Are you Racist? How do you feel about people who are?

Question

How many people are actually racist? Why? Have you ever sat down and talked to someone from another race? I'm black and trust me I know there are alot black people that show their *** but have you sat down and talked to an average person that is not the stereotype black person? There is so much more to us than what the TV and media shows. Why do you hate other races no matter what the race.?

Answer 1

I think at one time or another in your life you could be considered racist given your life experiences.  But with ignorance you can become allot of things.  Once you get to know people individually you will like people for who they are and not think about race at all.

Answer 2

No one is born a racist, its something that they've learned from family, friends or even what the media portrays and sometimes their own ignorance and fear. People are so scared till this day to figure things out for themselves and like you said talk to someone from a different race. I am not a racist, and hating a whole race is so ridiculous because there's so many amazing people in this world you could be disconnecting yourself from.    

Answer 3

i'm no more racist than the next guy.

but i'm certainly not naive or a hatemonger. nor do i think the world is full of rainbows. i am realistic

what do i think about them?  i don't care. people can say what ever they want.

Answer 4

I personally am not racist.

I do, however, hold some bias towards certain people if that's what you mean.  

Everyone is guilty of that to some extent.    My bias wasn't learned at home, despite the fact that my abusive stepfather was of another race.

It was multiple experiences throughout my life that caused me to distrust, dislike, and fear certain people.    I would never generalize entire groups.    I can safely say, however, that as a biracial person who looks mostly white....I've had it pretty tough.  

People of all colors can be horribly cruel and racist towards me without realizing it.   I don't hate anyone because of skin color and other superficial sh*t...I hate people who cannot see beyond the color of MY skin.

Answer 5

some say i am some say i'm not apparently it's not really up to me, either way i don't hate anyone period it drains me and if i were to hate anyone again it would be a person not a people, they would to do something uncommonly nasty to get that reaction outta me. how so i feel about those who are? quite simply it's their choice and they're free to make it be it to hate or no, if people are denied that option the entire point in choosing not to be racist becomes moot

Answer 6

i never dislike a person based on their race.  

Answer 7

no im not and the people who are should be ashamed of themselves because we are here to be peaceful to each other not to make fun of each other

you know God doesn't like that

Answer 8

Technically I am but I don't hate every other race. It's more a dislike for certain people...

Answer 9

In my view everyone at one time or another is racist. It just depends on degree. Some are a lot more than others. Everyone generalizes at some point another, even if they don't speak it. Just my view.

Answer 10

everybody is a little racist on the inside

Answer 11

allright here, i know what u mean. i didnt finish reading ur answers but idc. i'm sorry

i'm not racist cuz racism is a technical definition. but i do once in a while tend to prefer some other men to date. lately like brown ones. but it's also, i guess wrong, to come up with something from the narrow amount of people u just met. u know?

have a nice day!

Answer 12

Everyone is racist or bias , or discriminate against race, color or creed . Sometime people do it without realizing it . However anyone on this blog that say they are not  they  are lying .  

Answer 13

Well yes I'm a little racist; every black person would understand.. I dont hate them as I dont hate anyone but I dont really like them.. I get really emotional when I see the shows of how they abuse & treat the slaves It hurts me so bad.. whenever I see white people they just upset my spirit so I try to avoid them..  

Answer 14

Honey let's get real here. Every person in this world have a bit of racism in them.....bd

Answer 15

Catherine L said it all.  I believe racism doesn't necessarily mean hating someone based on their race; I believe it is more of the singling out of a race from others, in both a positive or negative way.  

Answer 16

I think too many people confuse hatred with just not being able to identify with each other what that reason is can be a hundred different things. I believe most races of people if given the choice would rather live and go to school with people of their own racial background.
