What does it take for someone to move from a position of hate and racism to a position of tolerance and respect?


To start with, for someone to turn into or become a racist person would probably take some persuasion. Some people become racist because their family and friends from a young age teach them that it is right. People don't understand if you love your child you would not let them go out in to the world and have another thing to deal with. Some people become racist because something happened to them by someone of a different race, like a fight or stealing.  Some people listen to the media and take television the attitudes they see on an radio and think that all of a particular race is a certain way, that is stereotyping to its fullest. So for someone to start having a different view on being racist it must take a lot. Like Derek, he accompanied the presence of an African American for about 6 months when he was in prison. That certainly gave him a different view on them. So for someone to change their opinion on a specific race, it must take a lot of getting to know the race showing that they are actually not bad after all. So, it will totally change the persons point of view; it will probably also change the families  point of view on the race that they are against. It basically take a lot for the person to change, because change is a big thing, but sometimes change can be good.

Why does racism still exist?
