An abyss of differences

Why is that that people can’t get by each others differences. Both young and old become rude and sometimes indignant at the simple fact that their skin is a different color from others, or most often that the other person’s skin isn’t the same as theirs- it sounds like the same, but believe me, those are two completely different mindsets. The constant racist comments, from both sides mind you, end up causing problems beyond the imagination. In all honestly, no, Caucasian people do not, for the most part, understand what it’s like to be in slavery- but at the same time the ones that you live with in today’s society didn’t partake in it either, and they can’t be held accountable for their ancestors actions, and even if they were then you would have to acknowledge the fact that somewhere in there a white person had to be an abolitionist to make it happen- some white dude had to sign some document enabling desegregation. And I am aware that it isn’t the whole of our darker counterparts just as it isn’t the whole of whites who say things that are inappropriate. (I’m going to say African American or black- if you become offended because you’re not from Africa or you feel its derogatory, I apologize but I’ll use whatever it is that you prefer when the group as a whole can make up their mind. I mean nothing in disrespect, I’m just tired on stepping on someones toes no matter what I use. It’s simply an associative term in my opinion). Moving on… Also, why is it okay for our youth- the youth not more than a generation or two away from those who actually, first-hand, fought for equal rights- finds humor in these racist comments that cause so much strife. Or why do they have to label an activity as strictly White or Mexican or Black. It’s true, blacks, as a culture, are good at sports (specifically those of contact) and dancing and singing. But not all of them are. Just as Hispanics are diligent workers. And that’s not a bad thing. They were raised, culturally, to be hard workers and to be proud of what they do- if more whites and blacks were like that, things would be a lot better- but not all Mexicans are like that either. And all I hear from other cultures/races is that the white people take over everything- and to be honest, they tend to do that- but there isn’t a whole lot of others to compete. And I understand that there are still people out there in Americia that are racist and act accordingly in their business and service and whatnot, and shouldn’t be. But those people aren’t holding your future in their hands- they just closed of that particular door way; Do you really think that God is going to make your life miserable just because of this one guy- God is not racist and if you say otherwise, I advise that you simply don’t speak around me- because that’s just nonsense. Now, from what I understand about 80-90% of the black community will be in an uproar if they were to read my brief comment here if nothing more than I’m a white girl having a say about the African American community. But for those who may read- I am a part of a joyous Christian sorority where I am part of the small 1% of Caucasian girls- the remaining ladies are black. And I love each and every single one of them to death- it must be a miracle that we all act like sisters- who would have ever imagined…
