what was racism and how did it start?

Act 10: 34 - 35 - ...."God is not partial for any man from any nation who WORKS righteousness is acceptable to Him"...\n\nIf that's the case, humans are certainly not imitating God or his Son.\n\nWhy does anyone face racism? Duh...it's just not going to go away when you have countries such as America constantly playing their sickening tone.\n\nPersonally, I have given up on all whites...as they are always topping the list of hate and bigotry and they use their positions to hurt people of color. I now use my position to hurt them and they don't like it, but they get angry and try to "pack up" with other bigots like them.\n\nRacism...blah..blah..blah...it... old and tired but the real sickening ones who constantly perpetuate it won't stop until Armageddon destroys them. That time is not far off. Until that time, I just exist with 'em but I don't try to be too social or friendly because they are a cursed race (leoprosy) and they cannot be trusted...like a diseased frog or something. \n\nBe careful and don't get too close because if you were a cursed race also, I guess you'd have a lot of evil and hate within you and you wouldn't behave yourself fairly. Whites think they run everything and thing is, they do not and this type of "we can" and you cannot illness keeps them in hot water constantly so they lie when they are confronted with their evil ways.\n\nMany times they don't even realize how evil they are but then when they do, they get mad and defensive and it turns into "I just don't care I'm white and I can do this" type sickness. That's when they really need to be eliminated by God, but God has his own time.\n\nAs far as interacting with them, I don't really care to...I don't associate with 'em much as they don't have goodness in their hearts and they always lie and cause major problems everywhere.\n\nThe world hates America mostly because of them and they group us all in the same bag. If they only knew how much many of us hate them for the horrific things they do on a daily basis and again they use their jobs to hurt people and laugh and have beers over their evil ways.\n\nWhat does God have to say about that? Well take a look:\n\nPsalms 37: 12 - The wicked one is plotting against the righteous one,\nAnd at him he is grinding his teeth.\n\n13 Jehovah himself will laugh at him,\nFor he certainly sees that his day will come.\n\nPsalms 37: 8 - Let anger alone and leave rage;\nDo not show yourself heated up only to do evil.\n\n 9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,\nBut those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.\n\nNice ending for the good people soon, so just exist and don't get too close to them...they will backstab you every time.

Of Course! Racism! Adversity, and even Self-Doubt.

Having friends and familly from every race, I find it hard to believe that racism can exist if you take the time to meet someone different from yourself and to respect those differences.  You are right, there is a lot of emphasis put on racism.  I am always amazed that people who consider themselves good people think nothing of making some of the comments that they do when they either think that they are with like minded people or when they can do it anonymously as in this forum.  The definition of racism is to believe that one race is superior to another simply because of race.  I can only believe that people who have this belief are truly missing out on some great friendships.  To think that you are better than anyone simply because of race is the epitomy of arrogance.

I didn't think so before, but after seeing all the racist Qs & As on here, I have to think there is a bigger problem with racism than ever. Ignorance is the root of the problem. People don't seem to learn to empathise with others any more.

Wow Chino. I didn't think anyone would have the nuts to say that. Ditto and kudos. I think that for the most part, racism has been completely turned around. I think the majority of the racism now is black on white. There will never be equality as long as there is ignorance (in both blacks and whites.)

That's a good question.  It's probably just force of habit.  You may disagree, but I doubt that there's much - if any - lingering racism behind it.  People are becoming more educated and integrated these days.  Racism is a sad waste of the talents and capabilities of everyone, including white people.

No, Just happen to be that europeans were christians and white people decided to used their racism to segregate from blacks. Pretty sad stuff...

racism is wrong no matter where it comes from. Blacks can be just as racist as whites. You would think that those who have endured racism  would understand, but they don't. Not all blacks are racist, just like not all whites are. Some black women get all bent out of shape when black men date white women. They come out and openly state it. If the revers were true, it would be socially unacceptable for a white woman to complain publicly about it. Anyway, it's the yr2006, I wish racism would go away once and for all.

racism will always be around as long as social classes are around and social classes have been around since mesopotamia. Im against racism but it wont stop.

i believe u mean why are people so racist...there are several reasons why people can be racists like if they think their racial group is superior to another or stereotypes for that ethnicity or someone may discriminate because they are not of the same religion...for example african americans face much racism because of certain stereotypes that exist...racism is wrong and should be stopped

Racist= someone who wants special benefits and privleges over others because of their race.  It will stop being about race when racists stop demanding special treatment.

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.

Read up on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the forced integration of southern schools in the sixties, the Emancipation Proclamation, the abolishment of "Jim Crow" laws, and 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.  The Federal Government can, has, and does do things to stop racism and limit the abilities of racists to oppress others.  You can find all of this information at\n\nhttp://www.wikipedia.org

Ah, the age old question of discrimination.\n\nNow I know that you didn't think that you would be able to post such a question on Yahoo Answers and get a sincerely honest answer, did you?\n\nFor those of you who don't know or walk around with blinders on, racism still exists. A friend of mine and I were recently talking about racism. The irony of this is the fact that he is white, gay, republican and a reformed racist. (At my insistance, well at least that's what he tells me.) He had a very hard time being my friend because he was raised to believe that all black people were, well you know the n-word and all the negative connotations therein. He admitted it, yes he was raised that way by his father. The same man who abused and hurt him taught him to hate people of color. They moved way out into a rural area just to get away from minorities. Sad, but true. \n\nWell anyway, he told me that racism hasn't gone anywhere. (I kind of already knew that.) He said that it has just become no longer politically correct or socially acceptable to behave in a racist fashion in public. He told me that people still use the "N-word" when no one is around, and that the things that "the man" does to keep the black man down have become more sophisticated. This is true. Why is it that African American infants have the highest infant mortality rate in a modernized country? 9.3 infant deaths per 1,000 births. \n\nThe answer to why people discriminate against African Americans and Puerto Ricans is simple. Someone has to be at the bottom, in order for there to be a top. Eventually, money will be the factor that separates us. It will be the rich and the poor. But in the meantime it will be color, because as I have stated time and time again, people of color will never assimilate into the mainstream culture.
