Why are you blind to racism?

Question

This is a statement which i'd like people to think to themselves and answer honest how you feel about racism.
I can talk to anyone, anywhere and no one is Racist. If you are around them enough, you'll see their dislike for a certian group, and their disgust, and you ask again, after they have proven they are racist, and their statement changes to "Yea, but i'm not a racist, i just dont like ___" Racism can only be crushed by people facing their demons. I know i myself am racist, i dislike whites. But i make sure that i keep that to myself, and dont act on it, so when i die the hate dies with me. So i do not influence, someone else to hate as i do. I try to learn about Whites and figure where my dislike comes from, but it is not written in books. So i assume it's from events of my life. I do not hate whites to where i do not talk, or interact, or even help. But i am very cautious, and observant, and "ready" when i am around them. How do your feelings affect your interaction?

Guys, i never said i HATE ALL WHITE PEOPLE, i dislike most. My best friends mother is white, my girlfriend is white. I have no HATE for anyone. But i do have alot of dislike. Distrust. I have no anger toward anyone for my ancestry. From my own standpoint it never happened, i wasn't alive, but i do feel the effects of it. Not angry, in alot of ways i'm happy, i'm a VERY strong person because of it. But do understand, this is not Hateful, it is honest. I'm racist because i judge caucassions on a diffrent scale than everyone else. But i know their is no cure, i can't "feel" diffrently. Just like i wont enjoy getting hit with a bat, it's just something that is not in me to do. But i will avoid breeding more hate. Yet after thinking about it, i am technically doing it by asking this question.

Answer 1

Well, I was brought up in an environment to love all people, no matter what color they may be or nationality.

I see all people as equal, even though some groups are not treated that way. I choose to treat people the same, as does God. He is an impartial God, and I chose to live my life according to the way he wants us to.

I understand where you are coming from though. Experiences throughout one's life have a major effect on how they see people.

Very observant!

Answer 2

I'm not blind to it. I'm a victim of it. Everyday I see blacks commiting barbaric social acts and everyone just bows their heads out of fear of being called a racist. If a white person acted like this, 10 people would go over to yell at them. Blacks are very open about being racist, sexist and homophobic but the media never makes any news about that. If a white person kills 2 blacks in a crime; it is international news but let a ***** do the same thing and it doesn't even make the last page. Negroids have special rights in America and in the media that no other race enjoys. We are the victims of racism, not the groid.

Answer 3

At school I was called a wog because I looked italian to the anglo kids. Recently I have been called a n'gger and black fella because I have some aboriginal in me and it seems to show more with age. By some, I mean minute, like my great grandmother on my mothers side was 1/2 aboriginal and my fathers side were all white people. I have been on the sharp end of racism so I know what it is like. I keep pretty much to myself.

Answer 4

I am not blind to racism. I don't agree with it and don't think I ever could whether it was hating whites or a member of any race different from mine. I have friends from every group, religion, and culture. I am also biracial and quite content having a mixed background. Being biracial has allowed me to grow into someone who is culturally aware and open-minded.

I have received a lot of racism from white people because of my black heritage but I cannot judge a whole race because of the people that have done me wrong. Likewise, I have also received subtle hostility from people like yourself who are racist against whites but that doesn't make me feel inferior for having white relations. Furthermore, it doesn't make me denounce my black heritage because of individuals with views such as yourself. The only thing hate can accomplish is more hate.I believe that choosing to be racist is like choosing to live your life in an unproductive state.

Answer 5

I am white, my mom is from South America and father french Canadian. I attended a mixed race school, best friend since kindergarten was black, our parents would not allow us to go in the others house. We stayed best friends till grade 5 when she moved away. My older brother ran a tropical food store which I worked at. Daily I was called names from the black customers as I was I white girl working in a black store. I was attacked and surrounded by a group of black girls (10-15 of them) while returning from work one afternoon for not getting off the sidewalk while they were on it, they would not let me by unless I said I was sorry,,,,I did not and stood my ground as they all called me a white bit.. , these girls were 20 years younger than me so I did not want to fight them, I managed to get out and go home, I went to the high-school and reported them. I blame there attitudes on the adults that raised them. People are good and bad, the colour or beliefs in a person make no difference to me, its how a person treats me. I do not hate or have ill feelings toward people of colour, its the individual I judge. I do understand your feelings. =)

Answer 6

Okay, I see where you are coming from, but I don't understand why you say "I dislike all white people". It just isn't fair, you don't know every white person on the planet. Also, you might get the feeling that you want revenge for your ancestors who had to suffer when they were slaves, and I understand that, because I had ancestors who were endentured servants who were treated pretty much the same as the slaves. Not all white people were bad in the past, and not all of them are now, and not all black people are perfect. But you are keeping hate, and hate won't die with you when you die, and you are talking about being a racist, so you are spreading hatred. Take a look at the life of Samuel Morris. He was an African prince, and God saved him from men who had him for ransom. He came to missionaries and found his way to America and went to Taylor University in Ft. Wayne, IN. He was a Christian, and he helped bring all kinds of people to Christ. He didn't care whether you were black or white, atheist or Christian, a proffesor or a popper. He wanted you to know Jesus like he did, that is where you will find peace. I choose to look at people like Samuel Morris as a role model, you are showing the bad side of a race when you could be showing the good side. Do more research and find that every race on earth has bad people, and every human being is sinful, but you can find peace and love in Jesus Christ, and you can loose chains of hatred that are holding you down. Stop being racist as soon as possible and see the good in people instead of the bad. You are not perfect either, but you can choose to be a good role model instead of a bad one. Good luck and God bless.

Answer 7

I'm black and white i grew up around racist i just don't care any more alot of my friends parents are racist but it was really hard being stuck in between believe it or not a lot of races are racist white & black black & mexican stop and listen to how people talk to other people

Answer 8

If this how you feel than you are not better than the RM's Lord Vader's Robert Shelton's of the world and YOU will suffer the same fate they will.

You should to view each and every person as an individual, on his or her own merit. As I'm sure you want God to view you. Maybe an eternity in Hell is OK with you.


Yet, with all this said, someone will use this email as an excuse to hate all Blacks.

Answer 9

I am not blind to the ants walking beneath my feet; they are just unworthy of notice. The same applies to racism. It's not an issue unless you make it one. Too bad so many people do, especially race-baiting con men.

Answer 10

I'm not blind to it, I just don't see because I am rolling my eyes everytime the phrases, "I'm not racist" or "white people are more racist than any other race." gets said.
