I mentioned I feel racism is a 'taught fault' that prejudice is a choice...
both are learned from life experience and by example.
I too have let my emotions take me to an irrational place because of negative experience.
Perhaps this is a fleeting place for your friend and is based on something
she is experiencing now in her life or collectively.
My son was beaten, held at gunpoint and robbed as a teen by a couple of black boys.
This brought me to a really bad place although I knew it was irrational.
After being brought up without prejudice, and teaching my children the same by example,
I just couldn't get over the hate that came over me.
It was wrong to judge all for something just two did and I knew this but it took time to work through it.
I hope this might be the case with your friend Jean.
Opinions can change daily most especially when we let love in.
I don't know Pandi. Out of nowhere she "proclaims" this, and expects me to agree. Then she goes on, and that she'd never let her daughters marry out of her race, regardless of love. It's just sad.
Hmmm... she has a lot learn about daughters to say the least!
I guess we can be sorry for her but you know this idea is becoming more frequent....
the thought of 'saving' the white race
its being said that natural redheads and then blondes in the not too terribly distant future will be extinct.
That's a little sad I guess. It's nice to have variety.
I'm blonde as are my kids but of course I have no say in who they fall in love with or marry
or if they do either.
Hell the way people pretend to be politically correct now a days, you tell a joke and you are racist. My nephew will call me racist and then sit down and laugh at the same thing I said because it is on South Park. So there you go.

It's all about the way something is presented, shape shit into a chicken nugget form, market it correctly and people will eat it. They will line the streets for it,
i personally think that "racist" joke are only racist when they are meant to be insulting and if you actually dislike them for there race, for example me and my friend whose english always slag eachothers nationalitys but don't really mean what we say, its more like banter, same with me and my girlfriend whose a different religion, we slag each other over it but don't mean it in an offensive way
some people are two quick to see slagging as being racist or sectarian though, its all about what the intent behing the comments is

I can totally get that...except my friend does it as an acceptable way to take shots/give insults. I don't make jokes like that with her (or anyone for that matter). The one time when she did it to me, I did tell her I never talk to her like that, so she shouldn't talk to me like that. It's a two way street. If people are cool with giving and receiving such jokes and insults, then they can have at it. And yes, we are still friends, and we do joke, as I do have a sense of humour, after all. I just don't think it's a respectful thing to do if you really want to be friends with people of other races, religions, gender, looks, etc...kwim?
I'm one of Pearl Jam's few black fans. It can be a bit lonely at shows, let me tell ya.
Hmm. Even though you used to post all those "Stuff white people do posts" the fact that you're a 80's hair metal fan makes me seriously doubt that claim. Prove it!

Personally, I LOVE the old All in the Family's and The Jefferson's.
Ever notice how "bullying" is all over the news. they want to make kids felons if they get into a fight at school. I wonder who is pushing that onto the sheeple?
