Moonsus 2,143 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I saw this comment on a blog "racism is unforgivable because racism is a crime and you shouldn't forgive a racist, the same way you shouldn't forgive a murderer" What do you think?

Cho 942 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yes it is forgivable if the person changed their ways and understands what they did was wrong. Racism is bad, but it isn't equal to murdering someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsy 3,305 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If they're willing to acknowledge that they were wrong, educate themselves and move on from it then I could forgive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vocalmonster 3,603 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Unintentional Ignorance is forgiveable but a flat out hatred for another race isn't, especially if they show no regret for their actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥SNS-Shinomiya♥ 420 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Of course it is, and moreso forgivable if someone repents for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well yeah, if it's unintentional and a person shows they've learned that it's wrong and don't do it again. But if it's intentional racism and you don't care that you're being racist, that's a whole another story and I can't forgive that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiriWilliams 1,709 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If a person shows remorse they should be forgiven, but most racists are unrepentant ass holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae7702 12 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Only against Koreans because quite frankly they deserve it for having such a morally repulsive society and they're pretty much all racist and ugly to boot. I know this because I'm on the net all day and read comments from them on NB and its a true representation of them, I don't actually know any Koreans but being a kpop fan I"m allowed to generalize the entire populace. Plus their asian and we all know that racism against asians doesn't exist and is politically correct. Modern day South Koreans are worse than the Nazis, Pol Pot, Hitler and Stalin all put together. Hopefully one day we can genocide these people and put them out of their misery so the rest of the world can live in peace and harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAE ZONE 10,428 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 UMMM it depends. like a racist person could commit a hate crime or KILL someone because of their racism. that's unforgivable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocking blue 7,514 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If it comes from ignorance, yes. Some people are just raised to think in racist ways and they don't know any better. If they are then educated and work hard to change their prejudices then of course they can be forgiven. If the person knows they're racist and is being malicious and arrogant, especially an adult who has been informed of why their racist beliefs are wrong, then no..

cosmicdust 144 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yeah if they have honestly changed I would forgive them. I would be really happy that they realized they were wrong and felt remorse, even if that came late. If they commited a hate crime however I don't think I could..

Timingil 728 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The thing is that racism is often times borne of ignorance, and fear of the unknown, rather than malicious intent. So I feel that as long as someone is willing to learn about those different to him/her and be open minded enough to change his/her views and accept the fact that normality is relative, it's totally okay. In fact, that makes for a good, intelligent person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyoyo 108 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It really depends. Making racist jokes around friends and what not is fine, because the context is understood. Making racist jokes out of malice is obviously not fine. Having racist thoughts, views, and opinions out of ignorance is not exactly fine, but it is tolerable as it can be fixed and such views can be unlearned. Having racist thoughts, views, and opinions even though you're already aware of why holding these views is horrible is unforgivable. There are circumstances where it is forgiveable, and circumstances where it is not. This is coming from a POC who makes racists remarks and jokes 24/7. topkek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
