From the very beginning, when blacks were established as slaves, a division was made. That division has changed form but still exists. And always will. It makes it tough for non-racist people to choose their words in order to NOT offend people of color.
I babysit for a white mom and black dad, and I'm constantly thinking about what I want to say before I say it. I don't want to damage a good aquaintence by a slip of the tongue. So far, so good, but that cloud of doubt will always exist, eventhough I had nothing to do with its creation. Blessings to all...it's what inside that counts...

The main problem is prejudging stereo typing people that throw you into a catagory of rich or poor dumb or smart. Allowing themselves to think they are superior and act snobby and rude instead of looking for the good inside of every person.some people are already programmed hostile and defensive walking around with a messed up look on thier face like they just smelled some poop so theyll never learn unless they open thier minds.

The constant outcry of racism?
If someone gets arrested because they are doing something wrong then cry that it was racism, how do you think that makes other people view that person?

Every American thinks that his country should be proud of him and he acts accordingly.
This is not the case with the rest of the world (mostly) and hence the misunderstanding (racism).

Everybody wants to complain about negative stereotypes. The fact is that there are people that fit those stereotypes. There are gangs of black kids terrorizing and destroying their communities. There are generations of black women taught to have babies so they can get a bigger welfare check. There are white folks that are only concerned with where their next bottle of whiskey or bag of meth will come from. There are lazy fat@ss white men who worry more about their next case of beer, bag of pork rinds and football game than they do about their kids homework. Get rid of the garbage that creates the stereotypes and racist attitudes will disappear.

The hypocrisy of it; each race decries racism directed against it, but sees no problem with being racist toward another group, themselves.

People of color who whine and cry that they are not treated equally - baloney! We all suffer certain trials or afflictions. My son was killed in a car accident, but I don't whine & cry about the guy who ran him off the road, etc. Stand up and make the best of each day without blaming someone for your misfortune. Thank you.
