This is going to settle it.

Because certain people believe that I'm a racist because I said that Bush was a racist, and because I 'assign color to everything', because I assigned color to ONE thing, I'd like to make a few things known

Thank you for writing this Ebony.

Not saying I could ever completely understand or anything. But goddamn, so many people reallyreally need to hear what you are saying here :/

You need to understand two things: 1. You don't know everything. Nobody does. You're not alone on that one. 2. Not everyone's going to agree with you. Your opinion isn't universal. And yes, saying something rash like the president of our country is a racist based upon obscure observations isn't enough to solidify such a bold accusation.

I just want people to look under the skin. I want there to no longer be blacks or whites or mexicans or asians. Just people.

I wish the rest of the world could understand that.

I admit I have racial bias, even though it's slight. Everyone does. That's a fact of life. But to assign people colors instead of names or personalities is wrong. I was asked if I had black/mexican/asian friends, and I said yes, but I don't think of them as that. They're just friends, not colors. Going and looking for more black friends to appear less racist would be incredibly racist in itself, as it is a strong bias toward one race over the other.

this is so ironic because my gender studies class talked about this all day today. Thanks for putting this out there. whether people agree/disagree whatever, they shouldn't be ignorant about it <3
