Racism is dead, right?
Is racism dead or not? I have never personally experienced racism, but i hear people talk about it all the time. Stories about being pulled over in the suburbs and such. I don't believe that white people are out to get black folks, or that they even think about black people until someone brings us up. My theory is that white people (especially in Chicago) don't know a lot of black people and vise versa. People always fear what they don't understand, its human nature.
The only reason why I'm even bringing this up is because i see a lot of racist type stuff on the web and in this site. I assume that all the overt racists on the internet are southern and over 60 while living out on the farm and using 56k dialup, but i may be wrong. Is it normal for me to be paranoid?,

Even if there was one colour on this earth - we humans will find other ways of discrimination be it hair colour/weight/etc.
Well I'm not sure.
I used to say racist shit to gangsters just to piss em off.
But yeah dude, there's some really hardcore neo nazi people out there.
*not me*
But merely a clash of civilisations and ideals (be it religion or political).
But as far as race goes, I don't give a dead zebra's anus whether a person is black white or green so long as he/she isnt a total prick and a twat rag. which would exclude most of you nose hairs what post on this board :D
Remember that.
You multiculturalist pussies are just hypocrites and liars if you deny this. For instance I dislike Muslims not because of their race (they have no race) but because their religion is racist, sexist, homophobic,anti semitic & supremacist. This opinion is not based on anything else than observation and evidence. When ever I hear people saying they are not racist I want to take a bath because usually they are the worst pious bigots around. So, its normal to be racist because everyone is !!!!!!
Sorry for the conflation.
People can say the what the f**k they want and get away with it.
In real life, I doubt that many people are racist.
than i just read some topic, and people on this site of any site i have ever read EVER , are the most racist people ever. bad name to the site word up .
tho most racist stuff said (that i have seen) is said as a joke
we still have nazis in the world and KKK
the same logic can be used to prove the existance of racism. racism isn't a tangable thing, it's a concept - those are things which only exist in our minds. and our minds surely exist.
it would've been easier to say that the kkk and nazis still exist, and they do, but i tried at a more philosophical approach to your question.
racism is primitive behavior tho.
just try to see it as such, and it will start making less sense and less sense until it might even disappear from your experience.
And to the poster: yeah, as others here have said, there are still some crazy racists out there. It's pretty insane.
Listen, try actually studying religion before you come onto the internet to smite it. And no, not everybody is racist, you dumbass. Maybe YOU are, but this doesn't mean every other damn person is.
And evidence? Evidence my ass. You have no evidence. You look at extremists, and judge a people based on what you see from the misguided.
(In normal internet terms...)
y0u f4il!!! lulz
People are more often racist on the web, because it makes them feel bigger, or more important. In reality they may not be racist at all, but the internet is its own world so to speak, and that means you can create a "new you". One person can be someone completely different on the internet. Another reason is simply because on this one site alone there are likely millions of viewers a day from all over the world. Some of them have to be racists, statistically speaking.
Now to the point. Racism is not dead, and it never will be. Like you said, people are afraid of the unknown. If someone know nothing about another strange alien culture they are likely wanting to destroy it due to perceiving it as a possible threat. People also need scape-goats. Religious types blame sin and lust and temptation on women, Hitler blamed a failing economy and a crumbling nation on Jew and Communists. America blames Iraq on Muslims Terrorists, thus leading to the belief that Iraq War = 9/11 = Muslim terrorists therefor
if Terrorist = Muslim all Muslims = Terrorists. In reality less than 25% of muslims have any affiliation with the Taliban or the Al Quida.
People also need distractions. For instance if a country is suffering a failing government, the government is likely to blame minorities, due to the small number, size and power of the minority groups. A different example is during the 1940's when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, America was afraid of the japanese. The result, Concentration Camps. During the 30's Americans feared losing there jobs to black people. the result? the rebirth of the KKK.
Canada feared losing canadian jobs to the chinese in the late 1800's. The result, chinese head taxes going above $500, cut pay for Chinese, no rights for chinese, and degrading jobs.
Racism goes beyond black vs white. While racism against black people is still heavy in may parts of the world, mostly South US and parts of central Africa, it is diminishing but being replaced by heavy racism towards Muslim peoples, within America, Canada, many Middle Eastern countries, Denmark, the UK, France and parts of Africa.
eventually Racism against black people will be non existent, but it is begin replaced by racism against muslims, which in turn will be wiped out but replaced by some other prejudice and so on. Its a never ending chain.
Racism depends on the crowd, and on how much a girl you are. Chill out?
And yes, there are lots of people who teach their kids specifically to hate on black people. It lives, and it's passed on...
But more importantly, the word "racism" is meaningless. Is a croat who hates serbs racist? Yep. Is a slaveholder who thinks blacks are only good for slavery racist? Yep. Is a slave who burns for the destruction of white society racist? Sure is. Is a jew who loves asian women racist? Yes. Is a paki who hates all hindus racist? Yes.
Since race is such an amorphous term, defined differently throughout history (and largely for the convenience of whoever's using the term) all those things above are racist. But what else do they have in common? Not a lot.
Racism is a very general term. What specifically are you asking about?
BUT! Dont let that stop you from doing what you want. While it may still exist and will always exist as NeoFalco pointed out, it hasn't stopped people from fighting it and continuing to fight it.
"LMFAO funniest post i've ever read hahahahaha i literally laughed out loud
it must suck to be black, but as long as your trying to be one of the "white brothas" we can accept you as long as you are disgraced by your own race (which you should be)
you can be the opposite of a "wigger", i'll call it "bracker" like "cracker" but with a b"-flickr.
*and i was like wtf? this is by far one of the most ignorant things i have ever read. it's really sad.
