I'm white, and I think I get treated much better than black people.  I live in NC and it's pretty racist here.

I think the only way racism will ever get 'done away' with is just naturally through times.  I think education is the only way to stop it, and that slowly this will happen, it's already much better than it was... I think Racism is a waning problem, not a waxing one.  I think with each generation, there will be more and more understanding, but it might take a couple hundred years for it to be pretty nonexistant.  Any radical attempts to stop racism will just fuel it, and any attempts to counterbalance it (i.e., so called 'reverse racism', affirmative action, etc.) will probably fuel it also.  

With all that said, I think everybody deep down is slightly racist, to the extent that they slightly prefer their own race over all other races, because of a matter of pride, and heritage.  I think there's nothing wrong with a black man being proud of black men, thinking their the greatest in the world, and vice versa.  Kinda like britain and america each think they're the greatest country in the world.  It's natural.

EVERYBODYS racist...

[OutSider]

I personally believe there is not supreme race or inferior race. Although Prejudism is everywhere and everyone. People tend to have Negitive attutude towards ethinic groups that they are not familar with or raced with racist beliefs..... causing them to become prejudges or racist..

I agree with Trauma's point.  Our generation is much less racist than our parents, and our kids will be even less racist.  However, it is true that every country exhibits some form of racism so I doubt it will go away completely for a long time.  

In America I think racism won't go away completely, but will change form.  It won't be an outward hatred towards blacks for no reason, but society will still deem america racist towards black for another reason.  This reason is largely the fault of America itself, but is no an inevitable dilemma we will face.   That being the majority of blacks in America were swept into ghetto's, and forced to attend ghetto schools.  There is now a strong culture within the ghetto that will not go away any time soon, and that culture unfortunately brings down the black community at least according to the normal united states standards.  Basically, ghetto culture is accepted by teeny boppers as alright, but the white collar class will always be turned off by it.  The strong and rightful attachment to this culture will ensure it lasts a long time and thereby creating a sort of detachment from the majority of blacks from "white" america.  

The poor schooling systems further keeps people trapped in the ghetto, and the constant reinforcement from black celebrities preaching bling bling, and gangsterism is only helping create the problem.  If it is a problem.  

But while I may be an asshole in saying so.  Is it fair to expect your average run of the mill white collar white guy to be able to relate to a person with "hip hop culture"

For example, LA and rural NY are two totally diff cultures whose people have a hard time relating to each other.  No one considers this a problem, its understood and for good reason.  Some guy that lives in the woods prolly can't relate to a city guy at least on a constistant basis.  I think that was a lil extreme, but hopefully you get the point I am attempting to make.  Likewise though, a typical white person doesn't understand hip hop culture anymore than the person with hip hop culture understands the white man culture.  Hip hop culture dislikes white man culture, white man culture can't relate to hip hop culture.  Just like the guy that lives on a farm, can't relate easily to the guy that lives in the city.  Its the way things are, but becuz of this we will still be deemed racist.  In a sense its not fair becuz we created hip hop culture by forcing blacks into the ghetto.  But on the other hand, what can you do about it?

I fuckin hate rascism but it's never going to go away.  Everybody's going to think better of their own race and think down on other races but i think nik said that everybody's rascist and that's true.  Everybody in here is rascist sometimes.

I don't consider America to be a racist country in comparison to other parts of the world.

^^^ thats probably true.  You probably just haven't been to other countries that much.   Or if you have, weren't there long enough to see their form of racism.

[Trauma-san]

^^ That's not tolerated, however.  Whatever you teacher saw was isolated, it ain't all people throwing rocks and sh*t, LOL.  It's more like "Look at that nigger over there" when nobody's listening.

im white and i live in a white dominated country - my country, though it is improving, is racist. when settlers first arrived the aborginals were treated like shit by racists like what happened to many natives during settlement - south africa, america, new zealand, etc. i have never personally experienced racism but i hate it, i hate it more then anything. it is blantant stupidity. to say that someone is worse then another person just because they look different makes no fuckin sense. i will not tolerate racism in any form. my father is a racist and i hate him every day for it.

my last girlfriend was asian and she told me she suffered racism as kid in school from other kids. now i know this is just immature kids that dont know any better but it made me angry, it isnt fair what she went through.

[Trauma-san]

Yeah, and the only reason those kids did it, was because they're parents taught them crap like that.  It's been proven in studies that kids don't sense any kind of hierarchy in races, just that people of a different race look a little different.  

This all ties back to my argument that parents need to teach their kids and make sure they have a strong moral base. Luckily racism and civil right stuff like that are being battled by the media, so kids are being taught, even if not in the home that racism is bad.

If my parents don't want me to go out with a black chick, would u consider that racism?

[Jay ay Beee]

If the only reason they didn't want you with her was because she's black, yes.
