What do you think about racism, and about people who are racist?

Until we learn to accept there is one one race-The Human Race\nwe will continue to fear, what we do not understand. If we were all blind, would the color of a person skin matter? \n\nPeople who fear and mistrust are ignorant. It makes you wonder what they really are afraid of

personally, i don't believe in the term "politically correct" because i think as a free human being, you have the ability to decide for yourself what you think is correct. In a way i do aagree with you, a part of society is trying to be so anti racist, that it sort of backfires, but then again on the otherside of the scale there are still many many people who really are racists. I think we need to put a stop to this, why do we have to be portrayed as a colour, why can't we all just be portrayed as human beings? is there something so wrong or hard about that , that people can't just try it, for once just try treating everbody equally. peace out.

no matta how far we have advanced as a people racism still exists. Our forefathers have cushioned it for us a little  though and we have it a few ways better than our grandfather or grandmother or even our ancestors have had it. but it still exisits. racism now has taken on a few new forms though. experts have argued orgin of where racism began. Some say it was taught through parents. others would say racism is learned. but where ever racism has come from it still exisits. People just hate each other for a reason or we sterotype each other and judge each other and make assumptions that keep us from trusting or talking to differnet race. My father argues its only white and black in the world no asian no japenses no irish no french no nothing it is just black and white. I believe different. I have nothing against no one or no race if i dislike a person it is because i cant stand them not b/c of how they look

i see ur point. i've been watchin and actually witnessing people that would go to such length, of claiming that somthing is only so bcoz of racism...and for stupid reasons too. i mean it has gotton so bad that people fear to fire or not employ people if they are not for the job. i mean really. but some are racist, you have to look at the situation to figure out if its for racism or facism. you pull, a good point too.:)

I say bigotry, Stupid people, fear, and unwillingness to change. I saw a guy on TV one time, can't remember who or what show it was, and he says the reason behind racism is, all those things i just said up there, and the fact that if a white person celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but racism to other cultures wether the white person is american, canadian, french or otherwise.If a black man celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but oppression  and hatred for the white man. Black people have BET and have comics telling jokes about white people all the time, and some white people think it's funny, some white people get pissed. What if white people had WET and had comedians telling jokes about black people, the NCAA would throw a fit! I think his point in saying that was Everyone is just as racist as everyone else, you can't just label a whole color/culture/heritage whatever. not all black people are racist, but i'm sure some are, same goes for whites, reds, browns, yellows, everything! And i'm sure since you're from south america, a region where there are no racists, you do get some prejudice. But what if I, a white dude, went to South America and tried to make it? You think i would just mingle right in? WRONG!!! You have to make the choice yourself not to be racist or hateful. My friend and i get along just fine, he is black, whoopidy doo, our families are different but we have been best friends since we were 12, now 22. So it's up to individuals to make the difference.

These idiots answering think that you are racist?   it find it quote refreshing to see anyone of any color setting their boundaries - and not letting others do it for them....\n\nI am black and these people do not know where the line of racism is drawn.   Civil rights were based on equal opportunity - not the right to use "bigotry" or "racism" as a tool to force people to make personal choices in marriage, dating, etc.  That is overstepping the boundaries of the idea of stopping racism.\n\nI find this deplorable, the answers "conditioned" and those who use answers like this regardless of color not having the ability to think freely. \n\nI am black and I feel the same way.   I have and always stay with my race.   I am married to a beautiful woman and have three small girls.  (All BLACK) if they were to come home and bring any other race, I will go through the roof.  There are enough black men out there and they can choose from them.

I think that people tend to be less racist than they were in hate past but it still exist in smaller areas where there is not a diversity in race.Most people today do not see race as an issue while some don't believe in interracial relationships and others hate people of other races it is something that I don't think will ever completely go away but has improved over the past 20 years.

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:)

I don't have a problem with it, but I do think something's wrong there. Have you ever met a person that does that didn't have a hint of dislike towards their own race?

I personally am not racist, I'm a very open-minded individual. I know a lot of people are going to take your question the wrong way, but I see it as just a question and a desire to know and understand. There are some who sadly are racist here, but there are those who aren't, but you can't classify all Americans as being racist.  It depends on the person, not the country, no matter where you live.

No. Racism would be if you hate anyone from a particular race of people or if you hate all races except for your own. Racism is based on race-based-hate not on hate in and of itself.

honestly, \n\nI think white people are hated the most.  Ever notice that it is the white people who are accused of being racist?  You never hear of a minority being accused of being racist.  Don't worry about it, come on over here, everybody else is doing it.  Nobody will hurt you.  It's an exagerated idea in America.  Minorities declare racism to explain their failures or to better their chances of getting what they want.  It's called the race card and they all play it here.

Pancha, you have called people racists...myself included. Here is a recent sample: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Ao79ZwfZUjK8baIY_3_7XlYjzKIX?qid=20060608163620AA4HeyX\n\nI, too, have called people names such as "racist loser" and the like...so I'm not knocking you. But you asked for proof, and I've got some.\n\nMost people would not be able to find too many with your new profile, because you were deleted a few times. I, however, still have them all archived on my Q&A. Here are a few examples of the many times you were involved name calling:\n\nHere's a link where you used the racial slur “crackers.”\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atm31UNCSv7N.9kxtHrp56Lsy6IX?qid=1006032810512\n\nAnd here’s a link where you used the racial slur “redneck.”\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmooPAy9QP6HLcFFd4fFXDbsy6IX?qid=1006041005791\n\nHere you answer a question “Do people really think is possible to deport twelve million people?” by saying “Only the ignorant racist. “\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmooPAy9QP6HLcFFd4fFXDbsy6IX?qid=1006041305868\n\nHere you call everyone "racist bastards":\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atm31UNCSv7N.9kxtHrp56Lsy6IX?qid=1006041219787\n\nHere you call someone a “stupid redneck.”\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtHcmyNTvmcE350hze3zhb_sy6IX?qid=1006041216535\n\nYou've called me many names including wrongly calling me a liar...as I'm sure you will recall.\n\nAnyway, there’s way more where that came from, but you get the point.
