I Do Not Understand Racist People

if your being tortured would you really be thinking about what race they are? there are billions of evil people in the world and some of them become leaders. some become famous leaders. i dont think it would make a difference if hitler was Asian. many people from many parts of the world have caused more pain and death than that guy. the trans Atlantic slave trade was around for like 2000 years. race didnt matter, your just on the loosing end of the spear. this is how nations were built in ancient times. it was just a way of life.

I don’t think people are as racist as you think they are. I think America is diverse and we’re all trying to coexist. That’s it.

@Spoiledbrat There are a lot of racists in America. And if you haven't had a problem with racism directed against you, you are very lucky.

Sorry to hear. I just think that too many people think it all boils down to something so shallow and I don’t think so. 🙁 @GuyWithOpinions

@CleverFunnyNameGoesHere i have had to deal with racism at points in my life but generally over all it hasnt been bad. what you see on tv and peoples posts, it makes its seem worse than it is. though i know its bad in many places.

People make racially snide comments on occasion but I don’t think that means they’re racist. @CleverFunnyNameGoesHere

@GuyWithOpinions I grew up in a community where racism was very bad. I haven't seen it as much since I've moved to where I currently live, but I've lived in five different states and racism has had a huge impact on every community I lived in until recently.

@Spoiledbrat I find that the things people are actually willing to risk saying, is just a fraction of what they are actually thinking.

Maybe but I don’t focus on it and I don’t feel bad for being me. I just think they’re being nasty and that’s it. We can all be nasty or mean . @CleverFunnyNameGoesHere
