Color has nothing to do with how I feel about a person . If I like the person then I like them for who they are , not for what they look like , not for what color their skin is and not for what they can do for me . I have a niece who is from an interacial relationship and she is gorgeous . I often wonder what it is that others see about her that could not make them like her as she is beautiful , she has the color skin that others hope to achieve by tanning and yet she still gets picked on because she is not white and to me this makes no sence . How can you pick on someone for not being white yet try to achieve the same skin color . Color is only skin deep , it is what goes beyond that , that matters . You will find really nice people all over the world who all look completely different and you will find people from all over the world who are not very nice and the color of there skin is no indicator of what type of person they are or what kind of friend they could become . If one wants to judge someone based on color then they are the one's that are missing out on wonderful friendships or possibly more !!

i agree color has nothing to with it for you and i but from experience when renting houses depend on the color of your skin the price just got higher they did a program on the tv just to see. renting a house how was it done by land lord with a hidden camera he, up the price when a black person wanted to rent the place but when the white women went to rent the place he lower the rent he was called on his action he didn,t want to talk then to the news people,see wether we want to admit it are not prejudice is out there there is a lot people out there that don,t like people of color and they try to hide it are will not talk about it.

"All men are created equal." Is it Thomas Jefferson first used that phrase? Well, I agree with him. We are all created equal. All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights. God created all of us and we are all the same in the eyes of God. God himself is no respecter of person so I don't think anyone has the right to discriminate any race. This reminds me of this song we used to sing in the Children's Sunday School"--------------- "Jesus loves the little children All the children of the world Red, and yellow, black and white All are precious in his sight Jesus love the little children of the world!"

we was created in the image of god but we was not created equal that takes you back to slavery a black man was nothing to a white man and doing that time we as black people was not free until abraham licoln free the slaves.only when the laws was put in place was man suppose to be treated equal and that took a lot of deaths and voting.in god eyes we are all the same but back then we was not all the same and prejudice do exist wether we like it are not.

i dont think anything of it. it would be pretty ridiculous for a mexican girl having a problem with people of color because we arent white so there. people should be judged for who they are and not what they look like, and as they say looks can be deceiving.

im not saying that racism doesnt exist, but i am saying that i think its irrational when theres a person like a mexican that hates people of color or when theres a person who hates their own race. to me its just dumb. we're all the same and just because one person does something doesnt mean that everyone like that person does too.

People face prejudice everyday. It is disheartening that people will judge a stranger by their appearance but we all know that it happens. All we can do is try to avoid the urge to judge others and teach our children. Change doesn't happen over night but it does happen. If we teach our children to be better than we were, and they teach their children to be better than they were, good things can happen.

Definitely we are against racism. However, people who say they are not racists, subconciously does things that are racist due to human instinct which is to mix around with people they of their own kind.
