1.) Starts unnecessary wars/battles.
2.) Divides communities.
3.) Media becomes biased.
4.) Something that is okay to do/say is "okay" for one group, not the other causing MORE division between people.
5.) Teaches the youth to judge based on appearance.
6.) Stereotyping of the worst kind comes into play.
7.) Effects state/government (voting becomes based on appearance)
8.) Unnecessary deaths, rapes & robberies.
9.) Impacts the world as a whole with trade, commerce and supply and demand value.
10.) Religion (need I say more) *Most religions are divided by race/appearance/action*
This goes for ALL racism, not just the kind geared toward blacks. Remember after 9/11? Every Arab in the US was looked down on. Blacks single out whites and Puerto Ricans every day and get away with it without it being called racism when it actually is. Asians, Japanese, Chinese... All deemed with stereotypes of religion, sight visibility and job status. Mexicans are deemed as "job stealers" and "poor". I can go on and on and let not forget, Race on Race racism, because it happens every single day. I witnessed it quite a few times. Half black half anything else get singled out by large numbers of blacks. This is a huge problem rarely discussed in society. White women are looked down on for dating black men by white men... Black men are looked down on for dating white women by black women. It is all sick. I joke around about it but it honestly sickens me when people judge each other based on the color of their skin or where their heritage is. I am a firm believer that no one is in the right to judge anyone else as we are all evil in one way or another. Whether in action, thought or whatever. No one is perfect
