No, I don't. My sons interact with mexican and black children regularly (aside from the rock throwing girls) and they have a great time. They don't identify them as races, they simply call them friends.

What is sad is that you could have a black man working for you and they would never know that you believe all of these stereotypes. You probably have seen tons of successful, positive, and nonviolent black men but you only remember the few bad apples have depicted. |
Actually no, seeing a smart young man in my daily life doesn't bother me a bit, and I am glad to see the guy bustin his balls to make his dream happen. More power to him, but is he black? I don't care, is he white? ok, that's cool too.

To your surprise, it's not black people that buy rap music it is non-Blacks:
Although rap maintains a strong African American base, most rap albums are bought by white fans. According to a recent SoundScan survey, two-thirds of all rap music in 1997 was purchased by white consumers, and nearly 50% of all rap music is purchased by those under 18.
Just because a group of people speak different from you does not mean that they are violent or ignorant. |
I didn't say it did. But those artists are presenting themselves in a violent manner of speaking and attitude.

You sit on a very high horse. It must a very scary world if you go around thinking black men are going to rape you. Now that is laughable. |
I never said I go around the world thinking the black man will rape the white woman.
I said that there are parts local to my area that particular situation has occurred, regularly, and I choose to have no part in them.
There are places I go and chill with all kinds of people about things, and the idea of the four black men I have just been hanging with raping me would be proposterous.
But situational awareness says that it's not unreal to be in the situation I described earlier ... a white woman in a 'black' gas station being jostled, bumped, called names etc., on purpose, for no other reason than she's white, could be in a far graver danger if she opens her mouth and defends herself. According to xolovinoo that right there is grounds for the white woman and her f amily to retaliate cuz you ain't supposed to be talking shit.
