i hate that people still judge eachother on their race. not all black people live in the ghetto and not all white people get plastic surgery and are soccer moms.
i wish we could all just agree to disagree... i feel like people dont mean to.. but they are continuing it. why cant we just stop it all together? and how?
i don't judge a person on the way they are on the outside.. people tha do that are really ****** up. sorry.

Make everyone who isn't American GO BACK HOME! Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind and everyone is happier!
Does that make you feel better? If not, Get real! Racism isn't a good thing, but as long as both sides of the coin are prejudice of one another, it isn't going to go away either. Interject into hate speech when you hear it happen, tell the person that they are wrong for feeling that way, because God made all people equal. If you hear a white man telling a black joke using the "N" word, tell them off. If you hear a black man use the word "WHITEY", Tell him that you're against "WHITEY" too, and that not all White People are like "Whitey". Take a stand whenever you encounter it, and that's what you can do to make it go away. Guess what We ALL should do that, then Racism won't be a problem anymore. We all need to realize that we are all human and are just as suceptable to engaging in hate speech, and that no matter what race you are, hate speech is wrong. To me, there is only one race and that's the human race. But as far as telling people off, I am an Equal Opportunity Offender. Smart *** Coments are like a free service that I give. A bonus if you will.

I hate to be a cynic, and I'm glad you feel this strongly about the subject but as long as people are different these ideas and opinions will survive. The only thing you can do is raise your children to respect others and hope for the best. Also I would suggest you look up the definitions of Prejudice, Stereotype, and Racism. Once you know the real definitions you wont use them in the wrong context.

I think it would be impossible as u cant change every persons opinion, but look at it like this we are getting better years ago it was a lot worse. Im sure that a lot of people would have tried to stop racism a long time ago if we could, but as u said some people are just ****** up

Racism won't stop any time soon. America was founded on deeply racist actions (ie, killing and or enslaving everyone else and justifying this based on race). You can only hope to truly examine yourself, and hope to raise children who are semi-free from racism.
Racism is so prevalent that you'd be suprised to find out how much racism you truly have within you. If you've ever thought positive things due to race, you're racist; it's not only negative things.

It's hard to change the views of others. But if you can open their hearts and minds, more power to you!
