I'm black, I have never committed a crime (unless you count downloading and littering, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's done that), I'm pretty well off and I have never used a drug in my entire life, my grades are spot on and I'm a damn good person and I deserve as much respect as anyone here.

Voilà, these things don't have to do anything with skin colour or etnicity.. Yesh, in some countries you see alot more criminal activity by black people or other foreign people ON THE NEWS, but the news nowadays isn't that exact, they don't show every single thing and I'm sure a lot of even more terrible stuff by the locals gets stuffed away in a corner..

You are also only 16 years old. If you do manage to be successful, congratulations. There are always exceptions.

My older brothers, 19 and 25 are also in the same boat, along with my mother who has earned her Master's degree and is an amazing educator and my father who has made a brilliant career in the military. And I do plan to continue on my path and I hope to become a doctor one day.
Just for references, have you ever taken a Sociology class or read a textbook on the matter? There are many exceptions, as you've said. For example, did you know what the majority of people on welfare are actually single white women? (Source: Brym/Lie)

I really don't understand racism. I've seen quite a bit of it in the past few days. I mean, it's all evolution, really. I don't see such why its such an issue still. Humans evolved from ape-like creatures with lighter brown skin. When we migrated to other areas of the globe, we evolved traits for certain reasons. Those living in or around the Himalayas developed larger epicanthic folds on the eyes to reduce snow-blindness. Those near the equator developed darker skin to aid in protection against UV rays. Those in areas further from the equator developed lighter coloured skin and hair to aid in the absorption of Vitamin D from the sun. I mean, really, there's no real reason to consider anyone stupider or inferior because of their ethnicity. We're all the same species. Yup. We're not even different sub-species, all Homo sapiens sapiens. Unless you buy into the Homo sapiens neanderthalensis theory, but that's been widely discredited. It's kind of weird that Negroids get so much of the racism, when it's Caucasoids that are the furthest from the human baseline in appearance (dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes).

Well how many white people were stolen from their country and then enslaved and then left to build their ethnicity in a country that isn't fully cured of racism?

Time to feed the troll! Higher percentages of African Americans are impoverished versus white because only a few generations ago, they where enslaved. When they where freed, they literally had nothing. Absolutely nothing. Whites had 400 year head start, and once Africans where freed, there was still racism which prevented them from getting out of poverty for another 100 years. The reason they are in poverty is because they haven't had a real chance to get out of poverty. There opportunity has only just started, and yet, as proof that they are equal to us, many are still successful (like, I don't know, The President of the United States for example). In short, you are uninformed. (or a troll, which I still believe)

stupid debate is stupid......
_nderscore, what's your point in all of this? Do you have a solution to fix our social problems or are you here just to bash on some black people.
RandiKthxxx, if your mom is an amazing educator and your father has made a brilliant career in the military then my dad is the best welder in the nation! What I'm saying is exaggerating does not help in proving a point.
cooltiger413, I hate when people use that argument simply because many immigrants that just moved in to this nation are better off then people that lived here for many years. The secret to success is hard work, that's all there is to it.

Adjectives are fun to use. Sue me.
But the point wasn't that my parents rock, the point was they contribute to society in a positive manner and are just as capable as others outside of our race.

An argument often used by racists is that black people have higher crime rates and lower education rates across the globe.
But let's put this into perspective: The majority of black people live in places like Africa -- third world countries that have been made so by us, the first world. You think they'd have high crime rates and lower education rates?
Also, how is _nderscore not banned? Calling black people animals and using such language as he has been using surely calls for at least a warning?
Or is it protected under his petty little "free speech"? You know, there's a difference between free speech and defamation, and this guy's crossing the line. He's literally promoting genocide, and then I call him a racist and a bigot... AND I GET THE WARNING FOR IT?

Have you ever thought it was because of genocidal people like you that they have such high crime rates? The USA brought them over for slave labour, and since then, racism was insanely high. Nobody liked them just because of their colour, and they were considered inferior. Now, since racism has died down, you racists are changing your tune. Now you say its because of their lower intelligence and higher crime rates -- when it's been YOU PEOPLE who have pushed a lot of them into their living conditions though these generations. It's YOUR GENOCIDAL HATRED and YOUR BIGOTRY which is the issue here. How do you expect one to become a contributing member of society, when society treats them as less than human?

If they don't like it, they can leave. No one is forcing them to stay here.
