People tend to take joy in racism...

And I'm not talking about the Klan either. I find myself doing things like this myself. Discriminating against others has a way of unifying us and is just plain fun. So the next time you are with someone else that has things in common with you lighten the mood by putting down another group! I'd prefer O'bama to win BTW, just so you know.

I guess the world has come to a point where you think that groups of people putting down other groups is new.

Happens everywhere, every day.

It's a sad truth, but racism, sexism, and all the isms have been here for a long time and they'll never disappear.

It depends on what you take joy in about it and what you consider joy. Getting a good laugh out of a racist joke is actually quite a mature defense mechanism for dealing with a large issue like racism.

Racism was a term made up by Governments to turn people against one another, back in the early man days. I heard a black man say that. He also said we aren't race, we are cultures.... and Jimi Hendrix even said we are only families apart..... Machine gun, tearing my body all apart.....OMG its you tube time.

Defence mechanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It just shows how pathetically weak our cultures have become, to be able to laugh at something that is causing so much death and suffering to others.

the point is that is, is that it unifys and brings us apart at the same time. Why we take joy in this is part of the problem.
