Why Are People Racist?

Answer 1

Very simply, it's what they are taught.

I am white, grew up in a white neighborhood, and went to an all white school. I would see people of different nationalities when we would go out, but I never, ever heard anything bad against anyone because of their color or nationality. My parents had nothing bad to say, and never made a distinction between us.

I still remember when I had a black girl in my class for the first time, I was fascinated by her ( I was in the seventh grade). She very interesting to talk to and I found she was just like me, just a different shade of color. So I never learned to hate, or be afraid of someone different than myself.

How horrible to go through a rose garden and only see red roses. Think of all we would miss!!!

Answer 2

Racism=the idea that one race is better than another

According to the OLD TESTAMENT God is racist. The bible is full of racism. The only reason God chose Noah to build the ark was that he was "perfect in all his generations" That means NO RACE MIXING. Isaac made his servant swear that he would not allow his son to marry a canaanite woman (black woman)

Now his son, Jesus Christ, was not racist at all. He loved all people regardless of race, color or creed.

So those who are in the old testament are racist.
Those who are in the New Testament are not racist.

Answer 3

What we are taught based on our history. We are showed salvery, war and hate from when we are young. Some are purposeful in thier teachings, others just develop a dislike based on the history.

Nothing like children, we had 8 kids, all different ethnicities and they had never heard of the bible, TV, McDonalds, slavery and they were just the most incredible kids. Artistic, fluent in social abiltiy and overall way way way more respectful of life and enjoying having fun. ages 7-15.

Just shows what you show your chldren at home, on TV, in books, resonates and builds the person the will become young.

Nazis suffer from the same condition with deeper rooted suppressed homosexual tendencies. This is why there uniforms are just so neat, tidy, and spiffy.

Answer 5

I truly have no idea why. It makes no sence at all to me. Why can't people be fair? Color of skin makes no difference, because we are all people, the same, and colored people have the rights to be treated the same as white people. I have 2 best friends who are colored. I don't care, I love them like sisters. I would like to know why some people have to be so unfair according to skin color, because everyone has equal rights.
