You don't need to consciously feel superior in your mind.. to be a racist. And racism is not a good or bad thing. It's a "just is" thing. Whatever real benefit it has to the human species remains oblivious to any form of logic reason.. but certainly the behavior wouldn't exist if it didn't have a benefit to our survival in some form or another.Racism is not a good thing. And not everyone is racist. Again...that is an argument made to justify one's own racism. I am not racist. I know others that are not racist. Once you get out in the world and interact with people that aren't carbon copies of oneself.....you notice them for people. Just like one self. I completely agree with you there, BTW EMOEVOLUTION you need to stop assuming you know everything about how people feel or think as if you could read their minds or have everything figured out, you are only 25.[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"]
[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Well now that is an assumption usually used to justify racism. I take people on an individual case. There is good and bad in every group. I do not feel a sense of superiority based on my race. I don't even think about race in daily operations. Seems silly to me to base opinions on that.LJS9502_basic
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="gamerguru100"]
[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.
Um...I already live with other races. :| My city is 77% Caucasian and 23% non-Caucasian (African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc.)Even Jesus? :owouldnt say everyone's racist
if anything,....everyone has a bit of prejudice in them

I hate to be racist, but I am a little bit towards certain people. I won't say too much about it, but I've had bad experiances happen to me recently, mainly from a certain group of people, although I really use to not be racist at all, because of what happened I'm a bit more racist towards those kinds of people.

What about the huge amount of people in the world that mixed...aka mutts :?
Indeed isolation would not work especially now. It would also damage the economies of the different countryies.
Anyway this thread is doing pretty well, I have seen no real blatant hatred. It used to be different.
That often what they say, but tell me exactly what is the "double standards and BS" you refer to?Here are some examples: The assumption that only whites can be racist, but non-whites cannot.[QUOTE="the_new_guy_92"][QUOTE="gamerguru100"]I complain about political correctness because it's full of double standards and BS. :|gamerguru100
Non-whites can have certain clubs, scholarships, organizations, etc. Yet if any such thing is established for whites, it's deemed "racist".
The belief that whites cannot be a victim of racism, and that only non-whites can be a victim.
The belief that only non-whites can be proud of their race, but if whites are proud of their race, it is deemed "racist".
I knew you would say that (he probably did too), and every one of your points is wrong. I have never heard anyone assume that any group cannot be racist. There are scholarships for every group in the world, including whites of certain nations, etc. White's can be victims of racism or hate crimes, and I have never heard anyone say otherwise (I think you may be thinking that because it happens so infrequently). And lastly, go to Chicago and go to the various ethnic neighborhoods, there are groups being proud of their race from Poland, Germany, France, etc. Well, they are proud of their country, but as far as anyone is concerned it's the same thing as being proud of your race.I guess this whole thread now revolves around bashing me for my statements.

Call down people disagree sometimes, don't take it personal. If you really believe in what you say defend it, now your just whing like a kid.
I doubt that. Though I find the idea that people should only be exposed to the same ethnic background limiting and unrealistic. And uninteresting as well.I guess this whole thread now revolves around bashing me for my statements.

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.
Xx_Hopeless_xX
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..
Racism is feeling superiority of a whole race or hatinf because of someones race. If you hate, for example, muslim terrorist groups, that is not racist. Or if you hate an individual for causing problems, that is not racist.
But if you go the whole way and announce that you hate all (insert race) or something along the lines of that, then yes, that is racism.
For example, I hate the Westboro Baptist Church as a group. Their ideologies are pathetic and have no idea what they are talking about them. I just hate that as a group.

Well, a group..while not racism...generalizing and hating everyone of said group isn't right either..

I don't generalize and hate all groups. There are just some groups whos ideologes I don't agree with. If they take those ideologies to another level, then yes, I will not like them.

Well, ok..just thought you meant it was ok to hate those people JUST because people say they're part of a "group"..
I make racist jokes all the time amongst my ethnically diverse friends and that Im superior for being white lolz I dont mean any of it, but it makes for good comedy
Probably. I mean, i do see general differences in attitudes, preferences, etc between races as much as i see them between genders, and between one person and the other.
I'm racist. Well, as racist as the next person. I don't care what the most liberal person will sa about how they're not racist. Everyone has some prejudices against a particular culture and/or people even if they don't know it.
I think ones "race" and "racial culture" is unimportant, and that one need not have an interest in it if they don't want to. I've seen some people of certain races get mocked by people of their own race because they arn't interested in certain parts of the culture. Overall I don't see any point of being proud of your race, either. I don't see a point in being proud of something you had no choice in.
I try not to be, but I can be racist against Hispanics until I talk to an individual and he or she proves to me through conversation that they are worth my time. It's an unfortunate result of many negative past experiences and I continue to experience new ones on an almost weekly basis.
I think everyone is, to some degree, racist in their thoughts and/or actions.
I have said a few racist things in my time.daqua_99
I once had an argument on Usenet with a guy named Grendel. He was very cynical and a strong believer in free market capitalism.
I can quote you exactly what Grendel said to me:
"Hate to break it to you bub but racists are not a minority. The vast majority of human beings have some type of bias. Be it racism, bigotry, sexism, religious superiority, political superioroty or they just may not like blonde people.
Yes, ethnocetrism, racism, bigotry, sexism, religious and political superiority are human traits, and there's not a thing you can do about it. Most humans will think they are better than some person or some group. Most think they are smarter than another. Most think they are better looking than another. And those that proclaim loudly that 'no group is any better than the other' have a bias that they are more 'enlightened' than the rest of humanity.
It's the human condition, there's nothing you can do about it. You can not legislate morality and no amount of legislation is going to change a personal trait. You can only strive to set a better example.If a man really hates Irishmen, no amount of legislation that Congress can pass is going to make that man think, "Hey, those Irish Bastards ain't so bad.
The Myth that you can legislate how people think or how people feel is just another **** delusion of the mental dissorder that is liberalism."
Although I didn't like his cynical tone, I believe Grendel is absolutely right here.

Grendel has no first hand knowledge of what other's believe. The most that Grendel...or anyone else for that matter can say....is they have racist etc views.It's only those that harbor racist thoughts that cannot believe that other individuals do not feel the same as themselves. In short.....Grendel is wrong.
I'm a white American male, I'm not racist at all.
However, I do think NAACP is going too far anymore. I'm all for equality of the races, and believe in the things Martin Luther King suggested in his excellent speeches. The NAACP should exist because there are a share of white racists around, but it seems they jump on everything, ridiculous.
At this point, I think people of color tend to go a bit too far concerning the slavery issue. The grandfathers and grandmothers of most young blacks definitely deserve some consideration for reparations for the ridiculous crap my race put them through in the 50's, 60's and prior to that.
But African-Americans growing up today have opportunities their grand-parents didn't have, and its high time we realize things are much closer to equal than ever. Not completely, but close.
President Obama is half-black, half-white, so when you consider he was always treated as a minority, I believe African-Americans have arrived. I think white people do not need to apologize for slavery anymore (noone alive was a slave or a slaver), lets just all try to be on the same team.
