Perhaps this is gone about the wrong way?
Should racial differences be embraced rather than rejected?
I am not saying that we linch every member of an opposite race we see; I am saying that we could recognize the distinct cultures of the world as accomplished members of society.
Hugh Hefner once said back in the seventies, "racial prejudice will not be as bad once we start seeing more coffee coloured children around". Basically, what he means is inter-marriage.
Intermarriage has a great effect on racial prejudice, and will continue to do so.

Not something worth posting, which is a reason many threads get closed. Maybe you are illiterade(oops spellsed its wrohg).
By the way, you're looking at my post superficially, looking through the parts that offend you and not seeing the point i was saying. You tried to contradict almost the whole post(which is wasting a post) and the point still is, Prejudice and Racism are different, and nothing is wrong with the basic concept of either. I said prove that racism and prejudice is a bad thing, not oppose things in my post you don't like. And i won't do any of that replying to ur post crap since it would just escalate wasting thread space, not to mention you're a one-sided opinion person(in opinion).
I agree with captain will, racism can't simply go away, it's like an emotion we gotta learn to control it.
Pyscho-(Oh yeah, the thing about the people stealing a purse, it's based on fact. For one, you're on the street which would imply a city, minorities live in cities, city folk are usually poor, most thieves are african american in the city[or latin]. It's fact, saying what if 5 black men came up to u with crowbars has nothing to do with it, i said nothing about weapons, or them looking like gang members. I said 5 regular black men. Not to mention you missed the whole point of it. I'll let that be the only thing i address)

I said prove that racism and prejudice is a bad thing
*Racism:
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
**Prejudice:
1.
a. An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.
b. A preconceived preference or idea.
2. The act or state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions. See Synonyms at predilection.
3. Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group, race, or religion.
4. Detriment or injury caused to a person by the preconceived, unfavorable conviction of another or others.
I think prejudice and racism is bad because it hurts more people than it helps. What if everywhere you went you were given the evil eye, what if you couldn't hang out with the majority, simply because of the general culture of your people.
The fact is, you shouldn't be weary of 5 guys approaching you because they're black, you should be weary because you're in a rough neighborhood. Just like you shouldn't be walking up to 8 white people doing dangerous drugs in the alley.
Wow, I went through all that without insulting you directly once. That's quite an accomplishment.

This whole racism thing... it was and is a question of majorities and minorities, power and weakness.
When white people came to Africa, they were considerably technologically advanced compared to the Africans. They saw that the Africans were poorly organised and easy targets, so they exploited them, and racism grew out of the technological superiority of white Europeans (by white, I also mean hispanic, as Spain and Portugal were major world powers at the time).
Imagine an alternative scenario, where Europe was discovered by technologically advanced African people. The Europeans were technologically backwards, so the Africans did the natural human thing to do (unfortunately) and exploited them for their own gain. Racism was generated towards white people because they were seen as inferior technologically. If you take this scenario into account, you can see that white people are not inherently racist and evil - all races are the same - and will oppress a less technologically advanced race because they can easily dominate them.
Also, racism is always directed by a majority, against a minority (or by the powerful against the powerless). We traditionally think of white people being racist towards other races, and they are in our societies, but take the country of Zimbabwe (formerly Southern Rhodesia) as an opposing case. In Zimbabwe - white people are victimised by a black majority under crazed dictator Robert Mugabe. There was a spate of murders or white farmers a few years back, and Mugabe still seizes land from the farmers. It would be unfair to say that a majority of the black people in Zimbabwe are involved in the racism - it's only a smal proportion - just as it is only a small proportion of white people who commit acts of racism against black people. The difference in Zimbabwe is that the racists have government support.
Although this ramble doesn't really have a point, I'd like to say that racism seems to be an inherent characteristic in humans which isn't going to go away. Some humans must have a racist gene or something.

Um... you have a theory of the power thing, which could be true, but not necessarily be THE reason. Maybe it had to do with looks or culture? We may never know.
And racism is not always with the majority. Minorities can discriminate as well. In past africa, the majority of the population was african, yet the caucasion people thought they were inferior, so therefore, the minority was racist.
Though this thread is about racism, the rule applies universally that judging someone at all, is a bad thing. As seen in the past, sometimes it can go too far.

Yes, the exception is where you get a powerful minority oppressing a powerless majority.

You've been saying it's right to deny people of a race respect. I've been saying your example is flawed because you don't need to know the colour of their skin to make them any more dangerous. Contrary to your beliefs, not all white people are rich. Just because a lot of murderers are white doesn't mean I shun other white people because I'm worried they'll kill me.

I heard somewhere (I can't remember where) that 30% of the homocides committed in the United States in 2004 were from African-Americans. Approximately 10% of the U.S. population is African-American. That means that blacks commit three times as much homocides per capita than whites.

Any amount of racist prejudice is inevitable because people make generalizations.
Let's say Person A is white. Person B is black. Person B does something Person A thinks is stupid, so Person A makes a generalization and thinks all black people are stupid.
