It really has to do with the environment people are exposed to, raising and upbrining. I am sure you know this already, but i have to admitt.. i was racist and i did not even know it. Not only to white, and blacks, but to sex, and age as well. I was all around stupid. It saddens me to think, that although i was raised wiht my family speaking poorly of others, and where tehre were racial battles within my family, i unconscisouly got sucked into that horrible and gruesome vortex. I am proud to be who i am, and that simply means, i am a Child of God. I am not afraid to die, what i am afraid of is to find out that the people that i trusted all my lives are the ones very capable of committing Hate crimes. For the first time in my life, i am truly scared of the people i know. I was in DENIAL... Please Pray for me... Today, racism is very prevalent all over america.
