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 havent heard of any people that has happened to. It is not only the issue of slavery, but the lack of civil rights up until the late 60s, slavery isnt the only thing black americans are pissed off about. Many still think race plays a huge role in modern society. There are still lots of racist americans out there. Obama has to be shielded from bulletproof glass and there have been numerous assassination attempts by white supremacists so you cant say blacks arent justified in at least feeling a little threatened.
Theres black supremists too, neither side can or should claim that the other owes then anything.
Not true. There are many different characteristics that are scientiffically documented. It is not just differences in melatonin levels. It is eye colour, bone structure, muscle and tendon differences. They are clearlyt defined. If you think the only difference between whites, asians and blacks is skin colour then you are mistaken.
Sorry i was saying that from a creationist perspective, rather not get into that argument here, but i do think evolution or the idea of it has helped racism be more accepted.
It has nothing to do with creationsim or evolution. For example black people are on average taller than asian or caucasians. That is a racial characteristic. Doesm't matter what your religious belifs.
Theres black supremists too, neither side can or should claim that the other owes then anything.
There is a difference. Minority black supremacist groups for one thing do not represent the entire population of blacks. For another thing white people haven't suffered for hundreds of years as a result of black people which is the key difference.

I haven't done any thing, it's not my job to fix what people only distantly related if related at all to me have done, I mean if it was my dad I would see how i should fix it. But I think both sides need to grow up and realize the past is the past, the future and the present are and can be different.
The 3 Races thing is a flat out LIE. You can't classify Caucasians as all whites, Negro's as blacks/Africans (Not sure what you mean), and Asians as... Russians+Arabia+"Asian" areas+ Indian Subcontinent+Transcaucasia+Asia Minor?
That doesn't make sense, and according to scientifics not all people classified under the "Negro" (I'm guessing by that you mean black/african) branch of people have extra tendons.
Also if by "racism" your concerned only over prejudism over ones looks and body structure, then the only valid point against that is if your xenophobic. Besides that its all just prejudism. If you think of Racism as something wherein which you'd look at culture, ethnicity, race, blah blah blah. THEN it'd be what people mean when they say Racist.
Example: When I pointed out Africa a big fact of Africa is that they've fought for many years, I wasn't speaking of a main point in time or incident, but throughout history Whites (Europe) have battled each other over differences originating because of their country (Religion too, but not in all cases) and sometimes only their country. Fighting two people from a different country that are the same race as you isn't Racism, but people classify it as that. If Austria-Hungary (WW1) was around, and an Austrian and Hungarian fought, it would be racist according to some and not racist according to you, Woodi. That is confuzzling.
Example: Pakistan and India. They're both mainly the same people, but when they fight NOT over religious reasons its considered to be a racial outbreak.. But.. Again, Its not like one is white and the other isn't?
ANYWAY, I'm with Samy's argument (The one right above this post)

Personally i do not belive i am owed anything by any white person for pennance or anything like that, i am just explaining why calling someone a nigga or monkey is worse than calling someonne a cracker, because of the history behing it.
The 3 Races thing is a flat out LIE.
There is actual science behind this. Look it up if you can be bothered. The 3 primary races of ankind are negro, caucasian and asian.
s not all people classified under the "Negro" (I'm guessing by that you mean black/african) branch of people have extra tendons.
I never said they did, i just said that there are differences.

Firstly VERY few wars have ever been fought on a racial principle. The vast majority have been for other socio economic reasons not because peple were from different nations. WW1 started fir many reasons, the nationalistic nature of GBRBR and F, and of course the shooting of Franz Ferdinand.(in very brief terms) It was mainly caused by a build up of alliances. Never in any of the books i have read on the subject has race even come into it, you have just demonstrated your ignorance on this area of history.
Example: Pakistan and India. They're both mainly the same people, but when they fight NOT over religious reasons its considered to be a racial outbreak.. But.. Again, Its not like one is white and the other isn't?
Again i have never heard any newsman or any politician describe this conflict as a racial one. Religion and race are completely different, even if a certain religion is associated with a race. You are starting to sound a little but like Hitler claiming that religion is race just like he did with the Jews.
Religious persecution, is more prejudice, but I see how it can be called a race.
i am just explaining why calling someone a nigga or monkey is worse than calling someonne a cracker, because of the history behing it.
I'd agree but i mean wasn't cracker sort of a comeback for nigga?Also like I said before both sides need to get over the past, it's the best way for racism to be minimalised. And i do admit whites are more to blame, but again not todays whites.
i pretty much answered your question in the other thread, which by the way we should stop posting in as it is meant to be about bush and we went WAAAY off topic so direct all further race posts to here.

Alright, I think were both kinda concluding are arguments anyway...
All racism is wrong it is pontless discriminating against someone over something they can't change about themselves. However it is very hard to say your not prejudiced in some way. Just socially accepted prefucism like, being from england, prejudism towards germans (musn't mention the war) or the French( who are surrender monkeys)
p.s. not my views of course just examples of prejudices that seem to be quite accepted in regional areas.
N.B. sorry for repeating prejudice (and it's derivitives) so much.
Jonnypants, look at the references at the bottom. Yes, it can be rewritten by anyone, but it goes through extensive editing. The edits people make are reviewed.
The recent wars involving the US were not fought based on race. However, other wars with other countries, now and way back when, are.
If someone honestly is a racist, I disagree, but I respect their belief. If it gets to the point of harassment/lynching, I vote 'no', but anti-racism doesn't make sense. (Arguing with the racist isn't anti-racism. It's a debate.)
I would agree with that, but it's almost like if your aginst racism your, racist. For example I liked McCain I argued for him, I din't like him because he was white and I didn't not like Obama because he was black, but I got called a hater and racist for not liking him.
