I believe feelings of racism stem from feelings of inferiority within ourselves. If you really feel grounded within yourself, and truly believe God created us all, there's nothing to feel threatened about. The core of racism is when one group feels another group possesses something the other group lacks, be it their culture, their ethic history, physical attributes, blue toenails, whatever. A nasty human trait is the desire to destroy what we cannot be - or have.

Youmight see it as racism, but it could be other things. Like the young black man who's father left him, and now he hates all other black men.....Or there could be other reasons. I don't know. Sometimes it's a vibe you get off of another person. Doesn't have to be a social background thing, but more of a "I get a sense this person is playin' me" time of thing. Who can answer "Why"?

Because everyone just wants to be better than everyone else, so much so that it has nothing at all to do with racism. Terrible aint it? What can we do? Everyone's ruled by their selfish needs and earthly desires. oh well. Let's all try to make the world a better place by being nice to each other yah! :)

Because differences scare people. It is all on what you are conditioned to expect from different racial groups. Racism exists both directions, and is simply easier to see the differences between black and white.

i think it comes from how you were raised, as well as any experiances you've had with other races as you grow up. same as domestic violence, if you ar exposed to it as a child, chances are you will repeat the same activity. racism, violence, drug addiction etc. have no bearing on social background or satus. it takes astrong person to break that pattern they've been brought up under. in my opinion that is.

Ego exists in every individual, and they just find *differences* in every single thing they can to seperate and segregate. That's what an egocentric mind does unconsciously. These people are simply ignorant.

Because we are STUPID. And because cultures can be very different and some people do not like other peoples culture. Just my opinion.
