I don't care. You don't bother me personally so do whatever you are. Just don't go on a racial killing spree and limit yourself to trolling on here.
I'd rather have people be who they really are inside than lie about who and what they are.

Maybe. Being a racist is not that hard these days. Don't like rap, or the gangsta culture? Must be a racist. Don't like illegal aliens streaming over our borders. Racism. As a white middle aged male, I am in the unique position of being able to be a racist, sexist, homophobic neanderthal, with no socially redeeming value whatsoever, save that I pay my taxes, obey the law, and am generally a productive member of society. I believe in God, so I can't be very smart, I believe victims rights should come before criminals, so I am obviously insensitive, I believe law abiding citizens have a right to own fire arms, so I must be a redneck, and I am a Republican, hence I'm unenlightened. Oh, yeah, I smoke. Jeez, I am dangerous, somebody shoot me.

The body you're born in has little to do with your soul, but the choices you make in life are what matter. If you want to look like a certain group, that says something about you. Race should not be the issue, but what your appearance is aimed towards can be. At least give people a chance! It could be that you are the only one missing out, not "them."

Being racist is a problem for many reasons; political and spiritual. Think about it, nowadays people will sue your *** off if they even think you're treating them unfairly because of race. Secondly we're all people on the inside, we're just different on the outside. What's next? Being perjudice against people with blue eyes? Sounds ridiculous huh? So same with races. We're all people, and no one deserves to be treated badly just because of where they came from. It's something they can't control! It isn't fair!

I think everybody is racist. Why? Because we see skin color and we assume things, or try to fight the things we assume. I first realized I did this when a black guy asked me out and I told him I have a boyfriend (which I do, but I think I would have said it anyway). After he walked away, I was really ashamed. All I did was see that he was black and assumed things about him that may not be true. I think anybody who says they aren't a racist in some way, shape or form is lying to themselves at the least.

not if you want to be an isolationist racist then you can steep in your own ignorant juices. try to find a way to get along for some reason after kindergarten that does seem to work anymore. On a more serious vein, it takes time and generations to really become free of racism.

if you dislike people based soley on color then i think its a problem. if you dislike someone based on character then no problem. either way as long as you arent hurting people then its a personal thing and you have the right to think what you want. this is just my opinion, people can think what they want as long as they dont hurt others. but racism in itself is hurtful so the only way for it not to be a problem is for racists to keep it to themselves or move out of america because its the last place to be if you have a problem with diversity.

There are at least two facets to this.
One, generalizing a whole group of people (millions) by their race is on an intellectual level, just plain dumb.
Two, legally if you allow your racism to affect business decisions (whether to hire, rent, or sell, etc) or causes you to commit a crime (assault, vandalism, etc) it is illegal.

It's not problem to me as long as you keep your ignorance to yourself. To me you don't exist, if you live or die, I could care less. Just don't come to me with the BS and you will not get your *** kicked. Have a nice day.
