My view is:

EVERYONE IS RACIST
Some people deny being racists, but they really are
Racism will never end
Racism is a disease that is very contagious
We can be pressured into being racist
Racism is the cause of every war the world has ever seen, in one way or another

So now, what do you think?

I dont think everyone is racist. not EVERYONE.

AJ · #3 05-26-07, 02:02 PM

No, not everyone is racist.

Hatchet · #4 05-26-07, 03:10 PM

racism isn't a disease...racism is ignorance, ignorance passed down for centuries. you also can't be peer pressured into being racist, thats a weak minded individual who has to follow someone else's lead because they don't have enough belief in themselves to have an original thought

i also disagree that race is the cause of every war ever in the history of the world, however, it can and does play a role in alot of them

i don't think everyone is racist, but i do think that alot of people are

racism can end by simply educating and caring, two things that we're not familiar with in this world

I think racism is rather silly.
Anybody wanna touch that?

Wolf · #6 05-26-07, 05:29 PM

Alright, I'll step back a little, 99.999999999% of people are racist. Of course it's silly, but IT'S NEVER GONNA END.

RACISM = GANG VIOLENCE + KILLING OTHER RACES ---> RACISM++++++

i totally agree with hatchet, if everyone is racist then does that mean you are too konkikt? if you think everyone is then all the people you know must be to put that into your mind, just because you live near a violent are doesnt mean the whole world has violence over race, most people i know are perfectly good people who have overcome past family prejudices and are nice to all races.
