something blunt and hurtful

[RichardSimmonsAgogo]

why is it that just because our terrible current foreign policy problems are with the middle east that we let all other denominations (besides africans because god forbid we offend those fucking pussies, but dont worry if i find out anyone actually cares ill make a seperate post) has fallen prey to unwarented racism and social blindness. It's come to my attention that now being asian is a crime in america, because a companys only too willing to sponsor a middle east awarness program, but you try to get one of them to say its ok for you to tell someone its wrong to call every asian person "Mr. Miyagi" and they look the other way in disgust.
I've had the same problem only i figure that i should do it in my school before i graduate, but NOOOO "we already have a racial awarness program at our school, we dont need another one" funny thing is just the other day he was dealing with another verbal harrasment suit in the making

anywhoo sorry if you cant understand that i did jump around a lil, i'll be on for a lil while longer tonite to clea up if you need it.

It was kind of hard to comprehend your post but at last I did...if I have anything wrong, then correct me.

Yes.. I know that racism is still at large. However, I don't think it is merely because of Middle East. I believe it has existed ever since people saw races of other people different from their people. So the current anger against Middle East is nothing but a catalyst to racism.
I don't think racism will ever end, no matter what we do. We are common human beings, which means that we are bound to poke fun of some groups of people. Even if the world is united under one race, where all the other races become extinct, there would still be discrimination, where people despise other people because of different culture. I know that it is hurtful (I have experienced it quite a few times), but it is something that cannot end.

It's just something that has been passed down generation after generation. In ages past, whites were born with the knowledge that blacks were inferior. Of course, we know that all human beings are the same. However, the racist views that whites have for blacks is related a bit to the fact that the blacks aren't as well-ff, "intelligent", as advanced, as them.

People view themselves as the pinnacle of excellence, thus the human race has so many problems.

Of course, the whites aren't the only ones to blame. But like Drimarki said, Racism will be a difficult river to stem, let alone stop all together.

Actually Racism isn't as old as you might think. Racism really started when modern empires started. It was used as a reason for taking places over. "We're civilising them!" and has continued since.

Whoa Slizor, are you really only 14, I'm really suprised at your writing ability. You're probably a smart one, you. You ought to read Atlas Shrugged, it's a good book for people like you. It's a book about heroes, unlike the shit that the schools provide (How much Steinbeck can they fit into a curriculum Answer: All of it, Arghh, no more books about poor people and retards)

Whoops, was looking at your old posts and hadn't noticed the difference in dates 2000 vs 2003, still, you're awfully eloquent for a 16 year old. You kind of remind me of me when I was 16.

Atlas Shrugged is okay but the whole story is black and white. You're either with them or us. There is no grey area. The philosophy is good but that's the only thing that the book is about. There is little to none character development. Almost all of the charcters remain the arrogant pricks that they are.
