"So true and I am sick of it. Racism is often used by people who are racists themselves as an excuse for their own bad behavior. Maybe I am a racist but not against people because of their color. I am a behavior racist. We all are around people of many different colors everyday in America. Do I shy away from all of them, no I don't. Do they have to look like whitey? No they don't but everyday we make judgment calls when it comes to safety of our family. There are areas of my city where I never go anymore, if I wish to see that neighborhood again all I have to do is turn on the news at 5. "
Please go move to one of these mentioned cities!
Yeah... I don't like onions. But It's not becuase I don't like the onion itself... I just dont like the taste!!
I like sugar in my coffee, not my words.

So, you’re saying that holding people to a behaviorial standard that is proven successful for other population groups is in and of itself “racist” because the majority of those not upholding that standard have more melanin in their skin?
