Sometimes.....(Racism Thread)

[TIGERJC]

I have less respect for a racist that has been the victim of racism and knows how ugly it can be than I do for someone that doesnt know what it really is or feels like. To me, its a true sign of ignorance to knowingly participate in something that you were yourself a victim of.

I disagree with that, I know a lot of older blacks and whites that have been programmed to think the way they do because of how they grew up and because of their life experiences. My dad grew up in Alabama where he witness a lot of things and to this day he doesn't trust white ppl. Now he is not the person to blame the white race for anything, but he does not trust white people and doesn't associate with white ppl unless at work. I brought over a white girlfriend of mine and after the b.s. he put me and my girlfriend through I decided I would never bring any female or friend around him no matter what their race, just because his behavior when it comes to race upsets me enough to get into a argument with him each time.

My cousin is half white and his white grand parents never wanted me around them when I came to visit my cousin. I am just lucky that my Mom side of the family is level headed and very accepting of all the races, and thats why I get along with everybody and I am not a bigot like my dad.

I think people's early life experiences has a lot to do with their prejudice tendencies and its really no fault of their own and I just hope it doesn't pass to the next generation
