okay, i grew up dealing with racism….being mistreated because i was black……and i come to Y!A not too long ago, and discover its very anti black.
there is one section where there is non stop questions talking horribly about blacks. and lots of anti black answers, and these racists get thumbs ups. this has definitely reinforced my hatred and fear of white people.
how do i deal with this, eventually im going to have to be in the world? i doubt my view will ever change since, i still live in my racist town (im only a teenager).
my opinions of whties were already forming BEFORE Y!A due to racism….Y!A has only reinforced them. next time read the Q.
slutty pinapple….gives a racist answer and gets a thumbs up for it…that kinda crap is just disgusting.
the fact that there are alot of white people that dont want to let the world know they hate blacks, is another reason i fear them….i dont want them putting me in some kind of danger.
obviously you dont hang out in Cultures and Groups….just cause YOU dont see it doesnt mean its not there. spend a day in Other-Cultures and Groups and you will see all the anti black.
and if you dont call what all goes on in that section racism then you need to open a dictionary up.
i know how you feel. i grew up dealing with it too…and being jumped by white people. im an adult now, and my views have definitely been reinforced…..they are all the same to me, and i dont like any of them.
what you need to do, is do what i did…..lose the emotion…stop caring about what they do to you…just dont feel…..become mean and stand your ground.
and then after that, just put up with them, for when you have to…and keep them away from your personal life.
im not afraid to tell someone, i refuse to socialize with them because they are white.
you cant trust ANYONE in society…no one at all….its best to learn and accept this.
the best way to stop the emotions is, is to keep ignoring and directing your focus and attention somewhere else.
-edit-
i know…..many of them are closet racists…that is why i wont trust them myself either….dont rely on them if it isnt necessary, keep them at a distance….so this way they wont get you sent up a creek without a paddle.
and just ignore slutty pinapple’s answer…..and the person who thumbs her up….they are just one of many racists out there…..perfect example of what you need to stop letting get to you and get you so emotional.

By fearing and hating white people you are behaving just like the anti-black racists that appear on the Society and Culture board.
Why perpetuate the same bigotry, ignorance and hatred? I am sure that you are too intelligent and educated to do that.
The best way to tackle fear is to confront it head-on. Try and find some white people in your town and make friends. I am sure they are not all racists – they just need to open their minds a bit more.
Good luck
Edit – It doesn’t matter when or where you formed your beliefs, you have to snap out of it. Racism is an ugly trait, it doesn’t matter if you are black, white, brown or purple. Stop the cycle of hatred and move on.

I’m sorry, some people are racist assholes. But not everyone is. How do you think the we (i live in the U.S.) elected a black president? But in a way anti white feelings aren’t much better than other anti cultural feelings. I’m sure you have legit reasons to feel this way but I hope it doesn’t keep you from having relationships and being friends with people from other backgrounds. I’m again sorry that people who are jerks have effected you like this

Not all white people are racist for the same reason. Some white people don’t like black people because of violence I have a neighbor down stairs that says Nigger all the time, he fine though.
A lot of people are racist but they never say anything and let people know. I mean they believe in God too. But there are KKKs and they are different. Black people don’t even like black people sometimes cuss some of them are just evil and mean

The world is filled with assholes – they are assholes because of how they act, not because of the color of their skin. There are white jerks, black jerks, and brown jerks. Every race and culture has them. You just do what everyone else on the planet does – ignore them and move on; go be friends with kind white people, kind black people, and kind brown people.

Anti black are you joking? I have not seen much anti black racism on yahoo answers; however I have run into plenty of crazy militant black guys. I have also seen black guys on the Internet taking of exterminating white people etc. And conversely in the real world it is almost socially acceptable for blacks to be racist to whites.
If you are one of those militant black people, who are obsessed with the issue of race, and spends all their time posting race related questions on yahoo answers, then find something better to do with your time. If your story is real; then deal with it the way I deal with it, which is to not dwell on this kind of thing and judge an entire group of people because of the actions of a few, and instead take people as they come; remember there are good and bad people of all races.
edit
i just took a look on other cultures and groups and saw some questions such as :
African Americans make less $$$Money$$$? why?
and
How does a black woman fight crime ?
She has an abortion?
Ok I am sorry that my answer indicated that I was apprehensive about whether or not your story was real. It’s just that; as I said there are a lot of very racist black people around too, not just on yahoo answers, but in the real world too. And it is frustrating that black people are often able to get away with being very racist towards whites. I sympathise with you story, however Instead of judging all white people by the actions of a few and thinking of them as being all the same, remember that not all white people are like that, just as not all black people are like some of the not so nice black people which you find on yahoo answers.
How do you deal with it? Well instead of becoming like the people who have treated you badly and stooping to their level, rise above it. And take people as they come regardless of their color. Walking around feeling angry and bitter all the time because of some of the things which others have done to you will not make your life any better
