Time after time I read a question by somebody that is trying to make sense out of all of the turmoil that surrounds the different races of man. I even asked a question and have received nothing but smack, being accused of being racist. I have tossed in some definitions that I found on Wikipedia. It would seem that being a racist could be no more than preferring to be around your own race. I guess that I could be considered a racist then because I trust my own race around me more than I trust those of another race therefore I do prefer Whites to other races.
It is not that I believe that the White race is superior and has the right to rule other races. How many people of other races prefer to be around their own people rather than Whites? I have never been offended by this and can’t understand why others would be. We are all unique, some better, some worse, some good, some bad. I have just been treated better by other Whites as a whole than I have by other races.
This might be an answer to the question. Differences attract initially but then there is always sides to be taken when controversy arises. Blacks generally side with Blacks, Whites with Whites, Hispanic with Hispanic, etc. Not all the time and not in every instance but I think we all feel a strong loyalty to our own race. I have nieces and nephews of several mixed races and they have a pretty confusing life for the most part. Not horrible or anything, it’s just very obvious that they don’t know where their loyalty should lie and this causes them pain.
Definitions:
Racism is commonly defined as a belief or doctrine where inherent biological differences among the various human 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.

Because by living with other races we learn acceptance and tolerance. Because by living with other races we realise the good things in our own culture, and adopt the amazing things from other cultures.
Because the vast majority of us want to live harmoniously..
Your question can easily be applied to the differences and problems associated with men and women.
Why do we continue with the struggle?
Because we're irrevocably drawn to the challenge and unfamiliar!
Open your eyes and heart; let go of the bigotry of the minority.

If you read your history books, then you will discover the answer. Different CULTURES and types of people live together because eventually it becomes advantageous to do so. One culture, isolated from outside influence, seldom survives. Those social systems most open to integration and adaptation, that learn from others and adapt, survive and are successful.
So you see, we all live together because we have to... its called interdependence. No one culture has all the answers!

i think of it relatively is plausible. i could say 'easily!' yet it relatively is by using the fact I stay in a city with little racial differences, or perhaps the fifty or so non-whites share such comparable values and interior of your means standards that there's no longer a difference in any respect. even nonetheless--for the duration of my study of u.s. as of overdue, i'm vulnerable to have faith that miniorities act like they anticipate racism, hence starting to be racism. No. we won't all be happy jointly.

I disagree with your assumption. The key to different "races," though you mean "cultures" living together is simply education. Understanding and respecting people is like unto the same thing, or perhaps like the first step.

Because where there is prosperity, that is where people want to be. Everyone is just trying to make a living. That's all. Plus I find more often than not, men and women are attracted to other races, because the exotic looks they may posses.

If one can not get along with the opposite race down here, there will be little guessing of if you will enter Heaven. Jesus said how can we say we love Him whom we have not seen and hate our brothers and sisters whom we have seen. There will be none of that in Heaven. May God bless

I dont hate anybody. If I dont like someone, its because they are an ******, certainly not because of their race.

Why no dumb answers by racist people, when it's a question asked by a racist person?
