we all came to this earth with no bad intentions, as the saying goes an infant's heart is like a white cloth.
then we mix around with other ppl, and if we get into the wrong groups, we get stained by racist remarks and vulgarism.
Sometimes this could even happen right at home, our parents and how we are being brought up.
As an infant we pick up and learn words more quickly then as we grow older we have programmed ourselves indirectly to be a racist.
But that can be changed, b'cause when we r older we can make more logical decisions. Sadly most ppl don't!!
This is what labels them as racist for life.
either way its a really really bad thing to be in OR doing...
keep away from racism or anyone u suspect is a racist..u'll feel them a mile away...

If someone says they are racist then they are definitely racist. Look at any type of white supremacy group they are racist and they're proud of it. I think what you're trying to get at is that if a person admits that they are racist then that may mean that they acknowledge it and hence they are not racist. However this type of reasoning doesn't work because acknowledging that you have a problem doesn't mean that you've also found a solution for it.

People are not always honest about this, but generally it is more acceptable not to be racist, so if there is covering up to be done, that would be the direction it is most likely to go.
But I have noticed that in Answers, specifically, people sometimes say outrageous things and forget that a vocal tone of sarcasm is missing, so people cannot always tell when you are mocking and when you are serious. Jesters, you need to add "LOL" or "LMAO" so the innocents of the world will know you are kidding.

Most people are not racist... Racism is a learned Behavior.
