It's reverse racism (a combination of hypocrisy and direct racism). It is one of the pillars of modern racism. It is a disease within and unbeknownst to the African American community. It is a lack of trust between two races. [If you guys would listen to me when I say that generalizing races is a big problem you would understand.] But why it exists only makes it harder to fix. Black people in general are not this way, just a majority of them have this reaction to white people they don't know, and for strong reasons. If I was born into this world black, only to find out that my relatives have been tortured, killed, and enslaved by the masses for the past four hundred years by Europeans, the presence of a white person is going to have me on my toes with my fists clinched (slight exageration). I don't know that he wants to shake my hand, or if he has a club behind his back. So you have black people unable to trust your everyday white man walking the streets, you have white people who dont understand why they are labeled like this, and you have color barriers keeping it all in tact. So who's to blame for all of this?
Upper-class give black people a reason to hate white people.
Black people express this hate to white people the only way they can (not towards the upper-class though).
White people, in return to this reaction, show they don't care or have any desire to underdstand black people because all they do is bitch about what the rich white man is doing to him.
So you have this vicious cycle which some rich white man on top has modeled together, and shelved in his office while he sits back, laughs, and counts his money. But beware, this man cares no more about lower-class white people than he does blacks.
One of my best friends is black and well researched on his history. I can tell him a racial joke any time of the day and he will show no ill feelings towards me because he understands who I am. If black people could understand white people, and if upper-class white people would understand and stop confusing black people (giving them a bad impression for all people who have white skin) then this world would be a much better place. I have a diagnosis for many things, and it's not that they can't be changed, but it takes more than just a street crowd to make it happen.
