Perhaps you don't define them by race simply because they are members of your family. You think of them as people before anything else. I've 'known' you for a very long time, bsams...since 2000. I think that you accept certain members of racial groups if you feel like you know them and they fit into your definition of cool...the whole "some of my best friends are..." deal.

I also think that if a black guy that you didn't know...let's say me f'r instance...walked down your street minding his own, you'd be on the porch with a rifle making sure that I didn't rape no white wimmens.



that's some rationale, you decide if i like someone of another race, it must be because i am familiar with them? well if i like someone even Caucasian it's because i am familiar with them. by your logic then wouldnt i dislike black people i'm not familiar with? i honestly dont like or dislike someone based on their skin color, my family to the best of my knowledge does not either.


my family doctor is a phillipino, i live in Appalachia, there are plenty of white doctors, you think i distrust people of different races yet, i picked the foreigner? am i spying on her for the white people or something? i let a foreigner be my kids line between good health and bad but i dont like other races?

it really is sad that you and whomod believe the baloney that has been spread, but honestly i dont really know anyone in my community that is racist, im sure their are, im naive, if barack obama can go to a secret racist church in the middle of chicago for 20 years im sure their are secret places like that here in the styx, but hopefully it's the exception in chicago as it is here...
