A racey topic... racism

Not going to lie, some of my friends have a twisted sense of humor, and one sent me this one earlier today.  It really got me thinking of how people often judge others just simply on the color of their skin.  I've been in the situation where I lived with a black family for a few months, and when people heard about that, the comments I got where outrageous.  


I also grew up down south, where there is still a large wide of people whom are racist against the black community.  They think of them as these people who thrive in the ghetto, who are trash, who kill, rob, and rape our people.  Yet there is just an equal amount of white, Asians, Latinos, and every other race who do the same- yet they don't have the stereotypes that most colored people do.


Also, I have met people who aren't comfortable around a certain race, will completely take a different way to go some place just to avoid them, and will be beyond rude to them- easily to say they are racist against one group.  I will admit, I am guilty to an extent of this.


Why do you think that people are uncomfortable around a certain race or have such a strong hatred towards a certain group of people?
