Talking Re: Does Racism Have Its Place In Society?

Don't be a racist. Racism is a crime, and crime is only for black people.

lol OK, OK

On a serious note though, like one other user mentioned, racism has existed far before Darwin's theory was every created. IMO though it could have initially developed by making people feel relatively superior. "X is the best race, and since that person over there is Y, doesn't X feel very special about now?" That's just one possibility though. There are numerous things it could be attributed to.

Unfortunately though, racism will always exist in society.
