I don't know how it is in other countries but black people here in Bulgaria are given many things that we are not. They are thought to be discriminated so that they may go to court and say they accuse me just because I am black and nobody needs such problems so they let them go and keep on with the robberies and stuff like that. Here they are just used to do so.They don't send their children to school, don't want to work.They rely on things stolen and funds from the government.

bigosei hi Black and white are all god's children. we are all human beings. There is nothing wrong with being black or white as far as I am concerned.We do all come from the same creator. So its only ignorance on the part of some people who say blacks are thieves or what have you.Bad people come in all colors and so do very good people.Do not worry about the color of your skin just be a good honest person and you will do just great.I know that goodness comes in many colors.

The one who said that blacks are thieves obviously need to get out of the house more, or crawl out of the rock he's hiding from. Man, I've met a lot of people from all over the world. I've met bad guys and good guys, they make no difference to me what color they are. They're all human to me and are what society has made them. It is not anyone's fault what they are, they have become what they are because circumstances in society has driven them as such. All this segregation either by color or creed or even political belief is part of a greater power of control no matter what it is, and has been around for ages.

Lots of people are discriminative against blacks but all I can say is that I feel for them and their misunderstanding. Like imagine if youre black and stuff and you couldnt help it. Even if you were raised in a white family you still would be considered as different and even mayber inferior There are a lot of racist people out there but hopefully one day things will change Things are getting better now anyway so its a good thing

Hi! I would say, that is racist, it is a discrimination. I think the have such a image on black because they have been having such a image since young. Such a case happen anywhere in the world where different race will try to talk bad about the other races just because they are brought up in a different culture and different background. I have racist and there are still people who like to attack or look down or taking advantage on the minority. Shame on such a people.

Hi bigosei, welcome to myLot. I am surprised that there are racist discussion like that in myLot. Black/white...whatever the colour, we are all human. Like Hatley said, good people comes from all backgrounds and so have bad people. The colour of the skin does not determine the person's character. The goodness as well as the badness, all comes from inside, not from where we could see. It is wrong to generalize, in my opinion. People who does that, are either ignorant, or plain stupid.

HI Bigosei, I am a witness of such racial discrimination. I have heard people talk badly about people with black color, regardless whether the person came from Africa, India or US. I actually could not believe it - trying to defend black people makes them think I am weird. But anyway. I see nothing wrong with the color. It's just the color. But all of us have eyes, ears, nose, heart, brain. We cannot judge a person through his color. There are whites and brown people who are thief and criminals too. So you just ignore that myLotter and let him think the way he want to think. I am sure people will disagree with him.

Hii bigosei33...:) It is okay, there is nothing wrong being black. Not because I am black too, but I think it is the gift for us. God has given the best for us, we are the same. We are human, we live in earth, we breath, we eat, we do the same things. What make us different is our heart, that is the matter. That's what God sees from us. Don't take his/ her words personally, it just will hurt you. Be happy my friend :)

Racial discrimination is really a big issue to humanity all over the world. Not only in a particular place or country. Some countries prefer to be black because for them it is beautiful, they use to expose their body under the sun to achieve a black color. while people from the other part of the world wants to be white and they take or undergo some medical procedure for a whiter skin which can give a harmful side effects to their health as well as it can develop more into skin problems or it can be fatal as well. A person's well being is not perceive by the physical perspective alone, but gains his/her reputation through his/her inside personality, achievements and dignity. WE are all human with different colors and status in life, but one thing for sure is that we are all beautiful and equal. We are God"s children and created on his own image!
