Why do US southern people hate black people?

Answer 1

I believe blacks are hated so much because of our skin color.

No one cares about how we act, no one cares about how we dress, do one cares about what we do. People just hate us because of the simple fact that we're a different color and we're from a different culture.

Answer 2

They don't. In fact a high percentage of people in the southern states are black. I know that discrimination still exists but it is not limited to southerners and it has become less of a factor and will hopefully continue to decrease as one generation passes into the next.

If you are thinking of the discrimination of past decades, that was based on fear on the part of those doing the hating and their efforts to feel power over another group of people. That's a bit oversimplified, but you weren't asking for the history of discrimination in the south.

Answer 3

The people who hate black people as a whole generally base their hatred on a caricature or stereotype of a black person and not on most actual black people themselves. Much of the racism is passed down from generation to generation

People hate what they do not understand or find different, as fear and hate are the brothers of ignorance.

Americans in general don't hate black people; The American President is himself of African American descent. Besides President Obama, there have been many great black Americans, such as Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Colin Powell. This question is founded on ignorance and deserves to be rebuffed.

Answer:

This type of comment would be considered offensive to most people due to the stereotyping of a particular group of individuals based on a preconceived bias. Americans do not hate black people. In fact, a large percentage of Americans are African American. Most Americans want equality for all and stereotyping a group is unhelpful. Professional help may be a solution to very overcoming the prejudicial view you have against the people of tthis area. .

Answer 4

To say that Southerners or Mormons hate blacks is an unfair and prejudiced statement based on the opinions of a few (mostly historical) people in power.
White southerners have been assumed to 'hate' blacks because many of their ancestors treated blacks unfairly over 50 years ago. While there are likely some southerners (especially in the older generation) who have negative feelings toward blacks today, the majority do not. Most southerners have grown up alongside many black friends and neighbors and have no negative opinions about their race.
Mormons have been assumed to 'hate' blacks as well, because the Church did not allow blacks of African descent to be ordained to the clergy for a period between 1850 and 1978. However, most Mormons did not understand or support the ban at the time, and very few, if any, Mormons today have anything against blacks. Ironically, part of the reason the Mormons were kicked out of Missouri in the 1800's was because of their acceptance of black members and their anti-slavery position. The Church very strictly teaches that all people of all races and cultural backgrounds are equally loved by God. There are probably at least a million black Mormons today, many of whom serve in local and regional clergy positions. Some black Mormons are fairly well known and celebrated, such as Mia Love (a US Representative from Utah), Alex Boye (singer and performer), and Gladys Knight (popular singer).

Answer 5

It is inaccurate and unfair to generalize that all people in the US South hate black people. Racism exists in all parts of the country, not just the South. Historical factors, cultural beliefs, and systemic inequalities have contributed to racial tensions in the South, but it is important to recognize that not everyone in the region shares these views.

Answer 6

Many just feel different from them - as Israelis feel different from Palestinians, and Iraqis feel different from Iranians.
