The Question of...

[xSliderx]

Hey guys/gals.....
Racism is quite simply what Jeansi stated:

"We are afraid of what is differant then us, and are afraid of if cuz we do not understand it"

Thats the CORE of what racism is.

"Ignorence breeds ignorence"...that is also true, and the reason racism survived beyond the 19th century.

The sad thing about racism is NOT the racist people of today, but that they will pass this hatred on to their children, and children's children until ONE in the group realizes its wrong and breaks the chain.

Unfortunatly not enough people realize it, but I think its gettin better with each passing decade.

I mean look at history.....
In 1950 im sure the "N" word was used rather liberally in everyday converstation the same way we all use the word "fuck" in ours.

Fast forward to now....and its considered a "taboo" to utter such a word in public without being looked upon as a lowly piece of crap that needs to die.

Its a big improvment, and its gonna get better.

Education of tolerance is what will bring this evil thing to an end. It just saddens me that thousands of children will grow up with hatred passed on to them by their ignorent parents before it gets better.

Hasta!!

As the old song goes, "Turn back the hands on the clock you're a bitter old man who's done nothing but work your hands to the bone on the assembly line, you've gone cold to the touch of the ones that you've loved. Ignorance is something you can't over-come but you can pass it on down and that's something much worse".

Blacks wandering around at 3am dressed up like punks are clearly up to no good, but I'm not sure how they're distinguished from whites wandering around at 3am dressed up like punks (except that presumably in your area there are more blacks like so and less whites).

The one Chinese stereotype that I'm sure is right is the reference to the 2 gallon size jug of soy sauce which everyone keeps in their home

Segregation is usually the main cause of local racism, most immigrants do not mix with locals over here, they usually just stick together. I see it in shops, clubs, bars, restaurants. So they basically bring it on themselves.

EDIT: Hey slider, why dont you make a sig? It will save you the trouble.

I think racism has a lot to do with religion, in fact, I believe most of the problems rooted in the human race are someway or another caused by religion.

People have opinions about everything, so it comes natural to group people together into color and have opinions about those people. People are also insecure so they like attacking groups that are different from themselves in order to be 'part' of a group. Ignorance adds to this, since not many people have many black friends they like to label black people more so then others. Culturally since blacks were at some point slaves in the past few centuries in today's 'civilized' nations, this solidifies segregation and the forming of groups, it is getting better but all things of this nature take at least centuries to fix entirely. racism has also, of course, segregated the wealth between races, which in itself segregates people of color even more since people are a product of their environment (whether it be inner-city or suburb). technology has also increased racism by allowing media to flow much more readily on stuff like tv, radio, and the internet. u dont believe me on that?...imagine that u never heard of a thing called rap...im pretty sure if everyone wasn't exposed to another different culture by so much, generalizing opinions about people of different races wouldn't be as profound. gtg, but that the jist i think without fixing my arguement by proofreading.

Bottom line, it's plain stupid to be prejudice against people or a person for the following reasons:

Race
Nationality
Religion
Weight
Looks of any kinda( glasses, clothes styles )
Sexuality
Disability
Age

Plain and simple, it's just, plain, s t u p i d.

The only reason you should be prejudice/mean to someone is if they deserve, for being an idiot( by their own choosing ), immaturity, asshole/bitch( on purpose, just because they can ) and just about anything that they choose to be to fuck with other people over.

I have no problem with any race that does not racially discriminate against me.

Some blacks are just as bad as whites. They think since they're ancestors WAAAY back when were treated badly, they have the right to some sortof compensation. Im sorry, but YOU didnt go through slavery did you? Why should you get compensation for what your ancestors went through?

White, Black, Red, Yellow, if we were all blind we would judge eachother by sound and smell. It's just human nature.
