STOP RASISM!!!! what do you think??

Question

just wondering wat u think about rasism

Answer 1

yes stop it.

Answer 2

I have never heard the word rasism - but as rase is to flatten to the ground, I would think that rasism is wanting to do this to all buildings!

I agree that racism is wrong, and agree that we should not discriminate against people because of their race, religion, creed or disability - but nor should we allow others to discriminate on any of these grounds.

Have you heard about the couple who booked to have their wedding reception at Alton Towers? They chose this venue because it was suitable for all the family and thought it would make a memorable wedding. Unfortunately they have been told they cannot go on mixed rides (meaning the bride and groom cannot go on anything together), they cannot be served alcohol and they have been told to alter the food they had ordered. Why? Because, after they booked the reception, a Moslem organisation booked in and all the meals served have to be halal, there can be no alcohol and all the rides will be single sex!

Things like that do not help people to be anti-racist - sometimes it all seems to be one way!

Answer 3

Racism is a very touchy subject for some, as issues concerning free speech and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights come into play. Some people argue that it is just words. Others point out that these words can lead to some very dire and serious consequences (World War II being an example.)

Racism is a danger which has plagued America throughout it's existence as a nation. In years following the heyday of the Civil Rights movement of the 60's this danger has both increased and receded. Many pundits have offered their opinions, explanations and accusations.

But where has this really left us?

Few persons since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. have offered a clear path toward a resounding resolution to this issue which can be readily embraced by all concerned. Would Dr King have supported Affirmative Action? Some say that his call to judge by the "content of ones character" indicates that he would not, but scholars who've researched his comments on the issue indicate that he would. Are those who oppose the continuance of Affirmative Action the modern equivalent of the 60's racist, as has been contended by noted activist Julian Bond - or do organizations such as the NAACP, where Bond is chairman, signify the face of modern racism with it's clearly race based (Where 'CP' equals "colored people") point of view?

Or are none of these people "racist" at all, but merely attempting to solve the same problem using different means?

Many questions need to be answered ... this work is my attempt to answer them as best I can from my own humble perspective and experiences.



What is a Racist?
There can be many answers to this question, and many different types of racists.

Type #1 The Haters.
The prototypical racist is one who expresses fear, loathing and hatred for persons who are of a particular race or ethnic background. These are most often the people who come to mind when the term "racist" is applied. Persons who during the "golden era" of the Civil Rights movement where embodied by the KKK, corrupt law enforcement such as Sheriff Bull Connor whose force to quell peaceful protests, or Alabama Governor George Wallace who authorized such use of force and once proclaimed "Segregation Forever".

But is this truly an accurate picture of the perspective of these people? Are they simply hateful and nothing more?

The modern equivalent to the KKK of old continues to exist and to expose their point of view. Former grand wizard David Duke has created the "National Association for the Advancement of White People" or NAAWP. But supplanting the KKK has also come a new breed.

Answer 4

Rasism doesn't effect me whatsoever, I think I'm cool with it. However, don't even get me started on racism! That stuff's gotta stop!

Answer 5

I have no feelings on rasism, 'cause I don't know what that is. But racism pretty much sucks the big one.

Answer 6

"Racism"

Racism is a very general term, some are slighly racsist, some are extreme.

Most people have this tendency to be discriminating in many forms against other nationalities. Based from past experiences, studies, or environmental influences.

It is an act of condemnation which is unexceptable at any degree. For we are all born from mothers not of our choice. We are not to blame, but to love.

Answer 7

Racism, has been around longer since any of us were born. It seems to be a never ending cycle, and anyone can fall into it's trap, whether they wanted to or not. Watch the movie Crash and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Answer 8

You'll never get a sensible discussion on racism, it too plitical.

I have a preference for the white races on the basis that I'm white and I'm more at home with my own sort.

Answer 9

You can try as hard as you want to stop racism.
But as long as humans exist, there will be racism.
It's like AIDS you can't stop it from spreading.
It's part of who people are.
And it's not going anywhere.
No matter who tries to stop it.

Answer 10

why don't you spell it correctly?
racism. .

racism will stop on its own when all the races of the world mix together. People choose to be racist because of a cognizent ignorance. Most white people are not racist, even in the south. Most black people are not racist. The few who choose otherwise are a lag on society.

Answer 11

I LOVE RASISM!!!

Racism, on the otherhand, isn't much fun.
