Are black people nicer than white people?

[Style]

I don't mean to make this sound racist,

But, in my experience, Black people are usually nicer to me than white people. (I'm talking in terms of talking to people you don't know.)

Like today, I was walking around school, saying hi to people as they passed. When I say hi to a white girl, she'll say hi and go on her merry way. This was how it always was.

But when I would say hi to a black girl, they would stop, turn, and get into a nice conversation with me. It was really a very pleasant experience. One girl I said hi too once now always says hi to me when I pass her. Compare this to white girls, who barely acknowledge my existence in the first place and will not remember it later.

Now, I previously thought there would be no difference between Whites and Blacks in how nice they were, but I was wrong. Anectdotely speaking, Black people are much nicer!

Anyone else found this to be true?

[Phantasm]

Oh yes!

At leat from my experience...I can't figure out it should be that way though...

[Tenku]

You know...I'm not quite sure, and I'm black (also a girl). I guess it kinda depends.

Here, they are a bit...catty to say the least. Plus, I keep to myself so, I wouldn't know.

I haven't noticed much difference between blacks and whites as far as "niceness" goes. Blacks tend to be more touchy, though--many seem to think the world is always against them and that every single decision ever made by a Caucasian has been based on racism.

One thing I HAVE noticed is that Britons and Canadians are nicer than Americans by a WIDE margin....when I talk to people from there online, I'm usually treated a lot better than I am by fellow Yankees.

...Uh-oh. I'm going to NYC/Philly for Thanksgiving break (parade stuff...) do they take kindly to a southern band?

I'm not so sure about that. That's a popular media image to be sure, but in real life I've not really found that to be the case.

Besides, black people have a right to be upset about those things, given the history of what they've suffered and the inequities that still exist.

Maybe the white girl was the shy kind of person while the black girl was the social type of person. But I do think there are also social white girls and antisocial black girls in the world.

I'm not talking about one shy white girl or one sociable black girl... I'm talking about a general trend after talking to about 10 different people.

It's just something I've noticed today because I was talking to a large, random number of people I didn't previously know. And Black girls were much more sociable and receptive than the white girls I talked to, (or *tried* to talk to as the case may be.)

Black people from the States and Canada are really nice. It has been my experience that black people from Africa (especially women) are kind of harsher because of the culture there (you REALLY have to respect women) but from the States everybody is really friendly.

And Martianinvader I know and knew quite a few black people and none of them were "The Man is holding me down" kind of people. If you talk politics with them they might feel a certain way but none of the folks I knew EVER acted as if any and all of their problems in life were caused by white people. Methinks you've been listening a little too much to either conservative propaganda or reading the Boondocks and believing every single black person is like that. I admit that their opinions may change when I leave the room, but the "Man is out for me" attitudes generally portray blacks as prickly and confrontational to whites which hasn't been the case with the people I 've known. Two of the schools I went to when I was a kid had significant black populations and none of the kids acted like that.

It's probably a cultural thing. For the various unpleasant historical reasons that befell them, Blacks constitute a very distinct subculture within the United States, which is linguistically and customarily distinct from the dominant culture.

It could also be a variation of Southern custom spread by the black community.

I'm not an overtly friendly person myself. I all most never greet people I don't know well and find it very annoying when random people or loose acquaintances interrupt my life with and unsolicited uttering of, "hi,", "yo," or worst of all, "what's up?"

I'm also Pennsylvania Dutch on my father's side, and the Pennsylvania Dutch aren't known to be the most outgoingly friendly types. I recall from Conrad Richter's The Aristocrat the tale of the central character's mother, a well-to-do lady from the south coming to Pennsylvania with the same expectations of involved cordiality she was familiar with, but instead being taken aback by the relative 'unfriendliness' of the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers, to whom she had no reason to say, "hello."

I'm a shy, polite (sometimes flirty) girl; everyone's nice to me (or at least pretends to be). I rarely get along with women, never have. It doesn't matter what race they are, they're usually mean to me. And guys of one race aren't more friendly than another.

Here, they are a bit...catty to say the least.

Same here, with all women. Though, I find hispanic chicks to be ruder to me than others. Maybe it's just a coincidence. I don't know.

[zmanjz]

you know, it really depends on the particular person, not the skin color.


Personally, I've always found Anime Nerds as a group to be "good people" as it were.

My advocacy 2 partner last year was black, and she was very outgoing and happy to talk, however a different black female that I worked with at the DA's office never seemed to do anything but grumble and scowl at me.

This year, a white female DA that I've been working with is extremely outgoing (though a little odd).

SO yea, I think that it depends on the person and how they react to your visage Apparently, I'm cuddly and disarming to most people (Though I've won every court appearance I've made.)

Women being rude to other women? That's usually not the impression I get. Ofcourse, as man, I find all women to be mysterious and unfathomable, so...

But, I do kind of feel for you on one thing: How you don't get along with women. You see, I get along with my fellow men okay, but I have a hard time approaching guys to make new friends. But, I have no problems approaching girls to make new female friends. I've always been more comfortable with that.

Ofcourse, convincing a female to be "more than friends" is what I've found problematic, (and have only recently come to the conclusion that that is the wrong approach in the first place. Sadly, that's what's taught for "good, christain boys," and us good christain boys have to figure out for ourselves that it doesn't really work that way, Friends becoming lovers and all that.)

[Stuckey]

I find friendly people to be friendly and unfriendly people to be unfriendly. I haven't noticed any racial difference, though.

Seriously, it's true. Many women do NOT like other women. Do you have a sister or close girl friend? Ask her, there's a big possibility that she'll say the same thing. I have four sisters and a few friends who are also chicks, and almost all of them agree (I haven't asked some). We're not all sisters and whatnot like it may appear. I'm not saying that all women are cruel to other girls, it's just the majority is awfully mean. Especially the really girly girls.

Heh!! Oh, you need to be around your female friends and their girlfriends more often. You'll see.

That's easy for me but my girlfriend just wants to remain friends. I respect that, but I do want to at least french her.

As for the topic at hand. Kinda hard for me to say, really. We have like less than 10 black people in the municipality. Of the ones I know, they're just like everyone else, nice, down to earth, easy to talk to.

It's probably just me, but I REALLY don't consider two women beating the crap out of each other to be a turn-on.

It's just me, isn't it?
