Even though people dont show it, we're all racist because its human nature to feel more pride in one's race

Question

by thinking of our race as superior to another's. My question is what percentage of people are actually closet biggots?

Answer 1

What does this have to do with being gay?

Answer 2

1. I agree with Princess, what has this to do with LGBT?
2. I don't agree with you that there is more than one race, I think we are all the same race, Human. I know as a Historian that the idea of racial inequality originated with the Christians. The idea of slave trading based on skin color goes back to the Papal Bull of 1455, the Romanos Pontifex, which authorized the conquest and enslavement of all people south of Cape Bojador. Look it up. If that makes me a closet bigot, so be it.

Answer 3

oftentimes. you would be surrounded by capacity of persons who're there with you bodily, in spite of the indisputable fact that it incredibly is all on the subject of ways you your self experience interior, and loneliness can nevertheless be felt, even while in company. I oftentimes experience this way, as I suffered from melancholy and rigidity for some years, and no remember what share people have been with me - kinfolk, acquaintances - I nevertheless felt miserably lonely and remoted from everybody and each little thing, because it incredibly is not any longer common for others to truly 'get' somebody with melancholy and different psychological well being subject concerns. once you experience rather lonely and on my own interior, it incredibly is not any longer proper who's next to you, what they say to you.....it incredibly is in basic terms the way you experience. I additionally experience lonely with my problems too, and the concerns I even have approximately my existence customarily, like i'm thoroughly on my own with them, yet then i think of that isn't entirely unusual. many people experience that way each and every from time to time. wish you're ok nevertheless. :)

Answer 4

I guess we do stereotype which leads to feeling of being "better", but that comes with race, sex, class, but I think there are extremes that go too far for a cohesive society and RACE isn't the only factor, its ethnicity and class and social status and creed. So much of us is made up of so many aspects that to say its just race is highly ridiculous.

Answer 5

I disagree with your assertion that it's human nature to feel pride along racial lines.

There *is*, definitely, a need for humans to draw circles around groups of people, with themselves in the center of the circles. It's human nature to hold those in the innermost circles closer, to be more open to them then to those in further-out circles. It's human nature to want to succeed in whatever manner success is measured in our individual lives.

But it is most assuredly NOT human nature to classify people into further-out circles based entirely on what the other person's skin looks like. At least such is true in my life, among my friends.

Sadly, i'd guess there are more closet bigots then we care to know about. I mean--Mel Gibson? Who knew? How could we know?

But i do NOT believe that being racist is human nature.

Answer 6

I don't think I'm superior to anyone.
I only look at people as individuals, not groups.

I know what you're saying, though, and I bet it is quite common, but I have no idea about the percentage.

Answer 7

Yes , we all pull for the home team. I would guess at 75%. I do believe there are different levels of bigots . Some are annoyed , some want to do economic harm , and some want to do bodily harm . And all in different amounts of harm for different people.

Answer 8

Yes we are all predijudice to people with which we have things in common.

I like Scottish people more than I like turkish people. I like male company more than female company. I like tall people more than I like short people.

Yes I am racist and whatever else to suit my situation.

Answer 9
