are you racist against your own race?

Honestly, there are good and bad in every race of people.  There are some moments that makes me wanna put a foot up their behind, but doesn't mean I'm gonna place hatred on black people for eternity no matter how stupid the reason is.  I grew up in a mixed suburbs where I really didn't have that many problems at all with people until I moved to an all-black neighborhood.  There, I was taunted and bullied based on my intelligence...and yes, for speaking articulate...notice how I didn't say, "talking like a white person"?  On your mental thinking, you're right, no one will ever shake you out of it, and I won't judge you on that...but I do think that your conclusions of black people are based on your negative reactions and experiences that you've obtained throughout your life.  I can tell you, I'm going through the same stuff, but I won't ever think of hating my race...that's like hating my father, mother, and everyone else in my family.\n\nAbout the dating out of race, you have your reasons...hopefully, this better not about hair texture or how exotic your child will look!  I hope you'll love that person for what kind of man he is, and not what race he is.

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.....

They are raised and taught to think that way. Also, their experiences may make them racist as well. I must admit that there are certain racial groups taht I am cautious around because of my experiences with them. I won't discriminate against them, but I do keep my guard up at times.

Race is the most important of your identity ONLY IF YOU WERE RAISED TO MAKE IT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!! if you were raised RACIST, then you are a racist!!! if you were raised to be loving and non=judgmental to others, then that is how you are.....racism is ignorance and fear of others OUTSIDE of your own race...

I don't believe people are racist.I truly think they are fearful of what my happen when they let there enter self take over with feelings that make them say and do fearful things . You do have to say a lot has happen.Give them time to get to know you and see if you still feel the same way .Are maybe them are the people you just need to still away from.

I'm proud to be white but when I cross the line and act like being white is better than anything else, that's being racist and that's wrong. The same applies to other races as well. Be proud of who you are and respectful of others.

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.

Probably the same chance in you not truly being a racist behind all the rambliing.  May God Bless.

yes.  i believe everyone is racist, including me.  we live in a world that tells us since childbirth that dark people are bad.  if u are in a family of dark-complected people, chances are they tell u the opposite- that white people are evil.  society is setup this way, so I'm wary of anyone who says they have totally escaped this conditioning- don't trust them on that. \n\ni realize that i contain this bias and I'm always trying to improve it... rather than most people who deny they have any racism in themselves, and never try to improve it, since they won't admit they have a problem. \n\nit's a worldwide problem.  I'm American but a friend from India once told me that "anywhere i go, I'll catch hell" because of my dark skin.

Being a racist against white people is just as possible as being a racist against blacks, hispanics, or asians.  There are groups that are racist towards white people.  "The Black Nationals" is the most prominent right now, although the "New Black Panthers" is catching up quickly.

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