The Secret Haters

Has it ever ocurred to anyone that people may simply prefer to be with those who have something in common, be it sport, hobby, cultural expressions suchh as type of music and dance, race, ethnicity, gender, political ideology, religious faith, etc, etc, etc, and this has nothing to do with hating or being prejudicd against others who may not share the same common agendas? If I am a classical music fanatic, I tend to listen to classival music, but it doesn't mran that I hate hip-hop, or viceversa. Please stop putting negative attitudes in the media where in reality there are none. Any activity or state of being is a positive for those who are engaged in it, and those who are not, cannot be presupposed to hate others who do not share their engagements.

talk about prejudce....the person you choose to represent as a prejudiced individual is a blonde haired woman.Why don't u feature a picture of Colin Ferguson, the guy who picked out white people to shoot on the Long Island Railray? White people are in the minority in the world. You should be promoting the rights of white people who are the minority world wide.

if you look at this article carefully, you will realize he didn't say anything

I would hate to live in a world where my thoughts have more say than my actions. Being robed of my self and the freedom that makes me, me. There many reasons not to like a person. To not like anything. I judge people by there actions ,attudes, lazyness. Most of all common respect! If I didn't than I am a empty shell. There are the values that I hold true. Do I not stand true to them. Its erelivant to me but I fear the seakers of power will be drawn toward it. Would be a sad day!

Thats funny that I found this article on Yahoo because I swear I tell my wife everyday that every time I look up Yahoo political articals I see Barack Obama frowning and Hillary Clinton smiling.Its pretty easy to see who Yahoo is supporting.

This is some sort of revelation? Everyone makes generalizations. If we didn't, we wouldn't be very intelligent or very human. It's hard wired into our psyche, and to slap a layer of denial over it because of the need to be a submissive, politically correct little cog in the machine of an oligarchic, corporate controlled society is simply pathetic..

I'm always surprised at the amount of time and money science spends to point out what any living breathing human being already knows. None of us are perfect, and I personally believe it is perfectly normal, maybe even a sign of a health mind or soul to NOT LIKE everyone. As much as we may try, we all are different to a certain degree and we tend to feel uncomfortable around what is different to us (in this case, other people and their cultures or habit in daily living, be they cultural or not. We all come from different background and different personal experiences. This is not the garden of eden where everything is perfect and everyone is the same. This is life, full of pain suffering and the unfairness we pour on each other. And we all know that, and even though in the long run it may not be our intention to ruin each other, we often end up doing it. But that's just the way we are. It doesn't make us good or bad, it makes us human, mortal an un-almighty. No one here is supposed to be God, we can only try, but we are the makers of our own pain, however we are also the healers of such too. But perfection is not part of a human being. Until the Lord make it different, perfection for us actually lies in imperfection. As for Bais and our new "Politcally Correct World" (or at least "America"), to me this is a big mistake. If we don't like each other, lets get it out in the open and stop "acting" like we do when we don't. There's nothing wrong with that, show me someone who truly loves everybody unprejudiced and I'll show you Jesus Christ, not a sinner who needs saving. I believe the moment we let it out it's open and on the table and THEN we can actually improve without hipocrisy. I don't expect you to like me or agree with me, because you don't HAVE too, we may be different, and in some cases VERY different, but the mistake lies in pretending we are not or my FORCING you to like me. We try humans, we try hard, I believe in us, doesn't mean where perfect or are gonna stop having wars, but God know, with all the crazy stuff we do to each other...we still around.

Only selective breeding will do away the perception of bias and prejudice. The concept that you can legislate to overcome a persons DNA never works. Better to recognize that people don't have to like each other for whatever reason. It's the acting on that dislike that we should be concerned about. Not the thought.

I haven't taken this test but wonder if there were any alternatives to good/bad. My first thoughts when I read the words black/white were "how can colors be anything but neutral?" It would be like hot/cold, day/night. These things are neither good nor bad--they are what they are. I would not be able to categorize them because, for me, they don't fit into the categories given.

Prejudice in my experience is part of who we are as human beings, it can take many form and is not always as clear as black and white. It can be directed against fat people, thin people, short people, uggly people, spotty people, etc. etc. etc. I think we always try and find the weakness or faults in others to boost our own position in life. Equally we are all the victims of prejudice in one form or another, somebody out there is going to dislike you, maybe because: you are poor, you are rich, you are not from the right class, you did not have the proper background, whatever we are all vistims and we must learn to shrug this off and just get on with our lives instead of wallowing in self pity. This in no way diminishes the wrong of mass prejudice aimed against the black communities of America or any other ethnic hate campaign but as individuals we must learn that prejudice is part of life and at some stage it will touch all of us.

white men? yeah, but you are a minority with a VOICE heard throughout the society! go to asia! everyone worships white men there.

Any societies at any time has the so-called unconscious attitudes or behavior to different sorts of people. If we put too much attention to such things, it would be like a little fussy. Treating everything in an equal manner is so hard. Taking a little bit of time to consider yourself upon the biases you ever had, you would find that it is an ubiquitous phenomenon.

It's definitely not okay to be racist, yet our culture has EMBRACED misogynists like Howard Stern. He's incredibly popular. And it's not okay to make fun of people of color, but women are an okay target. Especially white women. It's ok to attack white women. I think race isn't nearly the issue some people try to make it out to be. If America elects Obama, will that be evidence enough racism is dead? But no one mentions that Hillary might not be elected because she is a woman.

that was wrong to say because of skin color because of their behavior because whites can be twice as worse than blacks. ok, u sound racist if u ask me. its because they feel how can they trust a black man after all the things society has become of us... we too have bias with others yes, but who is to judge who has the most bias, ppl raised to hate blacks, or blacks raised to love all. . .Think About It?
