Some people are racist because it has been programmed into their minds from their racist parents/ other family members before them. It does make them bitter deep down inside, though, and this makes me angry. Why pass on such a hatred of someone just because of their skin color? It makes no sense. Everyone is equal.

Fear.
This is going to sound messed up but I'm black and I come from a place where for a long time there was only black and white people. Any other race was almost non-existent. Then one year I went to a local beach and the place was chock FULL of what I can only call Latino people. They were all having fun and minding their own business but for some reason I suddenly felt out of place and did not know what to do. I spied one of the younger boys looking at my daughter as she walked by and instantly felt the need to leave. Then I realized what I was doing and shook it off and purposefully made it a point to say hello to some people (which was just more of the same thing haha).
I finally came to terms with what racist people must feel on that day and although I overcame it I understand it a lot better now.
You want to end racism? End it in yourself first by understanding that we all want to feel comfortable where we are and that sometimes in order to do that it requires a little bit of effort on your part.
Sell out theories, take me as I am theories, and superiority theories are all just manifestations of the same thing turned in on itself.
Had I taken the easy way that day I would have probably hated myself later.

Many racists are raised by racist parents and they grow up thinkin that one race is superior than the others.

Because they don't realize how much happier they would be if they were more tolerate and accepting.
