Not that I am naive, I know there is racism everywhere and that sucks big time. limits our abilities to pick the best and the brightest to propel our country forward. But some of the dumbest, rudest, ridiculous questions about race are asked constantly on this site. Are people TRULY that ignorant? God I hope these people are just trying to get a reaction because it scares me to think that there is still such ignorance in this country. The next generation is supposed to be SMARTER than the last. What is happening?

I am not accusing any particular group of racism, just asking if your views on the level of racism have changed since coming to Yahoo! Answers. Thanks!

Hey Diesel-- Racism goes both ways so if its true about one race its true about your race too. Thanks for straightening that out. I am talking about ALL racism not just one kind. So, don't think this is just about black people because I am black, this is about everyone being racist against everyone. So quit it with your little tirade.

I believe these people who come on this web site and say the things that they say at some point believe it and say it aloud to friends and family. That is why the bible says not to judge because another race could be the one to save your life. I think most of the people who say those bad things are new to this web site and are very young and unaware that they are being judged just as harshly by someone else. Probably the person they don't like because of their race. There are stereotypes about everyone on this planet asians can't see, mexicans have a bunch of babies, filipinos are rude, pacific islanders are fat, middle east natives are terrorist, and the list goes on and I know some of the discriptions can get nasty and hurtful. So what you are reading are discriptions of stereotypes that kids hear from family members and older people. It takes one to become friends with someone of another race to understand stereotypes don't apply to everyone.

I actually thought things were worse than I have seen on here. Many seem genuinely concerned about racism. Many are still pigs, but its not going to go away over night. Or even over ten years.
As for kids being smarter than their parents, thats true if theyre educated. I have seen so many children in gracery stores, etc, that are just trash. And its all because of the parents.

I think things are getting better!
It seems to me that a lot of haters use this site to vent their ignorance. It hurts me to hear and see it though.
Let's not judge people based on some silly superficial difference like race!!! Love and respect others.

That goes for white and black people, though. Every single person is an individual and has individual opinions.

once you're particularly "offended," then that's an impediment to advancing, i.e. if our ancestors have been offended via the situations they had lived in, they could have had the alternative of killing themselves or accepting it and shifting on, fortuitously they took the later or we does no longer be here. Now evaluate how lots capability you placed into being offended. evaluate that as quickly as your boyfriend says something does it "malicious program" or "offend" you. once you're offended, you're drawing interior the perceptions of the better international and leaving the zone of two those with an argument that "can" be stated. For greater useful or worse, excepting the final fifty years or so, adult adult males have continuously been people who symbolize protection. maximum adult adult males are slightly attentive to this. maximum adult adult males do no longer understand what that's to be scared to stroll domicile on my own at evening, or have some frightening guy harass you, by using fact they could react badly, i.e. maximum adult adult males fending off stepping on different adult adult males's capes. however, while adult adult males communicate, they have a tendency to "substitute counsel" and furnish suggestion to a minimum of one yet another. the assumption-approximately being offended via yet another guy's suggestion is a thoroughly alien concept. in the event that they do no longer evaluate a guy a fool, they are going to pay attention freely, take what's useful, and word it to their lives. They in no way think of, "is this guy thinking he's smarter than me? Do i glance dumb?" - it somewhat is by using fact those suggestions are fully ineffective to progression and forward thinking. specific on an extremely base point, they choose for to look clever to a minimum of one yet another, yet it somewhat is hair fraction of how women people subject approximately appearances. So evaluate this. adult adult males are surely fairly elementary. Their "suggestion" (reminders, etc.) oftentimes have a logical root, an objective to make issues greater useful, to maintain the domicile risk-free (bodily, financially, etc.). that's an expression of ways lots they cost you, that they had evaluate you sufficient to furnish you this subject. plant existence are effective too, and consistent with danger you may remind him of such, as adult adult males do tend to concentration intensely on function over style.
