Cassius Clay, "The Greatest" boxer of all time, affirmed his belief in the natural inclination of all living creatures to instinctively associate with those who are most familiar by saying, "Blackbirds fly with blackbirds and bluebirds fly with bluebirds. . . ," an observation that makes the point quite succinctly and with no room for dispute.Maybe racism is the wrong word but I do think we are genetically programmed to associate with and be loyal to our own kind.
I would agree that we are born with the genetics to gravitate toward similar people and things we associate the same as us. But hate is unfornately passed down through nuture.
It's most likely both. The us vs. them mentality is ingrained in us, most likely because we want "us" to survive and not "them." There is also a learned element to it that drives people over the edge of rationality.
I completely disagree, I believe racism is most certainly learned and not programmed in our genetics.
Racism is the belief that someone is inferior due to ethnic heritage or skin color.These discussions of racial discord go on endlessly as if all participants are indisputably certain the words, racism and racist, mean the same things to each and every one of them, when in fact few of those who make frequent and boldly confident use of these words are able to clearly and correctly define them. So I would like to ask those who make frequent or occasional use of the words, racist and/or racism, to tell us what they believe those controversial words mean.So your telling me racism isn't learned its biological? That's BS

I beleive racism can also be the belief that certain groups of people are bad, mean, malicious, problematic, oppressive (pick your negative word) due to race.Racism is the belief that someone is inferior due to ethnic heritage or skin color.These discussions of racial discord go on endlessly as if all participants are indisputably certain the words, racism and racist, mean the same things to each and every one of them, when in fact few of those who make frequent and boldly confident use of these words are able to clearly and correctly define them.

I think it might be that when things get tough miniorities start getting hammered by nativist extremists. It's not just the US either, it happens everywhere and has happened throughout history.
But that's not what the stats show....

"In February 2008, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination faulted the US for failing to address racism against its racial minorities--criticism receiving scant news media attention in comparison to the orgy of coverage on comments by Rev. Wright.
Irrespective of Rev. Wright's remarks, it's wrong to put America's long festering race woes solely on the back of Barack.
Instead of Hillary Clinton or John McCain showing self-proclaimed leadership by denouncing the duplicity of using Obama's candidacy as a barometer for racism in America, the pair remained silent, savoring political advantage."

Another example of conservative msm.
The SPLC does not consider crimes against whites to be hate crimes. Their real agenda is to eliminate the white race. This is a group we should believe?

I'm not sure what world people live in who claim there is little racism today, all we would need is an economic disaster and they will come out of the walls. Actually they aren't too far away at any time. Having lived now in a big city and corporate America as long as I have it has lessened but it is still very evident especially among the uneducated. Maybe that is why people online feel it is no more. The piece below makes clear progress is slow coming.
'The Year in Hate Active U.S. Hate Groups Rise to 888 in 2007'
By David Holthouse and Mark Potok
"The latest annual count by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) found that the number of hate groups operating in America rose to 888 last year, up 5% from 844 groups in 2006. That capped an increase of 48% since 2000 a hike from 602 groups attributable to the exploitation by hate groups of the continuing debate about immigration. And it comes on top of some 300 other anti-immigration groups, about half listed by SPLC as "nativist extremist," formed in the last three years.
At the same time, FBI statistics suggested that there was a 35% rise in hate crimes against Latinos between 2003 and 2006. Experts believe that such crimes are typically carried out by people who think they are attacking immigrants."

Please. This list of hate groups is stupid and fraudulent.
There is only a handful of actual hate groups out there and the Democrat Party is the largest.

Well when there is a group that has used race to be those things, it is truth.

We do not all know that. We DO know that the democrat party gave us slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow and racist concentration camps.
