When it comes to races....what are your views?


1.Are all black people violent?
My opinion:No.
Even if you said are black people violent, you would catergorize ALL of them.
I myself am black and I am not violent.
I try and succeed in being non-violent.

2.Is one race better than the other?
My opinion. No.
Just because one race may have a higher wealth rate, a higher literacy rate or a higher college degree rate doesn't mean ANYTHING.
I could be the poorest person in my CITY, the girl who dropped out of school at 16 and not go to college...and still be smarter than someone who makes...$500,000.00 a year, can read above a college level and has a Doctoral degree.

3.What is your race and have you ever felt ashamed or unproud to be your race?
My opinion: I am black and at TIMES I have felt embhrassed.
Never ashamed and never unproud.
I try to keep in my mind that every race has its screw-ups and idiots and that they do not represent that race. They just happened to have a lighter/darker skin pigmentation.

Well,thanks for looking/replying.

1.Are all black people violent?
Not all of them, but statistics show that they are by far the most violent race in America. The are only 12% of the US population, yet constitute a majority of prison populations.

2.Is one race better than the other?
Yes, every race is superior and inferior to the next in one way or another. Each race has their strong points collectively. Equality only exists in opportunity.

3.What is your race and have you ever felt ashamed or unproud to be your race?
I'm White, and of course I've felt ashamed of my race, but I'm definitely proud of being White. Sometimes, I am amazed at the naivety and passiveness of White Americans.

No. Being violent depends on the person, not the race that they are.

2.Is one race better than the other?
No

3.What is your race and have you ever felt ashamed or unproud to be your race?

I'm white, but no, I've never felt ashamed or unproud, its just a skin couler. I've felt unproud of some things that some other white people used to do (like have slaves, not allow people from minoritys the same rights, ect.), but not my *race* in general, just some people in it.

1. No. You are going to have a hard time finding anyone who would say 'yes' to this, and this comes from someone who has been around some pretty racially extreme people.

2. By my standards, the White races are "better", but I know my standards are not the same as other peoples. It is impossible to find such common standards so that the whole world can find one race to be "better". "Better" also currently has 20 definitions, some which suit the White races my standards, and some which obviously do not.

3. I am a Hallstatt Nordic. I am very pro-White, most people and myself like to call me 'racist', but I am not by the dictionary definition. Naturally, I am very proud of my kinsmen and my race. Before I became so pro-White and racist, I was not so proud. I am being raised by sellouts, so naturally most of my early childhood they tried to make me ashamed of my race, but they never succeeded. Sometimes I feel angry at the White races, and I am ashamed at their current state, but I have never been unsupportive, or ashamed that I am White.
