I really want to stop being a racist I want to change. I myself realize that I am very closed minded I wish to change that. My hate is mostly directed to Jews and fags for some reason I have always idolized hitler. (I am mixed raced by the way) I tried stopping once but that seemed only to ignite it now whenever black people walk nearby me I can't help but think "****** or monkey". All my friends and everybody I know recognize me as a racist asshole with no remorse although my friends sort of accept it since we share common ground. I just would love to know if there is anything I can do that would relieve my psych of all this damn hate. :devil:
educate yourself.. come at everything from a place of love instead of hate. hate takes too much energy and you get nothing in return.
Do you come from/still live in a small town? If you grew up in a closed minded environment, you will become closed minded. If you are living in one, get out! Go to a city, or a place with a a higher population. In cities there are always more multicultural people and lots of yummy ethnic food you can try, maybe then you can appreciate it more. If you don't want to make that drastic a change, learn a little history. History goes a long way into understanding the past and present of certain people and the countries they come from. Let your mind free of hate, for there is no need of any of it. We are all human beings and someday you need to tell yourself to stop worshipping Hitler and start caring for all races of beings. This is the 21st century and multiculturalism is on it's high... so I suggest you start being less closed minded and more open to the present and the future of today's people. FYI: Hitler was a douchebag. Not a good man. Stop idolizing a man who loved to hate and mass murder thousands
Thanks ille give these suggestions a try (excluding the therapist all they want is money) ille post on my thread how I'm progressing as for the question for my idolization for hitler I don't see his actions as horrors bad thing just the achievement of a mad leader he didn't hate ALL Jews he just used them as a political stratigue which I recognize
You seem like your young, so I am wondering what make you start getting these ideas/thoughts, Hitler heart was filled with hate, he killed handicap, blind, deaf, he even killed Germans, yes he was a great speaker, but a evil one. Sometimes I do wonder, was he crazy or the people who supported him. Maybe you should look up these people also Jim jones , Joseph Stalin They all had the same idea as Hitker as what you called them achievements. Yes in their own mind its achivements. But to a outsider who thinks it's a achievement also, then there is something wrong, and yes it is best if you see a therapist .
Pfft. American History X. All that teaches is that even if you change your ways some asshat is going to kill you because THEY don't like you. You don't have to stop being a racist, just keep it as a closet racist because in this day and age no one wants to hear your shit. It's hard to tolerate others when they don't tolerate you. For whatever reason, the western world is always looked upon as the race hating mongers but honestly, what my eyes show me is that white people are the ones making an effort and everyone else ain't making that effort.
Your word choice, as has already been noted, does not make you appear very sincere. You're certainly free to use the words but it would seem to me that someone who is sincerely trying to address what is seen as a deep character flaw might take some care to choose his words as that is a reflection of where he is coming from. A sincere desire to overcome inner hatred and bigotry is something worthy of the highest respect. Pretending to do so in order to whip the hippies into a frenzy is most inadvisable in these here parts... So tell us... where did your racism come from? Is it environmental? Are your friends racists? Get new friends. Is your family racist? Move out. Most people I've seen are influenced by their environment. If you wish to change in a certain way, find and befriend folks who are like what you want to be. Do a LOT of listening and very, VERY little talking... taking great care to pick your words when you do so. Lots of great responses here before mine.
Humans are tribal and there may well be a evolutionary advantage in being racist and xenophobic, otherwise I doubt it would be so widespread in history . Most animals are territorial many including apes, compete for resources with others of their species, this competition is often in family groups which is basically what humans have traditionally done . Races are just extend family groups if you have a group of black or white people they will share more genes with their own race, the idea of life is to push your own or near genes into the future thats why traditionally people have fought for their tribe . Anyway I may not have explained that clearly as its late, but if you wish to understand racism you need to understand it from a perspective of evolutionary advantage .
Hello dude173456, Good advice above from people. If I could do this, I would show to you site of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Babi Yar and Volgograd, what racism and hate did cause in these places. Reading and personal experience are very different, of course.
in my opinion just typing that op should bring a minimum 5 yr ban on having children if not sterilization
Well I am just gonna bottle up my feelings and see where that leads. Thats the vibe Im getting unless any other suggestions are available right now I'm trying to open myself with ideas and experiment with solutions Rome wasn't built in a day you know.
No offense but you sound OCD because you think certain things over and over around black people and stuff. A good therapist (do some research) will help you other don't because they want you back. There's book that are good, Albert Ellis is a very good one to read. Its amazing what logic can do for that...and definitely research about the people you hate, the more you know, the less you can hate them.
