My daughter heard me talking my friend about the questions that hindu4ever had put up and other people. And she asked what racism was
I explained that it small minded people who dont like other people that look different. and dont like people that believe in different things from them.
She promptly replied with "they sound stupid who would want to be there friends i wouldnt"
Why when people get older do some of them get so bitter and twisted?
Why cant people just think the way an 8 year old does it seems so simple

A lot of children don't have open minded parents like you. Children often grow up with the same beliefs as their parents, especially if they never go off to college or big cities where there is diversity and new ways of thinking.
If a child is raised by racists, they have a good chance of becoming racists themselves.
It sucks.

People listen to people with bad thinking habits. People who think their color is superior think their mind is superior too. That is bad thinking habit. When Hitler addressed the Olympics in a sports contests that would show superiority of his race, Jesse Owens who is black won many gold medals defeating Hitler's bets.
Bad thinking habits are communicable. Good thinking habits are taught.
