I take people and situations as they are. In general I'd say there's more racism on the politics forum than here. People here are just a little more honest, which I respect.
My personal feelings about racism are pretty simple. Racism is the sign of a weak mind but some people really need it as a buffer from their own reality.
I see alot of people use this phrase and I thinks it's bullshit. There are alot of factors that contribute to how some people react to people of other races. I've talked to HM about this a little bit, but there are personal experiences that form some peoples opinions on other races.
My dealings with blacks as a teenager......I knew 3 of them......
One was locked up at 17 for drugs, at school.
The other two were locked up at 19 for raping and murdering a white girl.
