Do you think you are becoming racist... Due to terrorism?

Question

I am NOT I repeat NOT a racist person. But I am finding it more and more difficult to not be racist when I see what is happening in the world today. I would just like your opinion. Do you think you are becoming more racist? By Dean C

My answer to his ignorance..

the road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers, someone else is judging you..
What do you know about Diana’s death??!!!..
What do you know about the IRA??!!!..
What do you know about “Braveheart”… etc??!!!..

Before you ask a question like this look at it from a wider angle, from all aspects of life.
Why there is terrorism??.. What’s motivate a terrorist to become a terrorist??
How can we all cooperate to vanish terrorism completely from the face of the earth.. If so, is it possible?? If any body became a racist, is this going to solve a problem or just make it worse.??!! What can you say about what is happening in IRAQ, LEBANON, PHALASTINE… etc?? At last but never the least whom to blame and why??..

Facts
Muslims are immigrating in a none Muslim countries do to the pressure from the none Muslim countries that they put on the Muslim countries.. And they say live and let live.

From the beginning of the universe humans are fighting each other for good or bad reasons or whatever, and in every conflict many innocents pay the ultimate price. Conflicts will never ever end while there is something called humans existing on the face of the universe.. So my dear if you think racism will solve the problem be my guest.

Answer 1

yes, most definitely. Political correctness and human rights will end up being our downfall. We're too scared to stick up for ourselves for fear of being called racist yet terrorist are determined to tell us what they think of us and don't care who they offend (it's there human right because they are the minority here)....why are they living in our countries then. To slowly wipe us out? ....and we're too politically correct to prevent this from happening. How long is it going to take for us to realise?

Answer 2

You are manipulated !!!

Really, investigate, it is pretty easy do manipulate citizen whn you expose them to dangers, and telling them they are attaqued, no?

Bush is Knight Of Eulogia,
Blair, is Knight of Maltha,

They are the Illuminatis, and they own you,
This is the New World Order, and it is your future if the world don't wake up :

And this is what Bush’s minions had to say in 2000;-
"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor"
Project for the New American Century (2000)

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Göring(Nazi) 1946 Nuremberg Trials

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller: Statement to the Untied Nations Business Council in September 1994

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with other around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefellers memoirs (2002)

Answer 3

No, I think just the opposite but I can understand your point. I can't imagine what it must have been like in WW II because if you look at the films, the newspapers and the posters from that time it was no holds barred. I guess when and if we do go to war against another nation both sides show how racist they can become. The conflicts we are involved are not the same as WW II in my opinion. I have faith in a higer power but I am also not naive and can understand because in my life I have felt hate against individuals who have crossed me, that in itself does not make the hate that I felt justified. I'm sure if someone in my family was hurt or killed during any conflict I could learn to despise another group. This really is a good question and it is interesting reading all the answers.

Answer 4

there are so many levels of racism but do gooders are very quick to label you racist if you open your mouth at all.

For example, i like and am comfortable with Chinese, African, Filipino, Japanese etc etc coming to my country because they do not pose a threat, and quite often make a positive influence on the country. However, at the moment I would not be comfortable getting on a plane with anyone who looks like a Muslim. This is not my fault but the fault of the terrorists who themselves breed more racism by their actions. And yet many people out there will label me as a racist because of this. I don't care because my children come first and foremost to me and if a little racism protects them then so be it.

I should point out as well that 10 or 20 years ago if I had went to England with a Northern Ireland accent I too would have been treated with the same cautiousness. This is understandable as racism comes about purely as a result of fear. If the fear stops so too should the racism. Therefore if the Muslim fanatics can prove that they are no longer a threat then maybe their communities will not be treated with hostility.

Answer 5

I had exactly this discussion with my husband a couple of days ago because it bothered me the way I was thinking. I have always believed that we should accept everyone, regardless of their culture or the colour of their skin. But I can understand now where racism springs from and I have to confess that I have been feeling in a racist way since the terrorism, particularly as some of those arrested on suspicion were born in Britain. What right have they to do what they are doing yet use all that Britain offers them? I do not like feeling this way but I understand where you are coming from. It also goes beyond terrorism to murders too as the majority who commit them are of ethnic origin. I don't know at the moment how we get over feeling like this.

Answer 6

Personally i don't think i am becoming more racist with the current terrorism about.

I don't why people become racists, perhaps people like to blame others and vent their own anger, hate and frustrations with themselves/ lives onto others.

Also, if there is an existing culture of racism in certain areas, it is likely these people will pass their own ideals onto their children/ friends.

Also, if someone feels relatively unimportant but then gains warped respect from fellow rascists, it encourages them in their own little mini-world.

My worst experience with rascism was when children under 10 were running around saying "vote the packys out" in the last council election when the BNP gained popularity.

the most frustrating thing is when racsists are far worse than the people they are having a go at, they will attack a person for the colour of their skin and think they're better than them and then go and beat someone up or steal their car.

Answer 7

Again I repeat when in Rome do as the Romans do. If you have the chance of living in other peoples countriesits usually brought about because the new country is better, maybe work or for whatever reason, accept it as it is don't try to change it. No one asked you to come or prevented it so why not just accept the better conditions and live with them. If you prefer the life you had then go back there and that does include me. I think people should be able to live where they like provided they don't interfere with other people or try to change them. I read and listen to dozens of people talking about what they do or don't do for this or that ethnic group, most don't want you there making them feel like spongers all they want is friendship.

Answer 8

No, although whenever there is a terrorist action, my first assumption is that they are from a Muslim nation. Note i said from a Muslim nation, and not a Muslim as a true muslims beliefs would not allow that person to be a terrorist.

This opinion is based experience and is as a result of the conflict that exists between USA & UK and certain Middle Eastern Nations.

Answer 9

I don't care whether people think I'm racist or not. All I know is that there are certain people who have made this country their own because they couldn't stand living in their own any more, and then their offspring start trying to tell ME what to do and start threatening me with robbery, violence and other forms of terrorism, and I'm not prepared to accept that sort of behaviour from ANYBODY in MY country. Don't give me the usual load of old bollox about "they were born here so they're as English as you" because it just doesn't wash. They might have been born here but they STILL BEHAVE AS THOUGH THEY'RE IN THEIR MOTHER COUNTRY, AND THAT AIN'T MINE. If they don't like it here, with all of the benefits this country brings to them, let them go back to their land of whatever it is they think is so wonderful. Then we could all get on with our lives without the fear of being blown up by some religious maniac. A dog born in a stable is still a dog, not a horse. Think about it.

Answer 10

I was stunned around 18 months ago when i was listening to a local radio station and a man phoned in to say he was worried that British born muslims etc would turn against us if it came to war, that although they choose to live amongest us if it came down to it they would support the countries of their religon and ancestry,the dj slated this man live for being a rascist. This is no word of a lie the next day he publicly apologised to the man, he'd been unindated with calls from people saying of course the man was right at least half of the 2500 calls had been from ethnic minorities, frightening isn't it!

Answer 11

The problem with this perspective is that it leads to more segregation and more conflict, it's a vicious circle, if not downward spiral. Tony Benn once rightly observed that when there are periods of conflict, people move to the right, they become more nationalistic. It is precisely this mindset that will create more bloodshed and social unrest. That's why racism, on both, or any sides of a conflict, is so destructive. The most dangerous weapon is not a missile, it is our prejudices.
