    You can do anything you want racism is here to stay no matter how much we hate it . When someone extrapolates negative feelings it will tie them to differences , whether those are racial , sexual , religious or social ; and while someone's social status can vary and adopt someone can different attitude towards other religions if his/her religion is tolerant there are things we can't change .

    Sexual discrimination and racial discriminations are omnipresent , you only need a bit of alcohol and some shrewd words and you'll discover it in everyone . I don't think we can cure them 100% , what we can do is moderate them and prevent this hatred from going haywire . When I was younger I thought that neonazis are the only racist fuks only to discover that everyone is racists , more terrifying was that i even saw myself have those feelings after being called a racist during arguments . I don't know what the solution is but suppression by law isn't a cure for the cause , it's cure for the effects . I know we can all work together but i don't think there can be a perfect union between all people of the Earth , that is just a childish dream .

    perfect doesn't exist. not now, not before, not past death, never. what we call perfect should be "the best we are capable of achieving today".

    Dang Apoc... that's pretty pessimistic. Thought I was a skeptic, but even I dont think *everyone* is inherently racist. Racism is a learned behavior.

    A little over 100 years ago it was all but illegal to be IRISH in the US... Newspaper ads for employment included "NINA" phrases... "No Irish Need Apply".
    Now it's hard to believe that was an issue.

    If you view black/white relations in the US now vs 50, 100, 200 years ago, the improvement is dramatic. In 50 more years it'll probably be better. Doubt anyone thinks we'll ever see eradication of ALL racism, but I see places where it is less prevalent and places where it has receded. It suggests hope.

    IDK i guess things did improved since the time of the clan and lynch mobs but now you have racial gangs and suicide bombers so to me it just looks like racism has shifted it's showcase . BTW the Irish aren't a race they're a nation :p

    Anyway there's nothing i can do about it other then smack stupid people in the head when they think they're supreme and cut the fingers of the other stupid people that use racism as a excuse .
