My Response To Myths And Stereotypes Of African Americans Growing up as an African American female, I have been exposed to many forms of racism. Many times I have wondered how and why “white” people were so hateful towards “black people”, who were by no means inferior to them. In my generation, I cannot say that I have truly “suffered”. My parents, on the other hand, could tell me very hateful stories concerning racism. I could never understand the hate that they have towards us. I could understand if there had been some sort of conflict we hade encountered with them, but I had never heard of such a thing. I had always been taught that white people had forced Africans, or better yet that some Africans had sold other Africans as slaves. I still was baffled as to why their was so much hate or disgust. In the many accounts of history I have been exposed to, Caucasians seemed to look upon blacks as animals. Why would they refer to us as animals' Is their something that they see in the mirror that we don’t' Do we walk on all fours' Were not we also human and intelligent been, never, africans, people, racism, hate, am, white, understand, truly, time, say, inferior, hateful, black, animals, america, yet, way, views, upon, towards, tell, stereotypes, read, now, myths, made, long, just, intelligent, honest, history, heard, exposed
