Education! Simply because there is nothing that has more bad consequences in all aspects of our society than ignorance!

Communicate and try to understand.  Ask questions until you do.  If it helps, try to compare parallel beliefs or experiences you may have with what the other person believes or thinks.  These may not be the same, but you may find similar things in your own cultural or ways of thinking that are the closest equivalent.\n\nFor helpful guidelines on sharing respectfully in a multicultural dialogue, see also http://www.houstonprogressive.org/CHRguide.html

Well think of it this way.  Do what you would want someone to do for you if the roles were reversed.  Racism is still alive and well and the only way to put an end to it is to expose those ignorant people who are still active participants.  I would expose her.  You have to stand up for something or you will fall for anything.

Get used to it. Unfortunately we as white people would never be able to have WHITE people only on anything. We are so afraid of offending black people that we injure ourselves. Why cant we all just try to be equal? There are plenty of young white kids like yourself that are struggling also. You should be given the same opportunities as everyone else. Yes this is a form of racisim

As long as there are people in this world, like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, this country will have racial problems.\n\nNoone is asking people to forget the past of their ancestors.  I do not forget the horrible problems my Irish ancestors went through, but thankfully their are not any (that I know of) people demanding I get something for their suffering.  \n\nAsk Jesse Jackson, next time he speaks, to try to speak about another human being without using the color of their skin.  People with influence like him is why there is so much racial tension.\n\n\n---\n\nredvegetable, (above), are you saying that Blacks have different 'needs' than Whites?\n\n---\nditty, (below) are you saying there are no black against white crimes?  How many of those have there been?\n\n---\nHabilis (below) most of your response was a good answr to the question.  I have to disagree with the Georgia flag thing.  That is insinuating that the flag represents racisim.  The confederate flag represents history.  The civil war was not about slavery as some like to say.  Slavery became an issue in the war when lincoln saw the opportunity to bring blacks from the south on to fight for the north.

Gee, a lot of your questions is about race. You must really have a lot of racism going on around your surroundings or you only see the world in Black and White. \n\nOne way you can conquer racism is "Quit seeing the world in black and white" and "Quit bringing up prejudice questions and scenarios". I mean talking about the Janet Jackson incident that occured years ago does not help. It's time to move on. Believe me, Janet Jackson has moved on, why can't you?

For larger companies they usually start with a passive approach.  If that doesn't work, then a more agressive campaign is called for.\n\nYou will never parallel the demographics in your area, but all you need to do is give it your best shot.  Never hire a person for their color, but always for their expertise.

Historically the big conflict has been between black and white people like someone else said. The big problem with other cultures like Native, Asian and so forth would be language, and that the community is tighter... it'd be harder for someone of another race to *pass.*

I had never met anyone that was truly racist until I was in Texas.  The guy was a cop.  I don't know what topic to chose, but maybe that will help to get you thinking on possible topics.

What' the saying; bird of the same feather flock together.  I don't think multiracial societies are the key to peace. About the only thing we do know for sure is where the cure has to start.  It has to start in the home, the basic building block for any community or country.  Nothing good will happen in your statehouse, or in your schoolhouse, if it does not start, and is not sustained, in your own house!

I think the media and the activists keep racism alive.  They spend so much time talking about the differences in groups instead of talking about the similarities and they are segregating everyone.  If they just quick talking about skin color or culture and quit pitting people against each other then everyone would get along much better.

Race shouldn't be an issue, but it is. Its not right, but some people can't see beyond color. Its just something that we have to deal with I guess.\n\nEveryone doesn't know how to be mature.

Three things to make the PC SHeep People crazy\n\n1.  Have them refer to you as Danish American or whatever Europeran ancestry you have instead of being white or Caucasian.  Tell them white/Caucasian is an uneducated and racist term used to stereotype a divergent group of people.\n\n2.  Cite white/caucasian hate speech in rap by the artist and ask them what their plan is to eliminate anglo prejudice in rap music or violence against women in rap music?\n\n3.  Fill out all government and university paperwork as follows.  When they ask your ethnicity, check other and list your Euro-American heritage.  Ask the univeristy or federal agency how many say Danish Americans attend the university and, if you are in the minority, tell them you are in a minorty and want minority status and benefits.  If they tell you that you fall under Caucasian call them a racist for using a bigot term.\n\nUse the weapons of the enemy against them and they will crumble.
