you said that people observe other races, notices things, and develop racist opinions based on their observations. however, there are people that hold racist opinions but have not interacted with the groups that they are prejudiced against. therefore I contend that racism isn't an acquired characteristic, but is innate.
 
Experience, and common sense. I am going to trust a white guy walking down the street toward me more than a black guy.
 
I find it interesting that rape statistics show that white men typically only rape white females, while black men rape both black and white females.


I think it's because the black men already have the HIV.
 
I GREW UP WITH ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE. ALL PEOPLE THAT BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY TO WHAT YOU THINK PEOPLE SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE, MAKE YOU RACIST AGAINST THEM...

I HATE ALL PEOPLE EQUALLY
 
So you are saying that black people aren't racist and its only white people?

coming from Chicago
 
In general, white person fails, they blame it on themselves, the other person, the situation, the past that brought them to that failure. Sometimes they try hard to rise above this, other whites are lazy and fail and are content with not reaching their goal and they become worthless.

For black person it is the same situation they can blame the same things but they also have the white man keeping me down and race card to play so it just creates another thing to blame for why they didn't reach their goals.

This small % difference creates a "more content with failure" attitude.
 
I don't do this for people I am getting to know, but a person I don't know is getting stereotyped.
 
Walk into any depressed area and watch the communication between the people. I'm not saying its strictly a black thing because it isn't. I'm not saying eveybody who lives in a depressed area is stupid.

I think we are talking about 2 different things.
