I believe racism is taught by your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, whomever. Racism will never die because we will always have racists who will teach the next generation.

Anti-white racism. That would be someone, who believed they were superior to people, who were anti-white, right?

I think I am an anti-white racist. Now I am confused.

Excellent analysis.

When behavior is rewarded it will continue. Reward the good behavior, ignore the bad. I learned that in dog training, works for people too.

Southern Miss band chants

Since people keep bringing it up and making it the center of attention because of some idea that everyone is out to get them it will NEVER GO AWAY.

There is ONE RACE and it is HUMAN, well it is supposed to be anyway.

Why would a Rican need a green card?
Idiots > racists

No, when people stop being racist then it will go away. Only a person who has experienced racism knows what it is, i mean it is what it is..

I disagree, there's no excuse for racism coming from anybody. I would just as quickly put another fellow black person in check for saying or doing something racist as I would a white person because I'd expect the same of a white person.

This thread is doomed.
People will always be racist the world over. It is not just a White/black thing here in the U.S. Racism has always been there and it is world wide.
My prediction: In 20 years someone will post a thread on a forum somewhere about racism. It will never stop.

I guess Hispanic citizens wouldn't be racist for advocating for their illegal brethern here and demonizing any non-hispanic citizen for objecting to it?
