Am I a bad person for thinking I can't trust most black people?
What I will never understand is the nasty looks black people shoot me every day. i live in a poor neighborhood around a lot of them and i plan to move later this year with my tax return. i don't have a lot but i fear for what i do have because people are robbed so often. i have seen so much hatred towards me because i am a white girl with blonde hair. i can not walk down the street without black men harassing me because they all seem to think all white women are whores. i'm sick of it. out of dozens of black people i have come to know in my life i am only close to a few. why? because they do not conform to the stereotypes of their race and earned my respect for that and i earned theirs by judging them on character and not skin color.
also I am gay and the word ****** seems to be thrown around a lot and while that does not bother me I find it hypocritical that they think that is fine but no one else can say the "N" word.
I've had this discussion with a black friend of mine who is my age (23) and he understood the hypocrisy. of that so I don't think I am crazy.
and i realize if i moved to a better neighborhood that i would more then likely meet more that i would get along with. and it isn't so much distrust for black people as it is wondering why certain things in the community i live in are glorified when they hurt the people doing them more then help them.

No, you just can't trust people, no matter their color. As far as people giving you dirty looks, they're probably hating on you, or they are still holding on to that racism and slavery stuff. I am so over that, can't we all just get along?

Maybe they think you are attractive? Or maybe they see the way u look at them? How do you know they are looking at u ~ if you are not looking at them..and for your info...black ppl are not the only one who have a certain look that makes not trust them #justsaying ........black ppl can call each other
A word similar to the N word because they understand its not meant as the same way as the original N word( different spellings & meaning) I feel there is an equal amount of blacks,whites, latinas, etc that LOOK like they can't be trusted.but u can't judge people by the way they look...yeah we all have our opinions of course..u are probably the only person of your race that live there so u feel awkward ..same as if a black person would living in a all white neighborhood...the world is crazy...we are all pink on the inside!!! Lol

you reside in an somewhat small city, not diverse and have been raised between bigots. regrettably you unexpectedly met a woman that wasn't the brightest bulb or the appropriate chum you're starting to be yet her coloration has not something to do along with her behaviour. i think of you're able to devise to commute extra and meet extra human beings earlier you settle on an entire team of people are going to all be the comparable. Your tries at making "black friends" won't paintings out by using fact you're actually not open sufficient and your historic past is a tragic one. possibly in basic terms try being your self without expectancies approximately behaviour in accordance with coloration of people. i'm sorry your loved ones is broken and that i understand you may learn extra powerful with an open heart and strategies.

I have never given anyone a nasty look for being white. Perhaps it's your attitude and not your race. Smh

Let me get this straight: you can't trust black people because they look at you funny? Hmm... Have you ever thought they look at you funy because they sense your hostility? See the circularity of this?

good point about the hypocrisy.
you are reacting to your environment and being honest about it. it is what it is.

If that helps you with your own self esteem issues, please feel free to think as you wish.
Frankly, it's not my job to judge you - it's God's job, provided you believe in Him..
