Getting on well with other nationalities

Maximax8, racism is just a part of the world that we live in. I am a Black woman from the United States of America. It is quite multicultural here. But as a Black woman, I have a very unique history. My ancestors were brought to the United States from Africa centuries ago. This is a part of my history. Not everyone can relate. In my analysis, racism is associated with power. Not everyone accepts people of color. After slavery, The government had to establish a plan, involving politics to help the displaced, victimized Blacks. Some of the political changes involved giving Blacks the right to vote, giving us educational opportunities, and ensuring civil rights through legislation (having the ability to sit in the front on a public bus without fear of arrest and so on. I wrote earlier in an earlier post, that a place is not just a place, but an attitude. With that history, Blacks have had to find themselves as well as survive. The United States of America is a place that slavery built and the constitution founded. For the most part, not every country has been a place where Blacks have been given the opportunity to be adequately socialized into communites, allowing tolerance, friendships, and educated attitudes to develop. Even some immigrants to the United States need sensitivity training with respect to those with negative attitudes due to misconceptions they may have about Blacks. Unfortunately, if you watch the news in the United States, and are living through the current economy, being Black is quite a challenge when seeing images on some daily news programs as well as being in the competition to earn a living, which Blacks often struggle through due to historical and demographic set backs. As far as football matches are concerned, I used to work at stadiums and security along with police are there to protect people. Even though the ratio of spectators to security/police does not always make for a safe zone.

I think perhaps there should be fines at football games for such things and stiff punishments. It's sad that these things happen. But there are just so many people who are racist against different nationalities. It was a good decision for the team to not go to that country. People are ignorant and at times stick with their prejudices that they may have been raised with.

It is very kind of you. I don't like the race discrimination. It doesn't matter that people have different color of their skin. The world will be peaceful if all the people accept to each other even if they have different race, religion and so on. I love China

I have had a chance to interact with people of other nationalities thanks to my overseas visits, as well as some people's India visits, where I interacted with them. May be, If I had met them personally, I might have faced issues. However, work wise, I have not had difficulties so far.

I think that anybody who discriminates based on the nationality of somebody else is pathetic, and I hope that they get what's coming to them. You should never hate somebody based on who they are or where they come from, because that is not their fault at all, and their place of origin cannot determine what they are like as people. I always make my mind up about people based on what they have done to me personally, and I will always reserve judgement untilI have proof about the people in question.

In here, people love to be fair even though their skin is not white, not black. Many guys don't like black people just because of their skin. I really don't understand why like that. I don't mind with skin colors, as long as that person is a good guy. I have many friends who have dark/black skin and they are very kind to me while some white guys are not really good at all. We can't judge people just by seeing their skin, it is not fair.

Why are people racist? Because they are small minded, inadequate and ill informed? Because they run with a pack of bigots and are afraid to stand apart? Because they have been brought up in a household full of racists and know no better? There are as many reasons as there are racists. Football seems to have attracted the worst type of violent thug. They work in packs and are there for the violence rather than the football. Bar exclusion from all events and the whole area, and a heavy security presence, I really don't know how to solve this problem.

Hi Maxine, I also hate racism. Humans should not be judged by their color of skin. Under the skin color of the blood of a white and a black person is the same. Hatred ruins humanity. Hitler made genocide on the Jews because of hatred. We have to change our mindset. All colors are awesome. Nature is the combination of various colors. So colorful nature is so beautiful. In America once blacks were slaves and the white people treated them as animal. But time changed. Now white Americans accepted black Obama as their President. I hope all over the world good sense will prevail over the evil thoughts.

I suppose that it does not the problem to get along with friends from all over the world.It is no boundries,isn't it? Everywhere has its own culture and just get to know more and i think it will help us change the idea.Just flow it.
