Okay, I want to say one thing. I was treated like absolute crap by kids at my school. We’re talking 20 girls surrounding me and swinging fists, people spitting on me on a daily basis. Bad stuff. Most of the kids at my school were Hispanic. Am I racist against Hispanics? Well, yes, a little. I won’t lie. I’ve got some racism issues. We all do, whether you want to admit it or not. But I try my hardest to treat everyone with the respect they deserve as human beings.

Now, on to your particular story. Those darn black kids! How dare they pick on you for wearing a symbol that represents states seceding so that they could keep these kids’ ancestors as slaves? Some people are just SO touchy! I mean, it’s just like all those Jewish kids who are so irritated whenever I wear my armband with the swastika on it! After all, the Nazi party wasn’t ALL about killing Jews! And didn’t Hitler actually bring Germany out of a deep recession? Gosh! How dare they take offense when I’m CLEARLY wearing it to remember how Germany rose above their economic problems?

All sarcasm aside, it blows my mind that you say that black people drove you to racism because they picked on you for wearing something that, whether you want to admit it or not, symbolizes the (failed) movement to keep slaves. That’s like pointing a gun at someone, and then when they attack you to disarm you, you sue them for damages. What the hell is wrong with you?

asdflkads;jlkj. I’m so irritated right now, I can’t even… blah.

I’m just going to try to contribute to this in a positive manner. A thoughtful question for you all:

Not long ago, American Indians were literally bred with whites in an effort to dilute the Indian blood and make them more ‘white’. They were also forced to dress and speak and act like whites, and were forbidden from reverting to their culture.

Well, nowadays, culture is so far gone for most people, at least in America, that it’s practically a lost cause, no matter what your race. It’s obviously a shame that people tried to cut down on the Indian population by breeding them with white people so that their offspring would be steadily whiter.

So while I’m definitely not opposed to interracial marriage in the slightest, or same-sex marriage for that matter, there is something interesting that’s happening, that really is a shame and a blessing all at once. Races are beginning to meld together and disappear entirely. On the one hand, eventually everyone will be the same race, and racism SHOULD be gone, which we all know it won’t be. On the other hand, it’s always a shame to see something like that disappear, just like it’s a shame to see traditional cultures disappearing.

Looking at it this way, is there some part of you that does wish that there could be some way to preserve each race, without the ’supremacy’ motivation behind it, and while still allowing everyone to marry whomever they loved? Or is that racist as well? Just a thought.

*facepalm*

“saying they’ve never been looked down upon by some type of colored person”
because white people never look down on others?

“but maybe the colored pushed him to be that way.”
this is wrong on so many levels and i don’t even know where to BEGIN.
judging a group based on the acts of a few individuals within that group is absolutely ridiculous and pathetic.
