Growing up in a small town where I would say is around 95% white, I have definately said some racist things in jest I dont think I have ever meant anything by it.. Now i still live in the same town and I suppose I look at race in the same way I look at the penguin chocolate bar, there are 5 different colours but they all taste the same. I dont think people are naturally racist I think that people impose steretypes on them to give them a relationship to their skin colur etc.. But No I'm not a racist!

Yeah, and, after reviewing your posting history, you're not going to be around long.

You're the type of pathetic, worthless scum that makes me occasionally sad to be from the south.

Southern pride my ass. Pathetic, cowardly, uneducated, bigoted asshole pride is more like it.

i went to see a american indian do a talk,he brought up the subject of racism as in colour and said something that made me think and since very much believe in,for the people who are racist cos of colour if every one took their skin off we would all be the same colour,which is red,he had the lights turned off and sung a native american song,it was so beautiful and touching although i couldnt understand it,by the time the lights went on it effected me so much,i had tears down my face.


Score one for my race. LOL I have racist thoughts like everyone else. But I make a concious effert to not be racist.

It's true; most people will answer yes to the above question. Some people are racist without even knowing they are, while some are racist and know that they are but deny it or cover it up so that they can better fit in, especially now in the age of politically correctness. Also, although some people are very open about their racist beliefs, they usually don't think there is anything wrong with feeling or thinking a certain way, especially if what they think/feel is universally accepted as "truth"/the "norm" or whatever.

By the way, if any of you are interested, there's a book on the HP series which addresses JK Rowling's prejudice themes. It's simply called "Prejudice in Harry Potter," and yes, I wrote it. Whether or not you're a Harry Potter fan, it doesn't matter because my book is a social commentary which briefly summarizes the plot (for non-HP readers), highlighting the prejudice-related subplots in the introduction. Then the rest of the book uses Gordon Allport's classic text ("The Nature of Prejudice" to closely examine Rowling's treatise on all forms of societal prejudice, including racism and disability prejudice amongst others.

Cheers,

K.

I'm not racist. I only dislike people who have the nerve to be racist when their people suffered from racism too. For example if a Jewish person was racist against a black person and started saying that he should be hanged. I would be disgusted because they have some nerve trying to preach things like that after their people went through the Holocaust. things like that make me angry.
