We are people just like everyone is people and are as varied as any other group of people out there. Thats one of the coolest things about being black is that you can be or act however you want. Black people are more accepting of others. We permeate all cultures. We don't all get along. We are smart. We study all different subjects. We have the biggest Ds (lol). We are awesome students. We are awesome athletes. We are competitive. We work very hard. We can be lazy. We have the best sex. We love to dance. We don't bake as fast in the sun. We can be summon aggression on a level you can only dream of. We run the spectrum from gangster to President. Some of us have issues. Some of us struggle but we are in general repulsed by ignorance. Being black is awesome! Yes there is historical hardships and reasons to be upset with being black (like not having any ancestry if you are American) but all in all I wouldn't want to be anything other than what I am. |
Are you being serious or joking? First you say that there is no such thing as "how black people act" and that black people are just like everyone else, but then you start to list those things like "black people are more accepting of others".
Black people have darker skin. Thats all that there really should be. Skin color is skin color. Nothing more, nothing less.
Problem is not that people see that someone has darker skin, but all of the generalizations that they make based on that. People should be more vary of generalizations directed at things like skin color,gender, amount they play games, eye color, religion, nationality or sexual orientation. Even if there statistically some truth in some of the generalizations, people are still individuals and statistically differences are mostly between individuals and not between groups.
Treating people the same despite of their sexual orientation or gender is easier than treating people with different skin colors or religions the same. The effects of discrimination based on skin color/religion are passed down and that makes it more difficult. I don´t know how for example US can solve that problem.
