Yes, I am a racist as we all are to certain degrees. As you probably already know, our current society ONLY recognizes the white population as being racist, while any other race, who has "hate" for whites, would be called reverse racists. I hear so many times the common quote of "Racists are stupid and ignorant" yet these quotes are made by the same group of people who accept terms like "Fo shizzle", "Muh Bitches", etc to be acceptible practices of speech. 80% of all violent crime is committed by the black race, yet they are only 12% of the total US population. More than 50% of the prison population is black. If you look at the total number of male black inmates between the ages of 16 and 25, you'll find that they are approximately 1/2 of the total US population of black males for this age group. If you don't think you're a racist, let me drop you off in Harlem at 3am and have you walk back to Manhattan.

I am not racist. However, I have seen a lot of people base things on color which I don't think should matter. It's not good to look down on a certain color, but its just as bad to look up to one. For example: black people are better at basketball. I think that statement is false. Also I have seen people of races state that a person of another race is making a remark that is racist, but in fact what has happened is that the first person took what the second person said completly out of context. Also,America has just become too politically correct in trying not to be racist. I have literally seen a Jamacian man be called an African American in a high school history class texbook. No joke. Don't be racist, but just stop being so tight up the *** about it.

I take the position that race is an outgrowth of racism, not the other way around as the argument is often made. By this I mean that race is largely a social as opposed to a genetic distinction.
I don't consider myself racist, but I am certainly willing to allow that someone may have perceived my behavior as such.
I do think that racism continues to be a problem in the world.

All people are racist to some degree, to say you are not racist simply would not be true, because there would be something that they would not like about a person from a different culture, there will always be racism within all cultures of the world, and that's a simple fact.

I am not a racist. I like the diversity of the Human species. Racists have an unnatural fear of other races. They fear what they do not know or understand, I think better education would improve a lot of racists views. Some people however are just moronic bigots beyond help.

I'm not a racist. I hate everyone the same.
Seriously though, I hate racism to such an extent that I couldn't possibly begin to express it. Alot of racism is based on nothing substantial and is really petty. Racism is like a disease, and one should seek professional help for it. It's nothing to be proud of.

Not really. I make white jokes every now and then. I don't consider that racist. I'm half white and it's not like I'm being hurtful or go on tirades periodically so I don't think I'm "racist" to the degree peopole think is the racist norm.

NOT! and, I think that racist people learn their behavior and hard habits are hard to break. I also think that racist people just don't have knowledge about other races and they just don't put themselves out there to meet and get to know about other races. I think if people would, racism could be abolished if people would try.

any one who claims to be 100% not racist is a liar. every one at some stage is sucked in to the race stereotypes and is guilty of some comment or action that is perceived as racist.
