Re: Racism - An illness or a Way of life?

1. no you cannot be born a racist, but you can be born from them

2. Yes if you are born from racists, they can raise you and teach you hate.

3. Well, I don't think its a physical sickness, mental maybe


I feel like when you get to a certain level of maturity, you must make your own decisions about what is right and wrong, this is what i tell my students, who tell me that their parents teach them racist things. I tell them they should never disrespect their parents, but they need to decide for themselves, what is right for them. You can unlearn, racist behaviors, if you can truly accept in your heart that we are are all together in the human race. This is my belief
