There are racism, sexists, people that don't like overweight people, people that don't like gay people, people that don't like what religion you are, etc. We are all just human. We are all individuals. I saw another question on here about why yahoo doesn't have fat aviators and people started insulting the person that asked the question. It was just a question. Why do people hate so much?

you know, i totally agree with you. i am absolutely sick of people being so critical, and jugmental before they even look in the mirror. i mean really, i'm sure everyone has at least ONE flaw. No one is perfect and  some people just dont get it. We are all just human and that word should be taught more often.

We are all Americans, all of us, and to imply that one color of people should only stick to one color is discrimination.  Which is kinda ironic considering that most of the people who stick to one race color are the same people who whine about everyone else being racist.  We are one people, at the DNA level we're all human and skin color shouldn't really matter much.  This sorta devision is what keeps racism a issue, because if people can't relate to each other they are going to dislike or be suspicious of each other.  Frankly, the sooner we realize that the only race that matters is the human race, the better.

I feel that all religions today have people that spread these kinds of things. This doesn't make their religions better or worse than any other. I also feel that if people were really committed to their religions, they wouldn't argue and spread hatred to others for not believing in their way of life. People who do this are hypocrites, because if they were truely devoted to their religion, they wouldn't critisize others beliefs, and would love and respect everyone else as they are. Discriminating only makes these people look ridiculous.

People are self loving, that being said it is easier to dislike anything or anyone that is different than (self) and even hate them.  Hate starts with name calling which is used to separate you from me.  Once separated, I can abuse you or say bad things about you because your different.  Wish it were not so, 6 billion of us on the big ball and we differ in so many ways.

I agree. We're all the same and we are all equal. Unfortunately too many people live in fear, and will transfer that fear onto others in the form of hate. All it does to me is show how insecure the haters are in themselves.

I think a lot of it has to do with the media and possibly bad publicity. I'm not saying it is just that, but this is probably one of the major reasons amongst many.\nMany people are arrogant and care not to explore into the reasons behind their stubborness. Racism occurs for many a reasons and you also have to take into consideration that it's not just the USA that is racist, but the whole world contributes to racism, not only to the Islamic community, but towards all.\nThe world would be such a great place if there was no racism at all.

its precicely because america is more diverse.  it seems counterintuitive, but there are so many people who are just waiting to hate someone, and there are plenty of differences to choose from\n\nalso, back when humans first started conquering everything in sight, there were some people who objected to taking land and rights away from people.  some brilliant soul got the idea to tell everyone that \na) the people they were conquering were inferior, so they didnt deserve the land\nb) the people they were conquering were inferior, so they were beneath worrying about and should be disdained.\nc) the people they were conquering were inferior, so it was the job of the conquerors to forcibly enlighten them, or\nd) the people they were conquering were inferior, and they would welcome their enlightenors with welcome arms.\n\nthese excuses just got ingrained, and then there was the fear of rebellion and fear of invasion that just turned into hate.\n\nanother thing people like to forget is humans are pack animals.  we are decended from a ancestral species that spawned humans and many of todays primates, and that means that we have a lot of the same instincts.  humans arent the only species that takes in other species as its own, even mother dogs and cats and pigs do that. humans arent the only primates that use tools, we just had a few advantages that gave us a head start.  humans arent even the only species who use sexual favors to gain leverage in the "herd"  theres at least one species of primates that do that.\n\nthis pack mentality leads to a lot of things, basically everything.   jealousy killings, especially over sexual partners, career ladder, things like that. we fight our way to the top, we assert our superiority of those we percieve lower than us.  this is where the race thing comes in.  if you observe wolf tribes, pure white and pure black wolves are often either cast out or remain in the low ranks of the pack. its the same basic concept as incest, in the beginning it was to protect the gene pool, now its just an accepted custom, exect with the wolves, its the opposite.  pack mentality leads humans to try to do the same thing, to keep the "inferior" or "different" people seperate.\n\nthe pack thing also explains a lot of bullying, and why people get such sick satisfaction from getting rid of other people in order to rise to the top.\n\nwell, that got a little long.  enjoy.

Because people hate what they don't know. It's really sad to see Americans say some things they do on here. It shows just how narrow minded we can be. It's a disgrace, and they're the ones who probably claim to be the most patriotic. Which is nothing but bs. Part of what makes this country so great is the diversity. Instead of such racism, they should show an eagerness to learn.

you cant justify hate.  I dont understand why so many hate because of what political group they belong to.  Who cares what you are?  If your a nice person and kind and gentle... who cares?

Some people are threatened by other people unlike themselves.  I used to be a lot more intolerant toward homosexuality than I am today.  While I still don't condone it, I am much more tolerant of it because I have met a number of people who are gay, and they are as human as I am.  Today, I believe that a person's orientation is his or her own business, and as long as they're not bothering me, or flaunting themselves indiscriminately, I say live and let live.  Incidentally, I would say the same thing about heterosexuals too.\n     Frankly, I'm not sure why these posts are being taken down.  I haven't noticed.  But I have noticed a lot of other questions on here that are very sexually derogetory, so I hope they're being consistent and removing those too.

Blacks and Women didn't get to choose who they are.  Race and gender are not on the same level with a lifestyle choice.  I don't hate gays, I just don't like their attempts to make the rest of us accept their deviant behavior as mainstream.

I read one yesterday and was shocked at how many people wrote "I'm not racist, but but I hate..." It made me really sad, usually you see enlightened, intelligent sensitive people (for the most part barring the jokers) then suddenly to see the opposite- a bunch of bigots, with prejudice and hate.\n\nI thought these discusions could help eliminate hatred based on skin colour or where your parents were born. I guess we humans still have further to go than I thought.\n\nI'm English but live in South Africa. Here everyone is working towards overcoming the divides. It seems that in the UK it is more acceptable to a be a racist. Theres so much hatred. I dont want to live like that. But I advocate freedom of speech, and that must aply to everyone. Im going to just read the questions that deal with issues not based on a persons skin colour. \n\nNo you are not alone in your frustration. I just hope peoples attitudes can change for acceptance rather than hate.

Thank you!\n\nBut it has always been, and will always be, that some people hate others for having different beliefs. We see it in politics, we see it in religion, we see it in racial arguments. \nI once had a conversation with a Republican from Y!A who basically said all Democrats were this and that. I asked why he would say, since Democrats are humans, the same as Republicans, etc. We eventually got into a debate and I asked what he belived in, naming a few of mine. He actually agreed with some of the same things I did and I asked why, even though "our parties" are different, why some can't put the hate aside and work for a common goal. \nNever got a straight answer after that...

people dont h8 on the ground of religion.  it is simply that certain individuals who enjoy hating others on the ground of difference use religion as a vehicle for their hate.  even if there were no religions, these individuals would find another vehicle to express their hate.\n\nconversely,there are a lot of religious/spiritual people who use their beliefs to promote love and tolerance of difference in others, and they remember that we are arl human, each of us with an equal right to an opinion.  truly religious folk make an effort to make life better for humanity and arl living things.  if there is a god of love, am sure he wants us to look after his creation, and not be divisive for the sake of it.

Human's are ego driven. They ask questions (sometimes), not to get the truthful answer, but to get attention. They want responces that tailor themselves to an image that they already have of themself. Answering otherwise conflicts with their personal beliefs.\n\nAnd don't get me wrong. But this world is FILLED with people who have problems when others conflict with their personal beliefs.\n\nSome people just live blind... who need to OPEN THEIR EYES.

People all over the world can dislike people who are different.\nDifferent skin tone, language, customs, height or weight.\n\nI am an american, a white american and a male. The USA is a muticultural country. We have people from all over the ethnic and racial spectrum. It took many generations to enact laws to allow all people of color to be equal under our laws.\n\nIt seems to be a human trait to avoid prople who are different...The color of a persons skin seems to be one way to exclude people from other peoples society.\n\nIf a person has something in common with another individual....Education, sports, entertainment or family values, then the color differences will disappear. That has been the case in the USA. People are not born lazy, white or black....They are not born less intelligent, white or Brown. They are not born viloent, Yellow or white skin.\n\nSocial conditions dertermine a person's behavior in many ways.\nA person born into poverty has an almost impossible chance to suceed in any society.....skin color has little to do with it.\n\nDiscrimination and hatred is counter productive to the advancement of any society.\n\nWe are all the same in the eyes of the Law and perhaps in the eyes of God, if you believe in God.\n\nEach of us in a small way can impact our own society...Tolernace, respect, understanding. Also, we have an obligation to help those in need....Black, Yellow , brown or white.\n\nWe may never eliminate discrimination against whites or Blacks...But, we must continue to try. One day a blueyed person may be discriminated by brown eyed people.\n\nConclusion: No Race is born lazy, dirty or vilolent....I see little difference between white people born in povety in a coal minning town or a person of color born in  povety in a ghetto or a Native American born into povety on an "Indian reservation" They all share one thing is common: Povety.\n\nOne day, we could be very poor and have little hope of success.\nMany times it is just a matter of circumstances that determine our future. Ty for the great question.  Billy

Many people fear the unknown (races different from their own), they don't recognize the fact that our bodies are just the shells of our beings and certainly don't define who we are inside, they're ignorant, small-minded, prejudiced, or racist.  \n\nOne thing that has always bugged me is when an ignoramous will defend racism by giving this example, "Look at the animal world -- dogs don't mate with cats.  They stick to their own kind."  But black dogs mate with white dogs or with dogs that look a LOT different from themselves.  As humans, we ARE sticking to our own kind -- our own kind just happens to be composed of all colors and looks (just like dogs).
