(10,539 posts)What words of caution would they have said? If they said never get a black woman's hair wet it would have been great advice, but somehow I get the feeling that like most racists, they do not have a clue about black people and that is the problem. Being separated from each other by neighborhoods, schools etc., encourages racism. When two races get to live and intermingle what they will learn is that they are not so different after all. Aside form some physical and cultural differences, we all want the same things, have the same feelings.
It is like Mitt Romney not knowing about poor and middle class people. He goes to a McDonalds trying to look like an average American and then comments on how neat the little cardboard box is that his hamburger came in, turning it over in his hands fascinated. He totally defeated his purpose because he demonstrated that he did not have a clue how regular Americans live. How could someone like that be able to understand us and lead us? It is the same with racists, they spread BS among themselves about what minorities are like but have no real concept of it.
