Why would it be racism? If you're referring to the way that some people burn crosses, that really has nothing to do with the Christian faith. That's a practice that started almost 1500 years after Jesus died on the cross.
I think it's a unique way to symbolize a unique death, a death that changed the world - a resurrection that gave it hope.

western gov think that wearing hijab is a kind of racism ,but don't look in the same way about wearing cross
very biased and double standard but i think ppl should practice their beliefs without any restrictions on them
ppl should be able to wear what they wanna wear whether it was hijab, cross or whatever

I don't wear a corss necklass cause Jesus isn't there no more. I do not have pictures of him on my wall cause that to me is just some man who posed for the picture. I don't feel its racism, but I feel people should really think about why they wear them or why they even have pictures that is suppose to be him.

It's not racism. It's the same as wearing a rolling stones T-Shirt or something, it's just showing were your at.

To many, a cross is just an ornament. My wife and I are non-believers, but she likes jewelry. If a piece of jewelry catches her eye, she'll buy and wear it, whatever the shape.

I'm Christian, but I don't wear a cross. I want to remember my Savior when rising from the dead, not what He was attached to when He gave up His life.

No, the cross is a symbol of Christianity.

why would it be racism? Would wearing the Star of David be racism? What about the vials? Why would any of these be racism?

How is it racist? The cross symbolizes the price that was paid for my healing, my sins, and my eternity. it is a reminder to the wearer of these things, not a division created to isolate.
