It is never okay for anyone to hate another simply because of race, and generalizations of perception regarding race, creed or culture constitute a majority of what is wrong with our society today. Hugs, my friend.
-
I dont think its ok for anyone to hate anyone just because of the color of their skin, hell if your going to hate someone at least have a good reason.
-
Anyone can hate anyone for any reason, but if it is based on colour alone then that is racism. I think everybody is entitled to choose who they do or don't like without having a racist label plastered over them.
-
It's not okay. Are you angry about something in particular?
-
It's not OK at all. Perhaps your own personal experiences have clouded your overall judgement. I hope not though
-
Racism against whites is tolerated far too much. I sympathise with your anger.
-
Racism is wrong no matter what.
-
I do not remember when racism against anyone became "ok" other than with racists.

Because stupidly enough, because my great, great, grandfather, could've owned their great, great grandfather that makes (most, but not all) people feel like we (white people) owe them (black people) something! Which to me is just stupid for different reasons: For one, why should I have to pay for what my great, great grandfather may have done? He's not me. He was dead before I was even conceived and since when do we charge people with what their relatives have done? Secondly, we bought slaves from black people in Africa, so whites aren't the only people responsible for slavery (which is where I think all this animosity comes from). Also although it was very uncommon, there were black slave owners in America. Yes, some black people owned other black people. While slavery did have to do with race, slavery wasn't just about race it was about money. Finally, blacks weren't the only slaves, they we're just more common. There were white and Indian slaves right here in America.

It is not ok and more harmful to the African American community than to the Caucasian community. Yet we can admit to what our fore fathers did. I'm from the south, while I don't know my families involvement I do know that slaves were treated badly. That after slavery every thing was done to disable African Americans and that hate was taught from generation to generation.
