do you find yourself sometimes talking bad about another race? have you ever thought you could be racist?

I think there is good and bad in every race and you can't generalize or stereo type anyone because of the color of their skin. I don't consider myself to be racist.

EVERYONE has a little bit of racism in them. It is human nature to be suspicious of a different group than the group we are in. If we were all of the same religion and color, then we would find something else to harp on, ie. Region of origin, hair color, occupation, etc.
The challenge as I see it is to recognize these are just baser feelings and not act on them.
Ireland is a perfect example. Mostly white and Christian and yet the Catholics and Protestants can’t get along. Yes, yes there are tons of reasons now that they hate each other but basically it’s just because they are different.

yes i have found myself talking about the white race. not as a whole but as a most. the reason i do is because i am sometimes a victim of racism and it is not nice at all. I HATE IT. i know i am not a racist, but i was engaged to a wonderul guy whose parents were like KKK type racist. they had the litlle black fishing pole guy outside of their house. LOL i hate that little fishing pole dude. his parents always liked me over the phone. when they saw me in person and saw i was black, they flipped out. this was horrible. i broke off the engagement shortly after because i don't like closed-minded people and would not want to have kids growing up not knowing their dad's side of the family. I STILL LOVE HIM TIL THIS DAY.

yes, quite often, there are very few blacks or other groups in the area where i live and mostly only hear about them on the news, and with the muslims blowing stuff up and the obnoxious black murderers that you see, its hard not to think negatively about them, im sure if u met them in person, they may be ok, but i dont know any... ive seen some walking around, they stick out like a sore thumb and ppl im with look at them in interest, its pretty funny, ppl who live newhere else or in the citys probably think that is crazy!! lolz

Yes. I have even often said things that my white coworkers say, "That is so racist!". Apparently, I am not too much of a threat or menace because they still associate with me.

if you are black some people think it is impossible to be racist because we are the minority here and often felt to be inferior anyway. it depends on how you look at it though. ithere isn't really anything i can say on account of being racist to a wite person. white people don't take things as offensively as other minorities do. you see it in movies everyday. so they make ie where black people can say little comments and its a joke butwhites can't. and they should'nt.

No way, I could never talk bad about or be mean to anyone just because of the color of their skin, their accent or anything of that nature.......we all bleed the same, we all cry the same.
