I don't know how people can be rasists. How can you judge a person by the color of their skin or their religion and stuff like that. Rasists make me sick.

^I think it's the fear of the unknown; you don't truly know something unless you experience it, do you? Also, it might not totally be their faults - they might have grown up with it, and having that mindset ingrained for years, they didn't realize it wasn't the best approach.

I once heard a horrible story which made me believe at the time Aborigines are very bad people, to say the least. A elderly woman driving through some country was stopped by a group of Aborigines, and beaten to death, and her car taken.
So, would I have to experience that, so that my dislike for them is solidified?

no, but all races do that. All races have bad people and murders. so it's not like you can single one out.

I think that rasists are people who are ignorent. They do not know anything about other racis or religion. They may even be a little afraid of this type of people.

Yeah, your right.
But a primary reason for racism is because of bad experiences, or close friends with bad encounters etc.

Yeah, racism is a very big issue. I don't think it will ever be stopped.. Like think about it. Today's cartoons pick on societys weaknesses, and racism is deffanitly one. People get pleasure from this, although I will probably never begin to udnerstand why..

Racism is also very limiting. You miss out on others cultures, etc...

Alot of people consider racists people who'll say some thing like Stupid black b*astard although I highly disagree with this my mam says that but she is in no way racist (Except about the goverments system but thats another story) she'll say it like she would say daft ginger tw*t or something like that so although people take it as racism so I think racism is bown way out of propotion the goverment take anything to do with race, color, religion ETC ETC as racist and don't care if these people are racist or not

My neighbors are black and they are racists. Everytime I come down the stairs and they see me, they would tell the other neighbor theres the honkies. Like I could not hear them. I would not in my life call them the n word no matter how mad I get at them. I don't believe in racism at all.
But like I am going to ignore them the best way I can and love thy enemy. I like black people they are nicer than some white but the ones that are my neighbors has issue problems. I am nice, I say hi to them. Just to let them know, I am friendly person. But they don't appreciate that.
I don't know why they are like that but I pray for them.

I can see your point and reasons and I could go into a disscussion about it but that would go off topic some I'm just going to say that I like the way you handle it, its very mature, responsible , nice and oh yeah not racist which is a thumbs up
