I'm currently living in Atlanta,Ga and I just can't take the racial tension between ALL races here (black,white,hispanic,asian and so on) Racism is so FLAGRANT it makes me sick to my stomach. My mother has re-married to an african-american and wherever we go outside of the metropolitan area we get "dirty looks" or "stares" from all people of all races. Is it that strange to see 2 people of different ethnic backgrounds together? I get the same looks when I'm hanging out with friends from different backgrounds,I do my best to ignore it,and at first it was entertaining,now it all just makes me sick to my stomach (the kind of sick that you used to get when you were a child and knew that you were in trouble or just uncomfortable) Is there anywhere in this country that people come together and aren't so segregated including neighborhoods and living situations? I want the city where 2 people of different backgrounds can hold hands and noone looks or thinks twice. Please help.
