Excuse me for gaying up this thread massively[
], but on a serious note...you never fight fire with fire, it will only make the flames bigger. You fight fire with water....that will help to put out the flames.
Everyday of my life on or offline, I conduct myself as the successful, intelligent person that I am, and choose to never lower myself to anyone's level. In the end, I feel representing my 'people' with diplomacy and goodwill goes a tinsy bit towards reducing racism, as it puts one more black person in a positive light in an attempt to counter the stereotypes... albeit a very small and insignificant thing in the scheme of things.
Flame on
