21/M/Toledo, Ohio Join Date: Sep 2007 | It all comes down to 3 things folks 1) people don't want to change (it's just too much to ask for) 2) everyone is racist no matter if you say you aren't (I know because I too am racist even though I don't like to admit it) 3) Society keeps bringing it up ( the more we talk about it and the more it's repeated in our history books, televisions, books, etc. teaches us nothing BUT to hate each other) I guess my point here is that everyone including myself has a racist in them, it's not entirely our faults having to deal with the stress of living in such a diverse society and having to put up with the pressures of racism. I am a white man who grew up in a mainly black and hispanic community, I've been jumped multiple times, shot, stabbed you name it, it's been done. Racism has an ugly face that will rear her ugly head everytime there is a struggle between the different factions. I wish things could change but the chances of it happening are like the lotto. The players will change but the game remains the same. | | |

They dont have contact with white people, they dont talk about white people, they dont even watch a tv show that has a white person in it. And im not saying that they do that becuz they are racist, im just saying thats how they do things i guess. And i think when the kids get older, after not being exposed to white ppl hardly at all they tend to think of them differently and favor theyre own race over white ppl, causing them to start thinking all whites are racist, but not really knowing. This could also go the same with a white family too but, it seems black people tend to do things that involve theyre own race most of the time.
You know a lot of times it's Vise versa too. It's the exact same case with whites. | | |
