Gee, you are so aggressive in many of your posts. It does get tedious. You do constantly harp on the topic of racism.

I have a surprise for you....everyone is racist....it´s how we deal with it that defines us. It´s probably only recently humanity has begun to realize the humanity of the whole human race. Many ethnicities language for themselves define themselves as "human" and others as something else.

In the USA blacks were not considered 100% human, which was why they were considered enslaveable. 

In China whites were called Bak Gwei, for Romani being a Rom means being human....I guess others are not(?)...for Jews non Jews were Shegetz, I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. 

Most species prefer to group together with their own kind....just look around. However, in looking at a field, you will see many different species on the same field getting along. If plants and animals can do it, can´t humans?

Fortunatly these days we (at least some of us) recognize the humanity of all humans, and some even extend that to other species as we learn more about them. Dolphins, for example, we know now that animals have intelligence and feelings. Hopefully we will learn to respect all the creation and treat it accordingly.

I think you should just take a hike!!

Yes I am calling some of my countrymen as racists when they act with sheer racism.

Can you show me one or two posts where I accused people with racism for a reason and the reason was not a right reason?

Can you show me any posts from yourself where you came up and warned anybody about their racist posts? (ie All Turks know calling a Turk as Agop is as racist  as calling a white person as negro. can you show me once you came out and wrote a few words against them? Almost all moral codes tell you that ´your silence implies your consent´.)

Let me guess : You wont have any answers to my questions..

Take a chill-pill for me.. will you?

Yes, however, we rapidly move on to what ever we are taught. I´ve watched with great sorrow children being molded their parents. If the child does not meet or interact with others in a positive maner, if they are taught to fear and hate those different, if they are taught to bully, most do. 

I was in a park recently where there was a flock of Canadian Geese. There were children chasing and frightening them, while the parents looked on with approval. I suspect those children will not see any problems with bullyng when they are adults.

One day I was in a line where there was a Chinese man in front of me. He was holding a small child, the child being around 1 year old. The child would look at his father´s face, then at the other faces and start sceaming. It appeared he had never seen any other types of humans before, and the sight of the different races frightened him. When he saw an Chinese face, he calmed down, but if he saw a black or white person he was terrified and screamed.

Another time I saw two toddlers, about 16 months old, one with blond hair and blue eyes, the other the color of dark chocoalte with curly black hair and liquid brown eyes. They both circled around each other with wide eyes, and no hostility, amazed at this "different" little person.

I dont want to go on and on and I am well aware of the fact that it is getting quite boring.

However, saying that does not mean I was wrong : You can NOT show any SINGLE post where I told what I told  without a justification. ( can you? )

But I will highly recommend to you that next time when you see a person waving a banana to blacks or calling people negro or calling people agop with the aim of racist insult, you object it too. Because if you dont,  they do it again.

If you feel insulted when adressed as Agop, ask yourself "why".

What do you have against Agops ? Are you a racist, or what?   {#emotions_dlg.alcoholics}

Quite the opposite. Lol

I am just saying that calling a Turk as Agop is as racist as waving a banana to black players.

I am just a guy who are not afraid of writing the word on a sticker and slam it to that person´s forehead.
