Racism has been around here forever,,and I can't seem to get away from
it,,I HATE IT,,,
and im a WHITE guy!!!!
I have been fighting it in my truck for 29 years and IT still survives
because of MAINLY,,ingrown hate,,from their up-bringing
And the whole thought of it being in our life STILL, is almost
unbelieving, but yet,,still here and around all of us daily,,,
Life is to damm short to see others as anything but ANOTHER HUMAN
BEING!!!!!!!!:heart: flowerforyou :wink: smokin

what makes our species so special we are soo different and yet we are
all the same. naturalistically and biologically, obviously this person
didnt make it past high school such shallow thinking maybe he should try
taking a sociology class lol :) keep your spirits up your beautiful no

No doubt about it. He claims to have a Masters but I think he is not
just ignorant but uneducated as well!

Actually, I'd say that racism and bigotry know no social, ethnic,
economic, or educational boundries. When I was in high school, having a
conversation with someone I respected very much (and who had a Masters
Degree, history I think, but I digress) made statements regarding
peoples sexual orientation and color that I simply couldn't believe that
this was the same person I thought I knew pretty well.

Also, men of all colors are this way, not just white guys. I ran into
that on a lot of occasions with my ex (she was hispanic) and I at
restaurants and clubs. You hear "What's a fine lady like you doin' with
a cracker like him?" a few times and you start thinking such nice
things. Like I said, it's universal.

Sorry, I meant to say "...you start to think not so nice things."
