yeah, ethnic people ARE really racist. everything is so fucking hypocritical, it's almost frustrating. i really want to make some sort of change though. because it just isn't right

ok I had to break my commenting up. I like jokes about race. they are funny mostly cause so many stereotypes are so crazy and ridiculous. and also the ones that I guess are race jokes but they are I guess jokes only people of that race would get or sometimes even just cover all races just cause we've all know of the racism against us. really? cause I've been in rooms full of people enjoying racist jokes no awkward laughter there. but maybe that's just us. it's nice to not get mad at racism. to laugh your ass off at the stupidity of the things people have tried to used against you or to try and keep you down. it's very true though that there are more important matters that should be addressed in a serious matter. although I find it very interesting that ethnic people have started using such things against their own people. which some would say is just an other form of control over us, successful programing. an other interesting point though on that is that while a good amount of money is made of it from whatever ethnic group. even more

okay maybe the laughter isn't awkward all the time i may have been exaggerating. i just think that there's still a lot of fear in those rooms (i'm thinking about the audiences to race comedians

In my sociology class we were having our race unit and the professor said that it's the same thing every year, nobody will share their thoughts and opinions when it comes to race. The whole class just shuts down because it's such a taboo subject. I'm not even sure if that's good or bad. If nobody ever acknowledged race, then young kids wouldn't grow up with the concept of racism in the backs of their minds and so they wouldn't become racists. But on the other hand I don't think it's good to just forget about history, and I also don't think we should pretend all people are the same because they're not, even though they're all equal. America was always called a melting pot until people realized that sucked, because nobody wants to lose their culture. Culture goes along with race, so races are different in that regard, and that's another thing, even if we ignore race people will still notice it. I think it's kind of hard for a white American to have perspective on this because we're the majority and I can't image it any other way

man, if we got to talking about that in class i don't think i could keep quiet. i remember situations in high school class discussions where it would just explode out of me and everyone would whip their heads around, because i didn't say much. but i am FAR too passionate and moved by race as a subject to keep quiet. i wish i could have been in your class. AGHH it's soo complicated. i know! is it better to acknowledge or not to acknowledge? i feel like we need to respect and look at the past, but not to cling to it and let it rule us. actually, i believe that with anything. well i think it is hard for a white american to have perspective, but i also think that depends on where that white american grows up, because where i grew up whites weren't the majority. every race was pretty equal. there were blacks and hispanics and asians and whites. in fact, when you look at my class pictures, there were less whites because of all the other races. i think it's ridiculously important (at least for me) that children are brought up in
