Where Does Racism Towards Blacks Come From?

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.

Racism refers to "race", that is skin color and the configuration of human face. Disliking someone because of their nation is nationalism.

well chinese and korean people come from africa orginally. okay umm let me explain.\n\nGod gave caine a mark cause caine killed his father, son, daughter in law, and neighbor, okay. then caine turned black from this mark and god sent him to africa. now caine and his family were cursed (that is why africa and asia are poor by the way) and many overpopulated dramaatically and moved to korea, north korea, and china. that is why there are so many african americans in china and Korea and japan and indiana and middle east.

Racism comes in stages and degrees.\nMost of it is due to lack of confidence in ones self and inferiority complexes.\nHowever, it could also be because of trying to brainswahs a section of the people by regular campaigning against a particular group or groups.\nNone of these eventuallysucceed.\nSouth Africa , Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) are good examples.\nThe best example is the United states.\nAll racial barriers have been legally broken but the trend is still there.

its an word that many racial supremacists from the majority group use to defend themselves by going on the offensive and implying that the traditional victims of racism, like blacks, latinos and other minorties are racists also.

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

Yes, racism exists. But what seems to be more pervasive is the startling lack of education here. Perhaps you should utilize your spellchecker once in a while, or no one will be able to figure out what you're asking!

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!"

The racism I see happening most often is reverse racism. This is very much the media's doing and parents teaching their children hatred. There is never mention of the white people that fought and died to end slavery in this country. There weren't just families that lost loved ones on the battle ground but people that were part of the underground railroad and people that spoke out and risked everything in doing so. Through the years I have seen black people express hatred for whites because of slavery and their own ancestry. I am not saying there isn't more to fuel the fire...I am saying  slavery is the first thing mentioned.  Because of the sacrifice many made to end it there should be some sort of honor for them from the black community...but there is not. The end of slavery is celebrated as if not one white man died for it or gave a limb. Some blacks hate all whites as if all were the descendants of slavers instead of liberators. Whole family lines were wiped out in a war to abolish slavery and keep a country united. Why the hatred now? Where is the balance? Where is the truth? Why does the media want to fan the flames of bitterness. Why can't there be reconciliation now?

I like how most of you combat racism with Hate.  The person is obviously joking, probably a black person himself.  Truth is there is just as many gay and lame black people as there are gay and lame white people, give or take a few.  Blacks can blame white for Disco, but give whites a few years and they can blame blacks for southern rap music.

First I will focus on just your question. I would say that Black people are more racist for a few reasons. \n\n1) Black on Black crime\n2) Light-skinned against dark-skinned and vice versa\n3) Blacks vs. whites (or anyone else)\n\nSecond, I think that although some of your points are valid, you are generalizing. Black Expos don't mean that people of other races are excluded, it just means that culturally the vendors will market to Blacks (Afrocentric styles and products), topics will deal with Black issues (for example, the diets the Blacks choose may contribute to us being the leaders in having Diabetes, etc) . . . I could go on. I feel bad that people of other cultures don't understand that. I'm sorry, but Whites don't need a special month for accomplishments of their anscestors to be acknowledged-- we hear about it every day at school, at the workplace, even in churches, etc. Are men upset that March is Women's History month? I don't think the accomplishments of WOMEN (and I mean of ALL colors) are stressed enough. Any Black American who knows their history knows that most Africans could care less about us. Yes, many slaves were sold out by Africans. Trust me, find out you have an inheritance owed you and your family from generations ago and I'll bet you would pursue it too.\n\nI am not originally from America, but I was raised here. I think race relations in this country are pitiful. This is supposed to be the land of opportunity, and I think more people spend their time putting down other cultures. How many whites came over on Ellis Island, wanting to be respected? Wanting a chance at a fair life?Wanting equal opportunity. In a country where there is Hispanic pride, Irish pride, Italian pride, even Gay pride, why does it always come back to a black or white issue??!?!?!? Have we truly progressed so little?

They call the BNP racist because they defend the native inhabitants.  those against the BNP are racist against the english, scottish, irish and welsh and if they had there way they would dump them in concentration camps and change the name from great britain to slum new afriasiastan

ooo, you should read Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye. Morrison presents the white view of blacks as the "Other" and the blacks experience of themselves as a pariah, which means an outcast or a despised person. To that end, minorities who views themselves as part of the pariah class would want to rise above their label, thereby viewing people of their own ethnic background as less than acceptable or "hate-able".
