scream scream scream scream scream

Racist are such idiots they dont have respect for others!
Even if i am an white person i hate being confront with racist!
Its so mean!  

[Kinta the Skank]

I don't claim to understand the workings of someone with racist attitudes, or ideals, but nor do I try and defend them from their actions. I do have to say, though, that a good majority of the racist community (though I'm sure many don't speak out) were raised to hate certain races and/or religions. I myself had been raised to be afraid of African Americans myself - My father learned from his father, and thus taught me the same. Though I am no longer racist, even if I was taught to be afraid of "the black man" when I was a child, I am not trying to condone racism. Just in my opinion, it's a matter of what one learns to believe, not what one chooses to believe.  

[Thanatos Phoenix]

I truly believe in a free speech society and it won´t be that if the racists arn´t aloud to speak their mind....

I know that they are idiots but thats the deal with free speech and democracy unfortunately....  

[Iconised Ghost]

what ppl believe is entirely up to them. its how they act on these beliefs that worry me sometimes  

[Aitoyoru]

Well, yeah; racists are asses. But they also have rights to their opinions as human beings. Also, Kinta is right. Many people have it ingrained in their head that another race/religion is bad due to past generations.  

[c r o i s]

Although racists have opinons,
our culture here in America,
was based by immigrants coming in from different countries.

Without it, we might not have the diffrences here.

Or maybe it's just racists are afraid of a certain race.  

[love_waffle]

it really can be annoying  

[Kirika7777]

well, I come from Europe. we have seen how racism ends: in Auschwitz...
yes, it was racism, because the Nazis thought they are of a better race than the Slovians, the Jews and so on...
so no racism allowed!  

[MonsieurSponge]

I say don't judge and you won't be judged yourself. [Most of the time. People still mock me for being so white] xd sweatdrop emo  

[Alucard76]

we really cant do anything about in the long run, because racisim has been around for centuries, its not somethin that can be killed off so easly  

[Dana Pixie Stix]

Lol.

Racist against racists.  

[Hawaiian_Gurl]

I cant stand Racist people who start to sterotype other Race,Gender , even there religions for no damn reason .  

[angel_half82]

The only reason they do it is because they were taught to do it. Its a vicious cycle.

Kinda like Dog fighting. Dogs aren't born mean they are taught to be mean.  

[Verderbnis]

I have to admit, that I have some "prejudices" against certain groups, religions and people. But instead of judging them to something worse, I leave them a chance to prove themselves.

Racism lead to the biggest crimes in history. It all has to end.

racism is only hatred of another race.

gender discrimination is called sexism ((or once was, i think we're moving more towards 'gender discrimination' due to ppl thinking sexism is only towards women)) and hatred of someone based on religion is generally referred to as bigotry, although to be a bigot really means you hate all viewpoints/people/ideas/religions other than your own.

the worst part about stereotypes is how people claim that they are "based in truth" when the majority of the time they were based on propaganda put forth by whatever group originally had a problem with the other group.

for example, the whole stereotype of black people either being drug dealers or drug users comes from anti-marijuana propaganda from WAY back in the jim crowe days of blacks using marijuana and then going on "reefer madness induced fits of rage" and raping white women.

did that ever happen? probably not, but there were television and print ads about it and even psa-style movies ((like the ones in gaia cinemas)).

its ******** sad that people still think that way, but then again, people still think cleopatra the 8th was a slut thanks to octavious even though she wasn't. sweatdrop

also, i'm all for free speech and all that, but there's a difference between hate speech ((which is speech w/ the purpose of inspiring hatred or violence towards a group)) and free speech, and i for one am happy that the law ((for the most part)) does make that distinction.

people need to understand that the founding fathers weren't infallible and never meant for the constitution to be set in stone. the law must evolve with the times, and they understood that. ((this is why we're allowed to amend the damn thing.))

oh, and here's a funny little tidbit, did you know the declaration of independence has a racial slur in it? oh yes, it does! 3nodding also, the original california constitution had slurs against chinese people, and laws saying to throw them out of any town, establishment, bar, etc.

times change, rights and laws and responsibilities should, too. xd

but yeah, in short, racists suck a**. i'm all for equality all around! heart
