Lol I put it all on my profile already. "I don't worship Satan, control America, the media, Hollywood or the federal reserve, and I don't want to bomb anyone.". Can you guess my race and culture from that?

Black here. I would like people to know that there are countless whites who put down the black community in relation to black stereotypes, as if blacks are the ones reinforcing and strengthening those stereotypes. Whites make up 74% of the U.S population while blacks only make up 13%. What the vast majority focuses on plays the greatest factor in the creation and popularity of stereotypes. Creation: in reality, the white community has far more quirky trends than does the black community. The black community of course has the quirky trend of "ghetto-acting" (ebonics, rap music, pants sagging, bling, thuggish, etc.), to which they've been racially stereotyped for to the enth degree. On the other hand, the white community has countless quirky trends which haven't even developed into racial stereotypes: valspeak ("like oh my god! Its, like, so, like, stupid, like, really, like, stupid! like, yeah! Totallaaaaahhh! What ... Evuuurrr"), emo and things related such as cutting oneself up, rock music and appearance (lunatic screaming, face paint, piercings all over, dog collars, chains, dyed hair, mohawks, spikes, etc.), goth (all-black clothing while carrying oneself around like a demon), redneck country music and appearance (barefoot, overalls, shirtless, chewing on straw, straw hat, barnyard animals) w/ country drawl and speak (get that there hay out of muh' yard or om' mo' have me a fit, y'hear?; where I done' put muh' keys; howdeh'; partner; varmint; reckon; ain't; ya'll; I'm uh hunt'n I say; boy howdeh'; yeehow; she's a beaut, y'hear? ah' say.... ah' say.... ah' say she's a beaut, y'hear?; etc), redneck hillbilly names (Betty Lou, Betsy, Gus, Hank, Bernard, Zeke, etc.), travel trailers & trailer parks, hippies, metrosexual boy bands & pretty boys, hair jell, obsession over Poke'Mon, KKK thugs, pedophilia, etc. If a trend becomes popular among a lot of whites, it isn't connected to the entire white race by the white community. If a trend becomes popular among a lot of blacks, it is connected to the entire black race and looked down on by the white community (that's 74% of the population). Some would argue that this is because of the media and what white audiences are constantly previewed to; however, this is no excuse for white audiences as most blacks in the media aren't ghetto. As just a few examples, take all the characters on Family Matters, Fresh Prince, House of Payne, the Cosby Show, The Nutty Professor, and the majority of black sitcoms and movies. Ghetto-acting is mainly limited to the music industry's rap music. There's plenty of R&B that doesn't contain any such ghetto-acting whatsoever. A quirky trend simply cannot become popular amongst a lot of blacks, otherwise whites connect that trend to the entire black race and look down on it. On the other hand, whites can adopt all the common trends their little hearts desire without it negatively impacting the entire white race. Popularizing: ever notice how white stereotypes receive barely any attention while black stereotypes receive multitudes of attention? One of the strongest white stereotypes is nerdiness; however, If one sees a nerdy white person like Screech on Saved By The Bell, the subject of reinforcing racial stereotypes is unlikely to come up. When one sees a black person with his pants sagging, the subject of that no-good black person reinforcing negative racial stereotypes is likely to come up. We live in a society where the the white majority constantly emphasizes and calls attention to the reinforcing of black stereotypes, while not doing the same with regards to the reinforcing of white stereotypes.

All black people do not like watermelon, chicken wings, live in the projects,want to be rappers and the white side of me want black people to know all white men are not gay,we do not all eat people and yes most of us are punks and we are afraid of our children and deep down inside we do wish we were black

I want it, because I can have it

EASY 101 - that not all white people are racists intent on keeping the black man down. Whatever the P H U C K that means.

That black guys are not only interested in sex. Many of us are more interested in intellectual and sincere connections.
