Description
What is Racism? Racism means attitudes, practices and other factors that disadvantage people because of their race, color or ethnicity. Racism can be directed against any race, color or ethnicity.Some examples of racism are obvious, such as graffiti, intimidation or physical violence. Racial and ethnic slurs and "jokes" are other examples. Unfortunately, they are often ignored because people do not know how to deal with them.
Other forms of racism are not obvious, such as discrimination in hiring and apartment rentals, or policies that disadvantage members of certain races, whether intentionally or not.
Racism exists at three main levels: individual, institutional and cultural.
------------------------------------
What can I do to stop racism?
First of all, speak out against racism. Otherwise, your silence may be interpreted as tacit approval of discrimination. You have the right, as well as the responsibility, to speak out.

I hate whenever people are racist to white people they bring up a stupid ass argument like "They started it with slavery." "They have more power."
Or simply just call it "reverse racism."
Hell, I've heard my brother's friend say that "Cracker is not a bad racial slur, because it's not as bad as nigger."
In conclusion,
Don't be racist to anyone.
Don't be sexist to anyone.
Rant finished.

I agree with you completely and what annoys me is when they say *ALL* white people did slavery. So the Scandinavians, Eastern Europeans and people in the Balkans did that? Its ignorance at its finest and even though the Western European countries had slaves, they no longer do that.
Like you said, all racism is bad ;u;

You ever hate how people pull the "race card" out of their arses and use it
to make people feel bad for it? In reality my friends, the matter of life isn't about colour;
it's about privileges, it's about sharing, most importantly it's about living on with life.
And how they pull those race cards. It's pathetic, it's childish, and it's disgracing the community of that colour.
The last thing we want is this "Black vs White" thing going on, all I care of; is sharing life to those people!
So do us a favor: Live life how it is and how it works, don't use your race cards,
and your pitiful back-marks about colour and being a racist clot about it - Just LIVE with it!

I wish people would stop calling black people "n****r*".
I wish people would stop calling Mexicans "Illegal immigrants".
I wish people would stop calling Muslims "terrorists".
I wish people would stop calling Asians "G**k"
I wish people would stop calling white people "Crackers"
I wish anyone would stop being racist to anyone
We are all equal,no matter what race.

Well that's mostly unnecessary in the US given that no one is ever going to deny me housing or employment because I'm white. Nor will I be scrutinized or beaten by the police because I'm white.

An anti-Semitic Youtube channel...
Why would you think that's appropriate to post here?

To show condolences and protest against racism. When it's comes channels like these, I will not stay quiet to have these people be attacked like this. My form of action is to expose this scumbag of his cruel bigotry and get people's attention to call this guy out. Everyone has the right to know and make sure they do the right. Ban the stars in bars. Ban the swastika and ban the white cloak and hood. Hope you understand by strong expression of this.

I totally hate racist people! But if we think well, it's impossible to stop the racism in the world. I mean, it dosen't matter how much we fight against it, it will never stop (it dosent mean we must stop fighting against racism). Especially because the media influences a lot on racism, it's a kind of brainwash that we don't realize. Most of the commercials to promote something good, features a happy white family in a pretty house, or a beautiful women, or a rich white man with a lot of girls. Or the terrible stereotype that the perfect girl is the blonde girl, with blue eyes and rosy cheeks, this kind of stereotype is used in advertisements and commercials. While when they want to show the poverty, they show a black family, if they wanna show drugs, they show black people using drugs and vandalizing. To stop racism we must stop the media!

2-3 weeks ago in a business law class, our teacher told us that businesses, conglomerates and corporations work closely with the government. They bring a lot of money to the government.
For example if native/local corporations have trouble selling their products, because a high portion of the market share belongs to the strongest seller, probably a foreign product lie CocaCola, iPhones, etc.
The government will help these local companies with the help of their strongest "tool" (weapon), media. They will subtly lead the population into fake patriotism, which becomes nationalism and in the end racism towards all foreign things.
"Drink our local copy of CocaCola if you are a real patriot, if you do not drink it GTFO from our country you traitor!"
Well, I will drink whatever I want to drink, no one tells me what to drink (I choose tea).
The government and companies lead the "sheeps" (population) and we the population are so F"""" STUPID to do what they want us to do.
And the stupid folks, locals behave racist and nationalistic, and don't even know why they are racist. So stuuuuuupid... So stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid.
What happens next? Students have to get on their knees for a visa while businessman are welcomed with a 2-4 years visa stay. And after the businessman were milked by the smart and hypocritical government and the market is established, the government supports local companies to take over the market.
Well, that's how each country and companies work. That's normal.
But the actual problem is that people remain racist, the next generations grow up to be racists.
Racism will not die out.
We will have to battle it until the end of times.

The Bible says that all people are of "one blood," so racism is disrespectful to God as well as the victim. Even if you aren't Christian, studies have shown that there is a 0.2 genetic difference between any two people, regardless of their "race." So, racist people really have no excuse at all for scorning their fellow human beings based on superficial differences.

I have grown up in a racist environment ever since I was born. My mom was introduced to it when black children would injure white children. They would say, "All our problems are because of you!" Because of that, so many white kids were beat up by blacks, it was outrageous. One that had bullied my mom threatened to kill her whole family if she told an adult. She was constantly dragged into the bushes and punched and kicked.
There were victims that had it worse, though. Someone suffered from a broken arm. That is simply insane. However, I am not racist. Just because my family was discriminated against by blacks doesn't mean I should act like my grandmother or uncle.
True, millions of blacks appear on the news for crimes. But I know there are more than just black criminals out there, but ones who are innocent. Half of my family believes African Americans are all crazy in the head. I don't believe so.
I just wish racism would stop.

Yeah I hate racism but really wish people would stop using 'That's racist' to win a fight.
There was a deviation by this black claiming that all this hate art he had done about a group called the #cutecookiesfamily was okay because ONE of the members called me a 'nigga' (me and this girl are both white)... despite this having nothing to do with the hate art and she said this AFTER he posted it ...
he claimed because he was a black man she and I were bullying him. To make this worse he had also made fun of this girl's little sister FOR BEING GINGER before she had done this.

So you're saying that practicing racism? And white people call irish red heads "ginger" which is interesting. seeing as ginger = nigger in an anagram. White people invented BOTH terms.

No. That's not my argument at all.
I don't think it's fair that the black person should get away with making fun of a ginger for being ginger but if it's the other way around it's a crime. (And this DOES happen)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its not "fair" another word for meaning (white/just/pure)........... And how does a black person get away with anything largely incorrect in a system of white supremacy/racism? The apparently he was called a nigga/nigger and you seem to care nothing of that. and thats supposed to worse than the term "ginger" which is the same word scramble up.... You said you are a white person, how are you affected by what a non white person says?

You seem to be ignoring my argument to bash at white people or me?
My point is : DON'T USE ''She was racist to me'' AS AN EXCUSE TO BE RACIST TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKE HER. It. is. NOT. okay.
''in a system of white supremacy/racism?''
What white supremacy system? It's not the 1960s. Black people have just as much rights as I do. (And if you don't live where I do and for some reason the don't... they should) ^^

What he was doing was RESPONDING to the practice of racism. At best no one should mistreated white or non white, but the thing is none of this would've gotten this far if she didn't start using terms like "chicken" and "nigga" reffering to black people and then "act ignorant" like she didn't know they were black. You are a white person, you cannot be a VICTIM of racism. Non white people are subject to the system of White supremacy. You can't expect the victim to not react to racism and just keep taking abuse.
And non whites do NOT have just as much rights as white people do in the areas of (economics, education, entertainment, labor, law politics, religion, sex and war)
If you're white, you're born with benefits of epic proportions. Which means that system does still exist. Im not talking about the civil rights era and what now. This is a system thats thrives of the mistreatment of darker skin people WORLDWIDE.
