What motivates racism prejudice ?

Question

Who is prepared to admit to being racist and why do you have such views ? Please don't say 'ignorant' or 'stupid' or 'ill-educated'.

I'm sick of seeing posts by racists recently, and not only white racists but other races being abusive about whites too. Why do you all put us together when you comment - we're not all the same.

Answer 1

Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it. They are scared to find 'different' people are really just like them.

Answer 2

I believe alot of people who R racist or have prejudice, may be 1. Insecure about who they R.
2. Raised by parents with alot of hate in the home. Such as prejudice against blacks,whites, hispanics etc. etc. Racism exist in all races. You are very correct. We hear more about white racist, but the fact is all races have people who R racist against others. Prejudice exist not only with a persons color, but look at Ireland, they have been fighting and hating each other for ever! Over religion! If our whole world was gray there would still be prejudice, for one reason or another, really very sad! Seems like people just have to have a reason to hate, so sad. But the reason it will never go away, is that parents will continue to spread this venom to their children, a vicious and ugly cycle. These people put a certain type in a catogorey, they do not consider the people they are racist towards as individuals! But as a group due to race, religion, the war or past wars etc. etc.
I feel at times I to have been prejudice, I am not proud of that, but I have gotten angry at people from other countries, when they don't speak english oh I get so upset. I now know that's wrong, but at times it still rears it's ugly head! I have to remind myself, hey your grandparents came to the USA too, from Italy!
For any person to say they have never felt prejudice or racism against someone, or someone's belief's is just plain lying to themselves.
Admitting our mistakes is the only way we can make a difference! Just watch a group of small children, there is no prejudice or racism there! They look at each other thru innocent eyes, it's up to each generation to make these changes. But I admit it will be a slow process, since people will raise their children with their hate, what a shame.
I also must add the media loves to play the race card, and with the war now, racism is now at a all time high!
Your question is a very good one, but as for a solution will there ever be one? Probably not, but we can make it better, just by working on yourselves.
Ciao!

Racism, is in many cases taught. Dad was racist, so son is racist, son has kids they are racist.
Honestly though, there is a bit of prejudice in EVERYONE.
The most self proclaimed "un-racist" white person would get a bit nervous if they seen a gang of black guys walking towards there car at midnight. A black person would get a bit nervous if a bunch of mullet having confederate flag shirt wearing hicks were to confront them in the middle of the night.
The "racists" you see on here posting "ni@ger" and "cracker" all the time. I would bet my life that they have NEVER confronted someone of the oppisite race and expressed there so-called views. There bedroom racists, when it's real world time they forget all about how many times they typed the N word today.

Although I don't agree with what they say or do. I do respect Militant black organizations or White supremecy organizations. They have, at the very least, some integrity. If you're gonna do something do it all the way. Hate them all, all of the time. Don't come online of all places and spout your pseudo-racist bullshit. When you have no idea why or who it is you really hate.

Answer 4

im not racists im a realist.
Im not prejudice against color, im prejudice against those who are to stupid to learn and by the way they act or their values

example. Girl gets pregnant at 15, oops now shes pregnant again at 17, then 20 and still single , no job and no education, to me she's worthless, I mean duh figure out what causes pregnancy and stop it.

Example. If someone gets ahead because of their color or sex, that is not right. Promotions should be based on performances not anything else and how hard someone works, Ive seen to many people get skipped over because of someone elses skin color.

lastly its not whiteys fault, ITS YOUR fault. Stay in school, dont get pregnant young, stay focused and being poor isnt ane xcuse to be a criminal either
and if this makes me a racist, oh well
oh and you should know how to speak english when you come to America, its a privelage to be able tolive here NOT A RIGHT unless you are born here. DIDNT say you cant have your culture but know our language and speak it in public, you could be telling someone yeah im gonna blow up this building today and I wouldnt know

Answer 5

i'm half and half(black father white mother)a lot of the so called racism is due to the pc brigade. not just races but also religion. personally i think if a muslim/pole/turkish/aussie/american person come to live here then they should accept our culture not the other way round.(a lot of people do this already)
if i called someone black trash for example the pc brigade would be all over it, but then white trash is accepted??? its a strange world we call home but we are (for the most part, terrorists etc excluded) all the same on the inside. its a shame we cant all just accept each other.

Answer 6

i assume the version could desire to be that racial prejudice is a concept of a individual's features in line with their race, and racism is acts that injury human beings's thoughts and are brought about because of the fact of a prejudice.

Answer 7

If you take a look at anyone who is racist, you will invariably find that either one or both of their parents are racist.
Nobody is born with any kind of prejudice.It is a vile trait that is indoctrinated.

Answer 8
