I just don't understand it. how is it that blacks can openly confess a dislike for the caucasian race in movies and television and white people must be ever so merciful toward the african american population? Why can't we all get along? does it really matter that much how dark or light the color of your skin or how foriegn your culture may be. Why after 400 years of slavery, blacks show a form of hate not only to other races,but to each other?Have we all fallen for the Willy Lynch Letters? WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SUM OF EQUALITY?

The language constructs used in this thread say more about the subject than what people are trying to say. Aren't the "blacks" also people, like the white people are? Perhaps the black people feel angry that they are not treated as people in the same way. Black is an adjective that describes an aspect of something. It is a describing word. It is not a noun.

"blacks" vs white people. Aren't the "blacks" people too? The language constructs used in this thread says more that what people are trying to say.

I felt the same way too. Sometimes, they express their hate and dislike on white community. It seems it is ok to express their dislikes, and they can freely to say whatever they want without being criticized to be hatred or discriminated. On the other hand, if a white person say the same thing, they will be publicly accused of white discriminator.

It goes either way it is blacks against whites,whites against blacks,and Mexicans against blacks, and blacks against mexicans,and so on.It seems like no one can just equally get along. I wish everyone could.

People are always going to hate no matter what we say or do. I am a bi-racial proud young lady. Understand that before i am anything i am human. I have been hated by caucasians because i am part black. I have been hated by African Americans for having white in me. I still love everyone because that he how i was raised. My mother always said, treat people how you want to be treated.There is more rewards for loving people than to hate. I would be ashamed to hate someone because of their race. People need to educated themselves more and pray for understanding. If African Americans could reverse discrimination is it right or wrong? Was it right or wrong when it was done to the African American Race? I'm not saying a wrong will make it right. I just wish people would let go of negative things and live life to the fullest.

I understand what you are saying and it is unfair. I think many white people in authority are fearful of them. When that happened and why, I don't know.

It's all in the culture and the history of blacks. We cannot and will never understand why they are like that. For we are not like them and not in their shoes, even them have the difficulty to understand themselves, they always stress out that they are discriminated and whites are racists or something just they don't know what's the root of this though, if they just get the education they need and be educated I guess they will be respected and excel and not discriminated by the whites
