If you mean TALK down to black people, then believe it or not but not ALL white people do that. People are people regardless of race, religion, sex.....it's all about attitude. Positive attitude begets positive response.

I don't. I try to talk to people in their own language, so if I'm talking to someone whose speech is slangy, I might talk slangy too, but I don't assume that the person is stupid.. If you stop putting all whites into the same category, maybe more whites will stop putting all blacks into the same category. I know I'M ready.

There are good people and bad people in every race. Not all white people have a good heart.. Sometimes people of one race like to show superiority. But God made us all equal. The way we act separates us. . I taught my son not to judge others by their color but by their actions and their heart. When my son asked my at 6 or 7 years old why some people are black, or brown, or different I explained the real reasons why. Not only the cultural differences but the scientific differences. If a white person lifed in Africa he would die without shade, clothes, or creme to protect the skin. Dehydration would depleat his reserves through the skin. Blacks were built by God to survive the dry hot weather. Pure and simple.. . My sons are now men. They treat all races with respect. And my 23 yr old son really connects. He really gets it. He looks up to many black people. He loves being with them and he is proud to have black friends and black idols (sports).. . I would treat you the same way I would want to be treated, respectfully. If others can not do that they are not good people.

It gives meaning to their life. It makes them feel superior when they talk to you as if you are a child.
