The BNP is racist, but that is what we are going to get until we stop looking at people as anything more than products of evolution.  When the press person goes and says that black people are less intelligent because of natural selection not being as rigorous in Africa as it is in the UK, the only real way to argue against him is to point out that all people are created in the image of God and that natural selection has not created superior races.  We are all in this as equals and our social institutions can make us all successful no matter what race we are.

>>>Why is it when asking a question about Blacks, it is thought to be RACIST? \n\nBecause it almost inevitably is. Racism is simply an assumption that characteristics are caused by or correlated to race. Asking “Why do black people do X” IS inherently racist. It can’t be otherwise. There are certainly questions about blacks that aren’t; racist, but they are rare around here.\n\n>>>>>Is this question racist in nature?\n\n\nNo, because it doesn’t assume any characteristics are linked to race. For example you haven’t assumed that Black people will all answer the same way. Had you made such an assumption then it would be racist.

Most likely because larger numbers of black people don't live there compared to other races...

Because of the "one drop rule" that has been ingrained in black people's history in America.  It says that if you have one drop of black blood, you are black.  Also, maybe they just identify more with the black side of them rather than the other side.  It's their prerogative.

He is Black! Why are some people under the impression that light skinned Black people have to be mixed?

Two reasons:  \n1.  Blacks are generally racist against anyone that isn't black\n2.  Blacks are particularly jealous of Asians since for the most part they are successful in America despite being a non-white minority.  Blacks wonder why they can't achieve this success.

The thing is that black people started the hip hop/urban culture you are talking about, so that's why people say they act black.  The term I hear a lot is "wigger", that term has been around for years and years.  I know it sounds offensive to some, I am just stating the term and I don't mean anything derogatory by it.

It's to make Blacks feel better about themselves.

maybe there is not as much black on black love, because people aren't as racist as you and believe in relationships with other races, religions, and social status.  We are one world, and love is love. why do you care about the colour of someones skin?

Since it is believed that people are originally from Africa, dark colored skin would have been the norm.  However, as people migrated north they weren't getting as much sun because they had to cover up to keep warm.  However, black people who get very little sun develope vitamin D deficiency because your body requires sunlight to make the last step of the synthesis go.  So, their skin needed to let more light in and it was beneficial to them to evolve lighter colored skin.  \nHave you noticed (part of it is interbreeding with white people, of course) that American blacks, who have been in the US about 200 years, are not nearly as dark black as native Africans anymore?

Some blacks ARE African-Americans. They actually came here from Africa. \n\nI'm half Black. I prefer Black. Other Blacks who were born here think of being called Black as a negative thing because of the tone some people have in their voice when they say "Black people." I still know plenty of people who feel like they need to whisper it when they say it. \n\nIt's a matter of preference. Say Black. If someone gets offended, tell them why you choose Black. If they are still offended, and you don't mean any harm by it, then whose problem is it, really?

Because they are ignorant, small minded, and fear what they don't know. Instead of taking to the to get to know an individual who happen to be black they rather believe stereotypes about all black people. Hate breeds hate, and violence breeds violence, often time racist people were raised by a racist family.
