Hey Guy, You hit the nail on the head..
Most of the people that yell and say that they are descriminated against are usually just low life people that are too dumb to get a good job or, just too lazy to work or to go to school.
I will say this about the Indians though. THEY HAD SOME VERY POOR IMAGRATION LAWS.
You have a good day.

I am with you, I really don't understand this racism thing anyway. Every race is equal, but some people just want to hide behind there race. They use it as a tool, when things don't go there way. " I was held back, because of my race!! Give me a break, if you are qualified to do a job, you will get it, it doesn't matter what your race is. A friend of mine, did the hiring, and firing of the people who worked for him, and orders came down, from the main office, that you must hire a certain number of minorities, for the job, EVEN, if they were not qualified, just one example..I could give you many examples, but I am sure that you know what I am talking about..We need to get over, this racism stuff, and everyone should be treated equally!!

I think I get what you're saying. It came out a little harsh. I don't think anyone should say they're descriminated against by EVERYONE, or insinuate it. This is what creates a domino effect of racism. When a minority reacts to one instance, that reaction spurs a reaction from some other hot headed trouble lover. Before you know it, there is a full blown race war. People need to see others as individuals, not as a representative of their race or culture.

Yes! Sure, race still has value today unfortunatley, but I like bill cosby's veiws on it. If u wanna hold the white man down instead of the other way around, study, get an education, and make that money u want them to freely give u. Earn ur keep, climb up the ladder with the sweat off ur brow, not a check from the govt.

I'm probably the least racist person you could ever meet & yes, I'm totally sick of racism, wherever or whoever it comes from. I think it's about time that every human being realised that we are all the same, underneath our skin. Just because we are brought up in different cultures with different languages & religions, doesn't make any of us any better than the next person!
The only thing I am opposed to (and this goes to people of every race, colour & creed) is people trying to push their ideals on me & make me live my life the way they live theirs (born again christians come to mind here, I'm afraid - but only as an example).
If I had one wish, it would be that everyone would live in peace with one another - "live & let live" is my motto!

Yep...I'm real tired of it...but I'm about as white as they come, too. I'm not trying to minimize it, but human suffering has been a part of history since Hector was a pup. It will never change, unfortunately. Man will continue to be cruel to his fellow man. The problem is, it had become a means by which people now get preferential treatment at the expense of others.
It's important to know what to pass on to your children. History is important no matter how much it hurts to tell, but prejudice should never know the next generation.

If people don't speak up then it will not stop. It is one thing to be raciest because of issues in the past that didn't even happen to you personally. Sometimes you need to leave the past in the past. But if you have been a victim of racism and you do nothing then you are letting them do this to you. But if you stand up and let them know you will not put up with that, then you can help it stop. But one thing to realize is that those with racism in their hearts, are the ones that go to bed ever night with hate in their hearts. Sometimes it is also good to just kill racism with kindness. Like when someone calls you a raciest name just say thank you and have a nice day, then go about your way. But either way you handle it not saying or doing anything is not going to solve the problem.

The real problem is that instead of healing realtionships, the desire to blame continues to such an extent that now groups are racism against eachother. Being racist against white people doesn't solve anything just like being racist towards other groups doesn't. Getting along must be mutual and no one is willing to make that step - blacks, whites, mexicans, jews, asians, etc.

Sorry, gimme a second I just peed myself laughing at the Holocaust comment. That is the past, it is horrible, but it is over. Unless you live in fear of a poison gas shower you need to shut up and stop trying to ride the pity train for something you never had to even experience in the slightest. Honor your dead ancestors by moving on and doing right instead of feeling sorry for yourself with absolutely no basis.

Not everyone is capable of forgiving like your grandmother, and back then they didnt have laws to deal with racism like they do now, it is our right to complain.
By the way this is a really stupid veiw u have, what if someone discriminated against you racially?
