Italy: Are Italians generally racist against black people?
Yes, Italians in Italy are very racist towards black people from any where around the world. They call black people stupid, monkeys, negretti, and negros.Also, they hate that there are people of african descent who speak English, Spanish or German. They make rude comments and assumptions about anyone who they assume is from Africa. Furthermore, they dont want to acknowledge any black americans (those whose ancestors were slaves) as being Americans or for having ancestry from two or three different continents (which most black americans have european and native american ancestry as well as african).From my experience, living in Italy, I've gathered that they hate all people of African descent. They love American culture, but exclude black Americans from the idea of America. They don't actually see us as being apart of American history…they stereotype the way we think, how we act, how we talk and everything else…and they get all their information from the media. In short, they view us as nationless Africans and they will say it out loud in Italian or in broken English.They also make up stuff too. I read a few articles written by italians about black americans. One article said that 90 something percent of black americans were muslims… which is obviously a lie that Americans would be able to catch. However, an average Italian reader, who does not have prior knowledge of our American history, will assume that that is the truth. Another article stated that there were not any mixed race children that came out of slavery or ever in America …Also, there was an article stating that black Americans were the most aggressive and vicious group. So, black americans deserved to be killed by officers and anyone else. Btw the black lives movement is the only thing besides poverty, crime, hip hop and southern accents/dialects that italians associate black americans with.I keep updating this…I want to give an honest answer, so that people will be aware of what Italians think of specific Americans and other nationalities. I had a genuine love for them from the time I was a little girl. I did not expect to be verbally attacked for my ancestry… and many people could care less if you understand the insults they hurl at you... In other words, if anything, they want you to understand. They just dont care for black people and I dont think they see us as being even human…
How are black people treated in China, Taiwan and Singapore?
Hi. I am an African-American male and I am interested in meeting Chinese, Taiwanese and Singaporean women. I wanted to know how are blacks treated in their respective countries? Is racism and/or prejudice something I should be concerned with? Please let me know. Thank you.
Why Do People Judge Us Based On Skin Color?
I am the type of social person who finds your value in the energy and attitude you project. I care less what your skin color is. I also agree that racism is alive and well in America. I am not afraid to say that I experience subliminal verbal attacks such as penny and Black references from 6.5 out of 10 Whites I encounter in public. The majority are uneducated. My Black friends find it hard to trust Whites due to underlining reasons like these and also harbor attitudes towards Whites expecting and projecting bullsh*t before it even occurs in order to protect their own feelings. My White friends don't feel safe around Blacks because of the images the news paints of the Black culture. How the news spreads fear that a Big Black Man In Black shoes and A Black Hood was lurking in the Black shadows on a Black night to attack the innocent little White girl. But the media defers from telling us the stories about the evolved Black culture and the history of the Black Man who built the TRAFFIC LIGHT (Garret Morgan) a Black Man who contributed to the LIGHT BULB (Lewis Latimer) and (Thomas Elkins) a Black Man who built the REFRIGERATOR. My strong belief is if you continue to feed the people lies the people will never be able to tell any truth. Its 2011 and Im surprised that there is still a wide gap in race relations in America. I once heard that the powerful elite use racial division tactics to keep under classed Blacks and Whites fighting so that we don't focus on the real issues of the powerful families control behind the scenes. For example rich Whites get along fine with rich Blacks as if they are equal and one race. What do you think African Americans can do to trust White people more and what can White people do more or less of to feel safe around African Americans? And What does the media gain to spread fear & lies on Black people.
Why is light skin such a prized feature in our society!?!?!!?!?
well i kinda agree with you.. im not really attracted to white skinned guys, but theres a Turkish guy in my school and im like WOW everytime i see him. but i usually am more attracted to the darker skinned, like indians, jordanians, egyptians etc lol the only people who think light skinned is so prized is the white racist idiots out there. theres nothing wrong with having either color. im puerto rican and im light skinned, i dont hate my color but i wish i was a bit more tan.. people back then put white powder on their face because it was "the whiter the better" rich white people had labor workers who are dark and white people didnt want to look tan cuz working in the sun made u tan and whites thought they shouldnt be doing that kind of work since theres minorities to do it.. so therefore they wouold look like one of the poor workers... of course no one thinks like that today..but theres still racism. racism will never end in my opinion. anyhow really pale white people look sick and all, i dont know how thats so beautiful. at the end of the day, i t doesnt matter if we have white, yellow, red, brown or black skin because thats not paying our bills nor is it keeping us from living a good life. p.s. about the nose job..yeah i saw that on doctor 90210 an Iranian woman had that nose bentish (i don't know what style of nose its called) but she was talking about how a lot of Iranians are getting nose jobs so they dont look so middle eastern... do they want to look more white?? i don't know,, but the woman who had the nose job she didnt get the full surgery cuz she wanted to keep some of her cultural appearance with her..
Why do white people complain so much?
Girl, you are soooooo right. White people complain about ANYTHING, and it's so pathetic. They are the biggest crybabies I know. They are always trying to use Black culture as a greedy, selfish, ignorant way to use it against Black people. They must don't realize that they have enslaved our people, and we still remember it. Some people act as if slavery never existed, and if they acknowledge it, they make it seem like it was over 100 years ago. White people HATE to be wrong, and as long as Black people do something "bad" in their eyes, they use it as a mockery and think it's a "slap in the face" to Blacks. But when a dumb white person makes a racist comment, they whine about it all day and make excuses for their stupid actions. Then they want to start calling Black people racists because we don't accept the bullshit they do. I think they're being serious because they are used to whining and getting their way all the time...pathetic. And I'm still counting...there have been 72 questions posed by white people TODAY that concern the Don Imus thing. Not all white people are like this and just as enraged as the black people, but the majority of the whites I've seen on here are stupid crybabies and make their race look bad...
Why is it that black girls are said to have more attitude than white girls?
based on your experience with both groups would you say this is true? how true is it? and what do you think is the cause of it? (education? race? hardships? etc?)
