The only people who support that view for a number of decades are those like Stormfront, which says a great deal.
If you want to ignore science, that's your choice.

And I'm not a Stormfronter. Stormfronters are white supremacists who believe that whites are the superior race and should rule all other races. I don't agree with that philosophy at all.

I really haven't seen much racism , I grew up in NJ. I was taught to respect all people.. the thing is this, I can dislike someone because of the person they are, not their skin.

It depends what their character is. I actually feel robbed by this racist thing that has happened in the past by ignorant people.

I wish racism never was. I know we see the baggage carried from one generation to another by the media to extend the racist thing. MSNBC does this constantly.. always pointing to color. Why? To keep division between the parties, power and it is a hurtful thing to even think that one race is any different than another?

I think MSNBC is the real racists...always pointing to color like there really is something wrong with being black. Guess what- there isn't.

This is a curse on society that must be removed this racist baggage. We are all equal in God's eyes and we all are the same regardless of our skin pigment. So what is the big deal of it all? What if we were all born with real equality in every ones minds. Do we speak of animals as if one color is better than the next. How stupid this all is.

And for the racists that are out there, they should grow some intelligence and realize that no one gets to pick their skin color or origin and it is NO SIN or difference in what God has created.

Martin Luther King was a very wise man to know that character is the one thing we are to be judged on. Just as Jesus said. It is the man who walks in wisdom and righteousness that walks with God.

We were all born human beings , isn't that the truth!

Yeah, I hate that. I married someone who has different looks and behaviors than me.

Another one for example is "good vs bad". You will never know that something is "good" unless you ever experienced something "bad" for you to compare with.

But even with those crude examples, there are many subtle extremes.

These many subtle extremes are what racism is all about. So the truth is that many of us dislike/hate certain races because they look/behave/smell/think different from our own race.

Racism and all of the other "bad" things in life will never ever end or change. There is nothing you can do about it.
No, I am not racist and nothing can say will ever make it reality since it is not.

The truest definition of "racist" is "to conduct one's life and affairs primarily based on consideration of what race those involved, are."

I am not, never have been and never will be. I am "proud" but not haughtily so, about being a member of a mixed-race family, also.

But didn't your sheep-herder comic book hero create their intelligence? How can they grow it? The racists didn't pick their intelligence.

As such, your sheep-herder comic book hero must be the racist.

good honey pot thread for all of the racists on this forum can come and proclaim themselves to not be racists.

if your first impulse when it come to other races is "drugs violence and bad language" then sorry, but you're a racist.
