I think you over simplify things... Most people that are truly racist are born into it. Someone has to teach it and its usually the parents.(Not always, but the majority) Racism is passed on thru the generations like a bad Gene..

We're all prejudiced to some extent. Rascists tend to act upon those prejudices whereas others don't hold it against one another.

Under the cloak of anonymity, more racism is seen on the internet than in real life, but it exists the same. Why are people rascists? I believe that it has to do with their upbringing and the environment. *shrugs* What can we do?

Bad people are bad people. I've been beeten up in a bad neighborhood just for being there. I've also been denied my rights and abused by white police. As long as the whole human race is inherently evil, who are we to judge?

<< Dude, those same Criminals would rob and brutalize anybody no matter what race they are. >>


If you hadn't have said it, I woulda. Race doesn't mean a damn thing when someone's looking for someone to rob.

As far as racism goes, I never see it aimed at my race from the outside. Allow me to explain, I live in an urban area and I associate with the Hispanic, Black, Asian and White poulation of my school, and I'm cool with them all. The only people I see that like to bother me about that is (forgive me for generalizing but it's what I've been subjected to) white people who are fall into the &quot;alternative&quot; catagory. You'd think that the group that the &quot;outsider&quot; would be the first to criticize, but the only people who bother me for being who I am are other white people. Weird, but it's something that I've noticed. I don't really care, anyone who judges for that reason has already lost any argument due to their ignorance.

As an experiment, what would be the best way to guarantee that racism remains alive and well within a Nation?

1. Reach back in time and find a group that has suffered injustice at the hands of the Majority. (pick one, there are many)

2. Make sure that this group is currently emancipated to preserve the integrity of the experiment.

3. Chose a group that has a proclivity toward laziness.

4. The experimental group should also retain within them unforgiveness toward the people in the past that had wronged them.

5. Over time, introduce and organization and corrupt leader that keep up in the face of the rest of the population, this wrong that was done long ago.

With these simple ingredients, any Political party that chooses to, can lead a group like this as a pig with a ring in his nose.

Forgive, forget and enjoy the freedom that you have to help all of us.....the healing must come from a forgiveness within the group that was wronged...you are Free.

I agree that it's sad that we still need AA in our society. Hopefully soon we won't need it anymore...that would be real nice. :)
