I specifically searched the net to find a posting of this type. I understand the reason for racism, black against white. I am a black male with albinism, and I have married a white woman. My skin is white, but naturally my features are black. This has given me a different perspective on the whole black-white issue. There should not be any reason for racism, but it still exists in the deep recessed of our society. In White and Black neighborhoods because both sides keep it alive. Older whites feel blacks are sub human beings, uncontrollable, creatures always up to no good. Blacks feel whites have a superior attitude and are always out to get the black man. I am not a racist. In truth, that very statement, makes me a racist. No white person has ever called me a nigger. I have never called a white person a cracker, or honkey. I see people in two sects, ignorant, and non-ignorant. I grew up in Paterson New Jersey. It is a depressed town where as a black man I could have stayed all my life complaining about my circumstances. I moved beyond those as many have, but most will live and die there. I am a black man, but have walked the fense of racism because of my skin color. as a young adult, I straighted and dyed my hair to in fact pa** as a white person. That was not the intent at the onset, but it was the result. At 44, I see things very differently. It is easy to use hatred of another, to make one feel better about ones circumstances. That is racism.

Okay, I'm going to try and get my point across. With that, I think that the true nature of this post is racist. So I would like to diffuse the basis behind the argument.

First of all, not everyone is racist. Everyone may stereotype, but that does not make you racist. Racist is when you look at a group of people, determine a detrimental opinion, do not allow this opinion to change, and apply to every person of the selected race. Sometimes what people call "racist" has simply been what someone has been taught, they don't know any better, so it is actually ignorance. And there is a big difference there.

Second, no racism exists without hate. Especially that of whites to black. It is not simply a matter of whites seeing blacks as inferior, but more over as a threat. The threat being that whites who are racist don't like to change their value system to include people of color as humans, or at least not the level of human they believe they are. The racism that exists in the United States (between Black and white) is a direct product of our government allowing people of a certain race (Black) to be sold like livestock, so in essence this racism was indeed bred out of ignorance.

Thirdly, it is ignorant to hate based on something that has nothing to do with a person or group of people's actual personality.

Racism is nothing but ignorance or a form of hate descending from ignorance. It is for ignorant people. All ignorant people are inferior, at least in intelligence, to those who are knowledgeable. So to me this post, which is blatantly racist (after all, who actually cares who is more racist, and why does it matter?), is ignorant.

Who is more racist? Not blacks or whites, but the ignorant people. And they come in all colors, shapes, and denominations.

This person has summed up the arguement perfectly. If you want to know the answer to the question, read what she said.

Anyone who believes in the illusion of 'race' is a racist. They may not be hostile or bigoted, but they are ignorant.

The reason why many members ethnic minorities are racist is because they are unable to integrate into wider society due to racism. They form their own community based on a sense of shared ancestry and victimisation. Racism begets more racism.

I meant they are unable to integrate due to the racism of wider society as well, but you're right.

I think most mixed raced people hate white people, but what seems to make me angry is if you call a mixed raced person a swear word you get done for racism yet if a mixed raced person calls a white person a swear word no one bats an eye lid and to be honest i'm getting sick of it. I don't think it should work one way and not the other because thats just wrong.

I was not raised to hate anybody because of their color. At my current job it is majority black. I have noticed that they tend to stick together and do not really try to get along with those who are white. I am not saying they hate whites but this is what I have observed.

It would be nothing but constant fun, instead of thinking of ways to kill each other, we would all put our wonderful minds together and make the most awesome video games.
