does it matter? A racial question.

Black or white, so what ?

Are you discussing race, fashion, or the color to paint the rear parlor? You might wish to expand a bit on your question.

I think it can if you are just doing it to piss daddy off.

Shouldn't this not be in the religion and philosophy area of the forum. Maybe in General discussion or Misc.

annier2004, If you have a point, please make your point known. Once we can establish the gist of your thread, we can change the title appropriately. Since you are new I will allow this. But it must be changed as it can be considered bending the rules

Annier, I do not know what age you are! But we seriously discuss things. Just see your thread on HATE. Your above post looks childish and not child like!:(

[annier2004]

I am sorry but as mentioned above I am new to this

I will change it , but could do with some guidance on how to do so. On reflection I suppose its actually a continuation of my previous thread.What I am trying to ask is why cant we learn to live and accept each others differences, ie,black, white,gay, straight,strong, weak, rich, poor.
I apologise again,I WILL get the hang of this!

We can and we are.

But don't forget the profit potentials of division. An unspoken agenda to create conflct that pours money into the arms industry, the media, the governments. One-to-one we notice that the other guy bleeds red, too, just like us.

That is better. Experiece is the best guidance!

PatrickHenry has answered your query partly. As a matter of fact societal division has been developed over thousands and thousands of years by genal differences. Different nature, as a result produced different tempraments and quality personalities. Persons developed various casts, creed, races, colours, religions and what not. Diffrence developed in intelligence, tempraments. Thus we have rich, poor, lazy, hard working etc. Interests in different jobs and works came up. Concluding system of up/down, high/low, rich/poor weak/strong etc. existed permanently.

I feel, the existing divisions have more advantages than disadvantages. Yes, it is always good to try to reduce disadvantages to the maximum. Mandatory rules and regulations are fixed and continually being modified from time to time to do so. Perfection is not possible due basic selfish nature of human individual, but scope of improvement would always remain there!!:)

I apologise again, I WILL get the hang of this!

Please do not mind! I felt better to catch you young as member may not be by age!!!

dont worry about it. The only thing is you should have been more descriptive in your first post and not post the thread title as misleading.

Now as for your question, Most civilized people -respectful people are not racists and see humans as equal. But racism breeds racism -even if in some people it is underlying racism. This is dangerous and even though we have come a long way since slavery (in America) and it took us forever to get to the point of race riots in the 1960's, we still have a long way to go, and it may not ever get to a point where we can all live peacefully together.

One example being, in Australia, there is a long history of whites' treatment towards aboriginal people. This has for the most part ended. But you still have Aboriginal people who are mad at whites and they sometimes take it out on unsuspecting whites -who may not have a shred of racism in their bodies. But this action may stir up some racist feelings in them. And Vice versa. You may get some yobbos poking fun at either aborigal people or now Lebanese and their actions cause an unfavorable view of ALL white people.
