It does not make since to hate a person because of the color of there skin, No one is better then anybody else. The people you hate will end up in your family.
If you have children and you teach them to hate they will turn on you and date that person.
In my family, we have white people, black people, puerto-ricans and some Indians and you know what I love all of them. I have children and I am not going to teach them to hate people because it is wrong and this nonsense has got to stop...

Most people are taught early to judge by looks. Racism isn't always what they judge by either. Fat people are judged. Skinny people are judged. People with tattoos are judged. Hell, even Christians are judged. It's just part of life. You can only teach your children not to be that way and make them aware that there are always people out there who will judge them, no matter what they do or say. You can never stop it. Look at the middle east - they've been fighting over religion for years because each judges their own religion to be superior. When you learn that there is no good or bad, right or wrong, there are only differences, then you become a better person.

Some people are racists because they have never had any association with anyone from any other race, and so they fear what is unfamiliar to them. Others react against different cultural practices that seem strange or frightening to them. Some have had a bad experience with one person in a race and apply that experience to all people with the same skin color. Others form their opinions from the news or from TV. Still others were taught to be racists by people they love and respect.
All racism comes from a lack of understanding and limited rational thinking. The best cure for it is for people to be exposed to good experiences with people of other races.

Some people are better than others. If you came to my house I wouldn't cut your head off, no matter who you were; but, if you went to some countries, they would cut your head off and torture and rape you. People should date their own race because culture clash is difficult for children to deal with. Also, there is a big problem between the races because we all act differently. Some groups, like blacks, can't get their act together and develop productive communities. On the other hand, the Chinese and Irish and other European groups came here and faced similar strife but quickly adapted to become productive members of society. Thus, white people seem to scorn the communities that are so disfunctional and vile. It is a weak arguement to say something cute like "racist people suck" or "why can't we just all get along." That is childhood thinking and is a very unrealistic proposal. It is in the nature of man to hate his fellow man and all we can do is fight for our own culture and ethnic group because we can't trust anyone else.

thats what the world is made up of. agree with you but . . .
its mostly the influence and as adults we tend to judge of what we see and know. sometimes it the "
doing' which is proven and some rotten apples will spoilt the rest.
have you ever observed how children get along even at the 1st second they met? so pure and ininnocent for adults it would be rtranslated to ignorant or being hypocrite?
that the world we live in.

People are usually racist because of their parents or whoever raised them. You aren't BORN with prejudice, you get it from your guardian because you are taught whats right and wrong from them. I'm not saying racism is right, but the people who think it is teach their kids and some of the kids turn out racists. It's sad, really.

I think some people learn it in school too like from their friends not just their parents. I hate racist people so at least you know there are just as many non racists as racists. Peace, love and happiness is what I want..and all the racists are just haters and really ignorant....

Because parents keep passing racism on like a gene. Kids aren't born racist.
