22/M/Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Join Date: Nov 2007 | Usually both are 2 different kinds of racism. White people look at black people as inferior, obnoxious, poor and crime driven etc..where black people have more of a jealous, HATEFUL, envious racism and always on the defense.(with the execption of some extreme cases like KKK i dont think whites really HATE as strongly as blacks). I think black people are more racist,because envy/hate is very strong, but thats probly cause im white.But I do know that blacks think about it more and seperate themselves into groups.
my roomates black, i grew up in north philly, was one of about 20 white people in a highschool of about 1,000 blacks and I've learned that most black people HATE white people in general, but not every white person. Everyone is racist to an extent. I'm leaving out the fact that blacks were once slaves because this day in age its ridiculous to still refer to that, so many crazy things went on in the past.(i've been robbed at gunpoint by only black guys, that doesnt make me hate EVERY black person(just the ones with WOOLRICH coats and huge beards..hah j/k i used to dress like that.)
Oh and I as I mentioned I've been in pretty much an all black school, Well I moved in the middle of junior year to a mostly all white school and let me tell you...based on that blacks are WAY more racist comparing how the whites were treated in the black school and the blacks in the white school.again everyone is racist a little bit or you wouldnt be reading this, I guess im racist for writing this and my last girlfriend was black..oh well. | | |

Okay, I'm going to try and get my point across. With that, I think that the true nature of this post is racist. So I would like to diffuse the basis behind the argument.
First of all, not everyone is racist. Everyone may stereotype, but that does not make you racist. Racist is when you look at a group of people, determine a detrimental opinion, do not allow this opinion to change, and apply to every person of the selected race. Sometimes what people call "racist" has simply been what someone has been taught, they don't know any better, so it is actually ignorance. And there is a big difference there.
Second, no racism exists without hate. Especially that of whites to black. It is not simply a matter of whites seeing blacks as inferior, but more over as a threat. The threat being that whites who are racist don't like to change their value system to include people of color as humans, or at least not the level of human they believe they are. The racism that exists in the United States (between Black and white) is a direct product of our government allowing people of a certain race (Black) to be sold like livestock, so in essence this racism was indeed bred out of ignorance.
Thirdly, it is ignorant to hate based on something that has nothing to do with a person or group of people's actual personality.
Racism is nothing but ignorance or a form of hate descending from ignorance. It is for ignorant people. All ignorant people are inferior, at least in intelligence, to those who are knowledgeable. So to me this post, which is blatantly racist (after all, who actually cares who is more racist, and why does it matter?), is ignorant.
Who is more racist? Not blacks or whites, but the ignorant people. And they come in all colors, shapes, and denominations.
