People fear other people that are diffrent from them just cause they are a diffrent race, culture, or religion. I think this is wrong because being racist is not a good thing. When you look inside of everybody they are all the same. We all have the same kinds of problems but we face them in the same way. Back in the days if you were black then you were a slave. When a child would be born, he/she wouldn't get to enjoy their childhood, instead they would be slaves work day and night. Now a days people that are racist will only look at people that they think are just like them and treat them with respect, and if some-one is a bit diffrent from they will disrespect them. We all can make a diffrence, by helping people see that all of us are the same even if don't look thesame from the outside.

Youre all right of course, and i dont think there is much to discuss on this topic. Although racism does exist, we all know that it is WRONG. Stereotyping anyone because of their ethnic background is not acceptable in our society. so anyone who is racist, YOU BETTER STOP NOW!!

I think that there should not be any racism because if this world we live in was to be perfect, we will never recognize people for what ethnic background they come from, what skin colour they are, how they look, we will recognize them for who they really are.

Racism
April 5, 2003 - 11:32 AM

Everyone is different, but we are the same under the eyes of the law. So, why should we be different under the eyes of others, such as your peers? Even though, we are all different, we should all be treated the same way. Such as a black person should be able to do the same things as a white person and shouldn't have to work harder than the white person. Scientists have proven that a black person could be more similar to a white person than another black person.

You are different in your own unique way, there is no wrong way in how you are. Everyone should be able to speak their mind and be able to do what they want with the same honour and dishonour as others. Everyone is different, that's what makes life exciting and an adventure. If everyone on this planet was exactly the same, it would be very boring. For you would know what someone's going to do before they do it, you'll know everything about everyone else and there is nothing to find out about them.

So, in conclusion, I'm going to say one thing to racists;

YOU ARE DIFFERENT, BUT YOU ARE TO BE TREATED THE SAME AS THE NEXT PERSON. YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE TREATED BADLY, SO WHY WOULD THE NEXT PERSON? wink

WRONG

I think that Racism should exist in the first place because it make a big war between them. It is not how they look, its how they are inside.

RACISM-BAD
April 7, 2003 - 01:02 AM

racism is bad because it doesn't matter how you look in the outside, it only matters in the inside. Racism makes people hate each other because of the people's skin colour, beliefs, religion, etc. So we need to eliminate racism for good.


SO STOP RACISM!

People fear
April 9, 2003 - 01:13 AM

People fear of other people because they don't know who that person is. It is not their fault. We should know who is friendly and who is not.

No I do not,but to forget the visage of a killer must be really hard.I never want to findout how hard it is on myself,friends or family.
And if one of the killers would look exactly like somebody I know I would never trust them again. NEVER!!!

I think that there shouldn't be any racism because there there is no reason y people should be racist.We are all human and we should treat each other equally.If racism is going on,wars may start.Also different countries may need services and goods from other countries.If racism does not exist then countries will get along quite well and we will have the products that we need from other countries.So "STOP RACISM NOW!!"

Re: Racism

people fear other people that are different because they feel that they may be right. everybody always wants to be right about what they say, think or believe, wether they know it or not. everybody is different, just some people see others as the same as them because of certain things, eg. skin colour, and treats them as equals while they treat others who aren't the same differently. you dont often hear two "white" people arguing about their colour, because its the same and they consider eachother equal. you may hear them being sexist if ones male and the other female, or arguing about person/spiritual beliefs.

no matter what anybody says, EVERY SINGLE person on this earth IS EQUAL
