In today's world people aren't seeing more than the skin's color or the religion!!! Before doing that we should all remember that we are all humans and the color,religion,etc it´s just superficial and tat we are more than that!!! Maybe some people should think about it before picking on the only black boy at schooll!!!

There's 2 difference that people see between black and white and I don't think the world is about to change or be any different even if you want it its always been like this racist and war, people even kill each other even if they are white maybe they want others land or hate each other because 2 different nations.

We should always remember that as long as there are different colored humans, someone will think they are superior to the other colors. When they see a lot of people around them that are the same color, they see them as brothers and sisters, but when they see someone different they dont like it. Humans cant accept each other.

Controversial but true: The averages of various measurable attributes across different ethnicities and races actually do differ. This includes things like muscle mass and 'intelligence'.

This is not grounds for racism: We must remember that those attributes are valued, not constitute value in themselves, so there's no link to supposing that any race is inherently superior than others because of this.

I have heard that too Strop but people will always use it in a bad way. I heard that black people such as myelf have slightly different tendons in their legs which enables them to run faster. However people will use this to come out with racist jokes like why ae all black people fast cos the slow ones are in prison. As long as people are different then there ill always be some people who dont like certain groups. It is human nature and yet in this da and age tat is not an excuse for that type of behaviour. I think these differences in attributes are good because people should be proud to be different not abused for it. That type of social darwinism where different races of humans are ranked is dangerous as it can lead to dangerous thinking. Hitler belived in it and it is one of the reasons he wanted to exterminate the Jews as he thought they were inherently inferior.

I heard a comedian say the other day:

"Black people are some of the fastest people in the world, except for when they encounter a street. They will walk slower than a sloth in a crosswalk."

I thought that was pretty funny.

But woody and Strop have it right on. It is human nature to see such differences in other races, it is just the extent to which we use those notions.

I don't really care if someone is black or white,it doesn't really matter to me.Maybe the reason for this is that dad is black and my mom is white,I don't know,but it shouldn't make a difference to anyone else.What matters is on the inside (i'm sounding like mr.rogers here)

Skin colour is linked to your genes. Religion is linked to your mind so if you believe that the world will end in 3+4 years from a rapture, you really need a reality check.

^^If you are going to post in this forum, at least be serious, thanks!

Well, the question that stands, is, Is there a difference between black and white people? Well physically, yes. Black people almost always have black hair, brown eyes, bigger lips, (Not totally sure on that one) etc. White people are diverse because of all of the melting of different white cultures.

Now phsycologically, there is no huge differences that come to mind. It is in human nature to think differently of different colors. It's just how it is in recent society. So to me, there is no difference except in appearance.

WHAT???? thegreatgamesback, what are you saying. see this is what i hate about a lot about people. like ive been told by many people when i was in school, Asian power!! i hate it when they say that. and then they pick on me and discriminate me from my race, Egyptian. we live in a kinda ghetto place and they live about 3 miles from our neighborhood. they were rich and pick on me so much. but now the other "africans" heard what they were saying and make fun of their race. you see that every thing revolves around race. that gets me mad. and it all starts with saying like this race is better. i hang out with a lot of "africans because i live in a place were there are a lot of them. i see them as regular people. but when we go in other neighborhoods, they look at us, expecting us to steal or something!! this is what also gets us mad!!!!!!!!!

You must also keep in mind, alot of these "first impressions," are off of stereotypes. THe stereotype for black people are usually criminals, asians are brainiacs, spanish people are illegal or criminals and white people are snobs.

Stereotypes are NEVER to be used to judge an entire race. Those stated above are not 100% true. There are white criminals, black brainiacs, etc.

^^You obviously don't understand what I said. I said those were the stereotypes for those races. Stereotypes are mental models that influence the way in which we perceive others and the world.

I was just stating what the sterotypes were, and I also said that they aren't true! Please understand a post before making false accusations......
