Thread Name: BS: Racism: Why?
Subject: RE: BS: Racism: Why?
In barely a couple or 3 hundred years we humans have moved from a world where only a few people had much interaction with those of other cultures and ethnic groups, to a situation where people are moving about the world 'almost' at will, bringing language & cultural differences...and often, sudden changes in demographic patterns.
In ***ALL*** societies there are those who cannot adapt...for various reasons. Sometimes they have good reason...sometimes not. Groups like the BNP in the UK and the KKK,,etc., in the US, simply take a "we won't TRY to adapt & get along" attitude.
Hate & fear are easy...that's how we dealt with 'others' for many thousands of years.
I'm afraid that, with expanding world population and international disputes being pursued with more & more complex weapons, it's gonna get worse....
I see no one from the UN has contacted me for my suggestions....
