Your words could not hold ,ore truth but unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. There will always be ignorance and strife. It is a part of balance. My children are bi-racial...American-Mexicans...I so wish that things were different but they are not. I teach my children to respect themselves regardless of the opinions of others. I explain to them why they should pray for people like that and that they obiously are lacking self-esteem and most likely were taught to be ignorant from their parents...NKA  |

I realize racism will always be with us but if I could change one persons outlook it's worth it.  |

I agree with you author and it starts with each and every individual. Here included! We can't just say I don't do it but or I know but. To say that only serves racism to even higher heights.  |

The best means of teaching are through actions not words. Taking a verbal stance against racism is somewhat hypocritical, more so in the mind of a racist, only feeding their fire of hate. Think about it....NKA |

I completely agree with you. It's so hard to convince people that it's wrong, it gets increadibly frustrating sometimes. I know a lot of racist people and I don't know how to deal with them sometimes, so it let things go by. I just avoid it, although I know it's wrong. Sometimes it feels like there's really nothing at all I can do and that what I say to them won't matter anyway. Our society is unconciously breeding racism by collage scholarships for a specific color, it makes it more difficult to forget about with people shoving it in everyone's face every single day. Hum...I guess that's all I've got to say....  |

Though sometimes I may not show that their words hurt. Deep down, they really do. Thank you for sharing these strong words. God Bless, Love; Maria aka: -Lady Mexico- |

I don't know if people will ever change their views, especially if they're brought up to believe that one race is superior over another. I am Japanese American and I have lived in the U.S. Mainland for just about a year, having moved from Hawaii. In just a year, I have experienced more racism here than I have in my entire life in Hawaii. I have been refused service at take-outs and restaurants, been assaulted on a bus, been harrassed in line at another fast-food restaurant, and have been "watched" very carefully while shopping. There was an incident where I was killing some time and decided to check out an antiques store. It was last winter and I had my heavy coat with me, but because the store was warm I had to take the coat off, but there being no place to hang the coat, I just carried it with me. Well, the woman in the store followed me around everywhere and whenever I touched something, she would run over and check out the item to make sure it was "still there". I was so insulted, I shook out my coat to show her that I had nothing under there, and then promptly left. I think people can yell until they're blue in the face but it's not going to change a person's point of view, if they refuse to listen. ChOcoBuNNy  |
