Racism

How bad is racism where you live?

Well you are talking about a subject that will cause some confusion and anger so I rather not answer to protect myself

it's bad here and every time I think it's getting better something crappy happens to prove me wrong,it stinks!

I'm not really sure about here in upstate NY, but in South Carolina it can get pretty blatant. However, my sister prefers to raise my niece, who is bi-racial there, rather than up here near our parents cuz there isn't a lot of cultural diversity in this area.

it is very much alive here in texas. not so much in houston, but there is a small town about 30 minutes from my house called Vidar. man, it is terrible there. they actually have the klu klux clan there!!!!! losers. believe it or not, I was approached by 3 skinheads the other day. they were trying to recruit me!!!! there expressions when they saw my wife (she is mexican) walk up were priceless.

it's hard to believe in this day and age that people with that kind of hate for other still exist. a few weeks ago there was some young boys on a corner handing out white power cards,I couldnt believe it.

racism = stupidity and inferior genes. too much chlorine in the gene pool.

I used to hear so many racist comments when I was working. I wanted to say something so badly, but couldn't if I wanted to keep my job. Sometimes you would hear it from the employees too. Some of them did not think interacial dating was "right" as they put it. I don't get it myself, as long as it's intraspecial what's the problem.

love is love. doesnt matter what race you are. the same with friends.

i live in florida but my grandparents live in alabama and they have their whole lives. now i love my grandparents but theres no denying they r racist. luckily my father did not turn out that way and he didnt raise me racist either. so when i was 14, we were visiting them on the way to a softball tournament in georgia and i tried on my jersey for them. coincidently i had picked my jersey number to be 42 which is that of jackie robinson. so they asked me why i picked that number and i told them it was jackie's number. they didnt say anything after that. but anyways whenever i think of racism i am always reminded of that, kind of like representing a change in times and im gonna be tellin my children n grandchildren about that one🙂

Racism ain't really that bad where I grew up, but my mother was a different story. She freaks, over mixed relationships and even mixed friendships. Thank god I'm outta the house

My parents never mentioned race growing up so it was never an issue for us, but my grandparents are a different story. Grandma laments over my niece being bi-racial and fears I'll come home from China with a Chinese boyfriend. Hey, ya never know...my prom date was from India.😄

Yay biraciality! Anyone here biracial? I guess I'm lucky. Seattle is very liberal, and since I'm biracial my parents could care less what race my girlfriend is. It's fugged up. People say interacial couples are sinful, and the work of the devil. They use the law, genes, culture, and even the bible (yeah it's talked about in the bible, it's even mentioned in the Bhavagad Gita) to discourage biracial relationships. I scoff at such tomfoolery myself. My girlfriend is mixed, and it really fugs with some peoples simple ignorant minds when I tell them we're in a quadriracial relationship. That's my favorite shit

Well, if people want to talk genes, they should look at the animal world. It's the mixed breeds that are usually the toughest. Purebreds have all sorts of problems. So really, people with several racial variances in their genes are better off.

purebreads=inbred

I shit you not in most cases!

at least as far as animals are concerned

I have seen places where the people look inbred too😄

heya guys...

Hmmm...discussion about racism I see....2 words. The where I come from "SOUTH AFRICA".

enough said !

Racism is everywhere! And no matter how much people deny it., EVERYONE is racist to sertain degree, even IF it is the teeniest ammount.

Its pretty common in Australia cuz we are a multicultural society.

in romania we kind of have a bit of aperheid against gipsies. But not against the colour of their skin, god forbid..but because MOST of them are bloody thieves. Not all..i'm not generalising. But in a country with that low of an economic level...they're not looked at very good. And it's normal.

This reminds me...i've seen a comercial once and i laughed my asss at it.
it was with a black dude saying (and this is not the exact replication)
"When i am born, i am black
when i grow, i'm black
when i'm sick i'm black
when i'm cold, i'm black
when i'm angry, i'm black
when i'm old, i'm black

you, white boy, when you're born, you're pink
when you grow, you're white
when you're sick, you're yello
when you're cold, you're purple
when you're angry, you're red
and when you're old, you're gray.

and you dare call me...colored?"

very funny

i aint gettin in this topic no way count me out
