thats a good point. i think that sub conciously or conciously you group yourself with people who are similar to you and you do discriminate no matter how subtly they are. i have loads of black friends but ino that i still have prejudices and i know that they do to but it dnt affect freindship unless the person is a full on racist prick
its a lot less socially acceptable to be racist plus with the amount of fucking the races doing now color aint gone be a big difference in 100 years. but there are always haters in all walks of life.
i dunno sum ppl ave made racism less os an issue martin luther king, eminem. but its stil goin on so... i aint sure
[quote:4648600626="pDunk"]i think it always existed and always will i think its more subtle now than 40 years ago but people still dont trust people who are different from them[/quote:4648600626] Its called fear... Something our country lives off of... FEAR... Fear the blacks cause they are different... Elect Bush b/c you FEAR the terrorist.... Fear is all our country knows.... Hate Gay marriages cause they are different and we FEAR different... I am the only white girl in my circle of friends.... Do I care... HELL NO!!! I wouldlnt have it any other way..... I love that my friends have accepted me... And I gladly except them.... Racism is ignorance.... If you are racist you are an uneducated PRICK.... What drives me crazy are when ppl use the excuse that they were raised to be that way... Cause I mean I really live in a serious southern state.... That is the shittiest excuse... Are you meaning to tell me you were raised to be a uneducated Prick? And even if your parents are these so called "pricks" they you couldnt see the wrong in it? You cant form your on thoughts and beliefs... FUCK THAT!!! I did!!! My parents are "pricks". I made my own choice and I would never take it back... Okay I am stopping now I feel like I am ranting.... Love to all... :wink:
some people are brought up in societys where racism is common and so theyjust take on their views. im not at all racist but i definateyl have prejudices whether they are concious or not some of my friends who are white have had fights, incidents with black guys and have come out of it hating them as a whole which i think is wrong. what i will say is that i see more racism from black people to white people than the other way round. and alot of white on asian racism but not much white on black and asians generally just get picked on which is disgusting i feel that i av ranted to. sorry safe
In the U.S. racism is such a huge historic issue that it still exists. Racism didn't just go away after 300 years of slavery. The colonial plantation systems affected the U.S. just the way the Spanish killing off the Aztecs and the Mayans in South America. Those influenced changed how everyone live forever. That being said, most people hide their prejudices under the surface a lot better than they used to but all kinds of prejudice, hatred and racism still exist in the world.
very true bout people hiding their predjucies better i gota question, obivously calling someone a black bastard is worse than calling someone a ginger bastard, but why? they are both features which can be used to discriminate. i think callin someone sumit racist is worse but i couldnt ansa why. any answers? safe
To me its all equally bad. To many people though its worse because of historical reasons. Because whites oppressed blacks for so many years racism coming from white people to black people is considered heavier and more sinister.
