Why are we more ready to share our thoughts about our racist and hatred opinions... before we are ready to talk about our love and appreciation of the other backgrounds and beautiful ethnicities that surround us???

Ignorance recognizes only ignorance... love recognizes life and individuality.

As Real As... You have some real racist issues.. you looked way far more into what I speaking upon... you need to look more into yourself... and gain some love and appreciation for the world around you..

Human beings are really quite weak and fearful beings. It is therefore largely a matter of self preservation instincts to be fear-full of that which is unknown or unfamiliar to us.
One way that humans can help themselves to feel intelligent and superior, is to find ways to make others look ignorant or inferior in some way and this is the basis of most prejudice and discrimination.
It is part of the human condition however and everyone displays some degree of prejudice toward some other group, whatever the reason. Providing that you are aware of your own prejudices, and make a realistic effort to deal with them, they should not normally create too much of a problem for anyone.
I defy anyone to state categorically and truthfully, that they are totally without prejudice.
That should not be a bar to appreciating the good things that are occurring around us all the time however!

This question is kind of defeating itself.
If people are having "thoughts about our racist and hatred opinions," then what makes you think those same people have "love and appreciation of the other backgrounds and beautiful ethnicities that surround us?" It sounds like you're talking about two different people with two different views on things, and wondering why they haven't merged into one person that follows only way of thinking.
Make up your mind.
People are free to think and feel what they like, and it seems that you have somehow placed yourself in the proximity of those that express opinions that you disagree with.
Have a cookie.
EDIT: unearthlyjoy,
I am far from "racist." I recognize that everyone has a right to think and feel what they like. I'm not sure how that makes me "racist" in your little mind, but you're horribly inaccurate.

I think it's only natural for people to prefer one culture (if not there own) over another. Same way as people prefer one genre of music over another.
It's only that, people tend to have strong opinions for or against other cultures, which tend to be insulting for the people of that culture in question. making us "prejudice".
I for one love cultural diversity, but I can't deny the fact that I may have uttered some "mild" racist comments.

it is not racist when we speak an opinion of a group of people,we must start to look after ourselves first.legal/illegal people are always treated fairly but our own are not treated in the same way.so you can understand why we talk like this and then get accused of being racist.i dont like my opinion being devalued by do-gooders who simply reply with out any meaningful answer.my question i always put to these people is ,would we be given the same equal rights if we were in their country.i think not.charity begins at home.

Prejudice keeps you out of danger. This isn't a platitude or hypothesis, it is reality.
When dealing with humans or other potentially dangerous animals, caution is vital.
By all rights, I am alive today because of my prejudice, not in spite of it.
I have outlived naivete.

I guess its easier to complain about something that has affected you, perhaps because one gets treated the same negitive way as one treats others !!
I would love to talk about love and beautiful things, and sometimes I do

Good question. I feel it's an effort to draw attention from their own inadequacies by using uneducated opinions. They can't move forward in life by their own power, so they blame others for their problems.

I think you will have to answer that yourself. I don't know anyone who is prejudice.
