Humans have this innate need to find patterns, typically by observing the differences between objects in a series. What this means is that when we look at a group of people, we naturally try to find what the differences are between those people so that we
can add them to the proper lists in our brains to keep things tidy in there. Because we’re lazy, we often take the easy route and only look at the most obvious difference between people which is usually either their color or their gender. For many, this doesn’t really represent a problem as long as there are no negative feelings associated with any of those mental lists or groups. It’s only when you introduce ignorance and its ugly cousin hatred into the mix that this becomes problematic. Where am I going with all of this you might ask?
Right here to the second paragraph. The problem isn’t racism, or sexism, or classism, or ageism, or any other ism that you want to complain about. The real problem is ignorance, and a lack of understanding. Understanding not only of each other, but of our own place in the world, and our purpose…

It would be nice, but highly unlikely. I think that racism is hatered passed on from generation to generation, and will not cease until we as a generation end it. It would be difficult to change all of the ignorance of this world, therefore the only thing to do is learn to cope and ignore racism. And teach our love ones by showing them how to love and embrace everyone equally.

specific, i think of this is thoroughly accessible. it could no longer take place any time quickly, yet look how some distance we've come interior the final a hundred years. to assert impossible is stupid. whether it takes 5000 years, i think of we can sometime evolve to a element the place we understand how ridiculous racism is, and we can ask your self how the human race became ever so barbaric!

As long as races are different, and they are, if only in looks, no. Why? Because man is competitive and if he perceives that others are different from him, he will strive to make sure that he and his group are at the top of the ladder.

No, actually I think it's getting worse now. People want their space now and don't like being forced to except things they don't want to except.
