Do you think we will see the end to Racism in our lifetime?

Question

Please no neggitive comments. Where do you think our world is going to stand on racism in the future? Do you ever think we will reach one solid ground as humans?

Answer 1

Not unless every human being is enlightened and educated. Even then it will be very difficult because men's hearts are wicked with covetousness, envy and jealousy.

Answer 2

There is only hope.

If mankind sticks around for another million years or so, I see that all nationalities will become blended in to one race. Now, that is just theory, theory and reality aren't the same thing. Sinse we can't see the future we can't know what will be.

The truest way for racism to end is to change the hearts and minds of all people. I personally haven't seen it happen in the past and I can't imagine it happening in the future. Because there is evil in the world I don't see racism ending.

Here is an interesting thought.....millions of years from now caucasions might be the minority living in a vast desert wasteland. While other parts of the earth flurish and thrive.
The earth is in a cycle.

p.s. The first answer here assumed something about African Americans. That is an assumption that raceism works one way.
I personally have experienced racism. Once in a school in chicago that was 99% Jewish. All of us that didn't fit the mold ate at the same lunch table. There were like three caucasions, two Asian, three blacks, etc. And we were all clumped in to one group. Even the teachers hated us.
Another time was when I lived in Denver in a mixed cultural school and inner city kids of all colors were bused in . I got kicked, beat up, abused etc because I was blonde. I was shy and lived in constant fear. My two brief experiences can't compare to another races life time of racism, I am just telling about them to help people realize that racism runs all directions.

God Bless us All

Answer 3

There is racism towards every race and religion, I wish people would get over it. It's amazing how ignorant and self - centered people can be. I wish I could say that we will someday reach one solid ground as humans, but I doubt it. All we can do as individuals is try to explain to people that no matter what race we're all human, and all humans are equal, even if some are nicer and more open-minded then others. If we're here when the world ends, then maybe they will realize their mistake in the last moment of life.

Answer 4

Yes and no. Racism, strictly defined, is a pseudo - scientific classification of "races" of humans designed to prove the INNATE superiority of one race (Caucasians) over all the others. With the exception of people on the extreme lunatic fringe, I think that idea of Racism is already gone. Peoples of races other than white have proved to most everyone's satisfaction that they can be equal to or better than whites in any intellectual field or any profession. And, in most western nations, no one is barred from attempting to enter any given school or profession because of race. However, racism, with a small "r", that people use as an inappropriate synonym for prejudice and bigotry will always be with us. As long as humans separate ourselves into groups, whether by language, skin color, religion or whatever, there will always be those people so insecure about the group they belong to that they will feel the need to denigrate the other groups.

Answer 5

No, that's like asking if we'll ever have total equality between the sexes.. It just can not happen in the society we've created. Blacks will always be darker than Whites. Asians eye's will always be smaller than an Indians. And those small insignificant differences are enough to differentiate us physically and with that comes a sense of fear of the unknown and the misunderstood and as we all know, fear gives way to hate and hate is the pinnacle of racism. It would be nice if we could all just get along but it simply won't happen because as a whole we aren't comfortable with things that don't fit with what we know to be "normal".

Answer 6

Hi and your question is a fair one. Racism will not end until Armageddon. If have any inclination of belief in Jehovah God the best thing for you is to read the Bible, all of it, but for starters read 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 and also Acts 10: 34 - 35; esp. Acts. The best thing for all yet most (90%) will lose their lives at Armageddon or if they were to die before then they will not be resurrected; either way it is about 90% of the world because let's face it, people just don't listen to God's guidance...they'd rather "do it on their own" independent of his instruction. I find that when I let the troubles and angst of the world get to me that I stay wrapped up in a complete ball of confusion, hate and anger...because the world is not a nice place, but when I read the Bible and gain accurate knowledge of why bad, dispicable carnage happens in the world, I get a better understanding and I feel so much better rather than taking a bottle of booze to my mouth.

Acts 10: 35 - 35; ....."God is not impartial, for any man from any nation who works righteousness is acceptable to him".

Psalms Chapter 37 is also a great chapter to read because it lets you know that the meek ones, the ones who really love what is good and who love peace will be the ones who inherit the earth in the exquisite delight of abundance of peace.

The wicked one will be cut off, and we'll 'give attention to his place', but he will not be, meaning:

We'll look for Angie, or David, Ronny or Tony (the ones who were always drunk, or committing fornication, racism, hate, plotting against the good one, etc.) but they won't be there anymore, and just for a second we'll be sad, but we know (the meeks ones who make it after Armageddon) that there is everlasting life on a paradise earth and that no more Angies or Tonys will be around to create havoc for anymore of God's true and loving creation.

Don't worry, one day there will be no more that exist that promote racism and prejudice. I have to watch it myself because being an imperfect human, sometimes I find myself hating those who do the hating for no good reason. I then have to step back and reprove my thoughts. I really do because do I want to become like them?

Hatemongers won't inherit God's kingdom and by the looks of things, His kingdom is not far off. Hold on in there and ready yourself for that appointed time....try hard not to get caught up in the ruins of the world.

Nice question and fair to ask.

Wish you well.

Answer 7

We breathe the same air and eat food to survive, that's enough explanation to make us one. To go a step further, we are sinners. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." This ultimate fact unifies us.

I have no clue when racism will end but I am very sure about one eventuality. People who are pro racism will pay for their actions very badly. If not in the world, in the world to come. I am a world citizen and I believe in 2 facts. That I am sinner and a human being. The rest may disagree or raise a point, but nothing can move me from my valid stance.

Answer 8

Liberal politicians do not want a cure for Racism, for Racisim feeds their political careers, just as the FDA does not want a cure for cancer or any other catastrophic illness, for these "problems" are "cash cows" for the very existence of the most passionate entity claiming abolish of the "problem". Consequently, as long as there is politics, then there will be Racism.

Answer 9

Racism and all other types of prejudice have been around since the dawn of civilization. Every race has been enslaved and/or mistreated by some other race at some time or other in our history. I doubt it will ever end as long as there is hatred and bigotry all over the world.

Also, as long as bogus theories like the origin of species are taught in school, children will be taught to be racist. It was Darwin's theory that prompted Hitler to believe his race was superior to all other races.

Answer 10

It would be nice to see an end to racism, but it doesn't seem likely to happen too soon. People have a tendency to divide others into "us" and "them." My prediction is that eventually all people will have a pleasant cafe au lait skin color, but unfortunately people will always find something to discriminate against others for.
