Anti-Racism(Unity)
Are you racist? Are you judgemental?
You may say your not racist or judgemental, but is that true? When you talk to someone and you describe a friend do you ever catch your self saying, oh my brown, chinese or black friend so and so? Have you ever thought about why you tell people that? It's because you know we all have judgements of each other, when you tell someone your friends race, or religion your trying to give someone a better understanding of who that person is. But in truth, your giving that person a reason to judge out of ignorance who that person really is. Why is it when some people look at a black person they think, "oh he must be a thug" or even when they look at a nammer? Even if a lot are, it's not right to paint them all with the same brush is it? I think all of us youth face stereotypes like this each day, yet we carry them over even though we are so against them. I'm sick of this ignorance we all carry so strongly, this stupid mind of ours that judges what we have no right to judge. I wish this hole world could just live in Unity without words to describe someone's colour or race, nothing to keep us all divided. I know I can't change the world, but I can change what lies within me. In the name of humanity what could be better than living in peace and harmony? Sharing all our cultures, respecting each other's beliefs and way's of life.

i think there's always going to be SOME degree of racism... although i wouldnt really call it racism. i mean, i wouldn't really consider saying something like "my chinese friend" or "my white friend" racist because its not.. its just describing who they are. i think there's good racism and bad racism...
as long as we dont hold their own culture and race against them, then its not racism.. atleast thats how i see it john 2899131

That is very true..
I don't really mind being called "white boy" by my friends cause I call them all sorts of shit, as long as it's friendly and you don't mean it in a bad way, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.. I'm actually kind of an asshole towards white kid's, calling them "stupid white boys" which is fucked up cause I'm white.. I dunno, white kid's are into different shit than me and I gotta learn to accept that.. I'm such a freaking EGG..

we need more racism towards the human race alltogether
like i'm talking slavery, segregation, the whole 9... then they can find some scapegoat spokesperson and we can assassinate him. we're not making enough history these days anyways... the world needs MORE hate. i mean it's not like you see people doing good deeds in a social studies textbook. history comes from EVIL MOTHERFUCKERS. so be evil. be racist. discriminate. slam doors on the elderly. steal the brown kids' bike. and kill whitey. vive le revolution

i think everyone is racist...not in a bad way..but enuf to realize the different cultures and respect them...cuz u gotta acknowledge that there are many differences between all the cultures as well as similarities...i've seen others being racist..i've experienced it..i've even been racist before..especially back in gr.2...and i dunno....there's lots of it where people aren't use to other cultures and there's just as much where people live in a multicultural community...people are always gonna be judgemental and prejudice in one way or another and nuthin's gonna change that cuz its in human nature...and about stereotypes...youths aren't the only ones who face it..everyone does..and i think with the judgementalness (<--that even a word?)..comes the stereotyping...people stereotype others maybe to understand them better..or maybe just cuz they wanna seem like they know who/how that person is...its unstoppable..i mean..when u first meet sumone..on first impressions..don't u classify them as a certain type of person..until u get to know them better?..anyhoo..too much rambling for me..~

i think this subject is very senitive ... it's been around for so long that it so sad but many ppl have become desensitized
But what can u do .... i would like to say that i'm not racist but i know i joke w/ all my friends when it comes to their race and they do the same w/ me. But when can u say that it is racism and when it isn't .... u can't ... even if ur joking it's still a racist slur ... i guess it depends how u take it. But then what if we all decided to forget our differences and live in 'unity' .... what would make us unique , what would set us apart.
