First of all- Vicious, you are no more than an ARROGANT PRICK. You ask people not to prejudge you and then you announce like your on some fucking podium that you live in "the real world" and everybody else is off in some fantasy land. Would you like a fucking cookie? Is that what you want? A fucking medal for putting up with something that happens all over the world and isn't just some special case for you to whine about?

Second of all for people who are willing to listen-
Different ethnic backgrounds have not gotten along and ended up in messy political situations with eachother throughout history and all over the world. It is not a black and white thing. And like Watchz said, why were asians, hispanics, middle-easterners, etc. not mentioned?

Rascism is not acknowledging this common problem and not doing anything constructive about it like realizing we need to grow as a human race. We are (albeit slowly) beginning to use more of our brains and becoming intelligent and I also believe more in touch with our souls...what gives us meaning. We also need to slowly lose or modify certain survival mechanisms that no longer apply that cause us to act aggressively. It's natural for the groups of people who atleast FEEL the most threatened in any case to be more hesitant to let go of this behavior.

Do you think we don't have to suck it up, too? Hold back from reacting to rascist comments for our own safety as well? I am white as well as hispanic and its hard to see what happens to my family on both sides and perhaps I am lucky...to have always looked at it from a perspective where it would be natural for me to want no rascism against anybody either way. I will tell you all one thing...it's a beautiful thing to see my relatives embrace eachother.

My take on race relations is if you can't offer a solution and just bitch and complain...well my point is there is a big difference between Watchz more helpful post than Vicious's which lacked any kind of constructive comment about his experiences.
