Does anybody hate their own race?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not too fond of human beings at all.

I spent the first 11-12 years of my life being picked on by black kids because I wasn't "black" enough. So f**k 'em .

By that, I don't mean I hate all black people. I just hate stereotypical blacks, just as much as I hate any stereotypical person. Which is most people in my eyes!

Exactly how i feel.

no...it has nothing to do with race. People of all races can misunderstand you or mistreat you.

It has maybe something to do with culture (how tolerant it is when it comes to differences etc, how educated/informed your community is on AS..)

I hate everyone equally.

I can't stand the human race because most humans don't have a brain. It especially shows in their driving skills or lack there of. Just do the speed limit! What's so difficult about that?

Lol, I love that movie up until after the part where Pyle kills himself.

same here, never really understood how/why people are so obsessed with it all. personally i think it must be some form of mass self hate.

I hate my species not a race, when I look at people I don't really split them into "Races" like black or white, they're just people to be honest, and I look through all of history and see the good and bad and it makes me wish an alien craft would land infront of me house and take me off to the wonders of the universe, our species has done tremendously amazing evil, but it has on occasion also yeilded good figures in history, like Martin Luther King or Ghandi, I dont look at them and think of their religions either, to be honest I think that religion as a whole should not effect anyone's lives, they need to grow up and stop beleiving in invisible people, and if religious guys decide to retaliate, i've got a huge bundle of quotes and arguements by the likes of Dawkins, Hume and of course Bertrand Russell, so to be honest, if our race ever begins to spread in the universe, I hope some technologically supreme race reduces us to the ash and dust from which we were spawned.

I grew up in the south during the time shortly after the schools were desegregated and alot of white parents were concerned about sending their kids to school with black students.

I went to mostly all white private schools and I didn't feel protected. The one year I went to a mixed school I had no trouble with the black students, it was just like in private schools, all white kids who tormented me. They may have protected me from the black students, but they didn't protect me from the whites.

there a fact says you can't change your external aspect but ..YOU CAN DECIDE WHO YOU WANT TO BE



PEOPLE LIKE MUHAMMAD ALI , MALCOLM X AND MARTIN LUTHERKING
made a great history



i think no one ca be proud of belonging to a specific race. or to be proud of omething he hasn't achieve it
... but the fact anyone should

be proud only by what he made in his life



by the way ... that's not because of autism .. it is a reaction with the envirements

i have the opposite feeling,
i love my race and am very
proud of it...i don't know if
it's a cultural thing, but from
a very young age, if we're not
taught anything else but to be
proud of being chinese.
though i live in a, country where
we're the minority, it's still a big
deal that people i mingle with know
what's my ethnicity...

im white so i wont try to put myself into perspective, but how is that possible?
wait, r u talkin stereotypes? like the "gangstas" and stuff?

I am black and don't hate my race. If I did that, wouldn't I hate myself? If someone of another race wants to hate me because for the way I was born, so be it. I don't see why everyone should have to get along anyhow.

I am caucasion with ethnicity. I think people in my own ethnicity are friendlier to me.

White self-flagellation drives me nuts. I don't take any particular pride in the fact that I was born with a certain skin color, or that my family came from this, that or the other country how many generations ago. However, nor do I think that what certain people did centuries or decades in the past reflects on my character, mindset or behaviors. I try to be nice to everyone regardless of these arbitrary qualities, and that's all someone should expect, not that I take on the guilt for everyone acting according to the mindset of their period for centuries. It's rather pointless.

At one point, after some big hullabaloo at my school about race, we had this schoolwide meeting about racism - which consisted of educated members of the faculty, all but one of whom were white, getting up and talking, one by one, about how bad white people are. Apparently, we're so evil, we don't even know how evil we are! At the end of it, I was shaking with rage. No, not because I'm some white supremacist or even white pride advocate. I was offended because they, these "tolerant," "open-minded," "politically correct" people claimed to know who I was, what I was like, what my life story was in terms of how "privileged" I had been, and who I valued as an equal human being and for what reasons, all based on the color of my skin. Racism is racism, no matter what skin color you're talking about, and just because I don't consider "white" to be my foremost identifier doesn't mean I have to despise myself for it either.

So as an answer to the question, no, I don't hate or feel shame for my race or any ethnic group I might belong to. People of said groups might have done bad things, but have done good and valuable things as well. And I am me, and I can choose to do good things rather than bad things independent of my skin color or ancestry.

About all the general misanthropy in this thread - I like humanity as a concept and overall; I often don't like society, or at least its execution; and I generally find myself liking people as individuals once I get to know them. I don't know what that makes me. However, I have no illusions about nature being wonderful and caring and perfect - I know full well that if I hadn't been a human, amongst other humans, I would be dead. Besides, I like having a mind that can conceive of things beyond instincts and continued survival. I certainly think aspects of humanity are bad, but we have so much capacity for good, and just the capacity for the recognition that some things are evil (allowing us to refrain from doing them even if we want to), that I couldn't possibly condemn the entire species.
