96. so you want me to simply accept

that racism will never end. this is how it is and we should accept it. abandon all hope and idealism for change. remove the rose tinted glasses and throw in the towel....

I don't feel that way... sorry?

I can say this much. we'll never have world peace. racism never will be erased! true. but we can make it better. history proves that. the future has much potential so yes, we can shed ourselves of the old and primitive thought processes that divide us.

I am sorry for what 1sbm and his family have endured. that's unfair and I don't support that crap. for every white person as ignorant as that there's a lot of white people like me who would disagree with them.

My wife has a grandfather that once stood up to a racist white at a corner store because a black girl and a white girl were sharing a soda pop. the racist said to the grandfather "you gonna let her drink after her?" the grandfather took the soda from the little girls, looked right in the man's eye and drank from it himself. "you have a problem with that?"

and the racist bigot sneered and left.

I will be that kind of man. there are many others who would also do the same and we are spreading. racism is shrinking believe it. it won't disappear but it will fade. with enough time. just keep hope. what's wrong with that?
