We humans love conflict don't we? What do you think?

I understand that we as human beings are fervant about fighting for what we believe in and that makes sense, but what we don't get, is trying to understand the next persons view. Many times I don't think we even make the attempt to because we are too concerned about ourselves; selfish to be exact The "me first, you last" attitude. I got flame bombed for attacking racists, by decent white folks I'm certain(not all, but some) and some things were construed as attacking all whites. Wow. I guess utilizing the internet to voice my views is the wrong medium, because without actually seeing how I articulate what I say or seeing my body language when said is a rather huge detriment. I guess I'll just stick to answering dumb @ss questions.
