Why does the world hate black people so much?

When you take a look at black people and people who are darker, they’re often treated worse than the whiter and lighter people. It’s strange as this has been adopted by so many cultures. But as a black person myself, I wonder what difference it makes. Why do people care so much about your skin colour? and will it ever change?

Knowing human nature, the answer is probably no. This is why I’m moving to Birmingham. I want to live around people who are darker-skinned. Not because I don’t like white people, I just hung out with white people today, and the girl I have a crush on is white. It’s because I’m sick of the racism and I’m genuinely a bit afraid of white people. I don’t know what they’ll do.

*I said I’d never date a British white woman again… but she’s half Italian so it doesn’t count.

Even as a light-skinned black person I get shit from dark-skinned people as they have an inferiority complex. People apparently favour light-skinned people, but personally, I haven’t seen much evidence backing that up in my real life. But if you look at the themes of colourism and racism it makes sense.

Why is it always the case that black people are on the bottom and white people are on top? Why don’t they like us, did we do something? Or is it another way for people to feel better than others through status?

Status

There is a belief in many cultures that white is right and pure and black is bad and evil. So things that are pure and coloured in white like luxury brands for example. Humans want to be seen as superior to others so they naturally gravitate to things that can enhance their image. So they prefer white things.

If things that are white are seen as pure then people are going to hold white people to a higher status. The people who aren’t white are looked at as lesser than and held back. If you’re black you have no right to see yourself as more than a servant to white people.

For example, in some countries like the Philippines, it's harder to get a high-status job if you’re darker as they’re seen as not worthy.
