Will Racism Ever Die Out And What Can Spark It?

Question

I ask this because I heard about the possible assisination attempt on Obama and was saddened and outraged.

Answer 1

Sadly I don't think so.

Discrimination of any kind will always be around. Even if you don't suffer racism there will be something else.

That's just mankind for you.

Answer 2

i don't think it will ever stop. there's always going to be a person that is racist.  

Answer 3

There has been a massive shift in populations to western - predominantly white countries as of late - some day we will all be a  shade of light brown .

Answer 4

Unfortunately with so much ethnic and racial differences, it is hard to get ride of this disease ;-(

Answer 5

Racism no longer exist, it is just an excuse used by minorities when the hear something they don't like or something doesn't go their way.

Answer 6

Nope.

Answer 7

racism come directly from minorities who feel they deserve special treatment for their ancestors being mistreated 100 years ago. now they make music videos with half dressed girls and brag about hustlin. until they stop. we wont

Answer 8

Racism will die the minute Jesse Jackson dies.  

Answer 9

I think it may eventually die out, but not in the very near future. Racist comments, insolence, ignorance.

Answer 10

Sadly, I don't think racism will ever just... disappear. There's always going to be a racist person somewhere in the world, even if nobody knows it. I hate any type of ignorance but when people start insulting race or religion, I get particularly angry. Every single day, I'm called a "n*gger lover" just because I defend black people when they're discriminated against or insulted by some racist idiot and it upsets me. It shows how stupid racist people are, though, because they would go against someone of their own race, ethnicity and nationality if that person defended someone they hate.

Answer 11

people dont like things. if we all liked everything that would be silly.

so some people don't like certain other people, thats their choice really.

of course going around doing things like racist attacks is a different matter, but there should be no reason why a person is not entitled to his own views and to dislike whoever they want even if other people are offended.

Answer 12

The number of posts on here condemning him, including Democrats asking other Democrats to vote Republican to avoid having a black President is evidence enough that America is as fundamentally racist as it has ever been.

The KKK must be enjoying its greatest recruitment drive in several generations.  Now we will see the true America.  The grubby 'colour of your skin' bigots that make up the America that cries freedom.

The big fat lie America that pretends there is freedom and justice for all.

The same America where the murderer Bush condemned thousands of black people to die unprotected in Alabama and its neighbouring states.

Obama will not survive a full period in office.  He will go with JFK and Lincoln into mythology...and the racists will laugh their way to the bank.

Answer 13

I honestly hope so. My black friends were really upset when I told them that Obama might get assasinated because of racism and they got really mad.  White people did do some awful things in the past, but I thought we were over that now. That is so crazy for people to judge people by the color of their skin. Obama is cool ! And so are black people ! So all racist people of all races need to get adjusted to the 21st century.

Answer 14

racism is learned by parents, relatives, or other people close to you. unfortunately i don't think it will die out any time soon because there's always going to be someone against another person because of their race or religion. as for obama... it is possible because there are people against blacks. because of this, i'm sure there's an extreme amount of security to prevent anything from happening. actually, ever since jfk was shot, security has been really cautious.

Answer 15

you know, i dont think racism will ever leave, i mean ppl still hat jews for wut they did hundred of yrs ago, me especially, i mean, they tried to kill my people! think about, blacks have just started to be targets of racism, it hasnt even been a few centuries that theyve been near whites. this shows that if racism does go away, it wont be in ur lifetime

Answer 16

what! i cant believe that, i never heard about it. thats really quite terrible, barack obama is a great person.

personally i dont think racism will ever completely die out. some people are just so ignorant and they pass this down to their children. we can fight this but there will always be that certain group of people that cant accept diversity

Answer 17

racism is natural...everyone thinks theyre better than everyone else...(i dont just think it, i know it--go white people!)  assasinations attempts are bad, but that just goes to show you how much our country DOESNT want a black president.

Answer 18

Yes. Racism will die once the genetic pool will become homogeneous enough to eliminate all physical differentiations between humans.

On the other hand, discrimination will never die because, if two things are different it is in our nature to compare them and thus consider one lesser than the other.
