Racism

Re: We are all racist by nature. I could not disagree more with that statement. Children that are brought up in homes where there is no racism, do not become racist. Children are taught hate. Very young children don't really even regard the differences between people as significant, anymore than they notice different hair or eye color. If people are brought up in loving environments, where culture differences are valued and respected, they will grow up with the same not-racist attitudes. To say, as another member did, that you are prejudice because of all the Black, Hispanic, Asian-crime, is so ridiculous. You must not look hard enough at white crime, because it is out there. The media tends to turn the focus to crime committed by minorities in this country. People commit crimes, not because of their race, but because of their circumstances. Some do because of poverty, or because of mental illness, or because they feel they have been wronged in life. And some commit crimes because they are just bad people. None of this is initially because of their race. Racism is ugly, and toxic, and definitely not something we are born with.

i have just posted racism thread yesterday too, it's about the picture of team spain, when they had a gesture showing the players using their fingers to apparently make their eyes look more Chinese. anywayz back to your post, yeah we also encountered racial discrimination, i remember when claire danes visited our country during the 90's she commented that our country have lots of rats, cockroaches & she said our country smells awful! then the government banned her even her movies are banned here in the philippines lol we should not have racial discrimination, coz we're all the same, we're all human & God created us equally. we eat, we sleep, we get tired, we breathe etc.. so what's the difference right? hehehe...

this is sensative question.today i think we have overcomed the problem of racism in most of the developed areas.but i think in india many feel that they are the precious sons of god .so they are more superior than others.in some other cases money plays a vital role.but on religious basis in islam there is noplace for racism.

I believe every single human being has the same worth. It is only by our actions that we degrade or exalt ourselves, no matter what colour or nationality we are. If we were all blind and couldn't see what anyone else looked like, we would have to judge others on their actions. That's the way it should be.

I think that in our attempts to make reparations for things that happened such a long time ago just strengthens racism. If we are to be equal we must all be treated equally. Why should white people be punished for what their ancesters did to black ancesters? There were white slaves before. Why does everyone always forget that? Every race has been a slave at least once in history. Reverse racism is so common these days and it is totally ignored. Why is it that it is ok for there to be a Black Entertainment Television, but it is considered racist if there was a white entertainment channel? THAT IS RACIST! And people never seem to notice the fact that there are anti-white hate groups too. Why is so much negative enegry directed at just whites? That is what I am wondering. Even Native Americans owned black slaves, even blacks owned black slaves. Seriously I think that it is ridiculous. I think if everyone stopped making such a big deal about race, it would no longer be such a problem. If people would stop pointing out differences, we would be able to see the similarities. Oh and another thing, how is it that white men are the only non-minority group? That makes no sense!!!!! There was a club at my school for minorities and anyone could join, unless they were a white male. That is discrimination!!!!! I am just so sick of everyones hypocrasy! I am just so sick of everyones drama. In everyones attempts to make things so fair and so equal that we just tipped the scale. Controversy, controversy...

Hi, since no one responded to this discussion for 4 months then no one in MyLot is a racist . Good thread really but it was directed to racists and I do not think that there are any here on MyLot as we are all here to meet new friends .

RAcism is everywhere including in one's own country.. It's something beyond one's control too thta thye like and dislike about a certain race.. But there are some ple whom are influenced to become racist.. IN my own opinion, i think those ple who are racist, are just plain jealous about their achievements, and think that they are so successful without putting in hard work, while they themselves have put in so much and got nothing in the end.. So all in all, those ple who are racist, refuses to admit defeat and they are ple with high ego.. lol

well im not a racist..not undercover or behind closed doors but i know that people i deal with on a daily basis are.the closeted kind at that ya know like the ones with friends of other races but the min something happens its blame the n****r or h****y i also have been the caring shoulder to many a broken spirit from both the comments and actions of racist people its sad we all live in the same world walk on the same dirt i hate that in some cases people feel race defines us..just wanted to throw that out there..its funny most people think that just because it isnt said out loud or in the company of..it isnt racisizm but how you are behind the curtain carrys over to how you treat people on stage.

I pity all racist people... Im not racist... this i know for sure caus ei see something beautiful in all racies... there is a story untold in the eyes of everyone.. && again i dont believe a race defines our capability to do something, the mechanisms of our body and how high our will is to overcome something.. Beauty isnt just in the skin.. it goes deeper.. I dont know why some ppl develop some superiosity when it comes to others. In my country, the whites and half whites are like that. I dont blame them that much anyways because the blacks have comfortable accepted their positions on the so called "Superior PYRAMID".. I for one know who i am.. and no one is going to change that.. Unfortunately for some people
