Unfortuntely, I think most racism starts at a very young age. As a child growing up, you can hear and figure out from being around family members, what they think of other races and if they have racist behaviors. It is not until a child is older and have more experience in the world that they begin to develop their own thoughts. I don't care what anyone says, I think everyone is racist to some extent. If you think something negative about a certain race, guess what? those are racist thoughts.

It gives ignorance a false sense of something. hate is the point of racism. Just to think that we are not born hating anyone because of the color of their skin, religion, or sexual orientation.
RISE UP
EDUCATION IS THE KEY.

I think anger, arrogance, and ignorance. I don't know what the point of race is. I mean, we are all just people. Why do we have to have the idea of race. All it does is encourage and give a reason for there to be racism.

At this point it's only use seems to be to get one race out of jail blame the arrest on one race or another and you are off the hook. Racism of any kind is wrong and bothers me deeply. But what really bothers me more is people using racism to get themselves out of trouble.(playing the race card)
For those that are true racists it only goes to show how ignorant they are.
They want to oppress

Racism does give people a false sense of pride. For example, I'm white, and making fun of blacks can seem fun to me, and it could make me feel better than them. I'm sorry it is this way, but I'm not a racist. The worst thing I do is stereotype people according to their color. That doesn't make me exclude them though.

It's a combination of the human desire to be in a flock and to be superior.
It results in a group of people of like color or beliefs sticking together and thinking they're better than another "flock".

There is no point of racism...... People think they are better because of their skin color.... it is not true at all
People should be based on their character of their race.

racists wants to be adapted to life like it was before the ice age. Maybe they believe this civilization will go under and we have to survive different climates.

its a fail safe, designed to seperate us from others which we dont understand, so that here is no chance that that new peoson will hurt us, we like to be around our own kind, cus we know they wont hurt us. but in our modern world, racism has no purpose, its just a left over emotion from our barbaric caveman days.
