Everyone becomes racist to a degree when they are young. Racism isn't natural. It's something taught to us by our parents and our peers. Sometimes it takes awhile to break away from the misperceptions we've been taught.
You may not realize it, but you are being a little bit racist yourself by being judgemental against people who are "racist." Don't be too harsh. Many people who seem to be racist aren't really trying to be. They are just going on what they've been taught. Give them some time to "find their way to you."

People who are racist normally don't even realize that they are. They feel that their way of thinking is the only way to be. This act has been passed down through generations. They are ignorant to things that they know nothing about and have no desires to learn any difference. The only way we can change the way people think is to be kind to them. When someone is rude turn the other cheek always smile and just walk away. This gets to them the worst, because they are expecting a reaction from you and when you do not give them the satisfaction of a negative reaction they loose their thrill. How can they continue when you smile and walk away. That leaves them with nothing. Eventually maybe they will see you have allot to offer. This is my suggestion to ending the hate in the world by loving your enemies. If one hates and we hate back then all we have is hate in this world. So learn to love everyone and maybe one day everyone will Love you. Just remember you are someone special and noone can take that away from you.

...hmm...you said that "I just hate racist people... they are the true people who should burn in hell!"...that's not very loving, now is it?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending racists, but it looks like you've got a log of your own to remove from your eye so that you'll be able to see clearly to remove the mote from the eye of someone else.
If racists upset you, why don't you do what I do and tell people about the changed life they can have in Christ. I don't go into details about what sinful aspects of their character are offensive to me. I just spread the good news about Jesus Christ and the power of God through the work of the Holy Spirit that gives people victory over sin and then I leave the work up to God.
If you want to find a group of people who have overcome racism you should visit the church I attend. It's the most integrated church in this nation. As a lay Biblical counselor, in the last year I have counseled men who were born in Africa, Korea, and China as well as the United States.

Who is "we"? No we cannot live in peace until we root out all of the folks for whom the continuation of racism pays off for. This could be the white supremacist who needs some one to feel superior to, as well as the black "Community Leader" who needs to keep divisions alive to continue to be important.
Racism comes in many fashions and is practiced by many groups. True racism is the belief that some one is inferior or unworthy solely based on their different physical of genetic attributes. No basis or reason above that.
That does not mean you have to agree with another groups cultural traits, (if you would find them just as wrong in someone with your own skin color). It has gotten so that you cannot disagree with or dislike a person based on their conduct if they are of a recognized minority without being labeled a racist.

There are some wrongs that were done to Black people in America. This "I-wasn't-responsible-for-that-so-people-need-to-get-over-it" attitude is racist. White people in this country, whether or not YOU personally were around and owned slaves, are still enjoying advantages that were gained back in the days when Black people weren't allowed to own businesses or even read or write. Being against reparations for Black people in America is racist.

Racism is defined as against another race usually skin color, not really hair color.
Religious Bigotry is being against another religion.
Theres even being against a different country as racism.
In human terms its just ONE person representing usually a whole group. " WE" when its good and one person did the work. "WE" when one person did the harm and the parent is protecting you. Then '(s)he' when its time for work.
-
There was a time when Hebrews with different tribes was called a different Race. Even Jewish were called different race. Even Catholics.

All creatures which incorporate human beings have the undemanding choose of shield, food. an substantial different, and a chew of land to call their very own. devoid of any of those, human beings particularly would be unhappy and would even combat to prevail in them. additionally , human beings choose skill. oftentimes we human beings do no longer be conscious of what this is that brings genuine skill to us. whilst a guy shows the appropriate sort of skill and his undemanding desires are met, then he will stay in peace and cohesion.

Racists, often, are raised by racists. We are overcoming it slowly - a society doesn't mature over night.
Peace!
