It's not so much racism as it is cultural differences.  When people assimilate into the mainstream there doesn't seem to be as many problems.  I am white and live in Chicago.  I have many Mexican and Chinese neighbors and we all get along.  There aren't very many black people in my neighborhood.  Why is that?  I think it is because of culture clash more than it is color clash.  Do you think there is a black culture in the US?  I do.

This whole mess started many years ago and has progressively gotten worse.  When I was in the 4th grade my best friend was a race other than my own.  I didn't know I wasn't suppose to like my best friend, I didn't know that all white people are racists.  \n\nMy teacher that year did something that opened a dark ugly world to us kids.  She experimented with us.  She divided the room in half, put all the kids with brown eyes on one side and all the kids with blue eyes on the other side.  Then she spent an hour telling the blue eyed kids they were horrible people, that she and the  brown eyed kids hated the blue eyed kids.  She had all the blue eyed kids serve the brown eyed kids as the brown eyed kids spit out racial slurs against the blue eyes for the whole hour.\n\nWhen the hour was up she informed the blue eyed kids they were all racist and always will be, that they will always OWE the brown eyed kids.  That made all the kids in my class depressed and divide for the remainder of the year.  We no longer were comfortable playing with each other, (kids are impressionable).  So blue eyes played in their click and brown eyes played in their click.  It seemed to please the teacher.  \n\nShe taught the brown eyed kids to defend themselves against evil blue eyes, that blue eyes think brown eyes are inferior.  She taught blue eyes to be ashamed and they deserve being chastised for their racism.  \n\nShe taught blue eyed kids they had no choice but to be racist.\nShe taught brown eyed kids they had no choice but hate the racist.\n\nI truly believe racism is taught, taught for an evil reason.  Today we are experiencing the results of that teaching.  In one breath we're told to worship multiculture, learn and appreciate.  How can we learn if we can't ask questions?  Since when does questions make for racist?  Or, are we in a dictatorship now, no questions allowed?

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

Nope.  I'm no better than he is.  We're all God's children.  Like it or not.  And if you aren't racist, why would you even ask that?  I truly feel like we are all a little racist, whether we know it or not.  If we weren't, we wouldn't see anyone as being a different race or a different color.  But the reality is that we do.  How we deal with it is the problem.....

I really do have to agree with you on this.  So many cultures had hard times. Some more than others.  Jews, Gays, Gypsies, Blacks, the list could go on.  I understand what happened to their people but its over, we have learned (or rather are learning) from the mistakes of the past. So why constantly through it in our face?  I feel we don't owe them anything any longer.  We have tried desperately to rectify it.  But it seems that nothing we do matters.  I personally sick of it (and I can see others are as well)  I am not racist, I don't hate people for reasons such as race, back round, religion whatever.  But enough is enough and I feel its about time some one voiced it.

I hate racists, having a black wife I've experienced it.\n\nGood thing in the future all races will be mixed and this "racial purity" crap will be gone.\n\nBtw I support amnesty for illegals, they are just people who want better lives'.

I really don't know. Racism will always be around because for some reason some people think they are superior to others. Just ignore the racists and continue with life and remember, only God has the right to judge us...\n\nAlso, to the person above who said "get all your LA RAZA and MECHA friends and go back to Mexico" or something like that... you are an idiot (enough said!)! Damn racists!

Yes unfortunately racism still exists towards every race whether it be Asian, Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and everything else.\n\nPeople fear the unfamiliar.  Unfortunately our society has made seem "okay" to make excuses for hatred.  \n\nWhat I feel is most unfortunate is the fact that the people who are prejudice against others just because someone was prejudice against them for some reason or another.  People cannot seem to grasp the concept which we all learned (hopefully) as a child; two wrongs don't make a right.  Meaning being prejudge against one race because someone has been prejudge about your preference or race is not right.\n\nIn cases of homosexuality I believe it is the same way.  Back in the 80s there was a debate about bi-racial couples marrying and just being together and now it's just the same but two people of the same gender. It's sad but I hope like all other things it will pass.  There is too much hate in this world and I feel it is truly effecting our country as a whole.

YES. I have been tired of those people for years and im sick of people like Jesse jackson, Al sharpton, anyone else like them that throw the race card at everything they possibly can just to get their slimy hands in on the deal and make themselves more famous. It sickens me and i wish it would stop but it never will.

Everyone has been affected by racism, even if they're white. It just works a little differently with caucasions. Instead of being pulled over for no reason or being watched - like a hawk would watch its prey - when you walk into a gas station, you would not be allowed to ever say "you people", and everyone assumes you're a racist just because you're white. One day in school I heard a black guy saying to a white girl that he hates white people because we enslaved his people. This was in eigth grade, and ever since then, when I meet a black person, I can't help but think he/she hates me because I'm white.

I disagree with the person that said move to Europe, I mean racism is everywhere no matter what country no matter what ethnicity. Yes us black folks get it thrown in our face everyday but F*** em' life goes on you know, "what they eat don't make us sh**. like jay z said, ain't no love in the heart of the city, ain't no love in the heart of town"  Did you know in the history of television, in europe 2 weeks ago, a news station hired a black broadcaster. Now how long has the tv been around. We may have a few more oppurtinities, but not much. Just do what we all do, keep ya head up and try to maintain, Like Donny Hathaway says " Take it from me someday we'll ALL be FREE!"

Hi. I'm Rommie's friend. (she answered above) Yeah, although I'm very universal in accepting people of all races, I also have no choice, but to accept the negativity of my race against other people's races and vice versa. It's not my job to correct anyone, and it would be a waste of time, even if I wanted to. These sad individuals have chosen to live a life of hate towards other races and groups, and their's nothing you or I can say or do about it. They have already made up their minds.

RACIST AGAINST US, THE WHITES? hahahhahahahahaha......i dont think so buddy...Racism is everywhere....after reading your question and analysing the answerer response, i find this millenium still having the same problem of racism just like before even though education level has risen up greatly...i guess it has nothing to do with education afterall, i strongly believe tht it all depends on situation, circumstances and society....how is the person raised.....and how you interpretate the world.....\n\nDont be a fanatic, fanatic people created racism and hatred throughout history...we all shld be broad minded and analyse the person who is being racist, maybe they are like tht bcs of a reason....or simply bcs they 'fear'....they have fear and dont accept change....\n\nBut again, let me remind you, we white people havent seen anything about racism...you wanna see racism, be Asian or Black...every single day you will be discrimanated and laughed at....i have seen it wth my very own eyes, and i have cried along wth them.....you havent seen anything buddy.\n\nYou are talking about becoming extinc and our nation being flood at, wht about the native red indians? we slaughtered them like animals making them almost extinc...we did tht so one day the wont step up and ask their nation back....this is the land of the free now, every single race has the same right as long as they become AMERICAN...whether you are black or white or brown or yellow...we are all equal...\nIf you are talking about The Great Britain, they are Great bcs they stole everything from the countries they conquered in the past....not great afterall aight, if their nation is being flooded then its either karma or the price they have to pay for past crimes...\n\nDont say tht they are flooding our nation, the nation is not even ours, now it belongs to everyone...we together helped it build together....

I thought so too for a while because it seemed to me that finally we were over all of that racist stuff, but we both thought wrong there just as many racist now then there were a long time ago....Understand we live in a society that is mixed both ethnically and religioulsly and most of these cultures already had problems with each other long ago ...Not excluding our own America...We should have learned plenty of lesson over history about racism but that shows you that the old blind eye is closed again and now some of us are starting all over from the begining to rebuild a relationship of peace and understanding....For this to happen so late down in time it is truly a mess...As long as you have those in this world that preach and teach that junk it will never be over yet along the ones that has there own opinion of things...So as we live in the really messed up world all we really can do is deal with what it is.
