I teach anti-racism and other related courses. This is a fantastic website that promotes harmony. Racism is still present in today's society. The younger generation seems to be the one cleaning up the mess that was left behind. It's better than it was in the past. However, there is still a long way to go. Keep up the great work..

The typical response for racism is that it is a part of our nature, a gene impossible to purge. Through many years of art and literature, man is unable to evolve out of these bestial ideas. Racism is a show of how the perpetrator still remains ignorant and the victim remains victimized. Racism. Stop it.

PASSIVE AGRESSIVE RACISM is alive in Canadian public sector. Especially in the interview stage where there is usually no clear record of how each candidate was assessed.

It is everyone's responsibility to halp combat racism, not just the teachers, or students, or regular folks.

I really don`t see the point. It`s not the colour that matters, it`s the person. I mean, get it through your head, people. I got in a fight because one of my friends was being called a nieger. That was it, I had it. What is wrong with racists?

The buttons handed out several years ago that had a crocus on them and said, "Spring Free From Racism" were very nice and grabbed a lot of attention. I received many comments on the one I wore. I would like to see these again. They were something that could be worn year 'round.

The National Video Competition is a great way to get adolescents involved in changing this world. Young people have the chance to show their creative and intellectual skills, while proving their interest in social justice and human equality. I have not participated in the competition, but I give credit to those who do!

God made us all equal but we are all different. Just because someone is a different colour why should they be made fun of? I mean, my favourite colour is green. Should I not be allowed to be with those whose favourite colour is blue?

Until we stop believing in the concept of different races, racism will continue. We have to tell our youth the truth - that the idea of "race" is a social construct not a scientific one.

I think that people from all over the world shouldn't say these bad words. If you get said one of these bad words stick up for yourself and say "I don't like it when you call me that name, it hurts my feeling's". If they keep doing it, that is when you tell someone like an adult. That is my comment. Thank you.

RACISM is dumb and cruel. We had a kid at our school with black skin. One day people were calling her names. I stepped in and told them to back off. They didn't. So I told the teacher. Later the kids came back and beat me up. When everything was sorted out, the principal gave me a certificate for helping this girl out.

Although I agree in theory with the steps the federal and provincial governments are taking to combat racism, I cannot totally agree.
