what is needed to have  different races understand each other. What must we as a nation do.?

1: think outside the box\n2: Picture things from the other's point of view\n3: Do more research before judging anybody\n4: Don't judge a whole race, religion or people by what some of them have done\n\nThat's what I do, and I like everybody and everybody seems to love me... my tips seem to work so well!

This is where we must respect the race of people. I mix around with alot of different races. We can criticise our own race, make jokes about it but we have got to treat the other race with respect.\n\nIt's like your own house, you can scold your brother or sister maybe even your parents but you'd never give an outsider the same allowances. \n\nTell it straight to your son, for one race to joke about certain words, we must give them allowance but we cannot afford ourselves the same liberties.\n\nKids always want logical explanations but as an adult, we know thats how life is, some things cannot be explained in black and white.

It really depends on the maturity level of the people involved...Whether it is the two in the relationship, the family that the couple has close ties with, and everyone else who may possess an opinion that has value.\n\nAny relationship can work, with the commitment of both individuals involved. Certainly a couple shouldn't see their differing races as a point of conflict, rather a platform of opportunity. If both people are inquisitive and accepting, then there isn't any limit to the level at which they can function in both worlds.\n\nMany people still maintain old prejudices, and it's difficult to escape from that. It can be done.\n\nIf you're currently in that situation, the best of luck to you!

Many people have qualms about it because it's "different". What people don't understand is that "Americans" wouldn't be here if our relatives and ancestors didn't mix. That's what makes us American.\nIt is true that, sadly, your son will have to deal with the confusion of the two races and being picked on. No matter how far in time we go, there will always be someone teaching their children that it's "wrong".\nI would say to not change who you are. Who you love is who you love. Don't let someone scare you or talk you out of it. As for your son, try and make sure he has an understanding and appreciation for both cultures and sides of who he is. And as he gets older, continue to remind him that people just don't understand things sometimes, and they can be mean; but don't hold a grudge. That's the last thing you want him to do. It'll be hard, but continue to encourage him to be himself, not black or white.\nGood Luck and God Bless :)

My USA citizen countrymen/women. The USA is a melting pot of many colors and nationalities. I hope all of us would defend each other against outside forces or entities. We should not allow other people to divide us by bringing up issues in the past that they use to stir up past ills. The past is and should remain there, in the past. Issues of today are issues of today. We all had our good and bad pasts, they are over with. Today we should look at each other as AMERICAN compatriots.

I would teach people to be tolerant of others, too respect the diversity and differences of the human race....hoping to ensure that everyone lived in relative peace, acceptance and tranquility......\n\nCan dream can't I.   .... coz I know it will never happen.mores the pity.

Well it all depends but all I can say is ignore it if someone bothers u don't allow someone Else's ignorance cloud your good judgments as racism is ignorance and lack of education  if that person have any sense at all they would know every one is the same we all live, eat and breathe on this earth and pay bills and no one person is better than anyone else as all races has good and bad people so they need to get over it and learn to be happy in the skin they are in and don't worry about anyone Else's as we are all the same and if were different trust me it would be boring looking at the same thing everyday plus we were all put here for a reason and no man is over changing that not now not ever

If you aren't comfortable in your own "Skin" there is very little you can do about it, however one can change their attitudes.\n\n   One way is understanding, getting a true grasp of what other races and cultures endure or enjoy. One need not be of those races or colors to share in the beliefs or situations of them.\n\n   Equality, in my opinion is a hard to define, often subjective experience. What may be equal to me, in my given situations, may offend and intrude on the beliefs of others.\n\n   I have to say it should be a word used in the context of commonality, and blanket justice for our species, no matter the race, origin, etc.\n\nRev.

delete the word race and instead use the word culture instead, ppl would be much more much united that way instead of being seperated by their colour

We encompass all races, religions and nations. Therefor, most countries that say they hate us, hate themselves.

we just want to be people.  if you are ever in a conversation with someone and they want to describe someone they saw or spoke to they will always be  descriptive if the person was black.  ie- hey i saw this black guy with really cool dreadlocks.  if they are speaking of anyone else they wont use ethnicity

Come on....... I consider every one to be equalls.  You are the one dogging on other races.  That is one thing that gets to me.  How come certain races always imply their is racism?  And want special privileges.  All people have the right to work and to earn respect from others.  Don't expect handouts.    We all started from one race... then the fall of man.  We all need to take care of ourselves.

The English language isn't perfect. Deal with it. Furthermore, I think of all the races.

The census now allows you to check more than one box. I agree with that concept because people should be allowed to embrace and declare their whole selves. If I had to fill out a form that asked my "race" and did not specify the option of marking more than one box, I would choose "other".

We will ALWAYS find something to discriminate against. We would all have to be totally identical head to toe- the entire human race would have to be the same age AND sex...same hair, skin and eye color, same IQ and occupation. That is the ONLY way that prejudice and dicrimination would cease to exist on Earth. \n\nOtherwise, the slightest difference is enough to create hate...unfortunately.
