I do not understand why people are so cruel to others because they have a different skin color. Rassism in our time is one of the most acute problems

I don't know or understand why some people practice racism and discriminate against one another based on skin color, religion, tribe, or national origin (Nationality). It's unfair and unjust. We should stand together against racism, recognizing that we are all human beings deserving of justice, equality, and respect. Everyone should be treated with kindness and dignity, regardless of their background or differences. We should say NO to RACISM.

Definitely there is, and there is no stopping it as racism is ingrained into people's minds, and same is fed to children's mind's and since childrens do not rebel and directly believe what they say, it continues and cycle repeats with their children.

Unless this cycle breaks somehow, there is going to be no stopping of racism.

the original thread was posted almost 8 years ago but i think the question still stands it would be interesting to see the difference in perspective from people from different years

i don’t think there’s no stopping racism but i think it would be a difficult battle there’s been progress but it hasn’t yet been completed racism was definitely more prevalent way back then compared to now

Racism is one thing that is still an issues as can be seen in sports and entertainment the fact of the matter is that society is still divided under the influence of racial lines they only thing is the world is only pretending to be one  there still exist a deep racial segregation that ongoing, the way and manner people reacts to each other is still under racism and from the international view we still have racism existing infact it is when you go out of your country and gets to the airport of countries that is when you will know that racism is still existing especially Africans traveling out some times they will be delayed in the airport for hours in the name of clearance

We can even say that it is really that something that we could be able to equally be able to have on the same impressions in together with the past. This isnt something that could really be removed or something that could be eradicated yet personal approach into other nationality specially when it comes to the color of the skin then there would really be always that
racism on which it could really be neither up that basing into sports or any other events or just simply that simple day to day living on which it could really be that potentially happen.

Racism is still present in parts of society. For example, some people mock Asian accents or appearances in a way that's clearly disrespectful.

But the only way is to raising awareness and educating people to fight against this kind of behavior.

It’s sad, but racism is still around. It’s hard to believe that people still judge others by their skin color or where they come from instead of who they are. Change takes time, but we need to speak up and keep trying to treat everyone equally. Even small actions can help make things better.

Racism, although it looks to have been completely eliminated, still unfortunately exists now, not generally but in the hearts and minds of people who have been influenced by others who are strong racists. These people may never openly admit to being racist, but from their actions and prejudice towards people of another race, you will be able to tell that they are racist in disguise. Campaigns against racism needs to continue and go on for as long as possible.

It's quite disappointing whenever I read on the news of how some people were racially abused. Whenever I see those who abuse others, I feel that they ain't matured enough (like their level of reasoning is too low). The world is moving fast in terms of technology and development, and some people still feel very comfortable in abusing others racially. That's clearly a sign of immaturity IMO.

The truth is, we will still have this racism around for a very long time. Some people can just be very funny.

Its a big issue for us to have this happen in the human race, we should all rise to fight against it because its what brings about disunity among people, everyone lives without a sense of belonging or having the interest of each others in mind, we should try to discourage other people from going for this act because its unethical, people have to live together with a sense of being responsible for each others.

Racism is still an issue in this part of the world, it is yet to be addressed. That's more reason why every government is kicking against it, not to be in support of it, because they know the dangers it's gonna project in the mind of people to hate one another.

So far so good, we can say that racism has been minimized a bit, not to be compared to before, when certain individuals due to their skin color couldn't enter or be in certain areas

Racism is going to be a big issue if not tackled in the society and among the people, we have to create a kind of mentality or sense of belonging that everyone of us are one, though we may be coming form different part of the world and with various backgrounds, but that does not make it a good thing that some of us should be found engaged in this kind of acts, when there is love and unity, there wont be racism among the people.

Racism is discrimination and prejudice based on people race or ethnicity. Racism can appear in social actions and practices or political systems such as apartheid. which supports the expression of prejudice or hatred in discriminatory practices. Racism is often described as a relatively modern concept, developed during the era of european imperialism transformed by capitalism. So the ideology underlying racist practices often assumes that people can be divided into distinct groups that differ in their social behavior and inherent abilities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior. So this discrimination should be removed and strongly protested against it.

Racism is still an issue and I doubt if we will ever have a world without racism.  As long as humans continue to be self centred and selfish then racism will live forever. Imagine the level of tribalism and discrimination in Nigeria, among people of same origin, root and culture let alone people from different backgrounds, roots and history.

Racism is still a big issue depending on your country because it's when you leave your country and move abroad to especially Africa's that is when you will know that Racism is still a big issue in the world currently till today in football stadiums black players are being called monkeys and abused racially telling you that racist related matters are still there and that the world is only pretending about racism as a topic

You know Africans are very charitable but people may say it's the level of locality but that's not it Africans accepts everyone with open heart but when you go to some countries in Europe damn they love themselves but the racism is high.
So in any racist country everything is an issue

Racism is still a big issue in the world as you can still Year stories of racial discrimination and racial related abuses especially in the Americas and in Europe especially in sports racial sentiment always rises up as monkey chants are sang just to make the team with a Black skin or even from Asia. What I can say is that racism has been more of a lip service as much action has not been taken against offender of racial sentiment

Racism is still an issue in the world today. I have come across many broadcasts and occurrences online which point towards racism and it causes incitement against people of different ethnic. There was one that happened last quarter of 2024 which almost got a country war-torn apart. Indecent discrimination and lots of derogatory statements against certain tribes and ethnicities or against a fellow which incites violence. Racism is still an issue in the world today as many have already been influenced by others and they harbor it right inside their minds and hearts indirectly exhibiting such character under pretense which would be mistaken for a minor issue or misunderstanding.

Racism is till very dominant and existing in several societies, we can only say that it is no more as common as it used to be in the past when it was the order of the day. now people tend to look at the consequences of certain actions before taking them, since there are now penalties for some level of act of racism and this is the exact reason why some people who are actually racist would first take a moment to think about their actions before taking them.
even in online communities like this very one, social gatherings and several other places, you can still be able to spot certain behaviour from certain people that proves that they are actually fucking racists.

This is a global problem that cant really be that resolved out or something that will be that gone because this is kind of personal behavior specially into those races which does have white skin or fairer skin than in compared into those who are tan, dark,black or whatever we can call about it. It is really that hard to remove out this kind of insights about into those people who do have that kind of approach into those people not only just that basing up on the color of the skin but also on how they do treat up other races or nationality basing up on where they do live. If they do live on a poor country then expect that they will be having that kind of treatment. Although not all will be having that kind of treatment but there are places or people who are like this.

I think it will be really hard for the world to totally remove racism completely out of the world because it some thing that is now part of the world that we find ourselves because as far as people move from one country to the other we will continue to hear something about racial discrimination because it's now part of the human character to always see others who are not in our race or tribe to be less than themselves so when ever there is interaction between two races these sentiment always rises up but what is really needed to solve this problem is enlightenment in the part of the people because every race needs to know that no race is inferior to the other and no one is better than the others and that we are here to help each other in the world as no race can exist without having interactions with others races

Yes, racism is an information and a behaviour that a person receives from his childhood and grows up with that same mentality of human inequality and superiority. This is why when I see a racist, I blame the ones that trained and brought him up, because charity they say begins at home, so every single behaviour the child grows up with was first seen at home, so if parents and guardians would be more particular about this very issue and show that children that every human is equal, then children would mostly grow up with that mentality and even when they see other people who practice racism, rather than joining them, they’ll try to make them see every human being as one, regardless of the skin tone, language, religion or race.

I agree with you because it is what the parent put into the children that they grow up with so racism has a lot to do with the kind of information that is given to the child is very important and even the behavior of the parents towards others is really key as they form the basis of the behavior of the children of such people towards others when they grow up so for us to effectively tackle racism then we have to look into our parenting process as it is key in the making process of a child

Very true.
I was going through Facebook Reels on day and bumped into a video where a white woman and her little boy of about 10 or a little older was going for an interview, maybe she had no one to look after the kid so she took him along with her and they bumped into a black man who was decently dressed, he gave the little boy a subtle smile and the boy smiled back, when the mother noticed, he quickly dragged the boy away and warned him seriously never to smile back at any black man because they were all gangsters and they’d hurt him, which was vividly a very wrong message. Kids tend to grow up with whatever message the parents pass to them and should the little guy grow up with such message, it’ll definitely affect him negatively on his interaction with black people. So it’s crucial for parents to mind the message parents pass on to their kids.

Racism still remains an issue where it is being practiced, though we want to believed that this act has been reduced to the barest minimum because the way of exposures in which people are now having and how there have been series of campaigns raised against such act, we should therefore try top condemn on those that are involved in such practices and also try to help those in need out in other for them not to feel we are being partial because of their colour or race.

That's quite extreme, but I'm wondering if their environment affects this. For example, what if the mother got attacked or something in the past, hence why she distrust people without valid reasons? In my place, I can find similar examples where people have bias against other races or social standing. It's hard to change that unless we have enough people influential enough to do a cultural revolution or something similar.

A top-down solution might speed up this process but it's hard to do so because social media is such a huge echo-chamber nowadays.

I get your point, but even if she’s had an awful encounter with a person from a race in the past, I still do not believe it’s enough to justify her actions or validate her feelings about the whole race, I just believe this was the message she received from her childhood, maybe through things she’s seen or been told that has influenced her behaviour to the extent of passing the message across to her children.
It’s such a shame that people often blame or generalize the sins or shortcomings of one man to his entire race even when it has been proven on multiple occasions that every man is responsible for their actions and behaviours.

Luckily, there are no racists in your country anymore, because it is impossible for racism to disappear in a country, where currently this problem is getting worse, plus bullying, it is complete if someone has become a victim of this, life will be depressed forever if they do not try to get out of this unhealthy environment.

I share the same view. On the other hand, I understand that people build their own prejudice based on their experiences. Sometimes they don't even realize it because it comes from their subconsciousness. They'll need another experience similar to the one that affected them in the past to counter it, which is hard to come by since they tend to avoid them in the first place. Not everyone has the time to analyze people based on their actions, so they resort to quick generalization. Hopefully, things will change and more people will realize that doing so will damage their community in the end. CMIIW.

yeah there certainly is anti black racism in the usa.

but we in the usa now have anti chinese
and anti south american


today as i type trumpeter has captured around 1000 illegal aliens and is deporting them.

so if you look south american ie brown man you are suffering from intensive pressure.

it is unfortunate that the world does this.

Yes, it’s all over the internet and especially common in my local area, a third-world country, particularly among children. They’re constantly talking, often discriminating against their peers—it’s even worse when you hear it firsthand. But at the end of the day, they’re still kids, and there’s hope they can learn from these mistakes and improve in the future.

I am 68 in 2 days. Racism is not new to me. I have heard a lot of insults about all kinds of people. Being an Italian Norwegian American you would be surprised  that you can get racial insults. and ethnic insults  but you do. 

Half breed has been tossed at me.
Not really white (as I am Sicilian on the Italian side)  Particularly insulting as I am light brown hair and fairly light skinned so to hear whiter looking people tell me I am not white enough is weird .   

But obviously  others have heard worse depending on where they live and how different they are than the rest of the general area they live in.  I guess it is just something people do to each other.

This makes so much sense.
Some experiences can really change one’s perspective and view about things even without them realizing it. For instance, there are women, due to previous experiences and encounter with men, believes or have this perspective that all men needs from women is sex and just have their way with them, and just like you rightly said, until a similar situation occurs that may likely counter that viewpoint and probably change it. This is exactly why it’s always good to do good in whatever situation one finds himself, because you might not be the only person taking the credit for that act but also your society, religion, race or even gender.

Yeah as an older person I sometimes get the "you are old and stupid look"  Pretty annoying when someone does that.

Haha, I totally understand what that feels like because I do get that too. The younger generation have this flawed mentality that older people think or act in an outdated manner and they know better, which is why they oftentimes tend to act on their own accord, regardless of how many times an elderly person attempts to correct and put them in order.
