I wouldn't even say that humans aren't so accepting of differences but rather that the unknown has always feared humans.

When it comes to different races, and religions people always remember the stereotype before they remember every human being has the ability to be the same as the next, and that race or religion doesn't predetermine who you are as a person.

However, racism is real against white people in colored peoples countries, too. In many middle eastern countries they hunt white people and cut their heads off on television! Are you fogeting about that?

In Africa the blacks arn't as bad as the arabs, but you still get it. SE Asia is pretty cool, it is Buddhism. - It makes for very welcoming and accepting people.

So why do you make a thread on racism from whites to blacks? Do you not realize this goes both ways?

The making of this thread using that spin on the situation is an answer to the question in itself. Assuming that the most predominant form of racism (even in the western world) is white to black shows how easy it is to judge people simply based on their looks.

I can safely say that I'm a "racist" however I'm not the typical racist either. I don't look at someone's skin colour but how they act. That said, white people piss me off.

To give an example of what I mean, Carton Banks is the whitest person you'll ever see, fiction or non.

im black i hear so much racism a day it sucks but i i try to stay outa trouble as much as i can. of course i talk back. but to me i think everyone is the same there human....hopefully. but i really hate it i can stand racist people even of my own color. but then agian i live in america so this kind of shit is normal, it happens everyday to millions of blakcs,whites,etc... but i think of it this way. think of america as a big race most countrys hate us so they are racist toward america. i try not to mind it as much as possible as long as they dont say something like "hey ni**er im gonna hang u and ur family the next time i see ya" yes some basterd said that to me that hurt and he got hurt.

And what do you mean by that, exactley? He mentioned in the initial post it was racism against black people and the specific countries he mentioned are mostly white countries or all white countries.

Racism in every way is stupidity in its most purest form. Give me one good reason why you dislike white people and I will throw it right back at you and flatten you with it.

And no, the most common form of racism is not white to black, now days there are so many rights for blacks and so on that it is white to white racism and black to white that has the most social impact, fueled be people like you, no doubt...

You are right, it is pretty human. People will fight on every scale, from within their family, to their extended family, to their neighbourhood rivals, to their cities and own countrymen, and then against other nations. Don't take it to heart, it is the nature of man. And to most idiots, a difference in skin color is a pretty good reason for a brawl, dont you agree?

You obviously missed what I said. I said I don't care how someone looks, but how they act. There's a very big difference.

For once I'm going to have to agree with Tenchu. It doesn't matter if you're black are not, chances are you're going to encounter some form of racism. Yes I've had my fair share, cuz I'm black. Whoop dee doo. So people are assholes and don't like me because I'm black. But it sure as hell wasn't just white people. So I don't see the point in focusing on one type of racism when there are so frikin many out there.

Racism does go many, many different ways. I really don't think there is anyone who has not been a victim of racism at some point. My best friend is Hispanic and she gets it all the time. I've even been treated differently by other races. I judge people by their actions, not skin color. I don't know why others can't do the same.

People in the "West" are not more or less racist than people in Japan or the rest of the "East".

Every country has a few racist people. In fact someone once told me "everyone is racist to some degree"...I agree with them.

In more politically correct countries you'll receive more special treatment than anything. Believe it or not Germany is place quite welcome for blacks, they're the complete polar opposite of who they were in WWII.
