“Racist” and “racism” are unpleasant words in any society. ... African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans and Asian Americans live daily with the effects of racism, but European Americans (whites) also suffer from the effects of racism. Racism is any action or attitude, which can be intentional or unintentional that demeans any individual or group based on skin color or race. ...
When I hear the word “racist” or “racism,” I generally think of the on going conflict between many African Americans (blacks), and European Americans (whites). ... If a “black” individual hates me because I am “white”, that is still a sign of racism against me. If “blacks” hate being a target of racism, then why would they want to be racist against others? ...
Racism is a problem in American Society as well as around the world, but we need to keep in mind that although it will probably always exist we can try to live at peace with those around us. If we allow the racism expressed against us to cause us to be racist to another party, we are only adding to the problem instead of trying to correct it.
