As humans, we naturally class ourselves. We always want to be the best, and an easy way for most is to use skin colour.

Its probably because they feel like they are more powerful than the other race/ethnicity, but in reality humans are basically the same

Sometimes people just hate someone and end up hating everyone that has the same race. Also, your family can manipulate you, if they don't like a certain race and pass that to their children they end up hating ittoo (unless they actually think for themsvs)

Because history, but in fact, after Martin Luther King's death, racism has kinda decreased over the years, and now it's back again...

I don't think racism should even exist anymore honestly.
The days of institutionalized racial separation and mass genocide of an entire race is over, except for those few exceptions in war-torn countries. But in America, Austrailia and everywhere else, there's no continent-wide slavery or anything of the same kind.
Sure - our grandparents and relatives suffered through it, but what good is trying to 'avenge' them by inflicting racism upon the opposite group? I find that in a lot of places, this is what's happening.
All races have suffered, and have managed to make peace and move on, hence we're here today.

So often I hear people talk about how oppressed they are and how X group would not let them speak out and things.... but they're talking freely on a platform made by that group. If there was some kind of worldwide mass genocide and racism going on, they wouldn't have the chance to.
People just need to make peace and accept what's happened in the past. 99.999% of the people on Earth who've had relatives who were discriminated against or were those discriminating are long gone. What's the point of bringing back what you're trying to 'get rid of'? Just to prove some point for someone 6ft underground?
I honestly don't understand it worldwide, where I could easily understand it happening in wartorn countries. Why? I have no idea.

Because people give racism a meaning. The word nigger is racist if you care about it. Otherwise its just another word.

People by nature like to prey on the weak and group together so they don't fall victim of something. Only the strong individuals stand out and make the change, if you are racist just because others around you are then you're weak and are a follower, not a leader.

Because no one is equal and everyone hates everyone like it should be.

Someone talked about the word 'nigger' and how it's only racist because we make it.
That's true, but using with a 'Hard R' is the same way people used it, as a sign of hatred, and it's exactly that.
However, people of color often talk to each other using the said word, but it's in a different context. Avoiding that word is great, but if you're going to use it without a hard R, like everyone else, then who cares what color your skin is?
Something Scotland needs to learn. lmao some guy is getting jailed for a fucking joke, making fun of Nazis because it's 'anti-semitic'. Yeah, to Nazis it is because it's making fun of them.

for historical reasons friend. the whites unfortunately dominated the technology and it was the very tribal leaders of Africa who sold their men as currency to whites. everything we see today are remnants of that
