First, I would like to ask you a question. Are you of an African American background or are you African American? I was kind of confused in your initial entry.

Most African Americans understand that our ancestors were raped throughout history so your skin color is no mystery. I believe the American media has led African Americans to try and change, and at times deny or hate their own (darker) skin complexions which I, bythe way see as a symbol of dominance and strength. Love the skin you're in. After all its yours for life!

Coming from an African American background I think that slavery of African Americans in this country still has a negative affect on black people. The things that were taken away from our ancestry, has an affect such as the number of poor blacks in America compared to even hispanic. Since we were here before them, I would think that we should at least be a step ahead right, We are not ahead of them because we never received reparations for the things that we went through during slavery. Many blacks feel bad that our ancestors were not strong enough to overcome the American government and get what was owed to them, however we don't know exactly what things were like back then, my point is there could have been a good reason things worked out the way they did

Hispanics have their own wealth that they worked for many blacks have a strange feeling about that, envy. My skin is very light and to most black people I am not black because my skin is not dark enough. African genes were taken away from my ancestors during slavery, that is the story that was passed down, I have visible European genes. BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE AFRICAN AMERICANS AND TO BLACK PEOPLE i AM NOT BLACK, BACAUSE MY SKIN IS YELLOWISH TAN, NOT LIGHT BROWN NOT DARK BROWN.

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY

What is the relationship between attitudes and behavior?

Attitudes are beliefs or evaluations towards something, while behavior refers to actions taken based on those attitudes. Attitudes can influence behavior, but other factors like social norms, situational factors, and personal beliefs also play a role in determining behavior. While attitudes can be a good predictor of behavior, there are often discrepancies between what people say (attitudes) and what they do (behavior).
