i agree roots of racism started when Africans were being used as slaves and it was wrong then and its wrong now to treat anyone as poorly as African people were treated |

Racism stems from history to an extent, I agree. But what I think Racism, especially in areas like mine, stems from, is the fact that they're are just different and it's a change in daily routine to see them, etc. There's also a little fear in there, that they'll overcome us and take what it feels to us is our's. There's a song called "Everyone's a little bit racist" and it's entirely true. You may say you aren't, but believe me, on some level, you are. We all are. I don't go around bashing other races, but there are times when you feel that gut roll at some site triggered because of a person of another ethnicity. Racism is a horrible thing, but I think it's going to take a long time for that to diminish. Especially and particularly in the US and other large, well established nations. |

What can I say? I'm Southern... But I'm also caring and I try not to look at a person by color. Maybe that's because I was raised in N.O.... I don't know.

Exactly what I was thinking. Racism can't be banned because its natural, its a natural instinct. If someone different invades your terrority, aren't you going to be a bit jumpy? I agree that its bad, but its not something can go away by someone signing a bill. [edit] - added this
Isn't that sorta being racist to racist people? |

What I think is really stupid, is that when we get a discussion going about racism, everybody jumps in and starts talking about black people. Well guess what? Blacks are not the only people who are discriminated against! Blacks discriminate against others just as much, and there are other groups out there, and some people really need to realize that.

I actually believe that each race has somethign good about it, and every race always has the bad people. Dogs have different races, and some do some things better than otehrs and worse then others. I beleive that 'white' people tend to excel more (in GENERAL!) in physics and whatnot, notice I said in general, there are some 'black' people who do, but mostly white. In athletics, I believe 'black' peopel are more prone to it and do better than others, although that's in general, there are some 'white' people who play sports well too. I'm not racist, but I do think some races excel in some areas more than others, white and black were only examples in this post. |

Um... One thing stands out to me in this thread... Racism did NOT start with the African Slave Trade, in fact, it has been around since the very first humans walked the earth. And the African Slave Trade, although notorious in the US, was definitely not the first slave trade market in existence; however, it is the most publicized one, at least in my region. The Europeans constantly enslaved each other throughout history; however, much of this was due to monetary issues, not race. |
