No empowers is right a lot of blacks get a pass these days because everyone is afraid to call them out on their playing the race card BS in fear of being labeled a racist.

A lot of racism is promoted these days. I remember being racist when small because of all the talk around me but then when I became a teen I began to see it for what it was. It was wrong and I was ashamed. That was many years ago. So much has changed or so I thought. Blacks must be careful these days not to be influenced by those promoting racism for a salfish gain.

What is the cause of a nation electing a total incompetent to the highest office in the land, who is a racist himself? What were they trying to prove?

Education and intelligence, I beg to differ. I have been around lots of intelligent college educated very successful black and white people who will not give Latinos or Asians the time of day. I also know people who most would call redneck country hicks that never finished high school who don't care what you like, as long as you show them respect you will get it in return.

A lot of if not all the comments already stated I totally agree with. Me, I think people just naturally need something to blame things on so they really don't have to actually look at themselves. Racism is just another way to pass the buck along

You can't wait till a child is school age to get the racism and prejuidice outta them...by the time a child is at the latest 6 years old....they already had preconceived notions about all manner of behaviors...we have got to stop depending on the schools and governments to change the ways of the world....


there is nothing more miserable for all involved, than trying to change the mind/heart and behavoirs of an already confused and frustrated child...especially when they start school!

Lack of education.(But I do argue that its really a lack of intelligence. A person can be intelligent, but not educated. Its like a fast car with no where to go)


Archaic tribalism.

Fear of the unknown/outsiders.

Racism is taught and learned at a very early age. Parents passing their thoughts on to their children. School and Education is the way to overcome theses preconceived thoughts. We can education ourself with the use of a computer but seeing what and how other people react is one way to over come being prejudice

I don't know, God was pretty much racists back in the day...I mean he/she/it did clear out the Promised Land...


We need a God much bigger than one that would do something of that nature, don't ya think???
