Just a question... never a racist.

Who wasn't enslaved by religion is my question. Most religions don't promote free-thinking. Being a slave in your mind is worse than being a physical slave. So even though African-Americans became Christian it didn't destroy their culture or their traditions, in fact it strengthend them and made them better. They knew they were invincible as long as they worshipped. So in a way, Christianity never really enslaved the African-Americans, it instead gave them a legit way to promote song and dance! Before that, they were whipped and beaten for singing and the like...

There is, and no you are not the only one. I am not offended by racial slurs at all, I was raised to love everyone regardless of skin color. If people want to act ignorant around me, than so be it. \n\nJust roll it off, and try one by one to change the world :)

The only racism i see is the blacks expecting special privleges over whites.  And that is very common.  When do you think this racism will end?

I don't think you are evil or "racist",   to me you're just someone who is standing firm to your beliefs and opinions.  I have read some of your answers and even answered some of your questions....you are by far NOT racist, there are some on here that are, but you no way.....your mexican fan club just wants to use the race card on anyone that doesn't want illegals here.  Evidently your doing something right to get them mad at ya.lol..keep up the good work.

When you get right down to it, what REALLY matters is your ACTIONS toward other people, not what's in your mind and heart.  How can anyone really ever be completely sure they're not at all racist?  And does it really matter if they have not purged every racist thought from their mind?\nAs long as you are respectful and do not take any overt racist actions, then, IMHO, you're not a racist, no matter what you think.

I don't know what question you asked.  I think curiosity about a culture is just curiosity.  Racism is a judgment, not an inquiry.

I agree. And NO, you are not a racist. What you are is intelligent, observant and very cognitive of your surroundings.\nMost people, sadly don't have the open minded gift of seeing what others can't.\nCount your blessings that you're not in the mass majority of the population that can't even see their own hand in front of their face.\n\nDon't let other people dictate your emotions sweet pea.  YOU ARE RIGHT ON TRACK!

Ron, they just don't care.  Racists just don't care.  No amount of explaining will help.

Personally, I try very hard not to pre-judge someone on their appearance. There are times, though when their actions immediately makes me think " I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire." As far as being more, or less acceptable. I can't say. I've encountered reverse discrimination alot, because most of my friends are of another race.

Being born is definitely not a choice.  It kind of makes the rest of the question a little difficult to answer.\nThough just to be clear- I harbor no more animosity toward people of other races than the next person.

I have no problem that you're racist. That is your own decision and beliefs. I am not going to judge you for that.

Depends. Not all people that others think are racist are actually racist.

I don't attack their character. I love all my people. For me it is a question of law.I have been blessed to know and spend time with/in the homes of many races in my 46 years and find that there are positive things to take from any experience. Peace.

Jeez, calm the hell down. I can't believe that you are so sensitive to things. Look, I agree there are some things on here that are racist and some blatantly racist. But the easiest thing to do is either go to a different category, or report the questioner. Do not bring Iraq into this. This is different ok. This ethnic diversity in this country is unlike any other in the world. The largest human experiment referred to as a melting pot is the first and only of its kind in human history. In the past, when a race first meets another race, they want to kill them, conquer them, and this makes them feel superior. I realize there are exceptions to this but the majority of the time this is the truth. So its human nature to do this. Its just like if there is a huge room full of people of all races with the lights off, you will talk to and be with whoever is next to you but once the lights go on, all races will eventually segregate on their own over time. This is human nature. But what can be done is tolerate those who are unlike yourself. This is how we have grown as a nation and why we are so strong today. Most other countries have one major minority group. The US has every minority, so if someone tells you or I that they aren’t as racist in Japan or France, that’s because they aren’t in a melting pot society where they are forced to deal with human instincts regarding other races on a daily basis and create biases and stereotypes. So in reality, this country is one of the least racist because the majority of society here has learned tolerance. I am white, and I have been racially discriminated against and profiled. I live in an area where if you are white, you are either lost, or rich and lost. So I get f-ed with all the time. But I have thick skin. You sir do not. I am sad to see that someone who has a genuine ability to convey their feelings in a grammatical and tactful way is going to throw that away because of some a-holes on computers somewhere. A person’s input in these answer columns are very important to some people and I myself have felt like this is the only place to have someone respond to a problem I have. Has anyone benefited from your input in a crisis of their own? When someone chooses you as a best answer, do you feel like you have helped someone? Well I hope you reconsider and just keep helping those you can. If not, fare thee well. I hope the world benefits from you another way.
