Is it possible to have an honest discussion about race in America? If so, how can we start? If not, why not?

Answer 1

The only way to go about this is to first acknowledge that racism is NOT a problem of education, society, religion, or any other system within our culture. Instead, it is a problem with quality of consciousness. If more people of all races would simply take the time to KNOW themselves first, and open their hearts to a greater reality, then the quality of consciousness would expand on a larger scale and only then can we have an honest discussion about race in America. Wake up and smell the international coffee, people. It's time we live as a human family, along with all the love and dysfunction that all healthy families endure.

Answer 2

NO NO NO. Because the liberal media only will allow discussion that has to do with minorities being victims. Any discussion about minorities taking on some responsibility for themselves goes against the grain. Look at Bill Cosby and the honest statements he made about black folks. One thing he said was that many black parents will spend $100's of dollars on their kids tennis shoes and have zero in the bank for them for college. He was blasted for being honest.

Answer 3

How about we end the Hate crime laws, don't pay african americans money for something our ancestors may or have may not have done (some people forget many of white americans' ancestors came over to america quite recently).

End colleges devoted to only one race. WE should stop trying to divide us into different groups. Another goal would be to get rid of BET. No more divisions.

My problem with the left is that I am afriad they want to make things like racism illegal.That would go against everything US stands for. In european countries you can't say racist things. I don't want US to be that

Answer 4

Easy. Gather a group of people, then agree upon the truth that there are geneticly-induced correlations between certain races and subraces, and traits such as intelligence and character. If anyone tries to disrupt the truth by stating that race is a 'social construct' or that racial differences in intelligence and character are due to the environment, or that all members of certain macroraces are invariably superior to all members of certain other macroraces, or that a god favors one race over another, then just torture such truth-disrupting people for a while, then execute them... and record the physical racial traits of the executed people, so as to gather more racial data. Then, the remaining people can make scientific progress.

Answer 5

Not on the internet. There is too much rampant ignorance, and the internet is a good place to hide your face and spurt whatever uneducated garbage you want. It would have to be face to face with intelligent, open minded people. Then again, if there were many of those types of people we probably would've already had that discussion.

Answer 6

I am white and dating a black guy. We have been forced to talk about race at times. However, most of Americans seem to have trouble with doing this. We all need to learn that being called "white" or "black" is NOT an insult. It is beautiful to be different.

Answer 7

What are u going to discuss?

I think before any discussion the people who is going to be involved in that needs to realize that in US there are many races, and US is based on inmigrant, is the land of inmigrant people.

Answer 8

I dont know if people can ever have a discussion about race. You would be too worried about being 'politically correct'.

Answer 9

I'm a quarter white, quarter native American with the other half being Jewish. I grew up in Europe.
My white bread instincts tell me that my people need to admit that racism still exists in the modern world in America.

Answer 10

i imagine that folk see issues in accordance to what they're, what's discrimination to at least one team is should be considered as preferential clinical care in yet another team. Its continuously in touch me that white human beings do not imagine about their colour. even as black human beings are continuously attentive to it. that is going to impression the way issues are considered. an trustworthy talk about race should be particularly rude, as i quite imagine maximum folk of white human beings are not all that fascinated in the slave history of Blacks in this u . s . a ., and that is an significant cultural experience of their truth. As to inequality, its a difficult international available, for whites, blacks, browns and the different colour you are able to imagine of, the in basic terms equality is sweat and exertions, affirmative action, at this aspect, is taken under consideration as an party of that preferential clinical care, one which no different minority has requested for or received.
