Years ago I would have had to say yes on this one only because of the way I was brought up. We lived in the Bronx in an Italian Neighborhood (I'm Italian)and we as kids were trained (brainwashed) to hate black people and spanish people. The N* word was part of our everyday language and the stereotypes abounded. This was also true for the Spanish who we had an S* word for. On the other hand we(the italians) were called a G* word by the black community and the Spanish Community. It was only after my childhood and teen years where I began to explore the outside realms of my neighborhood that I realized a very important concept. The color of skin was unimportant. People were people. I do not use this as a racial slur but just to prove my point. Black people didn't eat watermelons all the time or spanish people weren't lazy and on welfare.The stereotyping that our parents labeled all the races with didn't hold water. This began my road to recovery from racism. When I joined the service I learned a very important thing and that was that we all bleed the same and that teamwork no matter what color your skin was,was essential.Respect your fellow man. I now continue to love my fellow man no matter what race or creed. Race should not ever ever be a factor for hatred, or slander nor should anything else be. We are all on this world together and we all belong to one race... The Human Race. God Bless

I will say this..first of all....everyone, An I mean everyone is racisit about something..no matter how you phrase it.
Especially the people who come out & say...
Hey, I'm not racist!! (if you have to say it, you are)
The way I look at it is that there are bad, screwed up people in EVERY race....nothing is black or white, purple or brown..doesnt matter...there is always some jackass making someone else look ridiculous!!!
So yes, I guess I am racisit...I dont think highly of people who have sex with animals, little kids, murders, KKK, NAACP, molesters, or just that idiot that decides to go 35mph on the highway in the fast lane.......
One of the best movies of all time...A Time to Kill.....
Says it all on the stupidity of the whole black/white race issue...
It doesnt matter!! Love everyone, respect others.......

Hell no. I grew up in TX and I always thought it was retarded.
I thought that it was in the past until I saw Black & White, when he was working at the bar and that guy was saying"our town isnt "tainted"". WTF?
And what difference does it make what race you are?
" By the way I am an African-American Female"??

I posted a question concerning racism last week, and as expected, from 43 answers, only 3 admitted being racist. I don't bigot blacks, or Latins or Indians, but i don't like Chinese or Japanese people. I think they smell like garlic and look like you slammed a pan across their face. Sorry!! I know there's someone out there who won't like catalonian people like me, too. Just trying to be honest, not inciting anything, peace-

Looks like no one wanted to take you up on this one, huh?
I'm not racist, have 4 biracial kids. Happily married to a black man and have been even before it was popular.
I wouldn't worry so much about tracking down the racist. They expose theirselves all too much already!!!

I think we the human race tend to place too much emphasis on
other people's physical appearance, and this is the case in the U.S. in particular.if you have good looks and a fair skin color ,you
are all right,they like you no matter whether you are caucasian or
not. a jim-crow strongly believes that the white race is better than
any other race in many ways.

NO. I believe in one race, the human race. It is a shame that some of these idiots, for lack of brain power, belong to it.

I don't consider myself racist, because I hate EVERYBODY! That's just a joke, by the way.
