I was thinking of putting up a question titled "why do black people think Jesus was black?" , when it suddenly hit me . I realized that although my question was an innocent one , i felt myself starting to brace for the soon to come torrent of angry and hate filled responses . I realized that if i asked a Japanese man something about a custom they have, or why they do or think about things in certain ways , he would just respond to the question to the best of his knowledge and that would be the end. But if i say "black people ...." , i am sure to be barraged with insults . Why is having a debate with black people about cultural and other race related issues off limits , unless i am prepared to get insulted ?
Example. If i ask a Japanese person why Japanese person bows as a greeting and what it means. he will just answer and not give me anything about " YOURE A RACIST ! NOT ALL JAPANESE PEOPLE ARE THE SAME !!!" He would know that its just a question and answer
The reason "black" wasnt capitalized is because
"black" isnt a nation as where "Japan" is . Secondly , if i did, then someone would say "HEY ! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO "CAPITALIZE" OFF MY PEOPLE!" j/p .

That is a generalization that all black people act, make decisions and have the same mindset as one another and its ludacris.

it's not always like that. coming from a black person, we have always been commented about our race and just want to make sur ethat you are not trying to imply a racial statement. even if you think that segregation has ended between 'blacks' and 'whites', it hasn't there are still black jokes and racist comments being told to this day. i hate them. i mean, not to vent, but what is so different about us. the color of our skin is just a color. so, when you ask why we take that stuff seriously and why they are off limits, it's because we don't want our independence intaginized by someone that supposably feels like it's ok to take it.

You don't know what all Black people would say, you don't know what all Japanese people would say, you don't know all the Black and Japanese people in the world, so your statement is not true. Everybody is different, I'm black and I would answer question with no hard feelings. See, already you're wrong.

PS. I noticed that you capitalized "Japanese" and not Black. Is this your subconscious inner racist. Lol, just kidding.

Myself, an Asian and sometimes considered "Black" by my peers, I find it can't be helped. Well, for one who has been dealing with this sort of issue from the beginning. Just my paranoia.

Because "black people" are not a cultural group. They are of American nationality and culture. You cant just group everybody under one umbrella like that. Just like you can't say why do "white people" do this...there are all different kinds of "white people". Think of how different people are in the US in the North, South, East and West. Imagine you are someone who is a foreigner and sees a KKK member burning a cross. Then you go to some liberal white hippie in California and say "why are you white people always hating black people". It makes no sense.

Its just a matter of your language making no sense. The question "Why do some people think Jesus was black?" is not stereotypical and illustrates you want to know the history of this information...even "Why do some black people think Jesus was black?" is acceptable.

You have to understand that "black people" are often grouped under one umbrella like that in a very hateful way so you will often hit a nerve right off the bat and your motives will be questioned. Dialog is important but please learn to overuse the word SOME.

**See you said it yourself Japan is a nation with a different culture. Black is not a culture. There are black oriented sub-cultures but not every black person in the US is into it...its more of a genre like "Hippie", "Conservative", "Redneck". There are Rastafarians, afro-centrics, hip-hoppers, urbanites, intellectuals, social activists, southern baptist evangelists...and a lot more that are just regular ole people...but there is no defined "black" culture...they are Americans just like us.
