Racism will be a hard one to conquer because people are not honest with themselves. There are so many people who hold racist ideologies but don't consider themselves racist and shudder at the word. That's a big problem. A lot of people also bring up all of the problems and things that they feel are wrong with a particular race, yet remove themselves from any sort of blame whatsoever. They feel that since they didn't have their hands on the chains, they're not responsible. However, their current mindstate which, in most cases, is filled with contempt for a particular race, is just as much a problem as the atrocities that happened long ago because it was those very sentiments that allowed for those evil things to happen in the first place.
Blacks, on the other hand, feel as if they have a bigot card that allows them to be racist against whites because of the original sin, if you will. This is also a big problem because now whites are feeling backed into a corner. Even those who attempt to deal with their particular prejudices can't do so because many blacks won't allow them to escape the veil of slavery and Jim Crow.
And the cycle continues infinitely.
The only way I think we can ever truly minimize racism is (1) Have an open mind, (2) Be honest with ourselves with respect to our particular prejudices because we all have them and (3) Learn to forgive and forget
These things are hard to do. It takes people with a lot of character to even attempt it. But it's possible.
Let's hope for the best.

No the great history of all white people has no longer consistently been racist against black people. Racism is what that's and anybody has a 2nd of undesirable judgment. How do you think of the underground railroad labored? White people assisting black people.

You hear a lot of talking.
or
You see a lot of posting.
I see more of the latter.
Black and Latino students were involved in brawls for two weeks straight at Jefferson High School in south Los Angeles.

this one is a blog
So I hear there was yet another racial fight at Jefferson High School in LA recently. I always find it surprising how very few people know about the significant amount of racial tension that exists in LA.

a short blurb re hate crimes
Who are the Perpetrators?
• Males make up the overwhelming majority of hate crime perpetrators
• Juveniles represent about half of hate crime offenders
• White supremacist groups make up only a small percentage of offenders

white people are not the only racist we are just the only race that gets called racist. blacks say the same things but it viewed as black pride the fact that you seed white racism proves this.

racism is silly, there is only one human race, just different features and melanin levels.
