Racism - Why Do So Many People Hate Black People?

Well I can say from personal experience and the road of hard knocks that racism is the easiest thing in the world to teach and learn, but the hardest thing to change once it has been established.

First of all, let me explain my own racial background, my father was half German and half Irish, my mother was half Scottish and half Native American.

Just to be a hypocritical bigot my self, Irish are known for their hot tempers where they get angry in the blink of an eye, and Germans are known for getting angry about something and staying that way for their whole lives, so that tells you what kind of a man my father was.

My father hated “Mexicans”, the modern term being Latin American, and when I was 5 years old he never failed to provide some great insight into the life of a “Mexican”. He didn’t even call them names particularly, he would just say the word “Mexican” like it was something nasty, with great emphasis, and make a face about it.

At 5 years old I didn’t know the difference between Italian, an Indian, or a Mexican, all I knew was Mexicans must be bad. I knew they had darker skin and dark hair and brown eyes. That’s really all I had to identify them. I immediately identified my self as different from them and made it a point not to play with anyone I thought was a “Mexican”.

The great irony of that was the kid I spent the most time with was half Mexican, but he had blond hair and blue eyes, so I didn’t know his father was a Mexican biker! LOL!

Then the real tragedy of the situation hit one fine day when I was being superior and telling another little Mexican kid to get lost, my mother witnessed it. When I came in she asked me “Why were you so mean to that little boy?”
And I said “But Mom, he’s a “Mexican.”, just like my Dad would say.

That nearly broke my mother’s heart, and she was so ashamed of me for what I had done to him. Now year’s later, I am ashamed of it also, and it took years to get where I didn’t automatically have that reaction to someone with brown features.

That’s how fast it can be taught, how fast it can be learned, and most people never get over it once it is established. It’s a basic mechanism of the human mind, and it needs to be recognized as such. It’s just like a drug, you find any way you can to excuse it and justify it, but in the end, it makes you a worse person.

 

LMAO, cause Perry, Paul, and Gingrich do not have a black grandmother.

 

Wrong. Liberals (i.e. Democrats) support affirmative action because they have almost no principles whatsoever beyond doing whatever it takes to get a large group of people to vote for them. That's not very much different than the Republicans - it's more a matter of relative degrees to which each are willing to stoop. The Democrats are EXTREMELY stoopified - stoopid even!

 

You see in the first 450 years (give or take) of the 500 year history of this nation treating black people like crap was not only codified into law, but the government helped the private citizen do it. It is only within the last 50 years when the government codified into law that we need to treat each other humanely regardless of race, and if you treat black people (or any other racial group) like crap you get into trouble.

Those that "hate black people" are just unconsciously spewing the rhetoric that allowed the first 450 years of our nations history to take place, while still idealistically being the "land of the free". That's why there is no new information being passed by those arguing on the side of discrimination, the ages old black people are dumb/criminals has been a argument for racists for centuries used to excuse their vile thoughts/behavior.

This guy is great!​

 

So if a white person has never been around black folks, then it is ok for them to be racist. Just trying to make sure I understand what you are saying.

 

there not racist to whites if whites were disproportionately affected by crime they would get affirmative action policies too

 

Could be because so many black people keep sayin' "Why Do So Many People Hate Black People?".

 

Perth, Australia

In 2006, the largest ancestry groups in the Perth metropolitan areas were: English (534,555 or 28.6%), Australian (479,174 or 25.6%), Irish (115,384 or 6.2%), Scottish (113,846 or 6.1%), Italian (84,331 or 4.5%) and Chinese (53,390 or 2.9%). There were 3,101 Aboriginals in the city (0.2%).[38]

Dont you love it when people come from nearly all white populations lecture others about racism?

Tell you what Makedde. When you start living in a more racially diverse environment than Vermont you can lecture those of us who actually live in ethnically diverse parts of the world.

 

Please don't forget their stellar treatment of the Aboriginals.

 

I agree. But the web does some to bring out not only the real nut bars, but the intensity is astonishing.

I live in the most multi-cultural city in North America. While the black population is very minimal, white is a almost minority here [the latest demographics I saw indicate " European" [we do not use skin color here as a distinguishing feature], being about 56%. Asians make up the largest non European sector, that includes East Indian, Pakistani, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese and, of course, Chinese which is actually a mixture of about seven sub categories. Many of the Chinese have been here for eight generations. Many of the East Inidians, or south Asians have been here almost as long.

I have seldom heard out right racist [derogatory] comments. We have never had a race riot...we riot over hockey games [in the videos of those riots almost all of the participants are white].

I would love to see some in depth sociological studies that indicate why that is, why is it various races get along here, and two hours down the road in Seattle there is almost palpable racial tension.

 

It's been 48 years since the Civil Rights act was passed. Blacks have racial preferences all over the place. Social safety nets. Many things to make up for the past.

It's on them at this point to be productive members of society. Many are. And yet, like these young men in Henderson, they behave as savages.

I have empathy respect for anyone who plays by the rules and tries to be a responsible adult. Criminals, druggies, et al - no excuses and no mercy. I don't play that PC crap.

Everyone falls into 3 categories in society. You are either an asset, neutral, or a detriment. Period.

 

Less than 1% where she lives I would say they accomplished their Mission.

 

I agree and taken a step further, wall street bankers are a detriment.

It occurs to me that in the United States, any conversation about racism defaults to blacks.

In this thread, an unnamed forum is exampled as an indication why "so many people hate blacks."

While we can leave the appropriateness of that aside for the moment, there is a lot more racism, or what I call faux racism here on this forum than that directed at blacks, and because it is virtually ignored, it is that much more insidious.

Most notable is any discussion of Israel will soon find a cleverly disguised [or not] anti-Semitic rant or several. Supplant the word "Jew" for "Israeli" and you get the idea.

many of the conversations about Islam soon degenerate the same way and even though Arabs are only one of several nationalities or races embracing Islam, they do get singled out in a disparaging way.

And then there are a few "foreign" members who favor sweeping generalizations about Americans, branding 360 million people with with a single red hot iron. While technically not racism, it has the same roots and identical intent. There again, supplant the word "American" for "black" or any race and you see what I mean.

Being an American in Canada I can attest to a degree of anti-American sentiment here, usually from ignorant low life who also usually embrace socialist ideology. While decrying American "foreign policy" they usually have no idea what that means and fail to understand that Canadians would be speaking Russian if it were not for the foreign policy and it's offshoots: NORAD and NATO.

I hear the same south of the line, where my Canadian license plates identify me as Canadian; sweeping derogatory generalizations which, interestingly, die off the further I travel from the 49th parallel.

 

They don't. Where did you get this idea ? ..From encountering a few people on an internet forum ? And you knew for sure they were white. ??

The generalizations you make are just as bad as those the "racists" you condemn make. You are no better than them,... and far more naive about race relations.

Bro

 

Because blacks aren't special. It seems everyone hates someone. Of course we have the n-word but *****, bog trotters, gooks, camel jockeys, and others get to hear their names. There is no k-word or b-word, or g-word and so forth.

I personally know people who hate jews, catholics, christians, muslims, and Republicans. It's sad, though.

Oh, and Makkede, white people don't hate black people so much. That's a racist stereotyping. You can say, for example, that President Obama hates Americans but you cannot say black people hate Americans. One statement can be accurate the other can't be accurate. Individuals hate, not groups.

 

Racism is just a way for people to avoid responsibility.

 

You keep your information in your arse? How odd.



Horticultural Societies


Horticultural societies produce food by gardening. It appears as if some humans had knowledge of plant cultivation as long as 20 to 30,000 years ago. However, it was used infrequently as people preferred the hunting and gathering lifestyle. The first societies to rely primarily on horticulture developed between 13,000 and 7,000 BC. This switch to horticulture occurred about the time large game animals declined. There are two major theories as to why these animals died out.

There was a change in the weather with the end of the ice age.
The growing human populations with better hunting tools over hunted the game.

Size and Density Horticulture had the effect of producing larger food supplies which produced larger populations. While hunting and gathering societies rarely had over 40 people, simple horticulture societies averaged 1,500 people with an average density of 13.8 per square mile while some advanced horticulture societies had over 5,000 people with an average population density of 42.7 per square mile.

Multicommunity societies develop. That is several societies are linked politically and economically.

Mobility - People in horticultural societies move less than hunting and gathering societies. A few advance horticultural societies may have had truly permanent settlements but most moved every few years. The gardens were usually made by clearing (slash and burn) a forested area and planting the crops. As the forest reclaimed the garden and the soil lost nutrients (no plow!), the people would move on to make new gardens.

Social Institutions

The Family is still the major institution. Some societies have very complex and intricate systems of marriage rules. Matriarchy (mother's side of family) is more common than in other societal types but not the most common. Marriage itself becomes an economic activity as 83% of advanced horticulture societies require purchase of bride. Female infanticide is common especially in warring societies.

Slavery is fairly common.

The Economy revolves about the cultivation of plants. Primarily responsibility for this activity differs from one society to another (39% female; 33% shared; 28% male). Since there is some food surplus, other full time occupations like priests, crafts, and soldiers arise.

Religion is often based on ancestor worship. Lenski believes this is due to living close to graves of the dead.

Politics is more complex than in hunting and gathering societies and legal codes develop. There is often a Headman or shaman.

Education is still not a formal institution.

Art and leisure consist of art, music, and dancing. Games of physical skill still high (90%); games of chance decline (34%); strategy games increase (10% simple; 57% advanced).

Warfare increases in frequency.

Stratification is minimal. Private ownership of land virtually absent.

Other - Compared to hunting and gathering societies, there are increases in head-hunting, cannibalism and human sacrifices. Murder and intergroup violence appears to be rather common - one estimate is that dying from murder was 50 greater than in U.S. today.

Today horticultural societies are found only in the middle parts of Africa where the soil is too poor for true agricultural societies to develop. The plow does not help as nutrients are not deep into the soil.

Beautifully stated. I tried to rep you on this, but I can't rep you again yet.

 

their not getting enough racial preferences that is why they commit more property crimes than the whites and why some whites hate them

 

If you can show where I said that, I will be happy to retract it.

 

They are mentally inferior and morally inferior as well.

 

Are you saying no matter how much blacks suck at anything they do, we should give them chance after chance?

 

i dont hate black people, but i dont like some things black people are very well known for doing like ruining a movie because they wont shut the hell up or outside the theater riding around the parking lot 10 deep in a small car throwing gang signs and harassing people for no reason.
