Do you think we tend to be a racist 'unconciously' at some point?

Everybody has some racism in them, it surely doesn't have to refer to colors! Jealousy is a big racism sometimes\n\nRACISM isn't always a color thing, everybody gets it wrong!!! Why does everybody always think racism refers to colors?

You're stereotyping. All black people don't think white people are racist.  If you lump any group of people together like that it's stereotyping and racist.  So, using your statement, I'd say you're a racist.  Is it okay to be a racist if you're black.  I think people should just forget color altogether and not judge at all, I don't.

I don't have a problem with it, but I do think something's wrong there. Have you ever met a person that does that didn't have a hint of dislike towards their own race?

I dont know if we have acheived more.  Think about the Egyptians.  They were not white.  Think about the Aztecs or the Mayans.  They were not white.  In fact, if you consider the capabilites we have versus the capabilites they had, and then compare the accomlishments, they are heads above us.  And we have not behaved very well in our past.  As humans of conscience, we should be apologetic for out shameful moments.

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

Nope.  I'm no better than he is.  We're all God's children.  Like it or not.  And if you aren't racist, why would you even ask that?  I truly feel like we are all a little racist, whether we know it or not.  If we weren't, we wouldn't see anyone as being a different race or a different color.  But the reality is that we do.  How we deal with it is the problem.....

I would state that racist people do know they are racist. I am sure that they also know to what extent they are discriminating. Also, the whole world does not have a poor opinion of black people. \n\nI am a young (20), white female. I love people of all races. I don't think your color constitutes your character. Though, there are white people who makeup the void of "white trash" and there are black people who makeup the void of "black trash." We, the educated race, have to deal with this on a daily basis. Just because you are black and I am white doesn't mean that we are different. You are educated, as am I. You are a loving, caring woman, as am I. Our skin tones may differ, but you have to look past that and judge on the content of character. The people in this world that can not do that, then to hell with them girl, I've got your back!

Ignorance is usually self inflicted.  Or it is learned in allot of cases.  So there acting out either what they've learned or what they have made up in their own mind.  Some do it out loud and some are underhanded and dirty.  Nevertheless we must remember that any form of prejudice can classify us as racist, whether it's somebody in a wheelchair or stereotyping.  It's good to know we have some people out here like yourself that would let people know about their ignorance.  Good question.

I strongly agree with u on every1 being equal. Seriously, thats how I think. I don't think that the color of a person determines how smart they are, or who they are. However, I think some people are racist because they see difference as something bad.

I think that we are all racists - but some more than others. The main thing is to be aware of it, and try to work with it.\n\nI think the real problem humans have is with difference, because then we start making comparisons, and that's uncomfortable. Racism is another form of difference.\n\nAs a white european woman living in London, I try not to be racist, but I am aware of racist thoughts sometimes. And sometimes people are racist to me! (I have an Irish heritage) But I am trying to do my bit by bringing up my sons to be as aware as possible.

I don't believe people are racist.I truly think they are fearful of what my happen when they let there enter self take over with feelings that make them say and do fearful things . You do have to say a lot has happen.Give them time to get to know you and see if you still feel the same way .Are maybe them are the people you just need to still away from.

Good point. Some people would contradict themselves with this.  I personally think that being with someone outside of your race is wonderful. However, if someone chooses to be with someone of their own race, it is their personal choice, and does not make them racist right off. If they want someone the same race for morals and that they share similar beliefs, I would not consider them racist. But if they want someone the same race solely because of their color, etc, that is a bit racist.

I'm White and I don't think so.I like the channel.If you look on tv these days that's all you see is us.Hispanics have their own channel and it doesn't bother me.On another note anybody can be racist,but you have to tell the truth when it comes to us because we are often the perpetrators of hate.I mean look at some of the answers you are already getting,you have ignorant people spouting off at the mouth.You say your not "racist" but I think you might need to check yourself.I'm proud of myself and I don't need to put down Black or any other ethnic people to make myself feel better about me!

To me, racism is our instinctive fear of the unknown without the discernment that comes from wisdom. We focus on the outward appearance without searching the content of the character-- leaving fear and ignorance as the motivator for subsequent actions. Racism, unfortunately, seems to be too closely related to "survival" in the minds of those that subscribe to it so, unless mankind experiences some sort of 'evolutionary leap' or something, racism will probably be around for the duration of our current existence.

If you mean "racists," then the answer is a definite "yes."\n\nIf you don't know the answer because you've never encountered one (that you know of) then consider yourself lucky!

Unfortunatly yes, and from what I understand it is worse in some areas then others. I was rasied to accept everyone and I am still shocked when I meet people who make racist comments, like my roommate in college was smart but remained a racist because her dad was... It's sad. My aunt is white and married to a black guy, they have a restraunt in North Carolina and due to the racism down there she is struggling with her business. Shes in a black community that doesn't like that shes married to a balck guy. So it goes both ways.  I say, we should all love one another! Discriminate based on actions not race! But hey, not everyone is me...
