Okay, so perhaps I am naivee. I know racism is sadly alive and well still in society, but I guess I'm just not use to seeing such blanent examples of it. When I do see it, it's usually under the guise of nationalism (Mexicans are taking our jobs) or humor (What do you call a black man that....). It's not right, but I try to realize people at times can be ignorant and fearful. However when people down right just start laughing at someone of a different creed I'm shocked and maybe it's my own damn fault for reading comments on newsweb sites like Yahoo. It seems the worse of humanity is spewed out on there.
I don't get it, and I think I never will. I know at times I can make some broad generalizations that I should have stopped and thought about, but I just could never really hate a whole group of people just because they speak differently then I do, dress, eat or worship differently, let alone because their skin tone is different then mine.
So do I hate the haters, or pity them?
