Is it normal to wish i wasn't black?

I hate being black. Everyone stereotypes me in the worst possible way and it's all because of ignorant hooligans who share my complexion. I mean the "ghetto" culture, who butcher the English language, commit crimes, and wear ridiculously long claws and pants with the waist past their knees.

Wherever I go, it is thanks to these people I will endure prejudice. I can't even have black friends because the majority I have tried to befriend ridiculed me and said I "act white". In high school, I had to go to school with those kinds of people and was bullied for not being as stupid as them. That is the only group I have come across that picks on members of its race who aren't dumb and violent.

That is why I hate being black. Is it normal?

      I try not to, but I hate 98% of them because they're just stupid. They remind me of facists as you must act stupid for them to be seen with you.

        It is perfectly normal. If we like it or not some of our race might do so well. We will get judged for their actions not ours. However it also goes to cultural value. Races all have their own culture and own values. Some value things like who has a nice car and others family. Some value education and some value money. Whoever you are your race is going to follow you. White people will suffer for the sin of their ancestors. Germans will suffer for theirs. Black people and even Mexicans. I think all of us should try to better our race by being a good example and not falling into the category that was picked for us. I think this is also a source of a lot of racism. The fact that people say blacks must be stupid or whites must be nazi.

    There are reasons why "ghettos" exist and it is not due to the failure of the black "race". Rather, the blame can be placed on those who identify with the white race and its culture. When you look at the history of race relations in this country in addition to the continued structural disadvantages that plague brown-skinned individuals, it is no wonder things are in the current state.

    If I were black, which I am not, I would hope that I could understand this, accept it, and try to help my fellow humans understand as well. I wish you peace and hope you find a brighter road ahead. Read Cornell West, William Julius Wilson, Michelle Alexander, and Tim Wise. Maybe that will shed some light on things. Michelle Alexander's recent book, The New Jim Crow, is especially insightful. Good luck.

    I think black people can be very beautiful and intelligent people, so don't let this untrue stereotype of your race make you want to change.

    I agree with Unimportant.

    You can't change the hand that you've been dealt so you might as well stand tall and be proud of who you are. Don't let society bring you down.

    I often wish I weren't white but Arab or Turkish or something. They got the most beautiful girls with smooth skin and black silky hair and as a balding white male I find them next to impossible to attract.

    you hate being black the same reason why our culture is prejudiced against people who are black. So long as you dress like "a white boy" you will be prejudiced far less than if you were wearing a T-shirt just one size larger than you. I think its normal that you hate the color of your own skin, especially when everyone else is ruining it for you.

    Black culture needs another revolution and i have a good feeling it will come in the form of extreme sports (skating, bmx, etc) led by a HUGE punk rock resurgence before it transitions to hip hop and r&b reborn and dominated by asians.

    It is normal but I don't judge people on their skin color. If they are that shallow to judge you on your skin color then screw them. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside. Beauty is only skin deep.

    I don't know what to tell you. You must be the first honest black person I've ever come across.

    It's unfortunate that you were born a race that doesn't suit your personality, but there's nothing you can do about it, so you'll just have to make the best of your situation.

      Thank you. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders as well. I just don't understand why some CHOOSE to live where I used to live. I guess to be around others like themselves but, personally, I would nuke the ghetto.

        I think all would if they could but the thing is people from the ghetto would flee and move somewhere else. So would ruin nice places. So it would not work.
