Have you ever been a racist then changed your ways

Question

And what made you think you shouldn't be that way anymore?. I don't want to hear from current racist people.

Answer 1

I used to be racist against Hispanics, mainly because a lot of the Puerto Ricans I saw tried to act as if they were Black and I hated the Blacks whom acknowledged that A LOT more. I realized that not all Hispanics are like that due to me making some nice Hispanic friends on myspace and meeting some cool Hispanic people in real life. None of the Puerto Ricans back then messed with me since I am HALF BLACK and I was 6"4 210 lbs back then, plus a football player, I am 6"5 now. I just thought those Puerto Ricans were pathetic for acting like that. Now I am changed, I like people of all races, I like Hispanics because instead of meeting Hispanic girls online that were rude and just bad, I met some Hispanic people online that were truly awesome people and I know there are more good Hispanics out there.

I like all races but I like Blacks and Asians just a bit more since I am Black and Japanese mixed lol!

Answer 2

No, people in this world should live and let live, then the world would be a better place to live.

Answer 3

the world is a strange place, when i was a child, the whole country was racist, including the government.

in fact, one of the conservative party slogans was, 'If you want a ni66er for a neighbour, vote Labour'

it all seemed normal back then and acceptable.

times however have changed and black people, asians and all types of races, have entered our communities and integrated with us.

I personally was a racist through lack of knowledge and believed as did most people that we were perfect and everybody else was slightly less than perfect.

these days. after living in london and employing all nationalities and mixing with every concievable race, i have changed and realise that people are people, no matter where they come from and no matter what they look like. Some are good and some are bad and the colour or nationality doesn't even come into it.

A real close and good friend of mine is nigerian and as black as coal in his features his name is 'precious', and he is certainly precious to me.

younger people than me have not been bought up with the same views so they believe that racism is something that is in you or not and that it can never be changed but i beg to differ. we can all be wrong and even if it takes half a lifetime to correct and see the error of your ways then it means that there is still some good in you.

i hope so anyway.

and for all the things i have said and done in the past, i would like to offer my sincere apologies and let people from all over the world know that you are welcome into my world.

I used to be P.C. and then changed my mind after my girlfriend was severally beaten by a ________-.  

Answer 5

Hmm. I used to only wanted to hang out with white people. I thought the really dark skin was gross. Actually, it was never really about the race, it was more about the overall look. Like, if you were white and ugly, I would still hate you, and if you were black, mexican, asian, etc.,  and pretty, I'd try to be your friend. I don't really know what made me change my "ways". I was like 9 when I stopped. I guess I stopped selecting friends based on how they looked.

Still, I am probably a little racist. (Oh, don't pretend like you're not.) I still like a lot of racist jokes and stereotypes. I find them hilarious.=] That's going to be sticking around for a while. Don't ever take that away from me, you PC freaks! I mean, er, special, unique people.

Answer 6

Modern society has hijacked the word 'racist', and contorted it to mean any single thing that is said about people of a different race, is racist. It's rubbish.

You can't even sing Baa Baa Black Sheep anymore, or write on a blackboard - the PC mob have made people go bonkers.

I can have a laugh about things without being a racist - I'm Welsh and don't mind any Welsh jokes you may have. Same for most Irish jokes - everyone knows Irish people aren't daft, and those Paddy and Mick  jokes are just jokes.

Real racists are the people who kill or intimidate purely on the grounds of race, not the people who may tell a joke or say something politically incorrect.

For example - the n***s' persecution of the Jews; muslim persecution of Jews; Ku Klux Klan; genocide in Africa and the former Yugoslavia etc.

The left-wing brigade have done it again.

Answer 7

Each and every one of us has made a racist remark one way or another.Sometimes its done without thinking.

Answer 8

racists never change...

Answer 9

I'm in my 40's and I guess I was racist as were the vast majority of people given that certain jokes were told, there were TV programmes promoting racism as humour but that was simply a sign of the times and due to good old ignorance but we became educated so I guess it would be a fair statement that most people in my age group have been racist unknowingly at the time.

Answer 10

once a racist always a racist
