I Hate Racism and Discrimination

I was watching [i]American History X[/i], and I just don't get racism, man. I just don't get it.

It doesn´t make sense. And to indoctrinate children into hating others for their skin colour is tantamount to child abuse.
Well said. 👏

hold on now they don't know any other way to raise children because they were raised the same way. it all starts before any of us can even imagine.
@bigbear170: Exactly, child abuse.
@Underconstruction: Yup. Abuse tends to be cyclical.
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
it's not abuse it's what they were taught and I would like to see yall raised the same and try to come out with the same beliefs as yall do right now. ypu can't just label some thing yall dislike as child abuse that in itself is racists
@bigbear170: Oh, the ignorance.
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
Oh realy the ignorance? and why do you think that?
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
@Underconstruction: that's how there daddy was raised and his daddy and his daddies daddy. it's how they were all raised if they gave no idea how to raise differently it's no fault there own.
@bigbear170: Just because they're indoctrinated into a belief system, doesn't excuse the fact that what they believe in is horrible. Just like if a person was abused as a child, that does not give them an excuse to abuse their own children. It might [i]explain[/i] why said behavior occurs, but it does not [i]excuse[/i] it. Humans were granted the ability of free will. You can only blame yourself if you don't exercise it.

Also, please look up the definition of "racism". No, it's not "racist" to label something as child abuse.
@Killers: Agree. Humans also have the ability to think on their own and break free from the chains of ignorance and racism.

@Killers: I'm not saying racism as allright to teach to your children cause it's the way you yourself was taught but they do not know any other way of life and like construction said yes we have free will and the ability to choose but it's also extremely difficult to go agaist the way you've been living your whole life

and I wasnt saying it was racist to label racism as child abuse is said it's racist to label some into you dislike as child abuse
@bigbear170:
Did you really just say "[b]it's racist to label some into you dislike as child abuse[/b]"? No it's [u]not[/u]. That is [u]not[/u] what racism is at all. Look up the definition of racism, [u]please[/u].

It may be extremely difficult to change your beliefs, but it still doesn't excuse you from holding those beliefs.
@bigbear170: Please tell me you're a troll. 🙏
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
no no it not a troll 😑😑

@Killers: look killers were obviously not going ro.agree on this so why don't we just drop this before it turns into something stupid
@bigbear170: If you're not a troll, then I pity you, man. But, yeah, I'll drop it gladly.
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
now hold up you " pity " me. you better explain that
@bigbear170: Nah, man. You said you wanna drop it. It's been dropped. Go home.
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
now hold on we dropped the racist subject were talking about a whole new ball game now buddy now please tell me how you pity me
@bigbear170: The "pity" part [i]was[/i] related to the whole "racism" situation. Like I said, we're done. Chillax.
bigbear170 · 26-30, M
look I am calm I'm just wanting to know why you said you pitied me cause I see no reason why you should
@bigbear170: You sounded pretty threatening, but I said that because we were talking about "racism", and you don't seem to have a grasp of what "racism" means. That's it. I'm going to take my leave now, and so should you.
