Answer 2

Racism will always be here until human beings are completely wiped out like the dinosaurs. There is always some sort of hierarchy between humans. Even people of the same race. Once some one feels that there are better than someone else it brings stereotypes and next racism. I wish that we can admire the beauty in every race but unfortunately that is impossible. The world is made of so many different species. That come in different colors, sizes, shapes etc. They learn to get along why can't we. The reason having a larger brain is a curse not a blessing.

Answer 3

It will never happen. The whites that are racist are that way based on either what they have seen with their own eyes, what they have heard, or what they have been taught.

Blacks need to do a better job of PR. It is true that there always seems to be a camera when a black person does something wrong but whites seem to be invisible to the cameras. Even when cops are beating blacks people still side with the police officers. These officers are put on paid suspension until they are acquitted - this is literally the same thing as vacation when you stay in town. This is the media's fault, there are news shows that only show the minorities getting arrested and whatnot. Then they introduce the question of what the person did wrong off-camera as if anyone deserves a beating like that for doing anything less than beating someone up or trying/succeeding killing someone. It is also our fault for doing whatever it is that got us arrested. Also, there is no fixing people when they are broken. What needs to happen is every parent of a minority needs to begin teaching their children to respect education more and self discipline so they can make the decision to not get caught up in the BS that so many of us get caught up in.

On the white side, they need to do a better job of making it a bad thing when it comes to racists comments. If you don't make it unpopular people will always feel it is ok to be that way. Also, parents need to realize that it isn't right to hate another people, nor is it right to spoon-feed those ideas into their kids.

All in all I think this is why we need religion. There is no true religion that teaches hate towards anyone. If everyone actually learned and practiced what their religions taught it would be both rare and unpopular to be racist.

It saddens me that this is truly the case. Why do people hate me? I didn't do anything to them, I don't hate them, in fact for the ones that hate us for what they've seen I can agree with your points for not liking blacks. That doesn't mean I hate them, and neither should they.

Answer 4

As broad and as consistent (i.e. not merely a 'zoo tour' every now and again) an exposure to other cultures and other ethnicities from as early an age as possible.

We are biologically hard-wired to identify with a group of 50 or so people who we see around us during early childhood (during earlier times this would have been the members of our 'tribe' - ~50 being the number anthropologically determined to have been the level most social groups tended/tend towards), picking out as many features as possible that are similar between the 50 and then using these to tell friend from foe in the future.

Thus, the broader one's initial experience (i.e. the less homogeneous the group of 50), the fewer necessary features we pick out for 'friends', and concordantly, the larger the number of people that we do not inherently distrust.

Look, for example, at some of the more insular and isolated rural societies in SE Asia - the hatred and fear an outsider would face is disconcertingly palpable...

Answer 5

Racism is taught - and I don't mean by the education system. It starts at home. Babies are not born racist. They are born to racists. Eliminating racism starts with YOU.
Throughout history there is documented proof of racism as far back as we know. There will always be a multitude of nationalities and cultures. Accept them and move on. Our world is all about diversity. No one is better than anyone else.

Answer 6

Education

Answer 7

The best way to help eliminate racisim is to start teaching children that everyone is a person and not to judge by the color of someone's skin or the way that they look. Parents are the ones that keep bad habits going throughout generations. Break the cycle and things will get better!

Answer 8

Theres no real way to completely eliminate racism unfortunately. It has to start with yourself. As long as you treat all people as equals without considering what they look like or sound like or where theyr from, you set an example for all others.

Answer 9

Racism is simply a fact of life. That is not to say that I don't wish to see it eliminated or work progressively toward changing people's views about race. However every group in history has some other group of people that they felt were inferior. White people discriminate against black people, black people discriminate against Mexican people, etc. Racism really has more to with socioeconomic status than the color of their skin. White people discriminate against poor white people, viewing them as "white trash."

Answer 10

Racism is a two way street. You can't like someone if they openly display contempt of you. The only way to tame down racism is for people of ALL RACES to bury the hatchet. I doubt
if this will ever happen, but it would sure be welcome.

Answer 11

Delete the word 'race' from your memory, consider it only for that 'get set go thing', i mean.
Consider yourself an Earthian first, rather than a native of any particular part of the world or country.
