Poll: Does being racist instantly make you a bad person?

[Akalistos]

Yes, they are a "bad person"

If someone judges a person based on the color of their skin negatively, I can't imagine they are a good person in many other basic aspects.

I can't say I'm not a racist but I would lie to say that I base my judgment on it. See, when a gay stand by me, I ok... but when being touch or i see what i call A FoFolle ( Ubergay man that cross dress or exaggerate his movement like a girl) I got a weird shiver from my coccis to my neck. That shiver is still racism but i don't base my judgment on it. There are degree of racism, like fear. Some can see a spider don't give a though. Some have a shiver(like me). Other Scream and run. And then there the one that fall unconscious.

That said, i made a friend in the Escapist Transgender group. So, Am i bad by definition?

 

[kannibus]

Nah, being racist doesn't make you a bad person.

Being a person is usually enough by itself. Yeah I just implied that most of humanity is made up of bad people, but then again I'm an incurable optimist.

 

[EinTheCorgi]

ehh racism is all pork. the only reason someone would consider another person racist is because there to soft skulled to notice that ist just words and to shut up and go about your day and just call the prick a tosser and move on. so what im saying is its only raciest if the person takes offense.

 

[Mechanix]

Everyone out there is a little racist inside, whether they want to feel that way or not. Back in the day, people expressed it a little more than today. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, as long as you don't let it get in the way of rational thinking.

 

[TheRealCJ]

Short answer: NO, everyone is racist to a point, it's practically built into our DNA. Anybody significantly different to ourselves is a possible threat to the species survival (SCIENCE!)

^ When did they do that brain probe check on the entire populace of the planet?

Yeah, that makes sense.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Stupid? Yes.

Evil? Maybe. Depends on why they're racist.

(Judging by the sheer number of posts I'm that this has already been said)

Some people may have just been raised that way, never knowing any better because their parents were idiots, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're evil/stupid. American History X is a good example of this.

 

[Dan B]

not really thats there opinion i dont judge me personally have been called a nzi many times and to be quite frank i am a bit of a neo nazi

Now as memory serves nazis didn't win the war...does neo-nazi therefore mean "wannabe loser"?

OT: Only in Peter Molyneux's eyes does one flaw make you and good/bad person, if someone is generally good and has a flaw that doesn't make them a bad person it just means they're a human and perhaps not a very good person.

no actually neo-nazi means reformist nazi meaning we want the origional regime without the mass murder
and the nazi's never went to war hitler went to war dragging the rest of the party with him we were around long before that bastard smeared our name

get your facts right first before jumping to conclusions
because come on it deosnt hurt to insult soemone unless its true

Ahh my bad I assumed since National Expansion was part of the Nazi Ideology eventually you would have to go to war, obviously I see now you were just planning to ask nicely and people would give you their countries, and incidentally when a government supports or at least does not punish murder it's liable to spread, and there's the thing it turns out that even before Hitler (who I didn't mention) Nazi's were a bunch of racists(and I wouldn't argue with that if I were you because that's a very charitable description) and they weren't ever going to come into public view and be thought of as a bunch of flower children, also surely Hitler had the right to do as he wanted since one of the ideas of Nazism is the Fuherprinzip, you know where you don't have democracy, you have a strong ruler who leads you with and iron fist. and all this is entirely off topic, since all I said was the Nazi's lost and you should be damn glad they did because if they hadn't do you think that their breeding programs (I assume you know about the Eugenic breeding programs) probably wouldn't have produced you. Oh incidentally I have done a fair bit of research into Nazism and I had got my fact right, the fact was that Nazi-led Germany lost, maybe you'd heard that anyway? I can confirm it but if you don't believe me look up World War II on google, allied forces won, collapse of the German economy, Lots of Nazi leaders trialed for Warcrimes... obviously don't take my word for it.

 

[JanatUrlich]

YES WITH A CAPITAL YES.

 

[Hashime]

That person may be the product of racist parents, or had a traumatizing experience that made them racist. The only "bad" racists are the ones who actively spread and convince others to spread hate. Those who are the product of something else just need to be educated, if they are given the chance to see the error of their ways, they might change their minds.

 

[Riobux]

In a word: Yes.

After all, the person is displaying ignorance and I can't stand ignorance for no real logical reason. Sure I'd probably hang around him still and be friends with him, but I would of lost so much respect for him.

oh i do apologise my degree in world history means nothing in comparison to your almighty power of google please forgive me oh wise man for not researching a group i willingly joined

on a more serious note the name neo-nazi may have been a tad insensitive
we believe in the order and discipline of the origional regime
and yes i would not be here if the breeding program was world wide as my mother is jewish
yes i agree the origional nazi's and these new nazi's (not us) are/were evil and rascist6 to the point of commiting genocide
and we dont want to take over countries or ask them niceley we simply want order if one of our group is elected leader of anywhere peace and order will follow in that country (by force if neccesary) because we would all work together for the greater good

and when did i support or not wish to punish murder they should all be executed no matter what sort of murder whether they were drunk high or it was out of passion they are a smear on socioty and should be cleaned for the greater good

Again what your describing is not a form of nazism. (You failed to respond to the post where I corrected you). I don't know who has been telling you that whatever your viewpoint is is some form of nazism is quite mistaken. Nazism isn't like religion, there aren't different sects. There isn't the whole we see different parts of the same elephant. A fundamental part of nazism is that the white race is superiour to all others. What your describing is Fascism.

oh......sorry never been very good at discerning politics
but the organisation is called a neo-nazi group
and what post did you correct me in.

It was a couple pages ago. And believe me if an organization is billed as a neo-nazi group then they are definitly unaware of what a neo-nazi is OR they are pro-ethnic cleansing.

 

[CAW4]

We're all inherently racist from birth (#5) [http://www.cracked.com/article_18404_6-shockingly-evil-things-babies-are-capable-of.html], the most you can do is suppress it. Saying someone's a bad person because the're racist is like saying they're a bad person for being hungry. As long as they don't chose to act on it or anything, they're fine.

Making up things and publishing them on the internet doesn't make them facts (see Wikipedia). Still waiting for my proof (maybe from someone with a college degree in genetic or behavior related science?).

Please explain where I made things up? Try here [http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6355-babies-prefer-to-gaze-upon-beautiful-faces.html] and here [http://www.inklingmagazine.com/articles/baby-monkey-faces/]. These are both links from that article. Try not simply being an asshole next time, d-bag.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Not necessarily (sp? I've always been dodgy with that word) a bad person, but it does make you a worse person.
