Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

Hi There

I am wondering why there is a racism between White People and Black People ?

I am white and I don't have any problems with white or black people ..
I don't value the people with their color , I do value people with their heart .. if it's clean or black of the spiteful and stupidity ..

It's reality that most of the black people in the U.S are murders ?

Which is more ? the racism in the UK or the racism in the U.S.A ?

It's the same everywhere. Not just between black and white.

For the same reason why there is discrimination between any groups. Men/woman, Chinese/Japanese, Muslim/Jew and a million other combinations - intolerance.

Most people are that way. It just takes one in a thousand to give others a bad name.

I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking of more blacks then whites are convicted of murder or as a ratio of the population? It is true that a higher percentage of blacks are convicted of murder then whites, but not as whole numbers. See the following link for more detailed information. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm

The US is the third most populous nation on the planet - so we're going to have more in whole numbers. Because we are a nation with people from all over the world and have such large numbers of everyone (as an example there are more Vietnamese in the US then in China or India, which have larger populations) , we'll have some unique combinations not seen in many places.

Re: Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

It's ignorance. You fear what you don't or are unwilling to understand.

There's a different culture, lots of people are afraid of that culture because it's different, and they are close-minded and unwilling or unable to learn about the other people.

People need to relax, live and let live; as Yogs put it, it's intolerance of other people that contributes to the problem.

Re: Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

Its all about fear. Most people fear other peoples beliefs and ways of life because it is different from what they are used to. Take for example the idea of aliens, if we saw ufo's flying above our skies most people would freak out and assume its the end of the world. We dont know anything about these aliens, for all we know it could be the freaking telletubbies coming to sing and dance with us. (which should probably be feared but thats for a whole different reason). Its human nature to fear what you dont understand. Also all of this political correctness crap works the wrong way, a few years ago if you said a person was black it wouldnt have been a big deal, but now some people get offended by the term black and say its supposed to be "African American", So the whole idea of being politicaly correct has just turned people into being offended more easily than before. I have lived in the south all my life so I have seen a little more rascism than most people, and most of it has to do with someones family. Both black and white people, its their families that turn them to being racist.

People need to learn to let things go, you dont always have to take things so seriously. Im dating a black chick, and I love to make racist jokes to her, she gets a kick out of it. Why? Because she isnt so closed minded that she doesnt understand that its ok to laugh about things sometimes. So basicaly im trying to say I am racist against racist people. Damn racist bastards lets lynch em!

For what its worth from my own experiences, there are far more nice people out there than jerks. Since pre-k I have been surrounded by other ethnicites. I dont know of any black person threatening someone or fight anyone b/c of their color. Now I never witnessed any of it but was known a few white guys intentionally sparked shit based on race.

Re: Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

A lot of the racism between white and black people came from slavery. (I cant believe nobody mentioned this). Slavery is what caused the civil war, and caused the rebel flag which is so popular in the south. The rebel flag doesnt necessarily stand for racism, but it is heavily connected. Some white people have never gotten over the fact that they think black people should be white peoples slaves. Some black people have never gotten over the fact that white people enslaved black people hundreds of years ago. But if you recall, the history of America is very short. The country has been around for under 230 years. If you look back even so recently as the sixties and seventies, there was a lot of racial issues then. Segregation was a real thing that ws going on in the USA. Black people were not allowed to sit with white people on the bus, or use the same drinking fountains or go to the same schools, use the same bathrooms, or public buildings. That is all so recent. There are still people who feel it should be that way. The majority of the country has moved on but there are others who are still upset.

That is the major reason why there is a big racial issue between white and blacks in particular, but as was said before, there would still be racism none the less. Racism is what caused slavery, and caused all of the civil disputes between blacks and whites in the USA in the first place. So racism is basically a display of ignorance, and can be seen all over the world between all races, but that is the major fire starter for racism between blacks and whites.

Re: Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

First of all racism didnt cause slavery. Secondly, white people didnt enslave blacks, the slaves were bought and were already slaves in the native lands of Africa. White people didnt go over there and capture a bunch of people, they were bought from other African kings and people of that nature. Blacks were enslaving other blacks since about 460A.D. So as far as slavery being used as a reason for racism people who know the facts know that if they should be mad at anyone it should be the group of people who took over one tribe and enslaved them until they sold them, not white people who just bought them.

Re: Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

Impossible question to categorically answer. If it was possible to define why in a few absolute terms than everyone would/could strive to solve the question. This answer is different for each person you would ask. It's a problem of perceptions on an individual basis. It is no more solvable than trying to guess why certain people love certain cars or wouldn't ever own others.

Re: Why there is a racism between white People and Black People?

black people are more racist (as a whole) then whit people in the US. what if there was a white Chris Rock? White Enertainment Television? White History Month? Miss White Teen USA? Miss White USA? National association for the advancement of White People? National Scholarships offered ONLY to white People?

I was turned down for one scholarship in school just becaus i WAS NOT black......

I have always wondered if the tables were turned........

I heard Bill O'Reilly (Google Him) saying that since 1990, of African Immigrants make up 90% of the most succesful blacks in America. therefore making black people in america be the one thing that holds blacks back NOT racism.

If you Have side by side a white male and a black male, exact same school, exact same credentials, training, experience, everything the same. the black male will be picked over the white malefor many reasons.

Has anybody ever saw a television show or entire network be sued for not having any/enough white people?

P.S. What the hell is this about African Americans? Your AFRICAN or American not both. If your family has been for for generations your American. Im not Enlglish American.

sorry just ranting

If I moved to Africa would they have to call me American African? What do they call them in England?

damn.. there goes my reason for being racist.

just kidding. Im not racist. But I do believe that slaves were ALSO captured, before they were sold in America. Not only purchased from African kings. It does kind of nullify my point that racism caused slavery, but oh well, I guess I was wrong about that.

KUNTA KENTE!!!

Are you trying to say that Chris Rock is racist against white people?
