In regards to Martin Luther King Day?
I was just watching the history channel and they had a program about neo-nazi's on and I thought to myself "How ridiculous!" How can anyone hate someone based on the color of their skin? I really don't get it, do you? And they were protesting foreigners being in this country, and yet that is what this country is based upon- how "America" started. If you are not a full blood Native American then you are a descendant of a foreigner. I guess my question is Is anyone else sickened by the hate that some people have for absolutely no reason other than the color of ones skin. And if you are a racist- why? Seriously why?? Cause I don't get it.

I agree! Why can't people understand that skin color is only on the outside??
It does not define who you are in any way, and it shouldn't matter what color skin you have.
If only the rest of the world could realize this.

It's a lot more sophisticated that that of why they don't like black people.

Maybe they don't like foreigners because they don't want their country turned into the country these people come from that Political Correctness and Multiculturalism demands from these people while it discourages assimilation.

I think being racist is honestly the most stupidest thing someone can be. It's like they're judging someone on the color of their skin without getting to know the person. Skin color should never matter, it depends on the person's personality. I personally like to make friends with all different kinds of people because no one should feel left out because of their skin. We're all God's creations so we should all treat each other with respect. I can't wait to celebrate Martin Luther King day because of him both blacks and whites can come together. There are so many different types of people in the world it's amazing. I think people are racist because it was the way they were brought up, or they feel since they have lighter skin they should be treated better than dark skinned people. Well i say screw them, we're all equal!!

A lot of people just don't think -- they don't use their brains. They lump people together as groups and refuse to look at people as individuals. A black guy robs them and suddenly EVERY black person is a thief... ridiculous! If a white guy robbed them, would they suddenly see every white guy as a thief? They just don't think. And it's not just one group or another -- all groups of people have people who think this way -- but it's silly and just ridiculous. Some people kind of enjoy being locked in their ignorance -- makes life easier for them... they don't ave to make the effort to get to know people .... they can just see the world in a black and white way and just not have to think!

No one is born a raciest some where along the line they learn to dislike things.
If it is good you like it if someone has treated you bad you dislike it.
Some black's hate whites because they want to blame their problems them.
I am white and have personally never meet a black person I disliked.
The hate thing is not a color thing it is a hate thing.
Nazi,Black Panthers,Islam,KKK,Hells angles just to name a few our evil and they make me sick

I am, and I know exactly what you're talking about. If anything
First: this country belongs to the Native Americans because they were here first.
Second: this country belongs to the Blacks because they basically built it... (slavery)
I think it's ridiculous how narrow-minded and predjudiced some people can be. It's sad and it's really too bad. If only they could realize how ignorant they are.

Because they are morons. They blame all the bad things in their lives on others. Since they aren't very intelligent, they choose something that is obviously different: skin color.
One of the drawbacks of freedom of speech is the right to express one's ignorance.

am i not subjected to racism by minorities because someone of my skin color once owned someone of their color?
