Why is it that when someone is biracial

Here is a bona fide reason. In the 70's I dated a black chick (I'm white). Every time I showed up at her house, I was greeted with racist anti-white comments. She was also verbally abused for dating a 'cracker.' Eventually they beat the snot outta me. Knowing a person's race and the societal implications can prevent you from a bad beating and possibly death. Here is another example. True story. A successful female Chicago lawyer who defends pond scum types was standing in front of an open elevator filled with Latino gang members who were there7ec visiting their lawyer. She did not address her internal fear mechanism and rather chose to substitute her ultra-liberal everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt attitude. By the time she hit the lobby she was a bloody mess and died later. If you are standing on the ledge of a thirty story building your fear tells you to back off. Similarly we all have a built in fear mechanism for all situations that might have adverse consequences, including the societal problems associated with mixing races. Is that right? Of course not. Is that racism or simply a primitive instinct that informs us that all is not well. No one knows for sure. We all want people to get together and co-mingle in peace but unless you live in a cave you know the opposite is frequently true. Fear saves. Recognizing differences saves. Avoidance saves. You cannot force people to love one another.
Here is a comment from her father Quincy Jones about racism at Harvard:
QUINCY JONES' actress daughter RASHIDA has suffered racism throughout her life, because she is mixed-race. The 32-year-old has a black father and a white Jewish mother - actress Peggy Lipton. And Jones claims her looks have alienated her from black and white social groups - particularly at Harvard University, where she was turned away from an all-black sorority. She says, "I definitely learned my lesson. I'm back to that place were I'm like, 'You know what? I'm black, I'm white, I'm Jewish, I'm Irish, I'm Portuguese, I'm Welsh, what the beep ever.' To me it's so inconsequential. "People still say things to me like, 'Oh my god, you're black? I would've never guessed that.' And I just think, I can't help your ignorance. There are bi-racial people who look like me or who look like Alicia Keys or who look like Halle Berry. I'm so proud to be so many things."
Race shouldn't matter but I can personally attest that there are places on this planet where if they don't like your race, religion, ethnicity, country of origin, etc. you wil2000l not get out alive. This is why we address a person's race on IMDB, because it can matter in the wrong situation.
As an apologist turned authority I don't defend my comments because I am always right. -

That is the best written, most well reasoned piece I have ever read on IMDB, and possibly the internet.
Please tell me that was sarcasm.
That person totally got off the subject on their own personal tangent. Ridiculous.

- I'm sure people in your family wondered why you haven't found "a nice white girl", calling the black girl the N-word behind you guys back

That's because you're a racist b!tch. His family probably accepted and liked her like many liberal white people do. Sometimes minorities can't get our heads out of our asses and hate on innocent white people for no reason. Don't try to make up sh!t to defend the thugs who beat that guy.
We ride together, but I feel so alone.

Here's my take on this often brought up issue. If I'm walking down a dark alley at night and I see a black guy dressed like this (

) then I'm going to start walking the other way. If I'm walking down a dark alley at night and I see a black guy dressed like this (

) then I won't.
Same goes for a crowded elevator. Latinos dressed out in gang colors and tattoos and carrying themselves like thugs = probably dangerous. Latinos dressed out in more typical clothing and carrying themselves like regular dudes = probably not dangerous. -

That's an interesting assumption you're making and I couldn't disagree more. I'm curious what you're basing it on. I'm also curious why you assumed that I'm white.
Edit - on review, I'm not sure I understand your comment right. Are you suggesting that I would be less likely to feel safe around someone who matched my ethnicity? -

Sorry for the assumption. That wasn't fair.
What I meant to say was (based on an impression) - 'You were more likely to ride the evaluator or keep on walking down the street, if the persons were White'.
Meaning, the deciding factor wasn't really their attire but their physical appearance. -

Everyone judges others based on their physical appearance, whether you factor in race or not. Also, nearly all violent crime in the US is committed by blacks and hispanics, so it is fairly safe to assume that most whites aren't going to hassle you on the street, unless of course they're dressed like gangbangers.

The bigger picture is that blacks only makeup 13% of the general population, yet often account for an equal or higher amount of overall crime than the white majority. If you break it down and look at interracial crime rates the difference is staggering. Blacks commit violent crime against whites at a rate of ~25x that which whites commit those same crimes against blacks. Basically, a disproportionately large percentage of the black population is violent. This disproportion becomes even more glaring when you look at specific cities such as NY, Chicago, Baltimore, LA, etc. in which blacks most definitely account for the overwhelming majority of crime despite being a minority of the population.
I believe that the problem is primarily cultural self-destructive behaviors and attitudes all too common among the black underclass. The problem is black criminal behavior, which is one manifestation of a black pathology that ultimately stems from the breakdown of the black family. -

Look at the fbi link that I posted. You asserted.
nearly all violent crime in the US is committed by blacks and hispanics, so it is fairly safe to assume that most whites aren't going to hassle you on the street,
Which is complete balderdash. Whites still account for most violence. The vast majority of white homicide victims (84%) are murdered by other whites. How do you explain white violence and the thousands of murders, assaults and rapes without making a declaration on "white culture". White Americans are not non violent and never have been.
And black women are not committing those crimes, black men are, though that doesn't stop someone like Roof from killing elderly black women because white women will be raped. You seem to view black men and women as one in the same hence you keep saying "blacks". A white male is far more likely to do almost every single crime in existence more compared to a black woman.
Men commit around 95% of all homicide, around 98% of all rape, yet there is never any cultural explanation for that.
The vast majority of crime that black men commit has motive (ie drug related), if you are not buying or selling drugs from gang bangers why does this concern you so much? It's not like this is just spontaneous violence from culture like you are making it out to be. White people had higher rates of homicide during their immigrant era with ethnic gangs than black Americans ever had yet somehow white culture isn't seen as some pathology.
This disproportion becomes even more glaring when you look at specific cities such as NY, Chicago, Baltimore, LA, etc. in which blacks most definitely account for the overwhelming majority of crime despite being a minority of the population.
You can't even use Wikipedia to see the demographics of a city? Baltimore is majority black. NY & Chicago have almost just as many blacks as whites. Most crime in LA is Hispanic, not black. Not one city you posted is majority white and if you would crawl from your mother's basement or simply use Wikipedia instead of Stormfront of American Renaissance to copy and paste from you would know that.
Are you buying drugs from black males? If not stop obsessing and be more concern with white people who are much more likely to murder you if you are white. There are more whites buying drugs from blacks than the other way around so of course there would be a difference in the interracial murder aspects. 84% of white homicide victims are murderd by other whites. Why does white violence not concern you even though you are far more likely to be1354 murdered by a white person? Why do you have no theories about why white people do the things they do but claim some expertise about blacks?
Whites have certain self destructive behavior more than blacks. Whites are far more likely to use drugs, binge drink and commit suicide yet whites are still not seen as a pathological group or problems declared about their culture. ODing is now the number cause of death by injury, even more than car accidents since 2008. Whites are more likely to OD than any other racial group besides Native Americans yet this isn't concerning you, just scary black people.
If you are overweight, smoking, inactive, using drugs, have mental health problems, drive recklessly, you are nothing more than a racist troll because all those things are far more likely to take you out than some scary, random black man (or black person as you keep putting it, as if black women are murdering whites or anyone). If you just can't deal living in a country with "violent blacks" you can always move to Russia or the Ukraine which are pretty much 100% white and see how well that works out for you.
Russia has virtually no black people or Mexicans, has half the population of the US but nearly twice the homicide rate even without any black people. Hmmm
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/russia-legalises-guns-self-defence-murder-rates-among-highest-world-1475681
and Russia's homicide rate is still a fraction of what it used to be compared to the 1990's.
nearly all violent crime in the US is committed by blacks and hispanics, so it is fairly safe to assume that most whites aren't going to hassle you on the street,
Absolute and complete BS. You don't sound very different from Dylann Roof. I hope the FBI is tracking you.
