we all may have diferent skin color but yet people tend to hate someone because of their race? and how do you live with your self if you hate someone for their color?

It's pretty sad but many people were raised that way. They were taught an early age to dislike other races because the parents felt that they were different or inferior, or whatever silly reson people have to hate races. Other people don't understand the lifestyles of other cultural groups, so they automatically think that group is the cause of a lot problems, and in turn have a vendetta against them. It all starts at home though. If there weren't so many ignorant parents teaching their kids to hate generation after generation then racism would decrease signifigantly.

People love to hate.  And nothing will bring more people from different backgrounds together than hate, it makes people feel good to be able to look down on others and feel better about themselves.  It is very sad and I believe what goes around comes around for all of us.

I think what you meant by your statement about how "white ppl can be so blind" is not that you are calling all white people racist, but rather, you are wondering why white people seem to have a harder time seeing the consequences of racism or identifying their own racism.\n\nI think everyone is racist to some degree.  From my experience, there are two groups who admit it: \n\nThe first are those that are KKK-like extremists.  They admit to it, encourage it, and try to covert people to their belief system.\n\nThe second are people who try to not be racist, but were socialized or conditioned to see differences and attribute generalizations to people possessing those differences.\n\nI find the latter group - people who acknowledge their racism, are embarrassed by it and are trying to overcome it -- to generally be less racist than those who say "I am not racist."  Everyone who I have ever met that said "I am not a racist", I have found to be just that!\n\nTo those that say they are not racist, who do they want to find in a life partner?  Do you have requirements when it comes to specific race, gender, socio economic level, religion, body type, national origin or cultural heritage?  Don't lie.  eveyone does.  Well, that can be construed as racist, homophobic, classist, ethnophobic, etc.  We are all guilty. Admit it.\n\nYes, racism is in almost every skin color - but it's not necessarily racism based on skin color... it is bigtory based on any difference.  It Ruwanda it wasn't white people committing genocide, it was between the Tutsis and the Hutus.  In Germany, it was Aryan people against mostly other Caucasians.  In Germany it is now against the Turks.  In the catholic church it is against the homosexuals - not a race, but a difference in sexual orientation.  In the gay community there is bigotry against Transgendered people.  \n\nBasically, the real issue is not whether Latinos are racist against white people (which for some reason comes up all the time here at Yahoo Answers), but whether people in power and/or with authority are bigoted against a group with less power and/or authority.\n\nThink about it: What has a greater effect?  We have 2 imaginary men: The Senator from North Carolina and a Dishwasher from the local Olive Garden (I am making this up as an example... I don't know anything about the Senator from North Carolina, and I really hate the Olive Garden).  Both think that women don't belong in the workforce.  So, obviously in this scenario, both are sexist.  But, who really cares if the dishwasher is sexist?  What impact does that have on society?  That is not going to impact me, or anyone else for that matter outside of his family.  On the otherhand, if someone who has authority, who can make decisions that impact my life, that can create laws, that has more authority than I do, hates me for my gender, race, creed, weight, or sexual orientation, that is where it become an issue.  \n\nSo, to answer your question, because Caucasians are in a position of power in the United States, they do not directly feel the effects of racism.  They do hear it when it's blatant: when the KKK burns a cross on a lawn or when the Mayor of New Orleans uses the term Chocolate to describe his city, but they don't notice that standardized test questions are targeted toward the white middle class experience.  Math questions about the speed of two roller coaster cars don't make as much sense to someone who has never seen an amusement park.  A rat to a wealthy child might be a pet or a test subject - an animal that can be touched.  A rat to a poor child is more likely viewed as a bearer of disease, a pest.  When test writers don't take these differences into account when writing questions, it is subtle racism and classism that favors those who are of their status. My favorite example is Coco, the gorilla that knew sign language, got an answer wrong on an IQ test because she poi

I'm not black, but I like alot of black artists, so why should the color of your skin matter? Why should it matter, period? God made us all in His image. I think saying you should do this or that, or shouldn't do this or that because your white, black, etc. is absolutely ridiculous. We are all human beings! Listen to what you like! Be your own person!

I see your view! But it is mighty funny how we see every other race trying to be like us. It seems as if almost everybody wants to be black so bad but yet they put us down. But I know why it's because we are unique we have our own style that some will never understand. Don't trip off of what others think about us just be proud that we have so many haters. We must keep on doing things to make them hate on us and continue to move on. But I also see the points of others some black people give off that vibe and make that reputation for us. But I don't because I know that I am not the stereotypical black person I am aobve others expectations of  what black people are.

i believe u mean why are people so racist...there are several reasons why people can be racists like if they think their racial group is superior to another or stereotypes for that ethnicity or someone may discriminate because they are not of the same religion...for example african americans face much racism because of certain stereotypes that exist...racism is wrong and should be stopped

First off, that life isn't a color or a race.  Second is that they are some stupid people in this world that fear those that are not like them.  Three that you can't fix hate or answer hate with hate. Four is to be proud of who you are and what you are, for if you can't love yourself, how can anyone else.

You know what?  I hear this all the time with different ethnic groups complaining that some other race does not like them.  Give me a break.  You know what, some people are just feeling sorry for themselves or they are passing the blame of something onto another, like a different race.  I am latino and I don't feel that way.  Alot of my friends are latino and they don't feel that way either.  I have many other friends who are white, black and arab and asian.  We have better things to do and think about than another race is being prejudice toward us.  Those people who think that way need to take a closer look and figure out why they feel that way.  They need to put the blame on themselves.

I'm a sista but I'll answer this question too.\nUnfortunately, we are all victims of our own cognitional biases, victims of inability to find intrinsic beauty in all people.  The epistemic limitations to which we undeservingly confine ourselves to, is the ‘waterlooish’ inhibitor of social progressiveness, worldwide brotherhood, and general happiness.   This is why love knows boundaries.  It's time to overcome our psychological conditioning, let go, and simply just love...regardless of race or ethnicity.\n\nP.S. Grow up, 33.  What are you? 3?  Seek professional help; It's very unhealthy to hate your own race.  Don't ever e-mail me again or you will be reported for harassment.

Over 30 answers in less than 30 minutes...You hit a nerve.\nI agree with TREY45.  You like to instigate turmoil.\n\nI am white. I envy black people. They have the best color and skin texture there is. \n\nI don't feel superior to someone based on their color. I feel superior to people that are just plain ignorant, regardless of their color. No one has an excuse to be ignorant in the U.S.A. There are too many opportunities. \n\nI feel superior to people that harm other people and animals. I think they should be shot, regardless of their color.  \n\nI don't think there exists the prejudice people think exists. I think it's a prejudice against the deeds people do!\n\nIt amazes me that humans can say they do not like someone because of color or the way their eyes slant. That would be so embarrassing to admit. Think about it. I don't like you because you have blue eyes.    \n\nThat is how perfectly stupid all this is.................

Sweetie, people try to act like they're not racist but the truth is this nation is full of racist people, even though this nation here should be accepting of every race because of the diversity. The highest race that is being looked ugly upon is black and Hispanic. ONE day there'll be and end to it, until then YOU SHOULD TELL MANAGMENT. So what if they get mad at you, at least they'll know to respect you.

I don't understand it.  Why would people think anyone is different because of the color of their skin?  If you're white and you get a tan, does that change your personality?  No!  So why would being a different skin color mean anything?  Unfortunately I think there will always be racists...makes me sad.

I agree with you and wonder why some people are Racist, too.\n\nI believe that racism arises when people get lazy and want to feel superior to others: It is easier for people to judge people based on the OUTSIDE of the person instead of taking the time to get to know the INSIDE of a person.\n\nIn fact, a vast majority of evolutionary/ biological/ psychological scientists argue against the definition or label of "race".\n\nIt is true that, genetically speaking there are certain similarities between ethnic subgroups of people but this does NOT change the fact that overall, we are the same (Homo sapien sapien) and we are all equal in the eyes of our loving Creator!\n\n:)

You think your life is rough? I have been beaten, hanged (But I survived) cut shot at and threatened by bad white people and I still don't hate ALL of them! I am black but even blacks don't like me cause I don't look like the traditional black person. As for standidng out, BLACKS STAND OUT THE MOST! Asains and whites look simular in someways. Ever notice the word caucASIAN? Only reason why you think you have it worse is cause all you are thinking of IS YOURSELF! Don't you think that people that beleive what the TV say are stupid? I am sure you don't want to hang out with stupid peiople! Now stop worring about what others think and focus on your good quality's......

I think everybody should love whoever they love. There is no such thing as color or race in my eyes. I don't even think about someones race when I see them. There is ignorance out there. But always follow your heart, and do what you have to..to make yourself happy.
