People are individuals. Don't generalize by race, etc.

Racism goes back far before racism in the United States. Since the beginning of time, groups of people have been racist or prejudiced against groups that are different than others.
And yes, some Caucasians can be very hateful towards other groups of people. But they certainly aren't the only ones and often they aren't even the worse.

Racism was not invented by the white, it has been around forever. Check your history, is was the leaders of 1 tribe that sold the members of another tribe to the white because they thought they were inferior.
Look at all the wars in history, they were all based on racism of one kind or another. Take Ireland the catholics and protestants have been fighting for how long? Is that not racism ?

OMFG what a racist question!!!
racism was brought about by evolution, between Homo Erectus (modern man) and the Neanderthals, they had a cross over time where both civilizations fought and killed each other, the Neanderthals were the weaker race and died out.
Or, you can go with the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel
I am offended that you grouped me with hate mongers like the KKK. How would you feel if you saw a question asking why do all black people smoke crack? I know that, as well as all white people are racist are only racist generalizations coming from small minded racists

Yours is a racist question that applies your prejudice to all white people. It's inaccurate and ignorant.
Human beings invented racism and seeking to blame it on one ethnic group is foolish. If you wish to see the origins of racism look to the origins of man kind - Africa. In Africa, more tribal discrimination and genocide takes place than on any other continent. Human beings invented all the problems in the world, not individual races.
Seeking to blame one ethnic group is not part of the problem but a symptom of the whole of the problem.
We'll take a giant step when people start to see themselves and others as human beings first and that the colour of their skin, gender, creed or sexual orientaton is irrelevant.

Of course white people did not invent racism. The ancient Egyptians made slave of the Hebrews. Tribes in Africa fought against each other and sold each other to whites for slaves. There is deep animosity between Chinese and Japanese for centuries. That doesn't mean that those people can't get along, though.

No race invented it, it is a social theory, and no race is any more racist than the other. If someone has insulted you today or you have experienced racism today don't come on here and perpetualise it - you are bigger than that, don't go to their level people will just loose repsect for you. So hold your head up high and be proud of who you are!

You are not serious, are you? This has been around for so many years. The Egyptians hated the Jews. The Jews hated the Samarians, the Samarians hated the Mesopotamians, the Mesopotamians hated the Greeks, the Greeks hated the Romans, The Romans hated the Germans. The Mongols hated the Chinese.
Take a break and don't act so persecuted. It does not fit an intelligent person.

Yes, they invented racism. I do not believe all of them are hateful. Every race has a few bad apples. I guess the ones that are so hateful have a horrible life and take their anger out on others. Which is pathetic? I hope this help you!
Good Luck!!!

Racism is commonly defined as a belief or doctrine where inherent biological differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, with a corollary that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.[
The term racism is sometimes used to refer to preference for one's own ethnic group (ethnocentrism fear of foreigners (xenophobia), views or preferences against interbreeding of the races (miscegenation) and nationalism,, and/or a generalization of a specific group of people (stereotype); regardless of any explicit belief in superiority or inferiority embedded within such views or preferences. Racism has been used in attempts to justify social discrimination, racial segregation and violence, including genocide. Politicians are known to practice race-baiting in an effort to win constituents.
The term racist, when used to describe someone who supports racism, has been a pejorative term since at least the 1940s, and the identification of a group or person as racist is nearly always controversial.

Nobody invented racism...altho that is a racist idea. People have always hated anyone who was different. The Egyptians were darker than the Jews and they enslaved them.
