Just curious, is there anyone here who considers themselves racist? I know there are people out there who consider this a good thing, I'm not getting at anyone, just curious.

Because we are not angels, our very nature makes us liable to all sorts of prejudices. We are judgemental and therefore it is not to be avoided that we will not like things which are different from us or things which we do not understand. In that light, I am a racist too - and that's being honest. Racism is only an aspects of a person being bias - except that the ground for being bias is based on the colour skin. You can be bias against a whole host of things such as health and education or even appearances. There is a lot of people who do not like physically handicapped people. I remember that in some family they are ashamed of their children who are mentally or physically handicapped. That is a form of discrimination. If you were a parent and have a few children, you will find that you tend to like them differently fo whatever reasons. If that is possible within your own family, how much more so in the world where there is a vast variety of colours, creeds, ethnicities, cultures etc etc. An honest confession, I am, can be and will be a racist from time to time but then the important thing is that do not let that get too far that it turns to hatred. History has shown to us the danger if we allow that to get too far.

No I am not racist but I do have racist behavior(my body language). It is automatic for anyone who stamps stereotypes to certain races and they sub- consiously believe that the stereotype is true. But I love everybody and if I had a chance I would love to get to know every human race personally. God Bless

I'm not racist or biased in anyway. Although I don't think racists even know the definition of racism is. Good luck. 2D

I know what you mean. some people take great pride in being racist. There are a lot of people I have little time for but I have yet to base it on their racial origins

NOT AT ALL.
i watched something on the KKK once & there are whole groups of people out there who are racist.
& they say "our reason for hating blacks is just because we can."
how stupid is that?
& their poor kids who grow up thinking that!
