Why do racist and prejudice people feel more comfortable discriminating behind computer screens?

Question

Who are the real cowards?

thanks Rhonda ;)

YEAH SANDS! I want to see some of the people you mentioned answer my question

Answer 1

Well think about it. Do you really think Thomas Moore, Buddy V., Tara J, just to name a few of the geniuses on Answers would go around verbalizing the ridiculous ideas/beliefs that they post here? I bet if I met them face to face they would be the nicest people I ever met and all of them would just happen to have best friends who are Black! This is the only place they can vent and in time, Answers will find a way to permanently solve the problem of these trolls and closet racists ( the ones who pop up from time to time with racist comments and then disappear). I can't wait until that day.

Answer 2

Oh sure, very plenty so, i'm conscious of that. the laptop acts as a portal into the minds and hearts of others, international huge ... i've got been fortunate sufficient to fulfill some very appealing, gentle souls on line.

Answer 3

Personally I feel you answered your own question when you said the word "cowards". My guess is they feel safe behind the computer screen cause they can ignore the harsh words that are put into response. They can hide and protect themselves from the backlash they so rightly deserve! Ignorance is not born it is taught and these people learned from bigger jerks then themselves

Answer 4

They have no friends. The computer screen is their world of sinister action. Then they go to work/school and sit lonely in the corner until the time is right. At which moment they grab there guns and shoot up their local mall. What is that smell? Yes. Fresh crazy in the morning time.

Answer 5

because they couldn't say it to a persons face because behind the computer they can express all their hate without gettting in serious trouble and as yoou said they are cowards.

Answer 6

Racists are simply uneducated and don't understand that there really is no such thing as "race." We are all of the same species and races are culturally assigned by humans. This is degrading to the human species. You don't see dogs going around saying the labs need to stay over there and the dalmations need to stay over there, etc. In fact, if it were up to the dogs, all of that species would be what we call "mutts" now because they don't care who they mate with. Its the human fascination of separation that makes us breed dogs with their own kind just as we try to separate humans and breed ourselves with our own kind.

Answer 7

I feel perfectly comfortable expressing my views here or in person. I do not discriminate but know we are different.
Where prejudice is concerned, It means "Pre Judge" anyone over 14 that doesn't do that lacks the intelligence to survive rather that pre judging be by skin color, Build, Facial hair, Accent,Whatever.
Anyone with a IQ equal to room temperature makes a self preservation judgment with in seconds of meeting anyone. It's a natural instinct.

Answer 8

Good Question:

It is because they lack the gumption to go out and voice their opinions face to face. The computer builds confidence. I picture them to be pimply faced 13 year olds with Hannah Montana posters on the wall.

Answer 9

It's a great place for cowards to hide!

Answer 10

i understand where you're coming from. i have come across so many people who are racist to me and actually throw black jokes my way because they think im black (just because of my avatar skin color)...im multicultural..and yes black IS one of them...but it's actually the LEAST present in my family..im more indian and italian than anything! (THEN next is latina..THEN black..)..but people just feel that way because they're not face-to-face...being face-to-face with a person makes ALL the difference.
