Doesn't work like that dude. The problem isn't the media it's us, people. Getting rid of the media doesn't change the fact that some people are willing to mess with your mind to serve their own desires.

To Fix the problem people just need to learn to be more open minded, understanding, rational, etc...

,but people these days just don't care about things like that. Either something drastic has to happen to wake them up or it will take a while for everyone to open their eyes.

[the26thhour]

Ok,u included all Colours but by not verbally including White ppl in ur stereotypical,who's to blame game,u make this whole film by default only centre upon bigoted White ppl

Phil Caron,the racism Whites xp is that they're automatically assumed to be Racists,by Racists & you're only encouraging that if u don't actually maintain a language of equality,in ur film about Equality

Are there racist White ppl? Hell yes!

But I've met just as many Racists from every Race & Culture,hating People somewhere

@tonymynd Unfortunately we cannot always assume that people are always good, are always trying to do good, and are always trying to love one another. Take the fighting between catholics & protestants in Ireland. Both are commanded by the bible (same bible, btw) to love their enemies. What's more they are commanded to love all fellow believers in christ as themselves. Yet they've fought with each other for centuries like crazy. Again, they understand each other really well.

@tonymynd What you are assuming is that people are trying to love one another. That, sadly is not always the case. So often times in life the people we know the best are the ones that get on our nerves the most. For personal example, the person I hate most was my best friend from 3rd grade to 8th grade, when he decided it was more fun to make fun of me and humiliate me in front of people. Now, despite the fact our folks are friends, he and I still can't stand each other. We understood each other

@pittland44 Brother read what you wrote and think about it. When you wrote - the people we often hate the most are the ones that we understand the best? - When you love someone, don't yo try to understand them the best? If your child misbehave, don't you try to correct him? yet you love your child. "United Pentecostal Church" & "Pentecostal Assemblies of the World" are very similar organizations, both are American, both are Christian, they are similar, yet they find a excuse to hate each other.

@tonymynd Why then are the people we often hate the most are the ones that we understand the best? Case in point, Israelis & Palestinians, they understand each other really well, and they fight like cats & dogs. Palestinians & Guatemalans, don't have a clue about each other, no wars ever between the two.
