people are raciest mainly because of teaching not tradition!
For instance, The North and the South Fought over 140 years ago, most people will tell you that the south were slave drivers, and ***** haters. But on the real side of life it wasn't that way at all, The South loved there black folks. They were family. Yet our school text books write just the opposite. Look up a book in print called " the south was right" once you can see that our US Government is trying to feed its people lies, you'll understand were racism is coming from. It makes the winner look good.
Robert E. Lee Confederate general, slave owner, released his slaves before the war was even over
U.S. Grant Union general, Future President of the US, Slave owner Didn't give his slaves up untill after the war
LAND not slaves! This was what the war was about.
But the Government would have you to believe a lie
"THE WINNER WRITES THE BOOK" It's being tought in our schools

i wish that someone had the answer to that, kinda like what came first the chicken or the egg. I am a white female, I was born and raised in New Orleans and I do not see color. I love black people just as I love the white people in my life. I dont think of anyone as good or bad because of color, only the personal characteristics define who they are to me. I cannot stand prejudice people or racist people. I cannot stand people who teach their children to be racist, either. I think it is a personal choice for everyone, and I wish it would just disappear.

Because some people don't swallow that government bullshit about everyone being equal. Some of us have seen with our own eyes what the truth is.
The rest of you parrot whatever bollocks the media fills you with. My race is not like any other, nor is yours. Be proud of what you are by all means, but don't tell me my race means nothing because we are all the same. We are not.

People are racist because that is how humans are. Go to the Museum of Tolerance. Everyone is a racist. We all have it in us to be racist. If some one within another race does something stupid, it is in our nature to blame that whole race for the one little problem.

Ummm, do you mean "racist"? If not, I'd venture to guess they are "raciest" because it is fun to drive really fast.

The term you are referring to is not "raciest". It is "racist", and "SO racist"? Is it possible to be just "racist"? And what is wrong with being racist? Being racist has probably protected many people from blending with "the wrong people".

I knew I'd find you today! Oh no, it's the attack of the stereotype monster! I know you've noticed this, but not everyone is racist. But, in answer to your question, I think alot of racist people have low self-esteem, or feel threatened or otherwise inferior.
