Racism and Prejudists

=TeaOfMilniumDragon:iconTeaOfMilniumDragon: reports, March 8
I'm sick of it! Online, at home and even on the streets. Racism and Prejudices. Ok. I am not Racist. I have no reason to be. And I can be prejudiced, but to be prejudice about Gays, Lesbians, Bis, Christians, and atheists... That's really annoying. At least it can be. First of all, to come home and read that someone cussed out an African American on the street and was happy about it, isn't quite what I was hoping to read about, or to read one of my friends journals about a girl in her school, or several kids shoving Christianity down someones throat. I know that they might be trying to help, but just looking at them and saying, "I'm a Christian! Come to my church, NOW, that way you don't have to be a filthy non-believer!", really isn't going to do much. I just need to clarify some things to you all.

Racism.

I hate racism. African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Russians, Germans, Scottish, Irish, English, Hawaiians... The list goes on and on. And the number of people in the world that thinks horribly of these people is hurting everyone. If you are in a store in Moscow, speaking English, 2 out of 10 people might talk about you. Filthy Americans. I've heard that before. Not only here, but everywhere!

Filthy Americans. Filthy Niggers. Ok, today, that word can be used in friendly terms. Believe me, I've heard it. African-Americans share it between their friends, but if someone else said it, it'd be the worst thing to here. I hate it. My friends have said it before. It hurts me that some of my friends would dare to talk like that, but I can't stop them. If any of them said that to one of my African-American, or hell even my African friends, I think I'd have to walk away. I don't like Racism. It kills me.

=Krimson65 has this to say: aside from racism is extremely stupid and i wanna smack anyone rude enough to be like that; no =\

=FairyCosmo has this to say: bad people D:
people with other skin colors are no different. u must cuddle, not kill! *vtforpedro agrees.

*Nin-Kitty has this to say: I'm slightly racist, but I don't say that all black people or Mexicans are dumb or whatever, but the majority of them suck... It's because the majority of the races have set standards and it because of those standards that racism has evolved.

Prejudiced.

There are many types of prejudices. But the vast majority of prejudices in the world are against your sexuality. I, myself, have nothing against anyone's sexuality, but if my grandparents found out about my friends that are gay and bi, they'd have fits. Yes. Sadly, part of my family is prejudiced against sexuality. It makes me angry to listen to them talk about Those girls holding hands or The neighbors are gay, and it's just not natural. Wow. If they knew that I used to talk to a gay guy, I don't have a clue what they'd have to say, but I particularly don't give a damn! I'm not prejudice against sexuality!

~MinakuraAyeka-san has this to say: What you want your sexuality to be is your choice alone. if anyone else tells you otherwise, then screw them. they have no say in your choices!

=Krimson65 has this to say: just more stupidity and i really don't understand why people have a problem with it. it's not like it's contagious or something. if you're happy with a certain person then who's someone to tell you you can't be with them?

All I'm doing is putting in my say in this. I am not Racist, and I am not prejudice against sexuality, or christianity, or any other rights. I hope you all understand.

hmm. when you say you can do nothing about it when your "friends" do stuff like that, it's untrue. If you don't agree with something they say or do against someone else, the wise thing to do is talk to them about it. If they still choose to act that way, then they are not your friends. They are bullies, and it would do you good to disassociate yourself from them.

This probably should have been placed in a journal, not the news, since it is mostly personal views and not just fact. Also, many people may take offense to this for any given number of reasons.

Please be careful and consider what is news and what is not before posting to the news category. <3

Sadly, people in this world won't listen.... So long as there is different cultures and lifestyles, racism and prejudice will ALWAYS exist...

I'm against both as well, but what I REALLY hate is when people use race to advantages, to me using race as an excuse to get ahead is just as wrong.

I just want to punch idiots who start ranting about how much they can't stand gays, blacks, asians, mexicans, muslims, christians, ect, ect, ect. Then yell "They are ALL here, we will be here long after you die. NOW SHUT UP AND DEAL WITH IT." Then walk away. .____.

Come to think of it, I did that to some idiot who lives up the road from me. Only I slapped instead of punched, but I WANTED to punch him. :XD:

It is all about the media and the fact that people are 'afraid' when they see somebody who is 'different'. We have nothing to say about this in the world, because the media let you know that you must be beautiful, of middle length, of middle weight (or in case of fashion: anorexic), black people are bad etc. And those ideas are being picked up by the people, and they teach their children those things and it goes on and on. It won't stop, unless we sue the media for discrimination. And I hope it will come to that eventually, but for now, I have no hope...

I agree with the assessment that racism and prejiduce are all bad... unfortunately everyone is at least a little prejudice. It doesn't take much to set us off, just a couple of days ago, my own prejudice was set off, I hate other people telling others how to live, I get down right angry over it, all most blood thirsty. I know many of you will look at it and say that isn't being prejudice but well... unreasonable hate comes in many different forms. The thing is we all need to learn why we as individuals react that way. I have never met a single person who can't be set off like that, and it has become something I've tried to figure out.

Why do we as human beings seek out conflict? I believe we are all "rebels" without a cause, well some of us have one, but the majority of us are only waiting to find one.
