are racist.

    I think partly for the fact they are very insecure with themselves and partly the fact they want to punish you for it. This does nothing but make us hate the minority even more because they just prove that hating them was the right decision. Which I do not think it was but they get arrogant about it.

    It is not your fault you are born white nor is it their fault for being born black. People are stupid to assume such things. So you just cant.

    These people will never except you because they are racist pigs and only want their own kind. You are not racist is is kind of saying "I hate all whites fucker so leave me alone"! Much like a white would have treated blacks in the past. Sorry to say but this situation is not something you can fix. Racist people are just racist people.

    Think about it if someone is secure is going to become paranoid about that thing they feel bad about. So they will jump the gun and assume everyone hates them, is looking at them, and will think everyone hates them based on their own insecurities. That is the problem here.

    You are not the one with a problem these people need therapy to get through those deep rooted security issue. That or they are just assholes and are just saying "I hate white people, so fuck you".

    I never bring up the subject of race and in not bringing it up or carrying on a conversation about it, I look far more racially open and secure in myself. To bring it up at all makes people uncomfortable, then they show it. C'mon, 300 years of slavery and you think they WONT still be a little sensitive? Your asking too much.

  • OK i know some people are gonna give me BS for saying this but I'm black but wish i was white i am extremely irritated by most black people i live around i don't want to be black because they ruin our reputation therefore making people think the entire race likes rap, they smoke, they are ignorant, loud, love fried chicken are ghetto etc. but I'm smart i like rock and 80s and i hate smokers my favorite food is lasagna not chicken,I'm shy plus i think white guys are freaking hot/sexy lol but getting to the point if they are the type that are type that are prejudice and don't want to be friends just because you are white make other friends there are tons of other people in this world and Scranton Pennsylvania in that matter

    You see too much in color... "I'm a 'white' boy", "I like 'black' people". How can you like all "black people" when you have not even met them all? I'm not racist and I can honestly say I don't like black, brown or white people... Not until I meet them anyway. Then I make my judgements based on the person, not the color or tone of their skin.

    Well, first you stop making judgements on people based on their skin colour. Then you stop trying to make friends with people just because they are a certain colour.

  • I'm racist as hell, and what OP is saying is what turned me in this direction. I'm not "ignorant" for being racist, I'm smart because I avoid violent minorities.

    "Well not ALL black people are bad!"
    -Well, have fun interviewing every black person in existence.

    First of all,Scranton is not ghetto! So far from it! And second, stop trying to make just black friends. Make friends with anyone of any color. Your obviously not from the hood if your trying to hard to blend and can't tell the difference between the hood and a neighborhood with black people

      No I'm not from the hood, hence my question. I only have a problem making black friends so I asked that specifically. And why I want black friends is because it's the only race I have a problem making friends with.
