rdhull said: Overall I think it is inherent in man to judge others and discriminate etc...or at least its primal..so those who still do so etc are still using their basic instinct instead of having evolved above that etc
just about what i'd expect from a star-bellied sneetch, such as yourself.  | |

One day (or several days), the blue eyed students were considered 'superior', had preferential seating, tasks always given good marks or comments, if they struggled, they were still trying hard, etc.. vs the brown eyed students who had to sit in the back rows, if they completed their tasks, they did 'ok' (or might even have been queried on whether they cheated), if they struggled it was because they were stupid. THen after a day or so, the teacher switched, and the brown eyes because superior and the blue eyes inferior. What most intrigued me however was how the children reacted. THe children who were deemed 'inferior' either reacted by striking out, or else seemed to just accept that they weren't as smart, and the 'superior' children even when they were on free time at recess continued to act superior and not play with the other children or would put them down. THe film ends on a positive note, that after the experiment ended the class discussed in depth what happened and reverted back to normality but when they tracked the children later in life (I think this took place in the 60s), those kids seemed much more tolerant and hold less prejudiced views than many of their peers, the belief being they had been there and knew what it felt like. So in teaching my kids about prejudice I try to have them understand what it might feel like by saying what if someone didn't like you or said you were stupid because you had brown hair or were too short. It's not a nice feeling to be judged on what you look like, wear, or your hair color, skin color, church you go to (or don't go to), etc. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who do just that. But it is wrong and you should judge people on who they are inside, not what they look like outside. And people who do judge from the outside are being ignorant and end up hurting others and themselves because they never give people a chance to see what they are really like. "Climb in my fur." | |

What brought this on is I watched the Dr. Phil Show, and there was a mixed race couple on (she was white, and he was Mexican). The woman's uncle was on there, and lemme tell ya, this guy was sooo damn ignorant, he was making me sick. He was making comments about how he no longer loved his niece because she married outside of her race. He also denied causing a problem with his racist views. What an asshole!! He was lucky I wasn't sitting in the audience during that show, or I would have been sitting there booing at him and telling him to get off the damn stage and to get a clue!! Racist people really make me want to vomit.
I'm white, but I have friends of different races. I could never look down my nose at someone because their skin color is different than mine. I love black people!! Racist people suck edit [This message was edited Wed Oct 8 14:27:17 PDT 2003 by psychodelicide] I am white too, but I always HAD & DO HAVE friends of different colors.

Through my life, some of my BEST friends have been black. They were awesome. The story U tell in your post is really sad! A person such as that woman's uncle couldnt be MORE ignorant. I guess its "ingrained" in lots of people 2 "keep 2 your own kind" from their very narrow minded & uninformed, uneducated upbringing, that usually stems from a long line of hatred and fear in ones family, and of course our society, which plays the biggest part in the mess. But, seeing a person like the one U talk about above, is definately sad 2 witness ANYWHERE. Its very difficult 2 understand why someone would disown a member of their family because they R with a partner of a different race & 4 ANY reason 4 that matter. I really cant tolerate ppl like that!

bottom line is that there are idiots in every shape, size and color. why just narrow it down to idiots of one race when there are idiots everywhere? forget passing judgement on race, pass judgement on whoever is a proven idiot.
the world will be a more happy place if we can just segregate the idiots from the non-idiots. but i guess idiocy is subjective.  "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum"

There are a lot of wonderful posts here against prejudice - I applaud you all!! As some of you already said, what matters is what's on the inside, in a person's heart, nothing else. Not skin color, not age, not size or shape, not whether they have lots of $$ or don't have much at all, not the car they drive, not their hair style, not whether or not they have a tongue ring, etc. etc. etc.
One thing that has always struck me, since I was little, and some of my white birth family are racially prejudiced, is that it's just plain stupid. If a person hates another person because their skin color is different, will they hate someone else who happens to make more $$ than they do (yes, I learned, probably so), will they hate someone else who is positive and happy most of the time (yes, I learned, probably so), will they hate someone else who doesn't believe in their religion (yes, I learned, probably so), and on and on and on. The list is never ending if you want to go that way in life. It doesn't make any sense. It diminishes the life of the person hating - can't they see that? Loving people and enjoying people and having fun with people and sharing your life with people and making lots of friends is SO MUCH MORE REWARDING - it is SO WONDERFUL TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE than a negative hateful existence. Judging is not for us to do at all to anyone at any time. Only God, the Father, our Creator, is worthy of making any judgements. And GOD LOVES each and every one of us - all the time. We ought not to do any judging whatsoever. ***PEACE, HARMONY, AND FUN*** | |

This whole thread is very interesting. Read all the comments and looked at peoples reactions.
The one thing that I keep thinking of...is the org. One of the great things about this site is we all talk to each other and usually have no idea what skin colour that orger is. Who cares!!! I love that I can talk to someone fron another part of the world who might have a different skin colour, religion and background to me.
I have people here I would call friends and what they look like has not even come up in any conversation. I can't tell you guys how much I love interacting with you. | |
