psychology of racism

Yes without hesitation. I don't really get love but I do understand the usefulness of money.

economics is a condition

If you can judge ME then I can judge YOU.

As for you 5 factors I believe none of them apply.

However unavoidable xenophobia brought on by living in predomiantly white areas for all of my childhood does apply to my thought patterns but not conciously.

Ok, I gotta sit down for this one. In your mind, there is an excuse for marrying or sleeping with someone for income, but there is no excuse for being racist? 😱

What are YOU really arguing? help me to understand this...that there is no plausable reason for a racist thought or idea?

You know what? Once you stop describing REASON to a problem, you stop solving it, and calling people names or putting them down doesn't change their scope, if a person is racist b/c of family upbrining (family member who has personality type of a racist), economic reasons, bad experiences, etc....it would make sense on how to respond to that person after you understand the underlining reasons, if you don't think of the reasons, and only call that person names, you don't solve anything.

Do you just not read my posts? 😕

I never said there was no excuse for being racist. I just think that in my case I am not a racist. 😠

Racism is irrational although reasons behind it may appear to be so.

Name calling you have called me and my entire family line racists before I said anything like that to you.

What he is saying is that whites are usually the oppressors [sp?].

In history, this is proven. So if anyone wants to argue that whites aren't usually the oppressors, i'll ignore them.

So now that blacks are hating on whites it is just as bad? You white people that are angry that blacks hate you for your color are only experiencing the front lines of racism.

LOL, its a really funny joke really - how hypocritical most white people are. Obviously racism is wrong in ALL sides but whites shouldn't ***** about getting such a lite brand.

I said ALL racism is wrong.

Face the facts, white people dont really get much racism. Fine you can ***** about it, no problem. I just thought most white people didn't want to be a pus$y and bicth about 10% racism that is against them.

I see you two are pus$y, jeez if you guys weren't white i duno how'd you'de survive. Its a lot more dangerious world for the most part when you're not white - fact.

whites are pu$$ys and can't survive without the advantages of being lightskinned?

I think you're adding to that 10% right there.

Nice way of dodging his post.

How do you mean? I am not the one calling him or anyone racist, so I am lost as to what he is talking about.

And I've spent almost 6-7 years buying into the argument that the problem or woes with racism and blacks have to do with whites, and I worked feverishly at figuring out the problem of why this was the case and arguing on the behalf of blacks as I saw them as underdogs that needed to be saved...I was a perfect conduit. But, I learned a lot afterward, and learned that this experience has a lot to do with the mindset of blacks in and of itself, and without addressing the common problems in their own thinking, philosophy, conflict resolution, and the like, they, the black community, will still be faced with future kids raised to think that the problem is with whites.

Again, I benefit from white society, I am not the enemy of whites, so I am the last person calling a white person racist at whim, if you wanta play reverse pyschology, try someone else.

No, I thought you were HarmoNiC FLo when I posted that. I reread it and found out I had mixed you two up, so I edited the post.

yeah, i just realized he wasn't even talking to me too...so the lines did cross...sorry guys!!!!!!!!

isn't it neat the way the internet links in the mind too...we thought the same thing at the same time...check the time of your post...

Right.

Still, all racism is wrong and we shouldn't disregard that against whites just because the other is more severe.

A fitting end to the thread.

But will there ever be a fitting end to racism? (in America, of all places)

The answers no.

You come across as self-interested with such a statement. Self-serving and dismissive...and bitter.

Bitterness is the outcome. evil begets more evil. hence the cycle of discrimination in all forms.

The good news is, with this information generation - kids learn more from outside sources VS their racist [if so] parents/surroundings.

Ok, what's the difference between a narcissist and a racist? Again, if someone has narcissistic parents, and let's apply their narcissism with race, then they will be very sensitive and in love with their racial attributes.

And what about the ones who have had bad experiences CONSISTANTLY with those of a particular race? Would that cause that person to form a general opinion that isn't positive?

What about the filthy rich who wouldn't dare come around the middle class or poor? Are they bitter too? Seriously, think about this, of course if someone is dismissive and rejecting me or you (the reader), it's convenient and comforting to think that they are going to be miserable or missing out and all, but what if they aren't, it still doesn't help understand the psychology of it.

I don't understand getting irked by the apparent visual pigmentation of body parts to a point of hating the people who the pigments give the color to. 😕

To me personally the different coloration of people is just visually so beautiful. The colorfulness of "white" people and the uniform brown tones of "black" people are such diverse and pretty a sight. 😊

so yeah...the idea of racism i don't understand. 😕
