Why do people hate eachother as much as they do? I don't understand the concept of Racism, of Prejudice, of Hate. What solid reason does any one man have to hate another? they have different skin color? Different religion? it sounds to me as though the man who feels that he is so wise as to make these judgements about his fellow man is the most ignorant of all. The man who feels that he is better than everyone is better than nobody. I don't understand racism, the roots embedded so strongly in American culture. From the time of Columbus, already Racism was forming. Those of different cultures were treated as savages. As slaves. The culture which was formed years ago in the Americas was strong and powerful, and if given the chance could easily have rivaled the European superpowers who took it over. Sadly though, human nature makes it impossible for man to learn from past mistakes, ignorance causes war, and crime, and hate, but it has been planted so deep within peoples' heads that they are not even aware that it exists. How many men can truly say that they have never said something that they regretted because it made fun of something that they were not entitled to assume. People are forever making jokes about their own culture, as if it was a specific club "hey I have a big nose and I'm cheap. I MUST be a Jew" these jokes are funny and amusing, until the person of a different faith, or race or culture makes a similar joke, then they are accused of discrimination. but if it is enforced by their peers, is it really a problem? why is it acceptable for one person to make these jokes, but not for another? Is this not anything but another form of hidden racism? hidden discrimination? these jokes should not be in existence at all. what good have they caused anybody? hatred is the root of all evils. so in order for Miss America to win her goal of world peace, she must first abolish hatred around the world, and this would involove killing the population of the wold because hatred is so deep in peoples' minds that they are not even aware of its existence, and therefore will never be fully able to rid themselves of it until the are made aware of its presence. Become aware of yours and rid your mind of the hatred that makes up so much of it.
