I just finished watching some YouTube video, can't really remember the name, but it's the comments that just made me feel sad for the world.

Some comments left were "damn black pieces of sh*t need to go back to Africa" or "I hate black people, they are so ignorant".

And I know these are people who act totally different away from the computer. But the thing is I hate hate how my fellow African Americans constantly complain about racist Caucasians when on the internet I also found comments like "dumb as crackers think they run ****" or "Ha-ha crackers, you mad cause my "d*ck is bigger than yours"

What is this world coming to? I feel like no matter what we do there will always be racism. Its times like this I just decide to give up on trying to sway people into accepting one another.

Maybe if this world wasn't so segregated we wouldn't have this problem. Maybe we should stop trying to differentiate between ethic groups. I mean we have a network called BET - Black Entertainment Television. Why complain about discrimination, than have a channel then have a channel that exclusively shows programs where African Americans have most influence.

Sure you might say "Well what about Telemundo", but the thing about that channel is that that network is merely providing programs in another language. They even take American movies and translate them into Spanish (Its either this channel or another Spanish Network.)

I really don't have a religious beliefs because I can't understand how a divine power would allow all this to occur. This "freewill" bullsh*t really annoys me. I don't care if I control everyone lives; if i created a species I would not allow all this to happen. (Or have my followers suffer and wait until I return)

What do you guys think. Do you think we Americans, and even the rest of the world will ever be accepting to others. We know the earth is AT LEAST 6,000 years old (whether you're christian or Atheist) and we STILL discriminate against those different from us. I personally believe no matter what we do, I will have to look both ways going down the hall to my own apartment.

I find it sad that so many people can't understand that something as stupid as the color of your skin doesn't make you any better or worse then anyone else on earth...



You would never say "That dog with the brown coat is better/worse then that dog with the grey coat because brown coats are the smarter/less smart coat color".



If you ever said that, people would lock you up for insanity...



But the worst part of "Racism" and the very idea of skin color meaning something... ANYTHING... is that you tend to reinforce stereotypes as a way of trying to say that you ARE different...



Whites that feel that they are "Better" just because they are white...



Blacks that allow their "I'm DIFFERENT from white people" mentality to allow them to be bad people just because they feel that if they pay attention in school and get a real job they are "Selling Out" their 'blackness'... Whatever the hell that means...



People that refuse to take responsibility for their own lives and then blame others perceptions of them to negate responsibility for your station in life.



THE BEST THING FOR AMERICA WOULD BE TO SEND EVERY SINGLE BLACK AMERICAN ON VAYCATION TO AFRICA.



Let them go back and spend 2 weeks there... All expenses paid...



See how women are held down and have their genitals sliced off and sewn up...



See how it is to live in a mud hut and feel grateful that you are able to eat today...



See how it is to live in a culture where there are MILLIONS of AIDS Orphans...



See how it is to be denied schooling because a female is on the rag...



See how it is to sell your daughter in to SLAVERY to pay off YOUR debts...



SLAVERY IS STILL HAPPENING IN AFRICA RIGHT NOW...



The Jessie Jackson and "The white man is denying black schools money just to hold us down!" and "I didn't get that job because I'm black" retards ALL need to go see exactly how good they have it here and that if they pull their OWN HEADS from between their butt cheeks... They may just be able to drop the "Because I'm Black" nonsense and just be AMERICAN.

I know it's frustrating, but try and keep in mind things have come a long way in just 40 years, since the Civil Rights Movement.



I grew up (in Detroit) watching Star Trek as a kid, where everybody got along and worked together.

When Obama was elected President I admit I did get choked up.



Things take time, but through education it will continue to get better.

You are taking videos from a statistically insignificant group of people. Actual racism and discrimination in the real world is a thing of the past. It is just used as a convenient excuse when something doesn't go their way or Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are having camera withdrawals.

i think that there will always be some sort of racism... everywhere. when i think of people i never think of what nationality they are.. i think that the people who are racist are segregating themselves.. for example my uncle just died a couple of weeks ago and we had the services at this tribal community center and since he wasn't that kind of indian they said that if a tribe member died they would push my uncles back because tribe members come first.. I THINK THAT IS SO RACIST.. or even the BET i think that is racist just because of the name. idk there is so many ways people will look at this.. this is just my view. the people that are racist are the people that have nothing better to do than think they are better in some way than everyone else.

Seems that we'll never get rid of discrimination and racism of some extend as long as all of us aren't the same colour. It's really stupid, labelling someone according to the color of their skin. I get dissed so much for dating a black guy (i'm asian) from both my race and his race. I don't know why it's such a problem.

Pride, that's all it is. Proud to be white, proud to be black.



Maybe that is why it is on the list of seven things not to do.
