Why are people on the internet racist? Why does discrimination still exist? Throwing around the N-word or the C-word just shows how uneducated people are. Does anyone know the impact of these words?
All of it is really stupid. In my opinion, racism/ignorance is probably the worst thing, besides war, to ever exist. But what do you guys think?? Comment your own opinions I'm curious.

"In my opinion, racism/ignorance is probably the worst thing, besides war, to ever exist."
Totally agree there. I'm also including any sort of bigotry based on how someone looks (fat, skinny, whatever) because that's really the root of all hate. The thing is, I think it will always exist in humans, just like crime. There will always be people who are so ignorant and fearful and desperate that they'll use any excuse to hate & hurt others.
So I guess, as with crime, the best we can do is have laws to punish or lock up the offenders. It won't fix the human race but maybe it'll make it safer for those who don't play the stupid hate game.
PS I was raised in a very racist household, so I still feel that instinctive "training" to hate/fear anyone who looks different. But that's exactly why I go out of my way to be nice to everyone equally, to prove to myself that I'm better than my upbringing. I believe racism is 100% learned, but it's possible to unlearn it.
ReplyPS I think people are extra racist on the internet because they are cowards. They know they can't act like that in the real world so they do it by hiding behind a screen.
ReplyBecause these silly humans have silly prejudices, always desperately looking for something easy to hate.
ReplyIt is normal for people to be racist. When New York was discovered the first to arrive were the Dutch who settled in wooden huts. Then the English came and the Dutch were going to fight them to keep them away but the English had huge guns on their ships and could easily beat the Dutch. So the English lived there as well. and the Dutch thought they were better than the English because they were there first. Then other nationalities turned up and each one thought they were better than the ones that came after. The last to arrive were the Irish (because of the potato famine), and black Africans. Because these two nationalities were last they could only get the lowest paying jobs and were competing for them. The park in New York was created so that people in those days could get off the streets and away from the racism. In The Bible Jesus when Jesus was performing miracles He was visiting people when there was a knock on the door. He was told there was a woman asking for Him. He saw that the woman was from another race and a different religion and when He asked her what she wanted He called her a dog. She replied that her sister was sick and told Him that even a dog is fed scraps from its master. Jesus told her that her sister was cured and sent her on her way. So racism has always existed and it is a bit late to do anything about it now.
