Right people should be allowed to hold whatever beliefs they have. It doesn't mean we can't think of them as despicable people though. As for what should be done? Education and integration are our only hope. People are less likely to be racist when they are raised around people of other races. It's really the only solution that makes sense biologically. Humans are wired to have a tribal mindset. We make first time character judgements based looks before we get to know a person, if the person looks like you or your family, you're more likely to trust them.
Hughbertjass:
Nigger is just a word you should not hurt people for using certain words, freedom of speech and all that. If someone insults a black man by calling him a nigger and the black man physically attacks the other person back and the black man was not provoked in any other way then the Black man is at much greater fault than the person who insulted him.
You know I would have to disagree with you on who provoked whom, my guess is that you've never been the brunt of a racial attack. But the fact that so many black people use the word nigger so often makes it partially their own fault for getting called that. You want a word to die you stop using it.
