Can't we all REALLY just get along? All cultures are beautiful arent they? Why is it so hard for some to understand?

I agree being of a multi cultural background myself i find to many ppl are wasting energy on racism when they should concentrate on their own lives. perhaps most of it is jealousy towards a culture that posses a beauty that some can not have perhaps its simple stupidity and boredum that brings them to it, in any case, youd think after all this time ppl would simply stop and talk to someone they feel these feelings towards. only then will it be erased, that color, creed, culture, or where you come from will nto matter anymore. but until then we each do our part to work on it. well some of us do.

Racism is often deeply set in one's mindset, and is often learned since infancy. It can be difficult to uproot, like a nasty, hardy weed. To come out of racism requires a totally new and different way of thinking, and also requires coming to the realization that one is very wrong. It is very humbling. I believe that racism is a learned behavior that can be overcome with hard work, perserverance, and tenacity.
