A Roman Catholic I be.

Evolution theory fails. I think it's ridiculous to believe that just because we look similar to another species that we must have came from an ancestor of them. There is no solid proof, only theory and opinion behind this claim.

Whilst it is plausible, I want some charts, graphs or something which proves so.

Also, druids.

There is a difference between liking or being friendly towards a person of another race, and actually not being racist, that is the point I have been trying to make. The truth is that racism is more defined by the ideaology of a race of people rather than there physical appearance, and that is what most people fail to see. Accepting someone because they look different is easy, but accepting someone because they think different is not.

Proof that you are racist? Only you have that.

I don't need you to tell me what racism is...I know what it is. And your point...was to accuse everyone of racism. I'm not. I've been around different people all my life. As I stated earlier...racism is taught. I didn't grow up in that type of environment. I am around people daily that don't think as I do....it's not hard to accept that either. I rather enjoy debating against conflicting thoughts....again, you haven't proven your point.:)

Are you like, an Amish man with a secret internet connection or something? (Yes I realise my irony.)

Prejudice is the generalisation of a race by the actions of one particular person and holding that as your own opinion about them

Racism is putting that opinion into action.

no, no, no...prejudice is not limited to race, but it's characteristics of a person.

I could have prejudices not only because your race, but the way you're dressed, the way you talk, walk, write.

If you have a country accent and I assume you're not smart, that's having a prejudice not related to racial features.

yes.. yes..yes! The topic is about racism, I was trying not to divert the context of the thread. I acknowledge that there are other prejudices.

Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true...

Proof? I'm tired of being accused of being racist by people that don't have a clue about me...or apparently the fact that racism stems from ignorance....erase the ignorance and racism can't and won't exist.

But if I were to accuse you of being prejudice sometimes (like we all are), you'd agree?

prejudice =/= racism though...so why would that matter? :?

I disagree.

They are not the same.

To have a prejudice is to assume something about someone with out knowing them.

To be racist is to think you're race is better/superior than others.

I could share the same race as another person, but have some prejudice or stereotype about them because the way they are dressed. How is that racism? For we'd share the same race and I'm not thinking my race is better than the other person.

I provided two seperate links with definition on racism. Both clearly state "prejudice based on race".

My teacher (a qualified indivdual) says otherwise. A website (which anybody can distribute among the viewing public) must be wrong then, by rational.

Islam is loaded with money anyway. Why can't they fund it themselves?
