This subject makes me think: Why people are racists if everyone is human? Black, white, Chinese etc... All human people. Yet some insist in making racist comments, excluding different people, talking trash about them. And I am talking not only in cultures. I am talking also in religion, life style and such. Racism everywhere and directed to everyone that is different. Makes me sick. And you?? Tell me what you think by posting a comment.
I believe racism will never end for some small simple facts. Now people are under the impression that everything is a racist remark and this creates friction between all societies. Also being white I do not understand why black people can say the N word and it not be classed as racist this has always been above my head and if there is anyone who can explain this I would be very greatful.
well us whites didint dtart the raceisom it was the african amaricns
.
Dude two things that I have to say for you:
1- It does not matter who started racism, people from different cultures are racists with people from another cultures. White, black, yellow, Chinese, English, Portuguese, all people in the world, etc... Those people are or could be, or always were racists. There is racism and it is not black people only to be racists. Two weeks ago (in my school) one friend of mine was discussing one thing with a black dude. So my friend got angry and called him black sh#$%. I have censored the word by the way. My friend is white. So you see all people could be racists, make racists comments etc...
2- You need to write better because I had some hard time understanding your post.
Racism will never end entill God comes ect.... But for now I think racism cause from grudges. Like when the Japonese attacked pearl habor in america.So when the americans saw this they said 'Hey those were japonese!And some are in america!'Then they started hating japonese and excluding them from shops and making them live in thees closed in houses. Actully I dont know if that was said but I think thats what I would say if another country came and bombed one of our ports . (No im not a bit racist) After americans bombed japan it still took alittle for the americans to see that the japonese were fine and they stopped being racist towards them (atleast some did).
Gametesta is probably (i hope) refferring to racist jokes, which, admittedly can be funny. Some of course cross the line, but i think we would live in a perfect world where everyone would be able to laugh at each other and have a sense of humour about it. If this is what gametesta meant then i agree with him although his phrasing left a lot to be desired.

Racism is based mostly upon fear. We find security in people similar to us in both appearance and culture. We fear those who are somehow different from us in those same attributes. It is easier to "stick with our own," because we understand that better. It is riskier to reach out and try to understand peoples whose culture and appearance are different from our own.
I believe that this is an instinctual "leftover" from more primitive times. Humans tended to survive better when we banded together with those that gave us a better shot at survival. These would be people who more-or-less looked like us, and acted in a manner we could relate to. We tended to distrus those who looked different and acted wierd, as they were "outside our pack" in very much the same way that pack animals today operate.
In a defendish way (Not that I am defending the person that said this) Racism can be funni here and there.
I've been hurt with racist remarks all my life, believe me, I'm not your regular white USA American. Lol
But for most of you I'm sure you've always met people that you can just joke about on a topic involving race or a little remark here and there that you can both laugh at taking no offence with.
I mean, we had a kid in school, he was asian, and he was the greatest soccer goali we had. We started to call him "Asian Sensation" as a joke. No big deal.
I personally find Racism ftw as long as no one gets hurt/ you use it as an insult.. Then its completely different.
Also, everyones a little racist (on the subject of choices, your friends, Gfs'/BF's, Etc.)
