I take a view from Men in Black "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
I may generalise about race at times, but I judge each person on their individual merits.

I cant believe that some people actually think that the answer to removing racism is segregation and that each race should keep to itself

I think it's a weak quote personally, because it tries to sound clever but it only points out how people don't take responsibility for their own mistakes. I seen plenty of individual people who panic, are dangerous and are indeed, dumb.

Well, excuse the crap out of me for stating my opinions.

Opinions can't be incorrect or correct :o..they're subjective and based on someones personal perception of a given situation :x!
Of course everybody is a racist.. to varying degrees. But the important thing is to be aware of your natural prejudices so you can over come them and learn from different groups of people without alienating them and inflicting damage on them. And in conclusion I hope I don't get in trouble for my brutal honesty.EMOEVOLUTIONNo not everyone is racist to any degree. You seem to confuse opportunities with racism. Feeling good that one lives a certain way does not mean that one is racist. Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior. Not that a country has a higher quality of life nor that one has better opportunities.

I find racism really really sad/pathetic. Whenever i see or hear when i dont get angry or defensive or w/e i just feel so sad for them. Does anyone else feel like this?
I also find pride in race/ethnicity sad too (e.g. white pride, black pride, asian pride etc).
And the idea of 'race' is sad too.
So pretty much anything relating in this area, i find it sad.

Nothing exists that doesn't have a reason for existing and if you eliminate it without considering what you're reallying doing based on idealism and morality.. who knows where you'd end up.[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"]

Thats your opinion...Telling someone not to be a racist is not a bad thing. The reason it exists is because people haven't seen/don't try to get along with other races better. It's ignorance.
Hating individuals or groups is normal. Feeling superiority over one race or discriminating against others solely on their race is ignorance.
I am a racist in the sense that I believe that people of different race have some different traits (mostly physical) and are unique in their own way. They have their own unique flaws and advantages.
And yes sometimes I generalise but the generalisations I may sometimes make are not of the offensive type (at least not the ones that are completely and blatantly offensive - I am clarifying because any generalisation may seem offensive to a person from said group of people) and I generally dont make them to justify some bad impressions I may have about that group of people. In fact I cant even say that my generalisations are based on clearly negative traits of a race.
But I am not racist, in the sense that I dont believe that any race is inferior or superior to another or that a specific race deserves more than another race.

I didn't say it was a bad thing.Let's say I just hate anything related to police/army/soldiers except guns and their assets such as vehicles/tech.
Any kind of army/police triggers my anger button, I don't know why, I'd literally kill them all if I could and won't be arrested for it. MAYBE ITS THE FRIGGIN UNIFORM.
Note: I've never killed anything except some bugs :P so maybe I'm half psychotic, I won't/don't harm any animals.
You know, I have to agree with you. If all of the races/ethnic groups were in their own countries, there would be virtually no racism.[QUOTE="Phoenix6359"]
I suppose I would be seen as such, I am a White Nationalist which basically means that I want a country for Whites only. I have no problem with other races having their own countries nor do I have a problem with non-whites in general, I have a problem with the fact that by 2050 Whites will be a minority in our own countries and by 2100 we will be just about extinct. I do not see Whites as superior I mearly see the need for Whites to have their own country/countries as every other race does.

The list could go on and on. A country should be populated by only its indigenous ethnic group to avoid racism, ethnic discrimination, and racial double standards. The short list I provided above is how those respective countries/regions/continents should be made up in terms of their ethnic composition.
To be honest, I think racial and ethnic diversity is very cool, but also very overrated.
If we kill all poor people there would be no world hunger!Seriously. Worst idea ever. 99% I could understand, many countries are like that. 100%? I don't know of any country in history that had it that high, except maybe North Korea.
Maybe you can just learn to live with other races, it wouldn't kill you.

Woah woah...Hating a group is normal?...Isn't that basically the idea of racism..i mean..you hate them for what they are...and you think you're better then they are..
You form a preconcieved notion because they belong to whatever group..and you generalize/stereotype them and then hate them based on that..
[QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"]I hate you all equally. :|LJS9502_basicYay. You don't like anyone better.:P
Yeah but he hates me more so HA! :P
