Not one instant that you look down to another person because he or she is black(africans,carribeans),white(americans,europeans),charcoal(arabs,indians,pakistanis)or brown(asians,chinese,filipinos,japanese)?????
THIS QUESTION IS FOR ALL THE RACE THAT GOD HAS CREATED AND ABOUT TO BE CREATED BECAUSE OF ALL THE MIXED UP OF RACE.
One more thing do you really feel like you belong to a certain country even if you were born in that country but look totally different(e.g Mom white Dad black)?Do you really have these sense of belonging or you can still feel that somehow people resent you in someway for being different?

Human beings are discriminative by nature and the reason being is due to us being in the bodily concept of life. We think we are these bodies. We ARE NOT this bodies, we are spirit souls that temporarily inhabit this material bodies. Once this body dies due to old age and/or disease we, the spirit soul, searches for another body that will suit our needs and desires. When we take birth in a certain body type (black, white, yellow, brown, etc.), due to our bodily identification, wrongly think that our race, gender, stature, profession, family, etc. are the best so we look down on others. This discrimination not only takes place among races but also among genders and from humans to animals.

i guess i can't say that i've never looked down on someone based on race... but i do believe that everyone's a little bit racist sometimes (like in the song from avenue q)... it doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes.
but one thing that bothers me is when black people are racist against whites and think it's okay (for example: in 7th grade this black girl called me a white b-i-t-c-h [<
another thing that bothers be is when people call racism against white people "reverse racism" since whites are notorious for being racist towards black people. it's just plain racism.
i was born and raised in america but i'm also scottish, irish, french, and english. so when people ask me what my heritage is, i usually just list those. but really, i am an american. i've never been to scotland, ireland, england, or france and my relatives immigrated here a very long time ago.

God knows our hearts. He knows if we are racist or not. I am certin that I am not a racist. I could care if a person is one people group or the other or two or three. We are all a part of the human race.
Just be an American.. LOL

I think that if you were taught as a child that every one is equal then you have a good chance of thinking freely for your self later in life.If you were taught hate and dislike of any thing different then i feel sorry for you no matter what your race,because we are all the same.We all feel love as well as pain from our fellow man, and can be hurt by these actions.

I think that we are all deep inside a bit of racists.I have to admit that I deslike certain groups of people but as far as noone annoys me why would I look down on them?So as a conclusion when I die I will have to confess my being nationalist and racist!

Anyone who says they have never been a racist hasn't worked waiting tables in the south. They also probably haven't been raped and robbed by two (DIFFERENT) big black men.
Does that mean I am a racist? No. Does it mean that I am a LOT more cautious around big black men? Absolutely.

I used to be a BIG racist (against Jews) until I become a follower of Jesus Christ, He has help me put this sin under my feet. I do get mad at the media, to me they fan the flames of racism and hate in so many ways.

I think it was my grand father who told me "Any man who says he is not racist is either a saint or a fool, and I have never met a saint yet."
every one has preconceived notions and ideas. But it is a true test of character to over come those thoughts and notions, and to accept every one on an equal level.

I will honestly be able to say that I was aware that there were different races, but that I did nothing to denegrate anyone because of their race or other differences.
