Racism is a result of ignorance and hate.
Since when did racism apply only to blacks?
When did blacks all of a sudden become the only racists?
Racism is also a LEARNED behavior, you know.............

Well I would think whites should have been thanking them for doing all that free labor. It seems as unbelievable to me as us celebrating Thanksgiving.
I feel however, forgiveness on all sides is essential.
It is the American condition and we need medicine to cure it. Unfortunately medicine prices are high.
As far as entering our country, black people didn't exactly come to this society willingly. They were brought here in chains. I can't begin to comprehend why they were so mistreated.
I realize slavery happened in the past and cannot be changed. However the past tends to repeat itself,and is now in the form of racism. No one seems to have clued in those people about the constitution.
I mean, I'm surprised we haven't picked on elderly people in this country.(well there is that medicine thing).
I feel we need a doctor by the name of Jesus Christ.
And by the way, I have suspicion he's not white.

I'd be more inclined to believe the notion that whites inflict racist attitudes and behaviors on every culture which is not like their own. As far as blacks entering a new society, if my history is correct my ancestors were dragged here by a bunch of inhumane lunatics looking to make a quick buck. I would examine all sides of an issue before asking a question as ignorant as the one you have posed.

First off racism is not exclusive to blacks. Racism is taught, therefore I believe it's the result of conditioning. Racism usually is most prevalent amongst uneducated and closed minded individuals.

Racism is a predjudice that occurs wherever and whenever there is a mixing of appearances, cultures and ideas, and it is present in all groups of people. There is a high level of culture clash in America because we are always surrounded and joined by so many different kinds of people.

Racism exists all over the world, not just in america. people of other countries that are predominantly one race such as china may not be used to seeing a person of another color or culture. therefore, they may be ignorant to knowing how you are. not only blacks are discriminated against, but many people view blacks stereotypically, as bad and '''murderous'' as the way we are portrayed. therefore, it developes a sense of fear in others and inferiority which causes them to become prejudice before they even know the truth.

Racism is not exclusive to America, it's world wide ignorance. People think they're so advanced, but we could take lessons from animals of all colors that live in harmony.

Racism is a human condition, I've lived in neighborhoods as the only white guy and any person of color who says they cant be racist is full of it. Racists just like Nigs, spics, and crackers come in all shapes colors and sizes

1) Racism isn't only about blacks. My Asian mother has had problems with it.
2) Any culture that is different from another is likely to have problems when they are a visible minority.

Racism is taught.
Racism is all over the world and not against just one race but many.
That's a sad fact of life.
