Is it better ? Compared to the way it used to be?



Or has it just taken a different form or shape


And is still the same?


Diclaimer we all have shared some form of racism......

doesn't necissarily, mean the color of your skin!!!!!!!!!!

It's alive...Just hidden...that's a fact!!!!!!!!!! Watch when something
happens that involves another race and you will see it come
out!!!!!!!!!!

I have been seeing it here everyday lately because of land occupations
over land claims......Ignorance breeds ignorance and nobody seems to
want to take the time to learn and get past the stereo-types!!!!!!!!!!!

people it's hard to convince them that what they are doing hurts people
emotionally... but then again they are ignorantohwell huh frown

But you can "make" people learn tolerance and acceptance, though. You
can do it by educating people, and by raising your children to be
"tolerant" and accepting of others. We shouldn't be tolerant and
accepting of bad behavior from ANY individual, of course, but we should
never judge a person or hate a person based solely on the color of their
skin, etc.

i raised my children to know this
there are good and bad people
always look for something good first
in all people if you cant find the good
look away
good or bad is not a color,race or label
its just a simple choise everyone has the right
to make
