Answers:
I am not a racist!.

Racism is not caused by fear, it is taught by people that are ignorant to their children!. No child is born prejudiced, just watch very young children in a day care, preschool or park setting and you will see that they do not segregate themselves!. Parents that make a deliberate decision to teach racism to their children must do it from a very young age or else the child's own sense of fairness overrides what the parents try to do!.

I was nine years old when my father tried to teach me to be prejudiced against blacks!. It didn't work because I already had a sense of right and wrong!. Until that age I had never been around anyone of color, but, by that time I was able to see past skin color and eye shape to see the person within!. I am grateful that my dad waited too long for that lesson!. I was successful in teaching my children that all people are the same - regardless of race, religion, disability, etc!. It is the one thing I know I did right in raising them!.

I wish the rest of the world would wake up and realize that those things don't matter!. We all miss out on knowing some of the best folks around us by being prejudiced!. What a shame!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

What do you mean the real cause!? The simple and "real" cause is people being judgmental, assumptive, generalizing, and just plain hate-y!. They don't take the time to get to know people; they believe stereotypes; they are prideful i!.e!. slavery!.

I am not racist!. I admit that because of all the cirrculation of stereotypes/generalizations that I can't stop from automatically thinking things; but I don't let those things affect the way I REALLY think about people, and definitely not how I act towards them!.

People are like candy!. You might have a first impression of how it'll be based on all the colors/shapes/wrappers, but in the end they're all just sugar (all the same)

EDIT
I have to admit though, some people use racism against people!. For example, at volleyball tryouts, a black girl didn't make it (I saw her; she was terrible) and her mom starting yelling at the coaches, saying that her daughter didn't make it out of racism against black people!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think your environment is the real cause of most racism!. Fear of "difference", enforced by the people around, based on how it "has always been"!. I believe I was raised by a racist Father, but he just didn't know any better!. I am not a racist!. The color of ones skin doesn't make or break anyone in my book!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

pride!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
we like those that look like us, act like us, live in same area as us, and share same opinions!.!.!.
look at how we engulf ourselves into condemning the other team, condemning other country, state, or region, condemning other political party!.!.!. this is all much the same as condemning others because of the way they look!.!.!. it is not just race, it is even how we look with what we wear, how our hair is done, and what age we look!.!.!. my grandfather was black, i look white, my wife is 1/2 black 1/2 chinese, and i still have to fight off racism that was taught to me because my parents were from an ignorant time, i was educated in public school, and i was sheltered from exposer to other races & cultures!.!.!. our children will be the perfect hybrid for a peaceful future as they will look at the parents & grandparents they love and respect & see many colors, many religions, and many cultures & thus will find it hard to hate what is part of them!.!.!. thus the proof that we hate what is not us, because we take so much pride in ourselvesWww@Enter-QA@Com

Differences cause racism-if all races joined and there was only one type of look then it would be the short person would be bad or the people with glasses, etc!. There will ALWAYS be discrimination in some form or another and EVERYONE is subjected to it so I wish we would just over it and move on with our livesWww@Enter-QA@Com

too many generalizations about races!. once you find one thing that labels an entire race that you don't like then you have a somewhat valid reason to be racist towards that group!. i'm not racist, but like i said, i have generalizations of certain racesWww@Enter-QA@Com

the real cause is peoples need to feel better about themselves!. Most ppl who are racist put ppl down to feel good about themselves or to fit in with ppl that they grew up with that harbor the same negative thinking!. And definitely not!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
