Racism is ALIVE in America
Welcome to the 19th Century a step back in time.

The feeling is like taking 2 steps forward and
10 steps backwards......:banghead:

3. Just so you know...
...Racism is alive in THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD!

Canadians are racist, The French, The Scots (though that is valid because Scots are the zenith of Culture), the Japanese, the Angolans, the Senagalese...and the list goes on.

Racism is a world wide problem and it ain't just white and black, but thanks to folks like George Wallace - its always easier to play it with a Southern Accent. ---- Patterson Hood, Drive By Truckers.


Not excusing anything, but it is not like the world was puppies and rainbows amongst the world's people prior to 1776.

We ARE moving forward, it is just hard to see when you are living in it. Another couple of generations and we may well bleed out some of the ignorance, but we as humans will never reach a Benetton type mixture of happiness.
