K well, I admit, I AM RACIST, AND I WILL ALWAYS BE RACIST.

Some of you, I don't know who, I think are also racist, you are just afraid of what will happen if you admit you are.

Don't ask what races I'm against, because I won't tell you.

i am white, and speaking for my people, we have wronged alot of people to get to where we are now, we have enslaved people, we have stolen lands, we have stolen and destroyed ancient peoples legacies and histories because they conflicted with our own

that my friend is the racism that has been passed down through centuries, the kind that will never end because its impossible to right the many wrongs of the past

but to be able to look at the facts with an unbiased, educated opinion, is defeat that kind of thinking

Yes, but there are 6 billion of us alive on this earth today. That number is to double by the year 2050, our generation.

Racism is something that is passed down like a family heirloom. A father will tell his soon "People with those kind of eyes, hair, and skin are bad; don't talk to them." and in some cases it's even worse.

Face it, racism will be our demise in the end. PLUS AS HUMANs we use our smartness as a weapon, we think we rule over all other animals and this world, and that, my good friend, is why we are all meant to DIE.

I think everyone is racist in some way, some people just dont show it, but not in the way of calling black people the n bomb but in other ways...

why are you disagreeing with me? that was pretty much my original post

racism is passed down through families, however its still just ignorance, and unfortunately, even tho the problem can be resolved, it won't be because too much of, at least our country, is ignorant to reality

over half of the US's population still only believes the world is only 6,000 years old

racism won't be our ultimate demise, hatred and negativity is what will destroy us, you're looking at one part of the picture, where those elements surely exist, but it is still just one part of the picture

i like the drama, "we're all meant to DIE!" like thats a horrible fate...it is true, we think we're king shit around here, but don't worry, mother nature and the universe will help to put us in place very soon



...family heirloom...racism, its like a shiny valuable coin!

I agree with this.

over half of the US's population still only believes the world is only 6,000 years old

It's called 'history class?' Bull..

racism won't be our ultimate demise, hatred and negativity is what will destroy us, you're looking at one part of the picture, where those elements surely exist, but it is still just one part of the picture

Racism IS hatred and negativity.

i like the drama, "we're all meant to DIE!" like thats a horrible fate...it is true, we think we're king shit around here, but don't worry, mother nature and the universe will help to put us in place very soon

Humans are what's gonna kill us all off.

No.. not like that.
My answers are in red.

history class...i already made a thread with my opinion on the state of our school systems so i'll leave that be

racism IS hatred and negativity, very good...like i said, one part of the picture

humans are not in control of everything, and not nearly as much as we'd like to believe


but to come back to the original point, racism is not needed and should be done away with, but won't be, because of the ignorance of the masses
