Racism (read with caution)
Alright, before reading on I did not write this article to offend anyone or to hurt anyones feelings. I am simply posting this thread to express my views and hear others.
The Topic: Racism
This was inspired by reading the Rush L. thread I thought about racism. I would first like to give you all a little background information on me. I am a middle to higher class white male I have 12 brothers and sister 5 of which are adopted from other countries (4 from russia, 1 from china) I love them all. Sure they may have different blood in them but they are my family I would give my life for any of them. The reason for this is because I feel all men are equal I have always treated any person reguardless of color, height, shape of eyes, muscle build or whatever other thing that makes us individuals.
With that being said I get very upset when african americans feel they are being repressed. I am just as much as an immagrant as them. My great-grandparents came over on a big boat. Neither side was given handouts they had to work their fingers to the bones my grandpa was 13 when he was kicked out of his house and told to make it on his own. I know some 'colored' people feel as though the "white man" is trying to hold them down but just look at all the colored people that have succeded MJ, George Foreman, Gary Coleman (woops..haha) But you get my point. I am not saying that their is now racism but people need to 'let it go' why are we so politically correct why aren't we allowed stating something...All men are equal so when are we going to talk like it. If a colored announcer said the white guy can't jump no-one would say anything but you mention something about color and **** flies.
Just wanted to get that out.
