NO.
prejudice yes.
racist no.
those are two different things.
are you trying to justify your racism?
and you can't be racist against a gay or autistic person.
those are not races.
a racist hates a person because of their race not sexuallity or disorder.
sure i hate the terroirist that were involved with 911 but do i hate all arabs?
no.
how can i?
all arabs were not on the plane on 9 11.
that's stupid.
do i hate the whites that enslaved my ancestors?
yes.
do i hate all whites?
no.
not all white people were involved with slavery.
get it?
i just thank god i'm not narrowminded and group people together.
it's reaaly ignorant to be that way.
being prejudice is too but racism is worst.
i can look at a white person and think:oh he probably listens to marilyn manson(THAT'S PREDJUDICE)
or i can look at a white person and think:that dumb privilidged h-word.i hate that cr**ker!!(THAT'S RACISM)
see the difference?

I think everyone is prejudice in their own way but not racist.
I don't think they honestly try and be, but circumstance, stereotyping, and life in general sometimes cause us to think certain ways.
Me and some of my white, black, and hispanic friends discussed this before. We talked about certain situation that you may have been involved in and the first thing that came to mind was the person race. It's not that any of us even wanted to think that way, it's just that you can't live without any type of prejudice when you are living in a prejudice society... It's hard to look pass difference when you don't understand everything about them. That's why we need education about all cultures in schools and homes. I would never hate a person because of race, but I have been cautious at times to protect myself from the unknown...
It doesn't make it right, but we are all human.
This is something me and my friends did that started the discussion. We were talking about the News and how they portray people. We named a crime and we had to take a guess what race committed it. It opened our eyes as to how we viewed each and the sterotyping that we all claim we wouldn't follow but subconsciouly we saw some of our own prejudice. We even learned that we sterotyped ourselves because most saidd the same thing. The questions were the ones below and the answers that we got.
Drug dealer? Black (After discussion we came to the conclusion the the biggest drug dealer is the government)
Serial Killer? white (We had a long discussion about the black male snipers a few years ago)
Stabbing? hispanic (We looked up the statitics and mostly white males killing their wives)
Meth lab? White (learned that it's booming in the hispanic community)
Rapist? hispanic (Pretty much equal in all races, but we did discuss how women are thought of much in this equation, but there is a large number of women pedophiles)
Prositute? black (We found that the largest number of prostitutes were white females and males)
So in the words of Malcolm X "Education is the passport to the future and tommorrow belongs to those of us who prepare today"
Don't be afraid to have racial discussion with your friends if you can't alk about it with someone you trust, who can you talk to about????

not everyone, i honestly could care less what race a person was, all i care is that the person is a good person.
i never really understood why people are racist, i dont really think that if someone is of a certain race they are inferior to me, i dont even consider myself superior to people, there are people who are far more talented in other things then i am, im very good at astronomy and science.

fairly. it fairly is not any distinctive from white people who say "i'm no longer racist, my suited pal is black." they say that while they understand they have screwed up and reported some thing offensive in the direction of blacks. the persons who deny being racist the main vehemently are in all probability racist.

I don't judge people on WHAT they are, but on who they are. I don't care if I met a 72 year old Israeli jew that is a lesbian, I would still love her if she was a 25 year old hot italian man.

Everyone is to a certain degree whether they admit it or not whether it be against a certain class, race, or religion. It is not something to be proud of & regardless of our feelings we still need to try to treat each other with as much respect as possible.
I personally do not want to date anyone outside my own race, though I do not have a problem with others doing so.

Ignorant people, idiots, stupid people, generally dumb people.
All of which trancend the boundaries of race, so you can't say I'm racist. I hate all idiots equally.

yes.. its impossible not to be racist against something/someone.
imagine if you called yourself not racist... you'd be so bored with your life, not to mention dishonest
