how do you help others overcome the ignorance of racisim , and see past the color of someones skin?

Answer 1

They need to be better informed and enlightened.

Answer 2

You cannot see past the color of the skin. Probably the first thing you notice. It should not make a difference, but to some ignorant people, it does. I believe when you meet someone for the first time, it runs like this:

Color
Sex
General appearance

To a normal(?) person color, sex, and appearance do not matter. To others, one, two, or all matter.

Answer 3

Set a proper example by living a Godly lifestyle. If you put Jesus first in your life people will focus on this and not the color of your skin. They will see the spiritual beauty that is within you, and it will not make any difference to them what race or racial mixture that you belong to. You will look on the outside what you are on the inside. You cannot hide your spiritual self from anyone. Your physical self cannot disguise the spiritual self. Jesus loves you.

Answer 4

It's not your job to change people. Simply continue to show the world that racisim... that all the "-isim's" are simply not "the way" by living a good and productive life where everyone is treated with respect.

Answer 5

I have learned that you cannot help someone overcome the ignorance of racism unless they themselves are willing to learn. If the individual doesn't care much for another history lesson, or is so arrogant and close minded that they are unwilling to have an exchange of ideas then you can do nothing for them. We cannot change peoples minds, they have to do that for themselves.

Answer 6

i wish i knew - you cannot open everyones eyes - but you can remind people that children are children and people are people - and there are bad people in every skin color and every country - just look at serial killers - and rapists - there is no discrimination on the bad one -
same for the good - look at the great people of the world - every race - color - religion

i applaud you for hating racism - keep up the good work - speaking for what is right

Answer 7

By acknowledging that God created them the way they are and that no one is perfect. We are all created equal and we are all sinners. Jesus said that if you acknowledge you are a sinner and repent of your sins and put your trust in him, that he will not only forgive you of your sins. But he will grant you eternal life with true peace, joy, wisdom, and knowledge here on earth and many other blessings. So just tell them about the love of Christ and that he wants to fix every area in their life and restore the brokenness in their spirit.

Answer 8

I have a question in vote right now like this. It's so ignorant that people can't get past race. White people can't dance, Black people are dumb, Muslim people are killers, it's no wonder there's so much hate in the world.

Answer 9

ask them "how do you know what that person is like if you refuse to talk to them? the person could be really nice. why does skin color matter so much anyway? it's not what's on the outside that matters, it's what's on the INSIDE.
hope this helps.

pluck out their eyes or let things heal over time. or speed it up by killing the Aryan Brotherhood types and the Black Panthers. you could put em all in the same room, and the ones that came out would be charged with murder.

Answer 11

Wait for their generation to die out. That's what we're doing with Baby Boomers.
