im white. my parents raised me in the country. and i think they did this because they wanted to put their own ideas into my head. one thing they did not put was racism. i never learned racism until i became an adult. as an adult, i learned people were racist. then later i learned some of the things they were thinking, which i cant name because i am christian. so lets imagine they are true, these abominable non-christian ideas-- in the end, what does it matter if they are true or not? all people have souls and feelings. so why have a hatred towards other people? because of my foolish country openmindedness i have been hurt by different races. BUT i have also made great friends of different races who would rather die than hurt me. i think in the end closemindedness will close doors for you in life. why cant everyone get along?

I didn't even think about peoples colors untill i heard about racisim... And I HATE when people say well I can't do this or say this because I am a Chirstian, not just you no offence but jeeze, Im a chistian and I would say it because it's not like I mean it, it's the other people that said it that meant it. Think about it... and while your at it read my poem
Is It The End?
I watch it get colder and colder and wonder,
pretty soon it’s gunna hit 20 degrees under,
it the world ending? is there gunna be an ice age,
everyone will be crazy and go into a madning rage!
hopefully it doesn’t happen cuz i don’t think Im ready,
i’ll always miss eating junk food and eating big bowls of spaghetti,
sometimes i just look out side in despare,
and wonder if this is happening because we are pulluting the air,
pretty soon global warming is going to take over,
so everyone just please wish on a four leaf clover,
so please help the earth it’s a really good cause,
this isn’t a fairy tale like the movie jaws....
IT’S FER REAL!

Racism is just a way for people that feel inferior in their own race feel like they have some sort of standing in the world. Like nyc_whi... who spits out racist things but has his profile set so no one can directly reply to him cause he's openly being a coward... he says stand up and be counted, proof that they feel insignificant. Not all racism comes from whites though, there are lots of people that need to feel victimized to have a reason to hate, when it is in fact their own insecurities that fuel their hatred. And btw, blacks and Mexicans don't want to kill the white race, it has been recorded in history that whites have commited the most and most violent hate crimes toward not only minorities, but also gays and to women, its a dominance issue. And this isn't a white man's country, its the Natives', and I thnk no one but them has the right to complain.

why are people racist why do people go to church its all a thought pattern has nothing to do with the fact that this guy is black or thi swoman is jewish its all the same in the end. People will act however htey want to and they are going to find something to complain about no matter what. So why are people racist look in the mirror and ask yourself why you go to church everyday.
I;m really tired of people screaming racism right away oh that white guy got the job over a black guy even though the black guy was more qualified well they seem to forget about senority. Depending on the company or anything in life for that mattter all goes down to who will perform better in this type of enviroment

Racism exists because people keep it alive by practicing and teaching it to their children, their family, friends, and so on. Also, racism still exists because instead of a person getting to know another person who is of a different race as an individual, they foolishly believe in the negative stereotypes about that race as a whole.

Racism isn't somthing that you are born with. It's taught to you just like all other values. Some people are racist because they are taught bad things about other races, others because they have bad experiences with them. It's sad that we all live in this world together, but we can't live peaceful because of the color of our skin, when we all bleed red anyway.

People are racist because they are mean and ignorant. Every one can't get along because when people disagree about major issues, no one will work together and communicate to settle their differences.

It's easier to lump people up into groups and blame them for your problems and distract the fact that you are insecure about yourself in the world in which you live.

yes we try but ill give you an example: when the superbowl was goin on there was all this talk about black coaches, i really dont care and i really dont think anyone would've noticed them being the first in the superbowl without the media blowin the story up. Then all that crap about how George Bush doesn't like black people, they are attention freaks and try to get noticed for the wrong reasons.
