I don't think it will ever stop 😔 Best we can do is surround us with loving people and pray for those affected by it as well as standing up for them if possible.

No, Racism will always be a thing, it doesn't matter where someone might be from or the colour of their skin, Racism exists in all Races. Discrimination is very much the same, people will discriminate against each other based on anything, whether it be what town you grew up in, the colour of hair, skin or eyes, right down to political opinions or whether you are religious or not or whether you believe in the right religion or right version of that religion.


None of it will go away, it always exist to plague humanity.

no.. it won't. you have to look deep into what it really is.. it's not about race.. it's never been about race. it's about tribalism and how human beings naturally align with *like* and are suspicious or hostile towards *difference* it manifests itself in a hundred different ways in the world. race is just one of those ways. ultimately individuals can evolve past their darker instinctive natures.. but to expect everyone to be on the same page from day one and throughout their whole lives is a pipe dream.

Nope. Been around since the beginning of time.

I wish, but probably not.

I really hope so

Racism is the worst thing

Humans tend to collectively seek those who closely resemble us. Discrimination is rampant but not exclusively racial. It also follows social economic lines, some handicaps, religions, and political affiliation. It is divisive.

Unfortunately I don’t think it will whilst individually people can try to recognise their prejudices and try to address them a good example is I think Liam Neeson or another celebrity Actor, realised they felt prejudice about a certain aspect, owned up to it and apologised for having had that prejudice which is the positive way to deal. Hopefully more people would be like that and teach their children to not discriminate or recognise if they feel it and apologise for it or something then try to change their feelings to be more positive towards others

not in our lifetimes. but is HAS gotten better.
and the recent flare up is a good sign, if we can keep cool

No, because it’s been part of human history since humans came into existence.

Unfortunately there will always be those that will find a difference to exploit.

afraid to even say this but scientifically speaking because people are going to take it the wrong way and react from the gut. but there are valid theories about our brains being wired by evolution to be racist (l/r people who look different met with suspicion or threatened off meant fewer chances of the disease spreading for instance) so the impulse live in most of us. it has been tested and even the most progressive people show bias unintentionally. but we can make sure laws are set up for equality and attempt through effort and honest reflection keep ourselves in check as a society... if race, not such a polarising subject and can be discussed openly instead of being either ignored ot used to divide we would all be much better off...

unfortunatley no in my life time... but still live in hope

sadly no
or at least not while there's human life on this mortal coil

It comes from both sides of it plus when ever it seems to die down the media blows it up again

No. Human beings little to no excuse to hate one another. They will grasp on to the most obvious differences first and then move on to more subtle elements. Race, gender, weight, height, glasses, where you live, how you speak, sexual orientation, are you "too nice".

All of these elements and more are used as justification for a range of actions from simple dislike to physically attacking or worse. But in reality, humans need no excuses, attacking each other is about the only thing we're really good at as a species.

And as long as there are more than 2 people on the planet, such behavior will continue.

no,somebody will always be discriminated against,

when i am pushed or told not to be with people i get really pissed off , I will be with whoever i want , No one can tell me not to be friends with some one i want to .

I would hope so, but we seem to still be controlled by that fear of others displacing our own traditions and values.
I too wish we could have the courage to honour others and our differences, and know that the world is big enough for us all

I would say these days it’s going back the wrong way, after decades of progress it is slipping at an alarming rate.
Mainly due to the rise of Alt-Right media and heavy-right leaning world leaders.

No

Kiara, so much has changed in America since you posted this over 2 years ago. When you have time, do publish a new post with your new thoughts on this critical topic. :)

No

Racism is growing out of fashion in the western world but it is only one of many "isms" that is part of human nature that makes one elevate himself at the expense of others. So, even if we totally eradicate racism, there will be some other forms of baseless hate that causes people to pre-judge others. Mind you, I am all for well-placed hate. If someone did you wrong, you can hate them. It would probably be healthier to forgive them and move on but at least it makes some sense. But people have baseless hate that is generally rooted in insecurity and jealousy.

Sadly not in my lifetime, but I hope many years down the road it will be fade away.

But it likely will take a long time. Even the progress of the last half century has been uneven.

Not completely, as there’s the potential for it in all of us; however, I think it’s reasonable to hope for a vast improvement over our current situation.

Probably not in our lifetime.
I have a hard time believing it even exists.
It makes no sense.
I guess there are just a lot of scared people in the world.
I can't think of any other reason for racism and discrimination, but fear.
So sad. 😔

Love is skin deep, if one cannot accept the difference. It cannot love the other. The discrimination is not limited to color but also how minds think and its will.

The powers that be have always used race, religion, money, you name it to keep people divided. If we weren’t divided we’d have no need for them now would we?

It's sad and shameful

Kiara, what's your opinion? My thoughts are that they won't end for a very long time. 😔

No, as long as an individual seeks to put down another through a perceived difference or weakness, classic bullying, it will continue.

I very much doubt it, though we can learn from other people's shortcomings

No, but hopefully it can become less than currently.

No. As long as their a people who are different from each other, there will be discrimination.

No, the bigger the deal they make of racism the more it will be in the news and the more it will go on...eventually when our grandkids grow up, it might be less evident...

Its unfortunately present all over the world but lets hope so

Maybe we can change one person at a time through education.

stopped no unsupported by society at large is a possibility.

It's human nature for humans to hate one another it's been that way for years and years not likely to stop anytime soon the world would be a better place if all humans could get along though

I have hopes that racism will stop once humans will reach another level of consciousness.

Yes. It is scheduled to stop on Tuesday at 8:00am PST.

Not with the way the world 🌎 is right now

Doesn't seem like it :-/ Wish it would tho.

I don’t think it will but I wish it would
