Is racism ever justifiable?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t think it would be justifiable (meaning right, or good, or correct) but it can be understandable. If a person grows up in a neighborhood where almost everyone he sees or knows is of one skin color, then he either sees something on the news, or goes to another community, and sees someone of another color doing or saying something bad, and they have not been taught by their parents and their communities to judge each individual person on their merits, rather than on their skin color, you can see how this kind of stuff starts. And top that with other people in their own community and skin color judging the “others” by their skin color, then that bad habit is continued. Top that with having a history of bad race relations in our country, written down in the history books, if someone sees that, but it is not tempered with the positive changes that were made after that, and again, the parents and the communities have not helped this person to see things another way, then that’s how it starts and continues. It doesn’t really matter what color any of the people are, this kind of crap happens in all kinds of communities in which the circumstances I just mentioned are similar.
