xDD I'm no where near as brilliant as you, and I'm lucky to have found you as well. You're smart, handsome, opinionated, sensitive, loving and are willing to disagree with me if its something you have your own veiw about, I absolutely love having debates with guys, even though most give up in less then a few minutes. It would be boring if you did, its one of the things I love most about you. Complete chance we would find eachother over the net in the same guild, neh?
Anyway, to add to what you were saying: We were all black at one point, considering the human race began in Africa, so really, we're being racist against ourselves. You're right, we're no different from the Asians, or the Islams when it really comes down to it. Sure there's appearance, religion and personality, but other than that, we're all pretty much the same inside. We all have a heart, a spleen, a pancreas...well soem of us do. I know a girl who was born without a pancreas...severe diabetes...But I digress. Hate is unavoidable however. We can't all be Adam Smith's theory of a market Ecomony "The hand of righteousness will guide the producers from creating harmful products" What is not evil for some is evil for others, like some of those that believe some religions to be a sort of cult.
The world we live in is insane, but theres little to nothing we can do about it. Reality is what you make of it, and some people think of it in ways that shouldn't which is probably what Hitler thought. Odd considering he was 1/16th jew.

Yes, hate and rasism is a sad thing. Most of the time, it's not even the kid's fault to why they are rasict, but they are raised that way in a hate filled enviorment. Parent's implant their ideas into their child's mind at an early age, therefore, thinking that their parents are special (most likely we looked up to our parents at a young age, anyways) , they think their parents are right. They grow up with predjeduces, and then in turn, their children grow with the same prejuduces and the line keeps going on and on until someone says 'Hey, that's screwed up.' Though that normally takes generations of hate to come up with that conclusion. And then people hate simply because of one different idea or because of a different religion. 'I wear black, therefore I MUST be goth' ~ wise quote from somewhere, chainletter I think. People assume that because a person acts, looks, or thinks a certain way, they MUST be good/evil/whatever. I have had people hate me because I wore black, therefore, they took me for a goth. Did they get to know me? No, they saw me wearing black, so I must have been a goth, so I must be a creep and cut myself, something they looked down upon so they automaticly hated me. I laugh at people like that. And for Hitler, he was just screwed up to kill that many people and a hypocrite, since he was a Jew. If you think about it, many of us are all different things and that's the main issue with discrimination. No one bother's to look at their family roots any more, me included. For all I know, I could be Australian. Anyway, pardon my rants, I talk waaay too much ^^;

Eventually with all the thoughts and information piling up in my brain from reading massive amounts of Wikipedia and other articles, I've expanded each single thought process in my mind.
I can relate to that after leaving school Ive started reading lots of wikipedia, I look through forums and I am currently the smartest and most literate of all my friends. Or so they claim. I dont like to buy into that.
I thoroughly enjoyed your essay it displays brilliant ideas. I completely agree with your analysis of hate.
Yes, hate and rasism is a sad thing. Most of the time, it's not even the kid's fault to why they are rasict, but they are raised that way in a hate filled enviorment. Parent's implant their ideas into their child's mind at an early age, therefore, thinking that their parents are special (most likely we looked up to our parents at a young age, anyways) , they think their parents are right.
I agree with that. An example (not a good one but one nontheless) is in Avatar the fire nation does the same thing. I believe the nazis did as well. they planted the ideas in the childs head that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
Another growing thing is hate against the homosexual. God Hates Fags is an organization who protest the homosexual I believe they have even performed hate crimes against them as well. People like that make me sick. I consider myself lucky to be growing up in an age where homosexuality, and other things are excepted widely because at a time when my parents were growing gay people were considered "wrong"
stereotypes also lead to hate I believe stereotypes are bad because of this.
