Racism - Can we stop it?

Why can't we just love everyone?

Racism it's a global issue and effects our every way of life. It comes in all forms, and is completely unnecessary. We have been all guilty of it at one time or another, but are you willing to help stop it. First we have the group called the KKK, they have done horrendous things to African Origin, they call them colored, but who really are the colored ones?

We turn blue when we are cold, green when we are sick and red when we are in the sun to much, guess they never thought of that one did they! And why, what do they get out of it, we are all human and in fact the African origin have done amazing things in this world. Martin Luther King for example, one of the greatest orators in American history. He became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation. What about Eddie Murphy he became a Golden Globe Award-winning American actor. Along with a large amount of other African people. A lot of people say that is stems from the poor people in Africa, but is that there fault, NO! We don't choose what we are born into, its just what is in our destiny. There is also racism in small things like they way we live, our religion, the way we talk or perhaps cook our food. It is really bad when we have to create hate crime laws because of our ignorance. If you look at it we are in a way just fighting ourselves. If there was a little child different then you or perhaps doesn't speak your language lost and standing there crying for its mother, would you just walk by. Well a lot of people will, what has happened to our world. Where has the compassion gone where has equality gone? Then there is the middle east, we send our loved ones there to kill, or get killed is that right, why , and what for? There are people sleeping on the street corner, perhaps because of choices they make or perhaps of lack of choices they have. Did you know in the USA there are children homeless cause of their governments ignorance? Isn't that call treason? I have been to the States and I was so sad at the things I seen, maybe it was where I went down there, maybe it wasn't, from what I see and hear its all over. We are all human have some respect for one-another.

Educate yourself about racism

    i feel the same as most of you i just dont understand it . i grew up in a small town in ohio and ive seen the white on black and black on white hate ive stood on the sidelines long enough and for my 3 sons sake it has to stop . im not meing racist but its like if you broke it down to different types of monkeys ya know chimps, orangatangs , howler , makack , gorilas . they are all different yes but when you break it down they are all monkeys and in that we are all human being , homosapians to be scientific . there is no difference in my eyes only different pigmentation in skin color . ive seen the latest videos of blacks saying that if obama is killed then damn all white people , and the white kkk people saying that a war of races is comeing . that leaves me wondering where i can take my family to survive . it scares me deep down to think that people of any race, creed, or religion could think this way . i just hope soon the hate stops , please if not for me , then atleast for my sons .

    It is not possible to stop racism when people use it to convenience, and I am not going to quote names here,but everyone saw it in the pass canmpaing. Pres.Cliton said that senator Obama oposition to the Irak war was like a Fairy tale. Senator Cinton said "that it took a president to pass the civil rights. What was the reaction of Senator Obama and Mr.Obama? Well, everyone knows. Missinterpretation or calculated use of prejudicial racism looking for a beneficial reaction?, Then there came the final campainging in S>C. And everybody saw and heard Senator Obama's language. Everyone who had lived under a Black roof understood and felt embarrassed of what was going on there.
    How you are to end racism if you use if you wrapp yourself in that flagg to make people feel sorry for you when there is not reason?
