Racism is taught .... you are not born with it, you can not buy it. It is a narrow minds of our forefathers ..... their is nothing you can do about it. All this color, life style, and culture stuff I get but at the end of the day if you see a three woman on the street talking and you preceive themas three women talking on the street then you are probably not a racest and congradulations. If you precieve them as one white slut, one sister and one rice eater than it would be safe to assume you are racist.
You are not to blame ! this was simply what you were taught....
Another spin is if everyone was blind their would be no such thing as racism.
This is where nero makes his point IMO who are we .... simply products of our enviroment .....
How many skier's live in Florida and how many surfers live in alaska ...
we live where we live and are brought up beleiving in a set of pricipals ....
It takes a strong mind to change who you are and slowly I think we are getting there
What I can't stand is people on the fence .....
Allicia Keys is the worst .... when she is on a show that is tageted at middleclass America she speaks with very good english and prenusiation .... when she is on a BET show you would thingk she still lives in Harlem .....
My outlook is simple .... be who you are and always try to stay positive
I always look at the glass as half full and try to understand others the best I can
Tollerance is in short supply in this country and I hope that changes in the coming generations ....
Just remeber your kids do what you do ultimantly, and what you say means nothing in the long term .... this is something to keep in your mind for all the new fathers out there
we can beat this but it starts with you
Live and let live
