Do Most African Americans Believe that White People are Superior? (1792 hits)

You know, I keep asking myself the question, why are we as a people still having many of the same problems that we faced prior to Civil Rights? Why is it that we are still debating the same issues? Why are we still fighting to be heard? Why do we feel that White people have something that we don't?

It seems to me that there is a generational habit of non-verbal beliefs that are literally destroying our race of people here in America. I feel that while integration helped in making some progress of moving towards equality, it also did harm to the mindset of our people.

You see as long as we want or desire what whites have, instead of desiring equality and the freedom to be successful and to take advantage of the free enterprise system, all we are doing is teaching our children that white is better.

In Atlanta there are many African Americans living in 300k & up beautiful homes in predominately black communities. However, what I witness are many of them not putting the money back in their communities. Instead, they shop in Buckhead, dine in Buckhead (Considered the white "ultra rich" side of Atl), prefer that their children go to schools in more white communities and meanwhile, the neighborhoods wth the beatuiful homes they live in are dying, because the money is not being spent there.

I believe we speak with our actions louder than with words and what I'm seeing is that many African Americans are buying into the "White is Better" mindset.

This is an interesting viewpoint, but what should one do if the better schools are in the white neighborhoods?

I believe that we can teach our children that they can BE, DO and HAVE whatever they choose. Set positive examples of those choices and the Leaders (the children) will follow the Leaders (the adults).

What we have to do is first be willing to be proactive! Demand equality in our community. Create coalitions and community groups to tackle and find solutions to what the community wants. In addition, I not opposed to bringing in more diversity in our own communities. This will help our own people to feel that we have something to offer other cultures. As for schools, it's a problem nation-wide and it has a lot to do with the values, morales and upbringing of the parents. If we aren't proactive in catching declining schools, we are at fault. We must refuse to accept anything less than what other community schools are getting. Now, with that said, family does come first and if you have no choice - you must do what you have to do.

I just hate the fact that the stereotypes of old are now becoming so very true and it's almost like we as a people spoke it into existence.

No Race is superior to the other. I see your point. White people don't have anything we can't get and we don't have anything they can't get. It's time to put aside our hatred and move on. instead of squirming together in little communities we need to work on making America one BIG community.
