8 reasons why white people fear black people... do you agree with this?

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

I agree with alot of this. When u become "aware" of racism and systematic oppression it makes it a task to even be in the same room with a white person KNOWING what u know they think about you. Not saying ALL white people carry hatred in their hearts for blacks but i do believe they all feel that they are superior

This is why I had to move out of Pittsburgh. Once I got older, I just couldn't live in a predominantly white city/area anymore...it was too mentally and physically draining...and stressful as well. Also, I was just sick and tired of feeling like the token black guy damn near everywhere I go. It's like when youre in that position, white people think they can fukk with you and talk to you any way and think it's cool cause they said "I'm not racist but" beforehand or "I didn't mean to offend you" afterwards...just dealing with them on a day to day basis can be stressful. And alienating, and just being black, or a minority in those areas...that projection comes into play...that'll make you wish you weren't black...that'll make you wish you were white...even though there's nothing wrong with me and there's everything wrong with them and the system and society they have that even makes these type of thoughts come into a black person's head.

I want to say to the black reading this-- WE DO NOT WANT TO HATE. I REPEAT --> WE DO NOT WANT TO HATE BUT ITS HARD NOT TO WHEN WE SEE THE PROBLEMS THE BLACKS ARE CAUSING. When 95% of the violence and crime is committed by blacks, can you blame us for stereotyping?"

This quote makes me just

Especially considering I've seen plenty of newspapers profiling crimes and criminals, and mugshot photo databases and the majority of the people in them....are....WHITE!

How does 12% of the country's population commit 95% of the crime?

This is why education is so important for the whites that really want to know. They are completely ignorant to what is going on in this country.

I remember in college I got asked a general question like why do black people hate white people so much. I responded by asking why do white people hate black people, and it was like a light bulb went off all of a sudden and he was like well we don't, at least not all of us...

at that moment I just hit him with the and went about my business

Honestly I'm ashamed to be white

All the fukk shyt I read in the news everyday has me

White people are easily the most entitled self serving bigoted people on the planet. The worst part is it doesn't even seem to affect their conscience.

Luckily my parents aren't like this, and raised me much differently.

Growing up poor not knowing my father helped shape my world view too.

But I see the shyt on a daily basis, some white people will even say some straight racist off the wall shyt right to me like there's no chance I'll disagree or be offended

American white people are like the Romans, they think nothing can touch them. But I know the fall is coming, and deserved. Unfortunately I'll probably be grouped with them, but who am I too blame?

I argue with bigots all the time, sometimes the logic they use is so

I hate white people

Spoiler

I'm different brehs, I swear

I believe you, I've known some genuine people (white) in my lifetime. My thing is, what makes you understand. Like when you see us discussing these things on the coli (not the hateful stuff or venting stuff) but real issues we see. How a majority of us are oppressed and really don't know it. Like what is your POV. I know as a black man since I've learned so much here over the years I have to consciously turn off my radar when I leave my home to not think about what's going on, on a mass level you know. I have come to the conclusion that we are today a colonized people (not really citizens). And for the most part we are just tolerated on this land but that there are still real plans to one day make us like the Native Americans where we live totally separate & not thought of in America. I truly feel that this is a mass plan.

I could be crazy or paranoid but just learning how the Native Americans were done, we do seem to be following that same path just on a longer course.

Logic and Science have always been my first passions.

I use logic to deduce most everything in my life. And a lot of (all of) what I observe in racism has no logic behind it.

I don't understand the bigotry, or how it's so engrained and seemingly built in to some people. And the atrocities people will commit in the name of said beliefs sicken me.

I also hate classism and maybe growing up poor and fatherless helped me with that point of view.

Basically I don't understand hatred for another human being without knowing anything about them. Race is just a series of evolutionary turns in different geographic areas. I don't understand how two beings that are 99% the same with a few minor aesthetic differences can hate each other for such small differences.

I think fear is the biggest motivator in racism. People fear what they don't know and what's not familiar to them. I don't fear what I don't know. It gives me a sense of wonder. I want to understand what I don't know, not jump to judgement and lie to myself that it's fact.

I treat everything in my life this way. If I can't logically reason something, then I just don't subscribe to it.

I also see hypocrisy for what it is. I've seen so many white people be piece of shyt liars, not hard workers, screw each other, and generally live evil lives. Then turn around and shyt on minorities for the same thing. And half the time it's made up lies.

I also grew up with a best friend who was puerto rican in a mostly white school. And watched kids play 'green card' with him, call him a spic, and generally treat him with disrespect for no reason other than he was puerto rican in a suburb. Even trick or treating at age 13 we got stopped by police about some smashed pumpkins on a street we never went on.

The chief of police straight up asked him and a friend from Laos what 'they were doing in this town'.

I never understood this, it was just

These were my best friends and I couldn't understand it.

There's more insight I could give you, but I don't want to ramble too long.

This is a good post and kinda typical of the kinds of things we deal with. I didn't understand the hatred either when unwashed young but as I got older it started to make more and more sense if you can even say that. Granted I don't really have to deal with overt racism that much anymore, but I'm still aware of it.

I remember one of the best examples I had about systematic racism was from my white neighbor who's from England, we were outside talking one day in my back yard and he was telling me about how American black people are portrayed on tv there and I was and I was like but you were the first person to come greet me and you come over all the time, how would you know I wasn't like those people on tv. His response was let me tell you about propaganda my friend, it's used to reinforce the ignorance within. It can be used to either build bridges or destroy them pal. Besides if I believed everything I saw or read no offense I'd expect you to be a rapper or athlete, how stupid would I be to think every black person raps and plays sports?

 

[HoloGraphic]

If only it was that easy to ignore...especially when they pull all th estrings in this society/world and are the ones you have to go to for a job, loan, money, food, clothes, shelter, justice, freedom...hell damn near everything, and their hatred of you can be the factor that decides whether you get any of those things

So, yeah...you really can't.

This is true. They want you submissive. I have experienced this myself.

 

[Ken Mercilus]

I agree with most of those reasons. Cant get with the genetic annihilation part though.

 

[MarioDaDon]

The primary thing some white people fear is an educated black person who knows his history . Just imagine if black people were taught in an Afrocentric education system from Kindergarten to grade 12 as oppose to a fabricated sugarcoated Eurocentric education system thats saturated with lies to make the white man look superior like they were the first civilization on earth ? Imagine if every black person in America was aware of this ?

nah breh I appreciate the logical discussions on here any time it occurs.

 

[Zardoz]

yup. you're a victim of white peoples' fears and insecurities. You never made any mistakes; you never could! As a black man in America you lack agency. White people..... all mistakes can be traced back to white people, controlling black bodies. With magnets. Yup. Magnetism is the white man's evil way of controlling your thoughts and turning you into a victim. There is nothing you can do but move to Nigeria. Black people clearly have it better in Nigeria because of the lack of magnetic mind control among whites.

These are all facts, contained in REAL academic literature (not that CAC bullshyt from MIT)

you must be out of your god damn mind to ask me a question like that

i'll put it this way: before i came to thecoli, i actually had a positive opinion about black people. I was curious about what y'all thought, and why. I was optimistic, and wanted to understand black problems. I wanted to discuss things and take y'all's concerns seriously, as one human being to another.

But now, after reading what y'all really think about whites, i take it all back. I see now that your views have diverged so far from mine that reconciliation is foolish on my part. Y'all genuinely think that anything you do towards whites is fair game, like y'all gonna talk shyt, and rob us, and kill us "cause slavery." i wouldn't piss in you motherfukkers' faces if it was on fire. I hate you motherfukkers more than Al-Qaeda now, and plan to vote for racist Republicans until the day I die, to keep you racist, hateful fukks from gaining any control over me. I will be DAMNED if I let any of y'all oppress me.

Does that explain "my disagreement" well enough for you?

This sounds too ridiculous and cartoony to be real.

But if it is...

The only time I was ever excepted as a true human being was when I went to Haiti.

I felt like the only time I was was when I went to St.Croix back in 1996 when I was 12. My mom and grandmother are from there.

Deep down inside I've always known America is not for me.

I'm happy to be in New York now...In a diverse atmosphere...but now it's disneyland. I just yearn for a simpler life away from the fakeNess of american life.

It's not about going back to Africa to me...but going forward. I just need to understand what this life is outside of this hateful spoiled just insane and nonsensical place called America.

Like I was in Times Square on monday...and it just felt just confounding....it was too much. I've seen it so many times but it almost just seemed like a joke. This is American life.

My dream is I wake up in Africa surrounded by beautiful nubian queens in headers and ornate dresses after being in murky new York streets surrounded by nypd and the sound of the subway...and they tell me that I'm back home...

Naw yo, don't feel bad or ashamed or even classify yourself by your race.
It's all about your quality as an individual.

Honestly breh, you should never be ashamed of that.

I believe you, I've known some genuine people (white) in my lifetime.

Y'all really falling for that fake ass white compassion, huh
