I agree.
White people have no reason to feel superior. They started out from caves and tunnels like everybody else. They are still born like everybody else, and die like everybody else.
They forget that all people are the same, while in fact all people are equal and should be treated that way.

Is anybody even sure that their was a white person alive that long ago? (Oops retorical there) I was under the impression that their were only black people at the start of the human race.

My answer to, "How can anyone be racist?" is DNA carries stupidity too! Recent scientific testing on DNA has revealed that I am far far more identical to a 100% black African man than I am to my own sister who has the same two parents as I do. If we are all 99.999% identical within a gender, then their is not much reason to quibble. Thats like $10 difference on a Million Dollars. Any statistics ever done fairly have shown that nothing important in life can be predicted by race or gender.

Just to be fairly clear here, a Racist is a person that believes their is a difference between people, and that the differences are important, and those differences are easily identified by skin pigment. Incredibly stupid! To believe any of that racist notion you must ignore all objective evidence, trust the rantings of a crazy person, and want it to be true. (e.g. "I'm not stupid white trash, I'm the master race.")

Bigot's on the other hand are like the rasists little league. These are the people that say,
"'s are lazy. I seen 'em down town just standin' around not looking for a job or nothin'."
The bigot's are typically saying that with a beer in hand and a front garden not weeded all season long, and the Christmass lights still hanging on the house in September. Ask that up'ity bigot some stories of their youth and you find they skipped school, terrorized neighborhoods, and didn't get a job till they stopped getting laid for free. Bigots are people that find a defect in some small sample of people and try to believe that it is true in all of that group of people, AND ignore that same defect appearing in their own particular group.

Bigots are just harrassers/bullies that try to feel better by putting others down, where Racists are Evil.

My final answer summarized;
Their weren't whites 4K years ago, we are just blacks that lost the pigment from living in the North for too long,
and racists are stupid.

You need to read biology book or something becuase that was the one of the most ignorant questions I've read so far.

Unless you believe in "adam & eve" (which is an impossible scenario, has been debunked by thousands of scientists/archeologists, and should not be taken as anything more than a metaphor) you'd probably know that humans have been around in their relatively current form since about 2 million years ago. 44 million years ago was when we were clearly diverging from apes.

Yes there was white people 4000 years ago and there was black people and there were asian people and there were mexican people and there were middle eastern people (they weren't as divergent yet though). YOUR forefathers no matter what 'race' (I use quotes because scientifically there is only one race, the human race) you are were "embarrassingly wild, naked, unintelligent and brutish." And yes they lived in caves.... is that a suprise to you?

All white people aren't racist. It seems to me like the only racist here is YOU.

Rasicm is a double edged sword. It works both ways and i think that perhaps this is a lil rascist against whites.
No "race" is superior to any other, we all share the same origins, we all share the same air we breath, we all share.
I am white and i feel pity for the insecure few who feel a need to fill the emtiness of their lives with rascist feelings. But the same social disease can also spread to non whites. Just look at Japan's actions in China during World War II, or look at the various faction fighting between South African tribes before the Dutch arrival and English domination. Rascism is a human disease, not a white invention. A disease of arrogance and fear and misunderstanding.

Ah. You found the mirror, good. Now get the colors and races straight. Yours were the ones running around naked in the heat...uncivilized, little if any technology, bordering on stone age. So shut up you racist freak.

Well, all origins (white, yellow, black, etc) on earth point to an African origin. This is where the oldest skeleton has been located. So- essentially, if you're mocking one race, you're making fun of them all. Doesn't really make much sense, but whatever turns you on.

For the same reason you are obviously racist even though your ancestors started out the exact same way. People are judgmental and racist by nature and learned behavior. As far as lying--well I think people of all races, can be liars--yep I think Lying is an equal opportunity offense.

I think racism is a idea that people get from other people of a different races actions. then we tend to think if one person of a certain race is like than then most of that race will be also. i believe that racism is a conscious decision people make about others before knowing them based on their skin color

White people lie? So do black people and brown and red and yellow people. Who cares about forefathers? Racism is about current statures and societal conditions, not where we came from.

That was completely racist remark because more of my black friends lie than my white friends. As for the history of it, Africans enslaved their own kind and sold them to the white man. And it is the white man who freed the black man in America. So do you trust your brother who sold you or the white man who freed you.
