Why do SOME of you white ppl keep generalizin?????

Well I must say thank you for using the "some" in caps so that we know you are not putting us all in the same proverbial basket. I live in NY and its more or less a melting pot here. Sure there is plenty of racism going around and many people dont like black people or others who are different in general. First of all I use the term "black people" loosly since I think that there is really no reason to have a label for people due to the color of their skin. However, I also believe that people should not be judged for their creed, ual preference or religous beliefs as well. Its human nature to be scared of what you dont understand. Many people are brough up with the belief that anyone that does not look, act, feel or think like they do are horrible people and should be persecuted for it. Its disgusting if you ask me. The color of your skin does not determine the type of person you are, what you can become or even who you want to be. I see that... and try to look for the good in all people. I understand your agrivation, and it truly is warranted. I am tired of hearing things like "the white man is bringing us down" though. There are so many ignorant people in this world... but there are more and more every day who are opening their minds to people who are different than themselves. Alot of times these people who did not grow up in a diverse community like I did are then shot down by the very community they want to understand. This problem goes both ways unfortunatly, and is not only between black and white people... but all people in general. Its not fair to say that black people are the cause for most of the drugs and violence... people are looking at statistics from areas where these things are mostly noted... but most white people dont want to admit that most serial killers are middle aged white men. Being a white woman in a sociaty where there is so many different people I think I have been lucky to learn to look past skin and into the person themselves. You deserve the same rights as I do, and so does everyone else. It may be a while before everyone agrees with this... but the way I see it... as races are mixing now... given another few thousand years of evolution, we are all going to be the same color anyway, so why treat someone differently now. I hope I have been able to give you some insight here... I dont blaim anyone for this racism... more so I blaim ignorance. Learn to love yourself and the beautiful person you want and can be... and leave those who think less of you alone. The battle is not worth fighting unless you can find someone with some intelect to disguss this matter with. Good luck hun, and I personaly apologize for all of the ignorance you have encountered. It may not make up for it... but in some way maybe it will open the eyes of some other white person out there who feels the way the people you have run across feel.
