Sorry, that was racist... let me rephrase that.
A Latino and an African American jump off a building. Who wins? Society.
Gee, now that was better isn't it?
Anyway, Mark Twain said "Any feeling, if sincere, is involuntary", or was it... "Any feeling, if involuntary, is sincere" actually its the first one just looked it up... but anyway what's so wrong with racism? Can people really control what you feel or think or believe? The only things u can truly control are ur actions, unless ur an eplictic. Sure u may think that a black guy moving to ur neighborhood is a "well there goes the neighborhood" idea. Doesn't mean u have to put burning crosses in his yard and invite ur klan buddies for a lynching party. I just might be missing something... I been in a Texas school were about 1/3 were black, 1/3 latino, and 1/3 white or asian. I been in Kansas school where theres about 5 black people, and I might be a few over cause some of them might be hispanic, I never been good at dicephering between the humans... also I'm sick of people saying that the racial barrier has fallen because Barak is in office. I'm gonna keep away from politics... cause once I get into some issues its just a long (errr longer) rant. Also if I remember right, racism is the idea of blacks of hispanic or asians or whites or insert whatever in here being flawed or worse or something, but discrimination is when u start acting on it.
