I am black, but I wish I were white. Sad...

  1. I totally understand man. It's not sad, it's normal. I've been wanting to be white for sometime now (I'm 17). I don't like being Hispanic. Everytime I see whites, I feel envy because of their friendly appearance. If you see a group of Hispanics or Blacks, other ideas would probably come to mind. It's the bad reputation that the Hispanics have. I just want to be optimistic in life but can't because of this color. I swear, if I were white, I would be happiest man on earth. Some might tell me, "Hey man, be proud of your race, it's not bad", but the thing is, I'm just Not proud. I see what's around me, and I see what I Want.

  2. I don't understand how you equate happiness with the colour of your skin. Just makes no sense to me. And, are you sure that all white people are happy and cool?

  3. I'm a light skinned Hispanic and deep inside me I wish I was even lighter and with light eyes. Rationally I know this sounds closer to nonsense, but it seems that I have this really deep inferiority complex that I cannot get over when it comes to white people. I think we are all the same and I ry to live by this, but it seems that I'm not successful since my feelings still see white people as superior, even when I come across those who are jerks. I'm well educated, have a nice professional job, I'm very responsible and honest, have a stable and healthy family history, and yet, I still feel inferior to white people (no matter if they are educated or not, if they are nice or not). I would bet my money that many others have this complex, but find it so difficult to bring it up because most everyone automatically says something along tthe lines of "don't be racist, don't be stupid, get over it, we are all the same." I agree with this, yet I don't know how to get over it. If anyone wants to chat about this, my e-mail is elevationeffect@aol.com

  4. In Germany, there are many sonnen-tanning salons. All the whites mainly girls wants to be darker. You see all these fake tans on white folks. I don't know why people cannot accept themselves.

  5. Because white is superior than other types.
    Whatever you say, that's the truth I know.
    If I could be a fair looking white, I would rather die 20 years earlier.
    There isn't a reason, there is a fact.
    Whites are the true humans.

  7. I'm dark skinned. Skin color can associate with a vast amount of things. Think about the behaviors and history associated with blacks, and now think about the whites. There IS a difference there. There are also different facial features, thus the perception of whites being the most beautiful. Understand that I know people who are reading this are thinking: "Wow, dude you are the most pathetic guy, I almost feel sorry for you". I really wish I didn't feel this sad but the sadness IS there. I always seem to feel inferior. I know that the media has not changed me, nor my friends, nor my family, nor anyone else. The idea of inferiority has always been there. I want to be different, or in other words, white. I simply just want to be happy.

  10. As a White teenager(17), every race except your own despises you because of what your people did in the past. I can only think most wish to be white because of what they see in the media. It's not all that cracked up... I personally want to be Asian, however, this isn't because of the whole Japan/anime craze. I just like how Asians look.

  12. im black and i hate it my nose is my lips are big. Now i know that not all black people have big noses and lips and most of the black people i know don't. But what im saying is im pretty sure if i were white my nose wouldnt be so wide it might be long like ray romano's but not wide like an aboriginal. I actually like my skin color i just dont like the facial features and hair type.

  13. Some of you guys really are pathetic. Life is all about learning, growing and accepting reality. If you can't handle that, you're a lost cause. To you latinos and blacks, why not get off of your butts and try to improve your communities?

  14. hmm i want to be white as well..but not because i hate the way i look.its just seems natural to me.i guess i am what you would call and oreo.black on the outside and white on the inside.i've always had a preference to dating white/hispanic/mixed guys...and i am mixed myself.also i was not raised in 'ghetto or black cultured-like' home/family.so this also made it hard for me to fit in with just blacks/hispanics/whitesduring my earlier years(later i deemed that fitting in isnt necessary and being myself was all i needed for my happiness).and yea i love my big lips but i wasnt blessed with the notorious ass most female blacks have lol.that is one thing i wish i had :P
    sn-im mixed with white black spanish and a tad bit of french and irish.its alot ik lls
