I wouldn't say racist, but mostly just a little more cautious. In my experience black people are more violent. I know plenty of black people who aren't that way at all, but its just my experience. In elementary and high school, black people would pick on me.

Black people are more intimidating anyway.


So then you are racist. Why are black people anymore violent than White people? We have killed billions of humans throughout history. Up until the 1960's and maybe even later in some areas, whites oppressed the African Americans in AMerica. Probably even all over the world. Was it BLACK OR WHITE that Just Murdered a dozen people in Colorado?

I'm sorry, but I don't see that as racism at all. It's more like a social issue in America. I actually know people who will have issues with black Americans but at the same time have absolutely no problems with blacks from the Carribian or from the UK. As for me, I do not judge by race, but I do find that I will be more cautious about people from certain towns, cities, or communities. This is because I've known enough people from particular areas to know that there is an entire culture of fucked up people from certain places. 

Also, your arguments about how whites have done more damage to the world than blacks have no meaning. Blacks have enslaved others and dealt with slave trade (it's how America got it's first generation of slaves). We've had oppressive black dictators, black war criminals, and mass genocides caused by blacks, as well as public shootings. Look at Rewanda. That's a perfect example. However, that to me is not a racial issue. It is a humanitary issue. All races are equally responsible for all human oppression.

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

1 out of 2 an't bad. dutch women are hot. well some of them are lol.

to the op. it's mainly a certain situation, fear, cultural stereotypes, but fear mainly, or just a need to blame some one for things beyond your control.



HesAPooka
what, thast you are Romanian? xD :P
i wasnt too serious dude
read my second comment



No, racism is ignorance at its finest. And even if there was a gene that made certain races extra violent that wouldn't be a reason to hate them, that would be a reason to sympathize with them.



I do have to say...

I freaking HATE Asians!! Especially those one's from that one place that starts with a K! I think it's China... those are the only Asians out there anyway!!

Maybe I was exaggerating. I was only basing that statement on the kids that I few up with in school. That's all we were, kids. i know there were white boys that bullied me in school, but i think i most clearly remember the 2 black boys, because I was most afraid of them. Probably because at the time, i wasnt used to seeing black people, and i didnt understand why they were black, and we fear what we don't understand.

I'm not saying all black people are violent. I'm not saying that at all. I'm not saying white people aren't violent. Don't assume that I absolutely hate black people. I give everyone a chance. Everyone. 

 I try not to judge anybody if I don't know them. If I see a homeless person on the street I won't judge them, black white or purple. I don't know how they got into their situation, I'm not going to assume he was a drug dealer that ran into some kind of trouble. 

Whether you like it or not, there is still racism in America, of all shapes and sizes . The form I see most is the downtown area of a city will have a large portion of black people, and many of the whites moves to the suburbs when they came in.

Im only racist towards racist. Racist for me is synominus to ignorance. Or also another word to fear.

Beeing racist in my country is beeing as stupid as one can be. We were first habitated by the native americans (Tainos), then became colony to spain and also to france, where occupied to england and became a territory of disputes and war betwen all the old empairs (Spain, England, Portugal, Holland), including all sort of pirates, practitlly a battle field on those years, and in recent years (1914-1918) ocupied by the US, and belive it or not we were the first country in America that got their independence from free country of the new world, the second after US, that was Haiti, the richest colony in america for a long time, and not to colonist country as spain like most latin america country. I deeply belive that no country in the world is more mix up than us jejejje. But here you can find a lot people that dont like much the hatians, but not for racist matter.

Trivia: Where am I from?

P.s excuse my english, not my language



Quick tip: Nobody who's racist actually thinks they're racist. It's always a matter of "well in my experience" or "but it's the truth" in their eyes. I've met dozens of racist people (my parents being some of them, even some of my best friends were racist, in a more subtle way towards very specific groups), and none of them actually think they're racist.

I had one friend who, I'm kidding you not, once said, "I'm not racist, but those fucking indians are all drunks." I laughed because he just couldn't understand what was wrong about his statement.

My dad's the worst though. He honestly thinks that the "Ragheads" are all trying to slowly infiltrate our (Canadian) government and force us to adopt their laws and customs...so they can take over and kill us all. I wish I was kidding. his proof? he heard it on some Talk Radio show when he was trucking....and he believed it because HIS trucking company (all whites) had to have limiters on their trucks, but the 'ragheads' were able to drive faster. in his mind this meant that they got special legal exceptions, and the only possible explanation was a conspiracy.

My father is a practical man, more than capable of holding his own when it comes to manly things like auto mechanic stuff, carpentry, or plumbing (you know, man jobs), but he's kind of retarded otherwise.

The one is godist.... maybe the actual word is "atheist". But that is not entirely true either. He just has certain issues with some aspects of religion.


Those "aspects" would be when people try to control how others should and shouldn't live their lives, using their faith as justification.



I respect all nations and cultures since they have all been through a lot. That being said I do say what can be considered racist words with my close friends joking around mainly calling each other Jews (usually in an British accent because for it just sounds funny to us, we also like to do an Indian accent like "Oh my God" since their accents crack us up). Some reason it is funny to act racist sometimes just for the fuck of it with each other. I see no harm poking fun at different groups of people as long as you aren't serious.
