RACISM
Mar 6^th, 2007 at 7:28pm

I believe that rascism is encouraged by people that don't take the time out to understand where they are coming from, what their needs are and of course, refuse to change themselves to accept something, or someone, different.

We all have different sub cultures and sub sub cultures even anglo saxons can't stop bickering between themselves. I don't believe we should confuse a culture with religion because a culture will generally have many religions and/or many different ways it practices that religion. Yes, the culture's may have been influenced by a religion but also by many different variations of that religion. It is also possible that the religion may have been influenced by the culture. Keeping in mind that the culture may have been influenced over time by many different religions.

I would like you to ad to this list on the causes that you believe creates rascism

Causes of Rascism:

Gossipers.

We all need someone or something to take our frustrations out on.

Media/Propaganda

Ignorance causes fear. We fear what we don't understand. Lack of knowledge causes ignorance. The solution to the world's social problems is knowledge and communication. The more you talk to people and understand them, the less inclined you are to fear them and attack them by various means. All successful resolutions of seemingly intractible social problems that threatened to destroy societies involved opening up channels of communication.

Having knowledge can also cause ignorance because it may be the wrong knowledge (conditioning).

The right knowledge doesn't mean that it is the true knowledge. For example the Japanese were never taught the truth about world war 2 up until a few years ago.

The more you talk to people and understand them does not mean that you agree with their beliefs. When you understand people it allows you to attack them in more suttle ways or smarter ways like;

Reply #11 - Mar 9^th, 2007 at 9:25am Enviro gave the example of Japanese students not being taught about WWII. You could make a similar argument about Australian students not being taught about historical treatment of the Aborigines. They are taught something else instead, and they know something, but where it counts they are ignorant.

I don't believe that it's necessarily fear and or ignorance of the other party, rather a lack of understanding of self and their own identity. Think about racism or any form of associative discrimination whereby it is not he individual and his actions that are judged, but rather his associations be it ethnic, cultural, football team preference etc and you have the most basic form of self identity through segregation. There is no need to justify one's own position or creed, just as long as it's not 'them'.
