I totally hate racist ppl because dont they have anything better to do than pic on ppl who are different from them and why do they think there so much more than us? i used to get racist comments from when i was in primary school because of the fact that im Chinese , they used to pull back there eyes and everything it wasnt nice at all to go through that. :tears: And then you get people who are racist against black ppl and thats one thing that i cannot stand because there no different just because he's a different colour. Does anyone else think this i garuntee you most of you will think the same

I didn't really understand what racism was until I moved down to the South [United States].....
even without SAYING anything, there's this......horrible, unwritten class division between black people and white people......
I honestly did not see any carnal difference between myself, and someone of a different color.....I simply saw it as just another difference that we ALL possess.....I thought of it as in the same vein as some people having blue eyes, others having brown........that sort of nonessential trait.
Those were the days.......those were the days........

I think racism is somewhat a sad thing, but also that the people who can't stand hearing something like a racist or stereotypical joke are worse than the racists. It's an awkward concept, but I've noticed that the major anti-racists are the ones who are segregating America. Doing just what the racists want, and in some cases, justifying the racism. I'm mainly talking about how black people try to start "black-only" fads and are practically starting their own black supremacy. There are more black racists than there are white ones. However, I believe in the 'current generation' of citizens (the next to be runners of the country, not the current runners) contains little to no racism in terms of enough to have an effect. We do use more stereotypes or jokes, but they are meaningless and only bring us together.

Hmm...........does that mean that when two black gangs in L.A. go to war with each other, any one of the gang members can be arrested for "hate crime" violations?
I, personally, would be pissed off at the condescension with which such laws bring, if I was black.....

"Hate crimes" are complete bullcrap. Just because you harm a black guy does not make you racist. To measure anything with "hate crimes" is an unvalid example.

To be honest, i think it is the majority of white people that are being victimised now. Karma some may say, but thats bullshit. I have learned alot this past year alot with equal oppetunities. But i still think it is wrong of the gorvement in the UK, to treat the new asylum seekers first rather than deal with their own residents.

((Hope this doesn't come out as more of a rant))
Interesting statements, and I guess it depends on where you are from on how you view things. For me ... I am African American from the South, and as everyone know that is racism central, so I don't see some of your cases. Do I think I am a racist ... in some cases, because I do tend to see things from the perspective of a black person. Things that might not be seen as being a big deal could be a big deal to me, and vice versa ... like how in the same city .. places where whites live look so much better than blacks. Where roads are generally fixed are in white neighborhoods, and how my house alarm can go off ((I live in a suburban mainly white area)), and the police get there faster than where my grandparents live ((in a city mainly black area)). I am not talking about hours here ... I mean days ... my alarm went off, and the police was there in like 10 mins, and my Grandparents went off at ... and the police showed up the next day. It might have more to do with funding though ..., but then again.. that can lead back to the same circle.
Though I have seen it happen the other way around with white classmates being terrorized for making a statement that ever other black person had been making. The sad thing about it .. neither really realize why the word is so bad ... they just know what they had been told about it. Reason why I think black elders should talk more to the younger generation about it ... so that maybe the ignorance of the subject can be dismissed. Yet then again, that could breed more problems than not .. if only one side of the story is told, with certain parts missing out. Like not all whites were for slavery .... Quakers were against slavery, and actually hid out runaway slaves in thier establishments. In the North ... slavery was abolished, and it was the Christian church that made the slave trade what it was.
Slave ships actually had names like Jesus on them.
I do believe that there is such a thing as hate crimes.
Hate crimes are crimes inwhich the motive is nothing but racial hatred. For example, a person whom has no connection to the murderer whatsoever is killed, and have the words red neck written on thier forehead. A guy whom is stabbed to death, and when they capture the killer ... the killer continues rambles ...
"All those white bastards ... I am going to kill them all."
If there is no such thing as hate crimes ... what do you call what the Nazi did to Jews, and what do you call what the KKK did to African America? Hell ...what do you call what happen in Rowanda ... if you know anything about that incident ((black on black slaughtering)).
A hate crime breeds the idea that this person was killed for a very good reason, or if this person even have a reason for targetting them. This can include serial killers whom only target woman or even one that just kill men.
Yeah, you talk about the older black people & thier racist ways, but most of them lived through it. They do make it a point to let it be known to never forget ... I mean do you expect the Jews to forget about the Halocaust? Yeah, you have black only circles ... well that can be expected don't you think? Every other race has them, and they are called racist for these types of groups as well. Those will probably always exist, but if they make it a point to start restricting others from their freedoms or throwing them out of the establishments ... then I say let's get them.
No one has the right to stop anyone from doing anything, and the thing that made racism so bad was that it did stop people from doing things despite what they wanted to do.
Whites couldn't marry blacks.. no matter how much they loved each other. Native American were say not to have any rights ... simply because of whom they were, and they were never given any acknowlodgement to this day ... for the thing that they discovered ... like America.
Everyone should have the right to chose to be together, and if they decide not to do it .. then that is their lost. No on is going to destroy the KKK as long as they remain peaceful in what they do, but if they go out kill people ... well you can guess they won't be allowed to exist much longer.
Though as time goes on ... everyone will eventually learn to get along again ... believe this or not, racism didn't exist until America brought it into being. Slaves uses to be able to work off thier debt, and gain freedom after so long ... as well as citizenship & a home of thier own ... plus a donkey. Slaves were of many different races, and creeds .. and it was only when America decided to pick black people for reason like ... it's easier to tell them apart did perment bondage come into existances, and racism was born.
Thus as time progress, we will go back to hating what we have always hated ... those whom live outside of our borders ... believe or not ... racism originally was by territories, or by enemy nations. No one cared what you look like ... it was where you were from that caused all the problems.

There shouldn't be any difference in humans, but because you look talk or simply do something different, you will be mostly victimised for it. Everyone is equal to their indivual needs but hate crimes will never stop no matter how hard you wish it.... its a sad thought no matter how much you do to help the comunity your still bitten in the ass with racism. I also think splitting each other up is a racist uprising, like having a black pride day. Its good you can celebrate that but everyone should celebrate it too.... no one understands me i bet

I'm a racist. I'll be the first to admit it. I hate Humanity. I am racist against Humanity. They do not deserve my love, and thus, they do not have it. Bastards should all die. They deserve only death. Right? Those are my personal, honest-to-God views. I simply do Hate Humanity. They disgust me, sicken me, and make me wanna take a base-ball bat to everyone one of their heads until the gooey insides of their brains leaks onto my shoes as a new-age polisher. I really do feel that way.
Black, white, chinese, red, purple with pink spots, they are all the same to me. I dont change how I feel towards someone because of their skin colour, eye colour, their choice of clothes, or the cars they drive. My views change from the words they say, the way they act, and the useless fuck-ups they perform daily.
Humanity is segregated, there is no denying it. As.. someone.. mentioned earlier, we have 'Black Only' groups. We have' Women Only' Car Insurance. We have these stereotypes where the French are stuck-up bastards, the Germans are efficient England-haters, and the English drink tea constantly and whine about the weather. Humanity views each other as different. And I dont think that'll ever change. Removing Racism will never happen, unless one dominant race somehow manages to take over the world (and by races, I also mean sex, wealth, car colour, hair style, everything)
As long as there are differences, there shall be people who don't agree with said differences. What would you prefer? A violent world of racism and hatred, or a boring, monotomous world where everybody is exactly the same?!
I dont know what point I'm trying to get at here.. But.. I'm tired, and perhaps I'll try to explain something tomorrow.. First.. sleepy time...

No, i get you on that one, but the reason for black pride day ... is because every other day of the year ... it's kind of forgotten. Kind of like black history month ... why the hell do we have to have that ... why don't they just put the achievements in the book, and don't segregate every other race to a five minute slot. I mean is that too much to expect that because America is multicultural our text books don't just stick to one perspective ... yet, that's not the case.
Textbooks are design to show the good parts of our history, and exclude the bad ..like how other races have been treat. Reason why black history is even looked at is ... because we keep complaining about it if it isn't, and if you don't believe me on that how much do you know about Native American History or even hispanic American History. It's like the Alamo ... I don't think people will look on it so kindly if they realized the only reason why it took place was because Americans were literally invading Mexico ... settling on it's land, and refusing to move. Geesh put a whole new spin on the Mexican should stay on thier side of the line don't it.
Yet, I guess that is part of that one-sided view, and why every race has to make a slot where they try to make it apoint to remember thier own history.
It's sad but true.

Ive got a big problem with racism, especially with the past mistakes made by the white people, who started this whole thing. Who forced slavery on the africans who were living adequatly. Still makes me sick.
I know racism still exists today, which makes me mad as well, my boyfriend and brother both got mugged, one on a monday, the other a few days after in two different areas, where arent many white people around, my boyfriend got mugged in BROAD DAYLIGHT, by two coloured people apparantly, the area that happend was a place called Handsworth, where there arent many signs of white people around, Fair? hell no
I hate people who play the race card aswell, who thinks we are being racist just because I or someone else disagrees. Ive heard a few racist comments about me or my race, i dont care about it though, but i do care of those who will take it into consideration. I have friends of a variety of different cultures, which makes it interesting to know them, and learn from them. I think the variation. Because it means the world isnt so plain, and boring with everyone being the same. Its a great thing, Racism is not

You're being racist by saying "human" just as much as you are by saying "black people". WTF is racist about "black people"?!

If black people is racist then when black people call white people white shouldn't they something like non-colored people. You never here a black guy say that so if a black guy is offended with you calling him what he is then it should swing both ways.

I think racism and war will always exist as long as we distance ourselves from people, assign titles to people, and close ourselves off from communication between us and the rest of the world.
It's not bad to be proud of where you came from, but.......you jsut have to be receptive to other people--do unto others as you would have done unto you
