Pretty,
To me it's like amost 2 people have written your last post. First you say "I Do Not hate people of any race, first of all." But then you go on to say some things that can be considered insulting. In your first post, you stated "So I don not understand why ANY Black person would want one in their bed." I'm sorry, but that IS insluting. If I had said "so I don't know why an white person would want one(black person) in their bed." I would have imediatly been considered racist, predjudice, disriminatory, whatever you want to call it, and I probably would have been banned from the message board for it. The fact of the matter is, you are probably right. We will never have true equality in this world most likely. There will always be someone out there that thinks they are better than someone else based on skin color, gender, age, what have you. But how are we going to know that we can't stop it unless we try to stop it? And what am I doing about it as a white person? Well first off, I don't practice those beliefs, I'm not adding to the hate either. I might not have a national campaign going or anything, but I have never NEVER discriminated against anyone because of their race. Second, you obviously don't care if things get better or worse because it seems that you have given up. What are You doing to make things beter? Even though you say you don't hate white people, your words really make you seem to. From what I've read in your posts, you have a serious problem with white people. As for parents looking down at their daughters/sons dating someone black. Yes, my parents are like that, and it sucks and I Hate it. Its a fact I have to live with and any person I've dated that was of a different race (not just black). BUT, I've dated guys who's parent could not meet ME because I was white. It might not be as common, but the door swings both ways. I also have met guys who couldn't take me home, not because I was white but because I am pagan. So I've had people discriminate against me because I'm white and because of my religion. It's not fun, no, but I deal with it, and I don't hate all black people because of what my b/f's parents thought. And I don't hate Christians because my b/f's parents didn't agree with my religion. I hate to say it, but don't try to make it seem that it only happens to black people. It doesn't. Like I said, with the parent issue, the door swings both ways.
