Today was a hard day to say the least, a lot of things going on, but anyways that is not the point of today's topic. Last night I was aim with I good friend and he was talking about a situation that happen to him, I won't really go into of it, but it has to do with him being a white person and the situation had something to with some black people. I he was asking don't I feel ashamed, and I told him that, "No, I don't because I don't let others make or define me." Then I told him "If you get burned by a stove do you stop eating cooked food?" Then I really started to think about what I said, do a lot of people get burned by a "stove" and stop eating "cooked food"? I think people who have the attitude that all races act like their stereotypes. I mean I do know white people who play computer games and some that are nerdy and awkward and some who are cool as shit. On the other hand I know black people that gangbang, some that do all the black stereotype, but that doesn't mean that is all that defines them because some of the gangbanger are smarter than some most people in college. The thing that gets under my skin it that fact that most people who say they hate any other races has never had any interaction with them and all they go off of is what they see on TV and what they hear and never try to see if that is the truth or not. So, I ask anyone who reads this to least try to meet one person a different race and try to get some insight on their life and give them some insight of yours. {What could I hurt?}
