race-tastic

we all grow up with the sense of i am white you are black he is brown and so on. but the color of the persons skin does not sum up that person in any way shape or form. it is their upbringing and education. and when we assume that all African Americans steal or all Mexicans are lazy we are just using old stereotypes to make ourselves better.
now i do not mean that we should not be suspicious of a guy (black, white, or Mexican) comes up to you hiding something and following you. its just the situation. if you are approached by a person minding their own business there seems to be no reason to fear. but if they are acting strange then yes we should fear.

i too do sometimes walk the other way when a person wearing baggy clothing and being loud and annoying, and yes we all do the same thing. you cannot deny it..... I'm not racist i just admit my prejudice.
