Out of ignorance n fear I suppose. I see it daily n it just makes me sick. My wife is Black...Im White. We went through a lot of that BS....but we are still together while the idiots that talked so bad about us are divorced n miserable. This country was built upon the backs of the Blacks, Orientals, Poor Whites, and Spanish. One vegetable doesn't make vegetable soup!!!! It takes a combination of vegetables!!!!! We are a great country with beautiful people....isn't it time to end bigotry n racism?

There has always been racism in the world and there always will.
But I have to honestly say. I believe there is Less of it now then
decades ago. that is for sure.
I think the deal with racism is that its just a reason for really small people
to vent their frustration on. Like some people are just so small that they
always need some reason to vent onto another person(s) about.
and Race just happens to be something that is visually noticable.
Like we have different races... so small minded infantile people will
choose that as a reason to just hate somebody(s)
but like say if we were all just one race... then those small minded
people would find another reason to hate others.... like it would be
over people who are too tall or too short.... or it would be over money
or over what side of town you live on or some other stupid reason.
Some people just have anger and hatred in their heart and like to vent
it upon others.. and race is just one thing they jump on
its sad but that is the way it is.
But still again.. I have seen Racism is no where near as bad as
it was decades ago.Like (6)

I have lived in small midwest towns my whole life. I recently moved to a small city south of Chicago. I was surprised to hear and see bigotry in reverse. The blacks in Danville,IL. have a big chip on their shoulder and as a white woman I am the one having to deal with the hate and sense of entitlement they seem to have. The men are the worse. I have had black men look me up and down with a grin on their face and tell me what they can do for me. OH PLEASE!!!! The women I work with can not complete a sentence without talking about "The baby Daddy", their latest tattoo, or how they scammed the system with their Link cards. The women I work with make sure they get EVERY BREAK sit around and talk about how "The man" is keeping them down. While the next breath they talk about how they got iPhones, tattoos, hair extension, false nails. Hell!, I can't afford extension, manicures(let alone false nails) and tattoos are nothing but ghetto! Black or white! I never even thought of myself as a racist but this past year has been a real eye opener for me. I say please and thank you. The black women I work with never use those words. It is as if they have no manners or act as if I OWE them something. I don't get it. I have to say racism is alive and well but the table have turned.Like (1)

Its not that people are more or less racist than they have ever been... its that they are more mobile. It happens throughout nature that people reject that which is different than them because it is unfamiliar. Once it becomes familiar, it is more accepted. So, we are actually less racist because more and more people are exposing and being exposed... however it seems that we are more racist because the number of occurrences is elevated due to exposure. BUT, the positive is that we are also rapidly reaching a state where our differences are becoming less important.

Because it's thrown in our faces. We need to be "aware" of the "problems facing "Afro-americans(NOT afro-Americans) and allow them to be coddled because they can't make it on their own. Eventually our black bretheren will realize that they're being treated as incompetent---is that racist? And yes---you're "black" for as long as you call me "white". Needless to say I have no brief fro political correctness. Have black ppeople been trodden down? Of course!!! But the currewnt course will make things worse--not better! I'm all for everyone having an equal chance----but you'll have to pulll your own weight.

Some of us are much more astute and realize one has to think for him/herself. It is not up to any other person, class, ethnicity to create, encourage or define who any person is- I believe in intense self-development. However because this race allows the masses to control their psychology (through inculcation, influence) for reasons that the astute could figure out, it is not entirely the cultures fault for being 'coddled'. Like the obtuse, or a child or under-developed or non-maverick a human being absorbs too much of the outside world. These people cannot make it on their own because they have been told this for many years (and rashly believed it), luckily that has changed incredibly. My advice to any person: think for yourself, listen to what is being said and analyze one's behavior, pay sharp attention to those around you, don't compare yourself to others because the ultimate self-accomplishment is challenging yourself 'for' yourself and being secure at every moment.Like (1)

Many are tired of busting their ***** and seeing their tax money going to the underclass who refuse to do anything to raise themselves up. Sex, drugs, guns and gangs is all they know so you have to ask why there is racism? We live in a welfare state and until forced sterilization is in place it will continue getting worse.

I suppose it was Obama that started the last two senseless wars we had? How do you blame him when the economy already was screwed up by the Bushes? When Clinton left office our books were in the Black...after the Bushes lift it was in the Red!! Obama inherited this mess he didn't cause it!!!
