I do at some instances,but I've encountered a lot more racism on this site than I actually have in the world, I guess some people on here are more relaxed and comfortable with saying how the truly feel about another race because they do not fear they can be attacked or chastised in their personal life.

Anyone with a pulse! It's fine to pretend there have been vast improvements in human relations but face it ~ watchin da news?
You don't need to know how to read to see that the wholesale destruction of each other has been improved from sticks to guns & rockets. Wotz a dirty look from a disgruntled store employee gonna git ya? An opportunity to CLAIM 'racist' discrimination? The degree of racisum is far more significant than most care to admit. Be honest, don't you like 'yer kind' just a little better dan 'dat kine'? Even though it could be more broadly based on 'type' rather than 'race', we ALL discriminate & have been taught that discrimination is equated with elite, tasteful & discerning. It's as thick as a brick & 'race relations' have hardly been out of the box for 20 years! It's a brand new concept to millions & unheard of by billions! This is the kind of question which begs pages & volumes of answers. Short answer: EVERYBODY!

I assume you meant "racism".

The basis of racism is fear of differences and the generalizations we make about people that are different from us.

The origins of racism are deep in the emotional roots of our culture.

My father was very prejudiced toward black people and I was exposed to it from an early age. My mother was more tolerant and her attitude acted to counterbalance my Dad's.

So, at the "head" level, I grew up understanding that blacks were not the bad/stupid people that my Dad believed them to be. But racial prejudice is something which lodges in the heart.

So whenever I encounter an instance where a black person (and it can be in the media or in "real life") does something I don't approve of, the voice of my father's prejudice speaks again.

And my head has to battle to treat the black person as I would a white person.

The strongest awakening I have ever had concerning this was when I dated a black woman in my younger days.

All of a sudden, I started looking at African-American persons as people rather than as the stereotypes which my father viewed them (and which to a certain extent I had bought into).

I have come a long way, I think.

But people should understand that racism is in the heart and, I believe, try as one might, it never quite can be evicted.

The differences are always there for us to see.

And I take extra care to view all people as worthy of respect, and when I encounter a person of color, I usually go overboard to be kind and respectful.

Actions which might also be considered racist, if you think about it.

I believe that one must always remember, that racism is not exclusively the realm of white folks toward black folks.

That road travels in many directions.

Peace.

Racism is in todays society and will remain in society for centuries to come for several reasons.
The ones who feel they are discriminated against are the most racists themselfs.

I unfortunately think that racism still exists today. It's not something people will display like they once did but it still lurks in the dark.

Of course it is, you can try all of the social experiments that you want but at the end of the day it boils down to Dogs & Cats.

well of course, people of ALL races can be racsists.

is it NECESSARY to completely remove a way of thinking from people's minds in order for a society to recognize what's right and wrong?

of course it is and getting worse. My dau was beat up for telling blacks in her math class to stop using the N word (she had counted up to 100 times in 1.5 hours). They called her evyer racist name they could have and thought it was big fun to beat the white bit*ch up.
