Really? Can you support your 99% claim with evidence?
Why is it that every poll indicates that the majority Americans do not support the war in Iraq?
When the war began half of Americans didn't want us in there either.
Bush was not voted in by a majority of voters, he won by the electoral college. Do you know how rare that is? This nation was divided sharply down the middle when Bush was elected.
So no, 99% of "white" Americans do not support the military presence in Iraq.
And if a "mexican" kills a white girl??? Mexican is not a race, it's a nationality, and there are people of Native, European and African regional decent living in Mexico.

After the hate comes the justification, 20 000 Sikhs were slaughtered after two Sikh bodyguards killed Indira Gandhi, so "hey, they killed our prime minister, we killed them" - it's not that difficult, is it?

Oh, I'll agree with you here.
But I don't think the problem is the natural human emotion of "hate" as much as it is how we deal with it -- because as long as we are human, we are going to hate. It's very likely that hate has served a useful purpose in our evolution which is why it remains a part of our set of emotional responses. If an aversion to something saved your ass from a deadly encounter with another animal, you went on to produce more offspring.
Forced association is not going to end what is written in genetics. You could try to erase the whole concept of race by a global intermixing -- which incidentally, scientists predict that there will be no "races" in about 1000 years. You don't think people aren't going to find something else to hate each other over?
We should be looking at the solutions that would bring the most peace between people. In some cases that might mean separation -- such as the muslim people having their lands and us staying the fuck out.

that's simple too, poor people = violent crimes, and the poor amongst the blacks are much higher %-age than the poor amongst the whites or Asians. Well, if they weren't that lazy they would've been poor on a first place but that's another story...

Culture is the problem. Unless you are a celebrity you aren't going to be making 4k or more a month, I don't care what your skin color is, if you are babbling in eubonics, rolling with your pants hanging to your ankles, can't read or write, have an entitlement attitude. Lots of "wiggers" out there like this!
