Why is there so much racism in this country?!?
Answer:
I have to agree there is some racism in this country.. in every country for that matter. Unfortunately people are people and not gods. None of us are perfect and we do carry some sin. Racism being one of them, We can only cure that thro understanding of each other. i do not think it is wrong if there is someone you particularly do not like. Not everyone is going to love everyone.. that just is not human nature. The important thing is that we do not hate a whole race because of one person from that race. If i don't like Bill or Mary... and one of them is black and one green... i should not decide to hate all black and green people. I think we must learn ourselves and teach our children... judge the person on who they are, not what they look like. And certainly not on how wealthy or attractive they are either. too much superficiality in this world already
America was founded on racism, the ( not all ) white settlers way too lazy to do any real work, using African slaves. America being a brand new country with very little history, and almost no culture is still in its infancy, and experiencing growing pains still. I do not say this with malice, but in the scope of things, America is very very young compared to most countries.
I believe a lot of racism is handed down from generation to generation. But someone needs to put a stop to it in there generation so that it doesn't keep going on forever!
it is a powerful way to divide people - if people are divided they are very easy to con troll - fear is another way to effectively control people.
Because 14 million illegal aliens are backed by Mexican Racist Hate Group LaRaza.
"For our race everything, for all other races nothing."

The conservative-biased media has but one mission: stir up as much hatred, bias, prejudice and bigotry as possible to keep the country divided instead of trying to unify us, which could break the stranglehold Republicans and Democrats have on a monopolistic, obscenely corrupt two-party political system that gives voters no real choices. -RKO- 07/06/07
The problem with people pointing fingers on issues like this, is that there are 4 more pointing back at you..
I agree with RKO...just stirring it up so it can be the next election issue like how boys kissing was the big deal in 04'
It's just there. It will never go away...
Loving our Country and wanting our Laws to be obeyed,
somehow makes us racist, I think not.
Actually there is no more and no less racism in the US than there is in any other country. Americans are incredibly generous, warm and welcoming--to people who enter this country through legal and legitimate means.
There is, however, a growing anger and frustration that we are being taken advantage of by criminals who disrespect our laws ..forcing us to spend ungodly sums of monies on education and healthcare for every seeking a handout non-tax paying illegal.

The "white" Mexicans are by and large of Spanish descent, and were the ruling class in days of old. They still have that caste system drummed into their heads, and consider the "Indian Mexicans" and "Aztecas" and such to be the peasant, servant, working class. It isn't that they hate them, per-se, it's more a disrespectful, I'm better than you sort of thing. Much as the European descendants treat the Blacks, Asians and American Indians of the United States, The former white ruling class treated the South Africans, the French treated the people of Southeast Asia, and the Brits treated damned near everyone else, from Ireland to India, to the Carribean. It's just left over caste system discrimination.
Hope this helps.
My own research of historical discrimination of different.""
Liger, that might mean you can not read. read the question again.
i think there still is a lot of racism.
especially in this country.
but some are really just mad about this illegal immigration stuff.
you have the right to your opinion.
That is a serious charge from a leftie. Please cite specifics.
I think illegals brought a great deal of it when they came here.
I hate to shoot you down but Hispanic is a culture not a race. There are Hispanics of the white race and Hispanics of the black race. To be of the white race you must be white, to be of the black race you must be black. You all just speak Spanish. Now if you want to talk about racism between whites and blacks , that exists because people are narrow minded and stupid. When it comes to immigration it is not the U.S. citizens fault that 80% is Hispanic. We just want our borders guarded and illegals punished. All illegals, NOT JUST HISPANICS.
why is there starvation and war?
What a surprise. I looked it up in the dictionary and "illegal" had no connotation of race.
There's a difference between racism and being A LOYAL AMERICAN.
When Americans start putting themselves first and the visitors second, there will be far less racism. Blacks and whites agree on that! They speak English!

"America was founded on racism"
I would say Islam is more rooted in racism than all of America.
"America is very very young compared to most countries."
Isn't is wonderful to be the best nation in the world and yet be so young...compared to most countries?
