Kinda like when in high school, most of the black kids sat at the same lunch table, that didn't make them racist, they just had more in common, culturally and otherwise. Today, we throw out the race card way too often. Racism is when you believe that your own race is naturally superior to another, not if you say the "N" word, or when an old lady clutches her purse tighter when a black guy passes. Nowadays anytime anyone says anything a particular race finds offensive, they're labeled as racists, apparently toddlers, now too can be racists. There is also a huge double standard at what is considered racist. For example, the magazine, Truckin', which is mostly read by whites, had an art section where people drew and sent in pictures to be published. What if a large number of those pictures were labeled as "white pride" or "white power." It would be on the news, Digg's front page etc. But if you open up the art section of a copy of LowRider magazine, mostly read by hispanics, you will see picture after picture with "brown pride" and "brown power" everywhere, and no one bats an eye. Inequality does still exist for minorities in America, but 9 out of 10 things that I hear about being racist, are nothing more than offensive. Racism as a popular mindset is dead, where I live, which is South Carolina, by the way. I was born and raised here and I don't know a single person who simply "hates N***ers," despite what most Diggers think about the south. A lot of people don't like the rap culture, but that happens everywhere, and no more racist than when a black guy thinks the country music scene sucks. suzuki hayabusa xxx AM
