why do some people believe racism is ok?

Question

what are their(or your) reasons?

just curious. i wanna know

Answer 1

Because this country was built on racism, it's as American as apple pie

Answer 2

Some people believe that, being intolerant of the differences between human beings is justified.
The ideology of "racial superiority" mandates that, those deemed inferior be eliminated. Therefore, justifying the perpetration of acts of discrimination, economic disenfranchisement, brutality, and various forms of villainy.
If someone views their racist agenda as being a "code of life" then anyone can be targeted for the edification of this purpose.
Ultimately, the competition for limited resources prevails or the actions of the sociopath are imposed upon others and someone or a group begins to insinuate their destructive ideas on society and the villainy begins to be enacted.
Thus, justifying this cancerous and divisive way of social interaction.

Answer 3

I guess I'm still not sure if Im a racist or not? I do know that I'm proud to be white, but the blacks, and hispanics have racial pride too. They even have festivals, parades and marches to show their racial pride. So I don't think having white pride is enough to make me a racist, and I love to see pretty girls of any color!
I guess if you think I am a racist, it at would at least partially have to be because of my upbringing. I was raised in a home with racist jokes, slurs, and slogans about how (insert your favorite racial slurr hear) are ruining this country. For many years I took it all as absoulute truth, it was only recently when I realized some of the things I'd be taught growing up were wrong.
Oh well, no ones perfect I guess, but I just want to go on record as saying I don't hate very many people. It's just too much work to feed hatred all the time, so if I hate you it's because you've really hurt me or someone I love. Not because of the color of your skin.

Answer 4

Mostly i think its based off bad experiences they have,. They project their negative feelings onto the victims because their anger makes them do it. Some people are just self-righterous and believe one race is inferior to another, but I can't b 100% sure, b/c im not a racist.

Answer 5

They're ignorant either because they grew up in an ignorant family, community, or have ignorant peers. They've been influenced by the people around them, and also by not educating themselves about other people and cultures. Most racist people don't want to learn.

Answer 7

No one is born a racist! Racism will not cease to exist until it is no longer taught!

Answer 8

That's a really good question. I had friends in East Texas who constantly raised hell about ******* and yet had several african american friends. I still don't get it. Personally I've known more white ******* than black ones if you use my definition of that word.

Answer 9
