What does racial hatred/black white thing solve?
458738
The only thing it solves is the problem of taking the energy and initiative to look for mature and humane ways to deal with one another. I mean, if I can put somebody in a little box, I don't have to look at him or her as an individual. I can then continue you be mentally lazy and blame others for my own bad feelings. I feel just the same way you do; we ought to just get on with it and wish each other well.

Race and color hatred is born from fear and ignorance.  Some racial hatred is transferred across color lines by past attitudes and actions.  For example, if you happened to be a Jew living in Nazi Germany, you might learn to hate all Germans because of the way your people were exterminated during the Third Reich. If you were black and living during slavery time, you may have learned not to trust any white people. However, ALL hatred and ostracism based on color, race, nationality or religious belief IS WRONG.  Two to four wrongs do not make it right!!

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.

Your english is fine. Far better than my spanish.\n\nYes, racism and ignorance is a problem in most countries in the world, including the US.\n\nIs it worse there than others? I don't know, I'm Canadian.\n\nI suspect the problem is more of one of distribution of wealth than simply race. It is a sad truth that even in a world with no racism, its easier for the poor to stay poor and the rich richer. Say you have 3000,000 people who used to be slaves and you free them but give them no money whatsoever. Even if the world is not racist, how likely is it that many generations later those peope are still poorer than those who actually were not put in the said situation? Once you factor in racism, the situation gets worse but, well you know.\n\nObviously there is racism in the US. Is it really the only problem that causes the symptoms one sees? I wonder. If only the world could be a simple place but it isn't. It is not black and white but more grey.

Why does anyone hate anyone?Some people say that it is fear of the unknown.others say its the media.i think that it has allot to do with how your family life is and where you live.I have lived all over this country and each place has selective hatred against one race or another some people are just bigots.

First, to answer your question...some people hate other people because they're taught to.  They're taught to hate by their parents, and their parents are taught to hate by their parents and so forth.... These beliefs have been handed down through generations.  \n\nThese beliefs were created in order to make people feel "better" about the institution of slavery.  If you can "demonize" someone, it's easier on your conscience to justify enslaving them and breaking up their families and killing them, etc...\n\nUnderstand, these beliefs were promulgated and reinforced from about 1619 (when slaves arrived here) until TODAY.  People of African descent were only LEGALLY allowed to participate in society fully after 1964 (voting rights act -AND, Congres STILL has to renew it every few years.  People of European descent or women don't have to endure this scrutiny).  \n\nIf you want to focus on a "color", look at Green.  Those with money have pitted those without money against people of color.  People of color have been the socio-political-economic scape goats of people with money.  Whenever people of limited education and limited means start to ask those in power why their lot in life sucks, those in power simply point to people of color and say, "well, it's because of illegal immigrants, or outsourcing, or foreign imports".  It's easier to make someone ELSE responsible for your misery than to take ownership of it yourself.\n\nSecond, there is only ONE RACE:  HUMAN.  According to the Human Genome Project, EVERY HUMAN on the planet is 99.9% IDENTICAL!  Yep!  The only thing that separates us...is US.  We draw political, social, economic, racial, gender, etc...lines.  "The only sin is separation."  Thinking, BELIEVING that we're really that different from each other.\nAnd to think, we make that stuff up!  We create that separation.  And for the sake of what?  \n\nAs Ben Franklin said, "we must all stand together, or surely we will hang separately."\n\nI wish you Peace.

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.

All racism comes from the devil in his attempts to preach hate and not love. Anyone seen as different is auotmatically rated less than, be it different color, different religion, being too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat, tooo whatever. just different from an average so called NORM.      Yes racism has a root.  Its from the devil and not of God.   The devil will do anything to cause hatred and division and chaos.   The purpose is to keep us from God and Heaven. But, its our choice who we listen to.   Indians are hated frequently by whites,   spanish ppl... list is endless. but, do look, racism goes both ways. I have met many that hate all white ppl.  Its a two edged fence.   Not everyone has it, but everyone that does got it from listening to the devil, whether they knew it or not.   you asked if there were no black slaves, would there be racism.   Yes, hatred of blacks is the reason they took them for slaves.  if they had not hated them, they would not take them as their slave.     You are correct racism comes from personal distaste, but where does it come from?? the devil himself, who hates love and unity, and wants to ruin us all.    The civil rights movement has done a lot to help, but true racists battle that and hate that too, and wont hear any of it. It only makes sense to those of us not racists.  and no I am not black. I am white.     God says He created us all equal, so any person that is racism, is not hearing from God.   Period.  so many wear the Christian label,but dont follow God at all. just assuming grace covers everything. No, grace dosnt cover deliberate sin, and grace wont cover racisim and hate. I am passionate on anything that is not of God.  God says by their fruits (actions) we will know them.  Just look and we will see. Racism is of the devil, never of God.   so is all prejudice.    PPl that hate fat ppl or think pppl or ppl of other countries and religions,   ppl that hate are not of God.   We even love our enemies, but we hate their sin  That is not me, that is God.     Love questions that make us think, and this is good??????Wonder how many have ever even given this a thought???? Ask on.

i agree with you...to a point, but, rather, I believe it is the black people who HATE the white people; I'm a very nice, welcoming, happy person who likes EVERYONE...unless they give me a reason not to. And most often, i find the majority of black people doNOT like white people; they don't smile back--they glare. Or they just look at a white person with hatred on their face. This happens every week, at the least. It also bothers me that I live in a white upper middle class neighborhood and...suddenly, a few black people have moverd around there...i always smile at them, especially because the most often put their heads down, like they don't want to be noticed, or anyone to, i dunno, burn a cross on their lawn...i say people are people, i don't care whWHAT color you are!

Oh, thank you. I'm so glad this ticks other people off, too. I'd like to smack the next person I hear use the term "reverse racism". Racism is racism regardless of the color of the person experiencing discrimination. And I believe that white people are really getting the short end of the stick. \n\n(I don't appriciate the term Caucasian - it means white people from the Meditterranian - with dark hair and eyes, an olive complection and oval eyes - but whites are all grouped together, and since "black" isn't PC, then they don't want to say "white", and you can't say European, because not all whites are from Europe.)\n\nWhen I went to college, I had a 3.8 GPA, I was in clubs and activities (even founded my school's debate club), I volunteered in community service, and had been a foreign exchange student. My mother was a widow with two younger children still in the home, and an income under $20,000 a year. And I wasn't eligable for anything. A few thousand dollars for educational grants, a dozen $50-$500 scholarships that I had spent a whole year applying for with every group I could find. (I worked in the Financial Aid office, I had govt. loans - bbut we're taking scholarships and grants now.) It was a drop in the bucket of a $17,000/year tuition. \n\nI think it comes from the racist belief that all white people are rich. \n\nEver since I started taking the PSATs in 9th grade, there have been boxes to check off. If you're even 1/8 Black, Hispanic, Native American or anything else they'll send you forms to get scholarships. There are "black" collages, latino fraternities, scholarships based on races other than white.\n\nThen you get older and you start checking "decline" on job application race questions, because companies that have government regulations imposed on them will hire a slightly inferior "minority" before a fully qualified white.\n\nThen it goes higher up. The state of Illinois just got pressured into awarding billions of dollars to just a handful of communities because their elected representatives bound together on race lines. The long-debated budget was up for a final vote, when the hispanic representatives stood up and announced that, unless the money was given to those couple of neighborhoods (who's officials were hispanic), then ALL of the hispanic representitives would withhold their votes, and the budget (which didn't include those billions of dollars) wouldn't pass.\n\nWhites could never do that. We'd be torn to threads. The public wouldn't stand for any of it. The politicians would be ousted. Just like a college claiming to be "white" would be forced to admit minorities, as would white fraternities. And could you imagine a white pride day? Or a European Day parade?\n\nBut if this racism continues, and I ever become rich, I plan to start the United White College Fund. Look for us in 20 years and make a donation.

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.

Three part answer:\n1) There are a lot of ignorant people still roaming about keeping the hatred alive\n2) There are a relative few who make a lot of money and power keeping racism alive. (Jesse Jackson, etc)\n3) There is another relative few who fear what would happen if we could all agree with each other and topple them from their power--so it is in their best interest for racism to exist.

Groups don't hate. \n\nIndividual people hate.\n\nSome people of every group hate; but groups don't hate.\n\n\nAlso: In many parts of the world, the idea of "whites" is a meaningless one.  The hating that is done, is not based on "race" as Americans understand it, but on other topics such as tribe or religious sect or caste or party.

Much has been family (up bringing) , then neighborhoods , schools , friends, lack of knowing we're all equal.One group feeling they aren't treated fairly.Then another yelling they aren't ...What's bad is when someone takes advantage of being a race , that offers employment , education and don't respect the opportunities offered or abuses them.And there are a few such races that are offered more ,so we (America)can try to balance the employment and schools.Still another area will complain . I 've done for myself and many others have as well .I don't dislike anyone but mean people.And they are plenty ,so all races should get together and try to end the hate. Sounds nice ,but history has shown hate at the beginning of time.

Our Thoughts and feelings are Extended to One and All, at least in This Context.That's what's Happening Right Now, as You're reading This.It is a very Positive Effect! Just Think, if People that Hate One Another could somehow Communicate, perhaps with Computers, the Hatred might Cease!

Seems like there are actually an abundance of "questions" by ignorant (and seemingly young) white people in which they degrade other races, creeds, ethnicities, etc.  Maybe the real question is: Why are we entertaining them?
