Is it wrong to hate racists?

Question

I am racist against racist people. I hate too, I hate the hate. I hate these stupid people, they are a disease. I don't care if the racists were born that way or if they chose it, it's all the same to me. They are the cause of every last one of this species' problems, of this planet's problems. I don't think there is a cure for their problem. They were given brains on accident, their existence is a mistake. Stupidity and racism cause all of the world's problems. It is the root of all that is wrong with this world. I don't mean stupid as in mentally retarded, I mean stupid as in hate-filled, intolerant, violent people that push their way of life on others and scapegoate others.

I want racist stupid people to die off, I want the law of natural selection to be imminently applied to these imbeciles. When I read the Darwin Awards, I laugh. I want the war in Iraq to go on forever, I don't want it to end. I want all of them to die. I want a racist holocaust. Is there something wrong with me?

Answer 1

No. You can go ahead and hate racists, they no doubt hate you. Sometimes when dealing with certain types of people with limited understanding you have to meet them on the field in a way that they understand. This is not a group that you can make fun of, or ridicule to show them how absurd their ideals are, you can only face them with their own ugliness.

Answer 2

You can't be racist against racist people. Racists can be from any race! Therefore its more of a sense of discrimination then anything, and racist people aren't BORN that way, you know. It was how they were taught; I was taught that people can have their opinions, but when it hurts somebody I care about, only then I can fight back.

Why would you want the war in Iraq to go on forever? That isn't racism, that's terrorism (I'm holding myself back from going on a tangent about this... grrrrrrrr)

Racist holocaust? Why? That makes you just as bad as them.

If you treat the bully like a bully, you become the bully. Have you ever figured that out? Sometimes I feel like there's something wrong with me, too. But it's more of a "I hate all guys, I hate them in general... what's wrong with me?" sort of thing. I just decided that, whatever, sure, if that's how I am. BUT I don't flaunt it, that's the key to all of it, really.

Hate is never much help. It damages the hater. One "feels bad", and that sensation can be made worse for people with ideas about "sin" and "wrong". Things are appropriate or inappropriate, and best dealt with on that basis. Sometimes what people call racism is no more than the distinction of cultural difference. There can quite appropriately be things in a different culture that we find repulsive - such as female circumcision, or the idea that women should not go outside unveiled to the fresh air, or without a male family member (what, in fear of their own delinquency, or others'), or that birth control should be avoided even though the population explosion bids to destroy most life on the planet - whilst people in those "other" cultures find things in our own to upset them. Ideaological missionaries are also suspect, after all - isn't it potentially a kind of imperialism? I suggest all we can do is to identify the particularities of what we call racism, that offend us, try to identify the basic underlying values which tie them together as repulsive or inappropriate in our minds - and then peacefully to discuss those things. When discussion is possible, of course! Discussing the existance or non-existance of God, and the different consequential conclusions drawn by the major religions, can be as difficult to discuss with the different kinds of Christians as with Muslims or anything else. So, we have ideaological equivalents of "racism", even in our own societies within which we feel comfortable enough! An Armageddon, or holocaust is not the answer - even if we owned it. There is certainly plenty to loath in human conduct, but we simply have to find the courage to continue as best we can, in communication.

Answer 4

Racism is a scapegoat. "Stupidity and racism" obviously don't "cause all of the world's problems." (What about envy, or greed?)

You say that intolerance is a type of stupidity, but the general tone of your comments is certainly not one of tolerance. You deserve to be commended for pointing out, albeit unintentionally, that "tolerance" is a two way street. The idea that "tolerance" is some type of virtue is true stupidity.

If I were to define you by the comments you've posted I would paraphrase your own words: "hate-filled, intolerant, [potentially] violent [person who pushes his] way of life on others and scapegoats others."

Were you are wrong is in imagining yourself to be so different from "racists." The question you should post is: "Should I hate myself because I'm a fascist?"

Answer 5

Its hard to except the fact that there are so many morons on this earth isn't it. I understand you point of view. I don't agree with it all, but understand where you're coming from. I love the Darwin Awards too and I wish I had a good answer for the problem (forced sterilization might be a good start!) but I don't. Just want to let you know your not alone.

Answer 6

certain! Hate is a maximum cancers. do not ever enable it take root. Takes too a lot means. you've extra acceptable outcomes once you concentration on replacing issues in a positive way. as a replace of hating racists, teach them incorrect and spread the theory that one and each and absolutely everyone should be equals. that is a miles extra acceptable feeling than railing adversarial to the way issues are :)

Answer 7

It is wrong to hate. It is also a waste of time and energy. Try putting forth your ideas in a more empowering and positive manner, which is something you did not mention in discussing your feelings. Don't let anything such as racism anger you to the point of inactivity... Anyone can complain, but a positive act can create change! Good luck!

Answer 8

It is wrong to hate any human being. It is not wrong to hate their behavior.

There is however nothing wrong with you, you are just directing your hatred to the people instead of the behavior. Nothing that a change of attitude would not cure.

Hate directed towards mankind is a real problem in this world and the root of many evils. it creates more problems and solves none.

Answer 9

WHOA dude, chill for a sec. I've hated people before but it made me sad. My policy isn't hating or ignoring or anything like that. I do what I can then move on. Bad people will get their just desserts. If you have a chance to do something about racist the do it, but don't obsess like this, you'll hurt yourself.
Peace,

Answer 10

i feel that folks can't be held responsible for things which they don't know or don't understand; therefore, i feel that people who express racist, bigoted, or stereotyped opinions are REALLY expressing their basic ignorance of other humans....
in this perspective (and i can only speak accurately about my own perspective here), i can't truly hate the biased people SIMPLY BECAUSE they don't understand some simple things.... the most i can do is to feel badly for them that they're missing out on so much love and good times, and do my best to educate them so that they can have some further understanding that will (hopefully) help them evolve from the dare-i-say primitive social state in which they're living....

love and peace for all
