Years of abuse has created this never ending circle of racism its those moments when your so angry and land up saying something that maybe you wouldn't normally say and children and young people hear, then they grow up and do the same thing I'm from south Africa and our country has been through so much but many times i have actually experienced racism and i was not even old enough to wipe my own nose that tI'me, but yet im called a racist treated badly because I'm white and thrown into a box because of my skin colour. People hate people no one is perfect and i think we should all stop generalising so much and except that sometimes people are just hurt scared creatures with no escape from the circle.

For skin color? There's so much more hatred out there than just that! People hate for any reason sometimes it seems. Just give 'em a reason. I think people hate when their egos "hi-jack" their spirits. And unfortunately some people have big egos. And lots of people forget that they are First a Spirit - and Then a Human. They hate because they forget we are all brothers and sisters and we are all connected. That's something we all tend to forget at times but we seriously need to remember AT ALL TIMES.

Maybe look a lil harder and see that there is really more love than hate, those who hate & hate for skin colour, do not love themselves, and are lost within there own souls, bodies and minds...and will hopefully one day change and realise that there is more to life and that we all have our own beauty & love within, beyond skin deep...They may just change and love themselves one day and see the beauty just like yourself and most of us all do.

Skin color is one of the excuses to manifest the natural aggressions and combative nature in all humans. We have a lot of lingering psychological responses and chemical triggers left over from our evolution, these come across as instincts and emotions. They can't be controlled but they are effective in asserting themselves into our behavioral patterns.
Essentially our brains are still programmed to regard others as inferior, to be very competitive - typically at the expense of others.
Also religion plays a major role in racial discrimination and prejudice.

From the beginning of creation, the conditioned living entities are born into the illusory world of duality—desire and hate. They thus desire one set of sense objects and are repulsed by another set, and they are capable of being repulsed by objects to which they were attracted only moments before.
As long as one does not realize his identity as the soul, we identify with this material body and material mind: we think "i am American"," i am Mexican", "i am Indian"," i am black, i am white, i am tall, fat, etc.
A self-realized person knows that he is not the body but a spirit soul. Therefore he sees everybody with an equal vision and has not attraction nor repulsion for other's body, but he sees everyone as souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, God.

Skin colour, size, Country of Origin, Religion, Age.......... need I go on. We hate what we fear, and we fear the unknown or different. Its partly because we are fed misleading images. Short coverage about a group of teenagers doing something good, hours of seeing misbehaving, drunken louts who think they own the world, is just one example!
As for colour If we could remove our skin we wouldn't be able to see any differences at all.

I do not actually think that it is the colour of ones skin. Its the cultural differences, people are brought up with different ways and manners, other people are scared of stepping into a group that appears so different from their own.

people without God lose their love. there was a question on here earlier where a Jew was asking if Arabs are human. I think he has got this way of thinking from propaganda on the TV.There is a lot of money to be made from generating hate. We have to watch what we allow to get inside our hearts God bless.

Humans are afraid of what we do not know. We are a visual people.
Someone can hide their evilness, but not their skin.
Someone can hide their vindictiveness, but not their skin.
Someone can hide their soul, but not their skin.
Someone can hide their hurt, but not their face.
Someone can hide their pain, but not the effects.
Someone can hide anything but there is one that sees all: God
Everyone will be judged one day and it is for us to only love and let God do his job. I have just recently learned a good lesson in this.
God Bless
