I am sorry but I have a hard time following you jump from one subject to another. You talk about how it is bad and then being proud is one thing or another. I think everyone understands the terms of racism and being racist.

Something I think you should step back and take a look at; people may hate/dislike certain races for a couple different reasons. Like bloodypingu seems to think that people from the south who apparently like to marry their cousins are dipshits. So, right off the bat he is going to stereotype anyone who talks or looks like they are from the south. Now, imagine that you live in a neighborhood full of only Mexicans. And everyday you see on TV some white guy robbed a gun store and killed three innocent victims. How long would it take you to start correlating anyone white to causing violence? It's called stereotyping, you meet one person who acts like they are a gangster and guess what, the more they meet that act like that, the more prone they are to connecting anyone with that profile to be a gangster. I think that is more of the racism we start to see today more than the, he has black skin, I hate black skin. Let's kill him.

QFT and smartest thing i have seen in this thread so far....

The only problem with this and Calendar Cat is the fact that by not debating it it keeps people ill informed. People develop views without ever getting a chance to understand why they have those views. IMHO if you don't like this thread don't come into it and read it. People are debating it and people are seeing different sides to this never ending battle.

But, if we do like you say, then we should never ever question another persons' beliefs since they are always going to be there and aren't going to stop. Think before you post.

that is true as well but i was mainly agreeing with what he said about the fact that it will always be around unless you have the absolute power to change the world... so unless ur god u cant stop racism in the world basically...

People Are People

I agree that things should be debated to inform people...But honestly, who in North America especially, isn't informed about racism? There's shows even on kids channels as low as age 3 or 4 teaching kids that racism isn't nice. All through out school there are books to be read about stories of racism.

Right now it's a broken record.

Debating is for when an issue has a chance of being resolved.
This will never be resolved.

Also, Remix, I am a female.

I am going to pretend that you live in an extremely diversified area of the US then. There are a lot of people who still don't understand the facts. You obviously haven't been to the South. There are clearly streets where black people aren't welcome and places where white people aren't welcome. If everyone was so well informed then I don't think there would still be schools in Mississippi who have two proms just so blacks and whites aren't together.

Even a better example, I grew up in an all white school. After third grade when I moved to CA I called black kids the N word because I had no reference as to what it actually meant. It took me until probably 7th grade to finally understand what it meant and why it was innappropriate.

http://www.answers.com/topic/debate I don't see anywhere that it states there has to be a resolution...
