I have to agree with PM_Mama. I have only once or twice known to have said things that have made people reevaluate their stance, but generally speaking many people think their all-knowing on THE WAY of Racism. I'm not saying I've ever been discriminated against due to be white....but I'm also not using slurs, giving disproving looks, or feeling otherwise negatively towards any person with skintone different than my own....If I can find this little article I once published in the school newspaper I will try...it summed up very nicely my concerns with racism...if not I'll summarize in a bit. But in the eyes of the general citizen...I am racist because I am white, I could have dated black girls, had crushes on black girls, cringed and defended racist remarks, donated to pro-black causes...but I am white, and thus a racist....and that disgusts me.
anyway...does anyone have ANY thoughts that counter the virtual axiom in my quote from the article on page two of this thread?
