I am just answering this question in regards to Chery Baby comment.....As a Black woman I commend you for being able to set what happen in the past aside and realize who you are as an adult. I truly believe that a lot of Caucasians are brain washed by their parents belief and that is all they know. I mean why else would you grow to hate a certain race. I always say learning starts at home before it ever starts in school.

It hurts my heart to know that your family went through that even if they were racist. No human being should have to endure the pain of being violated. I just wanted to say that I am truly happy you found it in your heart to look beyond what your parents instilled in you and see what else was out in the world. If you had not, you would have missed a huge part of life.

I think the world needs to due without the racism and who is better because at the end of the day God will judge us as a person and not a race.

May God bless you and your family.

Whites aren't the only ones who look at just skin color.

Ginger, let me tell you a true story...
I am a 40 yr old white woman. I was born the youngest of 12 kids, in Michigan. My parents (who are racist) packed up the whole family & moved to North Dade, Miami, Fl. Two blocks from Carol City, a predominately black area, why? no one knows. I was taught racism, but never felt it instinctively. I was beat up, spit on, degraded & it was assumed (by the black people I went to school with) that I was a racist... before I even knew what the word meant. Then I went to 5th grade in an all black school because of mandatory bussing. I actually blossomed at Ralph E. Bunche school. I learned that people should be honored, not torn down. They had a wing for mentally disabled children of all sorts & colors. These kids made me realize that I had a great life, with oppourtunities that some never got. Even still...
I used marijuana from the time I was 10 til almost 30 to cope with all the bad things that happened in my life & to me & my family over the years. My Dad left when I was 10, I was kidnapped & raped by a black man when I was 14, My mother was raped by a black man at one of her 3 jobs, 2 of my older sisters were raped by black men when they were at college & then the same guy who raped me, raped my brother. My brother ended up stabbing a black student, he was arguing with, over a girl, & was sent to prison. I moved to Tallahassee with an older sister & buried my past in distance. I lived my life in a struggle with my upbringing. In a confrontation with any white person the first word to come to mind was always, A--HOLE, but if the person was black it was the n-word. NOT because all I could see was skin color, but because it was trained into me. Even after I started dealing with my parents mistakes, which manifested in me as anger, distrust & hatred, I was still highly likely to use the n-word. Even though I knew it was a word that should never be thought of, much less spoken, it was my first impulse. Now, however I have overcome my childhood, my upbringing. My family is as diverse as one's could be... I have Columbian, Black & Jamaican relatives. The lesson I learned, for myself, is that no matter what your parents teach you, no matter what your childhood is like, once you're an adult, you think for yourself. YOU CHOOSE. I choose to give everyone a chance no matter what color, race or creed. Hopefully they'll give me a chance too.
The unbelievable part about this story are the names in my family.... Father, Percy Leroy...
Mother, Stella Maxine...
siblings...
1. Rita Maxine 7. Alvin William
2. Evelyn Mary 8. John Fitzgerald
3. Percy Junior 9. Angela Margaret
4. Elaine Marie 10. Patrick Daniel
5. Arlene Martha 11. Elizabeth Ann
6. Janet Michelle 12. Cheryl Lyn
I just wanted you to know that some white people are throwing off years of brainwashing & REALIZING that people are people no matter what color their skin is!!!

The same reason members of other races typically are cruel, ignorance.

It is not just White people. Cruelty comes in all shades. However, it is sad to see that people allow a color difference to shape their ideas of people.

Alot of the are intimated. They have been in power and taken over alot of countries. Alot of them are ignorant and they think they can get by with anything. But it's not just white people, it's other people too. Black people can be just as cruel. So can asian people.
