Racism and prejudice towards different races was always a prominent factor all through history. However, after many years, and many series of changes, racism still remains like a oil stain. So, why do people tend to judge and sterotype someone based on their skin color? Why even in 2007, and despite of liberalism developing in the next generation, why do many other people remain so ignorant?

Simple We fear what we don't understand. And Basically our cultures are so different it is very difficult to understand. So people stay in their comfort zones and notheing ever gets accomplished when you are in your comfort zone.

Isn't racism usually associated with ignorance?No matter the intelligence of people, there are always those who have to feel superior and must have those they can look down to.Then again the media does report crimes, shootings, killings which are usually associated with whom? There isn't a day that CT media, TV or other, doesn't relate shootings, stabbings and muggings in black occupied sections of the major cities. This creates a stereotype which is difficult to overcome .Why then would you want to associate with these people? Racism? Prejudiced? Perhaps!

'pharisees(dont think of I spelled that maximum appropriate), and saducees confirmed prejudice in direction of every physique who wasnt a Jews.' it somewhat is whilst guy take it out of context and use it for conflict it somewhat is misinterpreted. And whoever takes anthing or provides something to Gods be conscious, would be judged in accordance to that still. The 'Pharisees' have been people who needed Jesus crucified, in case you examine the Bible, it additionally states 'do no longer' do issues by using fact the Pharisses do (examine in Matthew) Jesus enjoyed human beings of ALL international locations. i'm black too, and that i do unlike racism. nevertheless i do no longer think of its faith that one and started racism, it somewhat is guy, it grew to become into guy who did no longer like the colour of somebodys pores and skin, no longer God, it grew to become into/is guy who twists Gods be conscious to how he likes it.

People are still can't prevent themselves to judge colored people with race, ethnicity, or discrimination, especially in USA and Canada. Even Canada is a multicultural nation, it still occurs the segregation between whites and non-whites

Some people just can't control their hatred for other that have a different race then they. This is all because some some can't and don't accept others, and it's getting more obvious now in today's time.

Thats a sad part, especially racism which exists at levels you may not expect.. for e,g in academics , us coloreds will have less chances of getting scholarships and fundings compared to WASPs. Or even in housing, there exists discriminatory housing policies till today in bigger urban areas like NY.. america is a racist country, no one wants to admit it

They are not free thinkers they rely on the acceptance of their family and persons who ingrained this hate in them, they feel conformity unites them to these haters and they experiance a false sence of superiority and power. This is so in all races. May they grow a brain cell!

It's not ignorance, it's teaching, I live in the south and even when I was in High school the white kids sat together the black kids together and the few hispanic kids together, no reason it's just how we are.
