Although your question doesn't specify a lot of people just assumed that you meant whites being racist against blacks.  I beleive that that assumption is racist in itself.\n\nI am white and grew up in a primarliy Mexican community.  I can spend hours talking about the racsim I experienced at their hands.  \n\nThere are more reasons than can be answered here but one big one is that the media is so obsessed with the differences in groups instead of their similarities.  They are quick to point out an ethnicity or race when doing a news report.  They also only show one side to racism (whites against blacks) instead of all sides because it is politically correct to do so.  After hearing the same thing over and over you tend to believe it.  People then become distrusting of those that are different from them.  If the media left race alone people would get along better.\n\nAnother big reason is that activists (Nativo Lopez, Jesse Jackson, etc.) are so quick to scream racism at every perceived injustice.  This puts people off and causes them to not care about the other groups.  Hell, if I'm going to be called racist just for being white then why should I ever do anything to help anybody outside of my race (i.e. Hurricane Katrina)?  \n\nBasically I say quit pointing out the differences and everyone will get along better.

raceism has nothing to do with what race you are.  It is in the mind.

blacks are beautiful people nice color, there are people that get tans and fuller lips to look simular to blks. but just like any other race some can act very stupid at times.

Unlike most, who will give the standard politically correct answer you probably expect, I will tell you the hard truth.\n\nStereotypes and generalizations are based primarily on group traits, based on years and perhaps centuries, of common reactions to different situations.  In short, there ARE traits exhibited by different ethnic and racial groups that are typical to that group.  I am not talking about skin color but rather common traits found in slang speech, clothing choices, even vehicle choices.  It is based on cultural values and experience that goes to the root of that particular race or ethnic group and has been cultivated over thousands of years.  Thats why you will find Jews heavily in finance, Germans tending towards advanced engineering, the Italians having a sharp sense of style, etc.

NOT THAT I KNOW! Because i have not really meet people of diferent races. Altougth i dont think nothing would change this answer, because i dont believe the race makes the people personality.

It's all a word game. One person's definition of 'race' is different from another person's. The philospher Ludwig Wittgenstein taught that all philosphical disagreements are caused by ambiguity in language. Some people think of 'race' as being the equivilent to 'species'. In that case they would argue that all humans are the same 'race'. Others define race as the outward observable physical characteristics, especially related to the color of the skin. People can say whatever they want. It doesn't make it true.

because Black is a dominate gene.

By definition, there cannot be a "smarter race" amongs humans, and that is because races DO NOT EXIST in the human species. The differences in the genetic makeup of individuals amongst the human species is just SO small that people cannot be truly classified under "Races", like for example with dogs. It is said that there is a chance that you are genetically more similar to a black person than you might be to another white person. And it is also thought that most "Racial" traits are but adaptation to different environments. Thus, it could be inferred that if Black people stayed on a cold weather, without much son for long enough time, their descendants would eventually be whiter with each passing generation.

I don't  want anyone thinking I'm racist or biased in any way, but people of African descent do have better muscles than any other race. I read somewhere that we have a higher concentration of fast muscle-twitch fibers, which aids in jumping, hence the high prevalence of African-Americans in sports such as basketball.

Why are you so focused on race? Is it really that important? The only place I know that race makes such a big difference is prison and other places where there are a lot of people with low education. In educated society, Latin generally refers to people whose language is derived from Latin.

Genetically speaking there is no such thing as race...it is a social construct.  Socially, it is a common thing to have parents of 2 "races"...the most important thing to remember is that there is only one race- Human.

I have yet to find one race that excepts everyone no matter what color they are. I've had racial slang thrown at me by Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't just practiced by white people.

Entirely social. Genetically, racial categories don't exist. There is more variation WITHIN groups than there are BETWEEN groups.\n\nAlso, Race and Ethnicity are completely different. Sociorace is how people treat you based on your physical appearance, despite of your language, religion, culture, history, etc.

Good question, I noticed you said "some" white folks, thanks for specifing that. Not all us white people are a$$holes. I am sorry one of my "white" counterparts has done this to you or someone you know. It may stem from the INDIVIDUALS insecureness. However, I have been outcasted because I am white, and I haven't done anything wrong to anyone. Hell, I am married to someone of a different race, so why do black,brown,yellow,orange,red,green and or purple people instantley label all white people as racist slave owning hillbilly trailer trash? Same reason whites do it to other races, all races are racist, try this out, live in a homogenious (one race) country like I do, and then you will know what true racism is.

All else being equal they are very attractive.  Every race has attractive and undesirable people

he he...yeah thats true. But the fact is whites are the most colored of all people on earth i forget what the genetic material is called but whites have the most of them and blacks have the lease. Also if you buy a color wheel that has every color on in excluding white and you spin it quicly...you will see only the color white.

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).
