It seems as though race is becoming a bigger problem now than any of us had anticipated. It seems as though some whites have strengthened their hate for blacks and vice versa with all the recent developments about the injustice of not just blacks but minorites on the whole. Yes blacks are affected probably the most and if this continues it will just cause tensions throughout the US. What will happen when not just black but colored people become the majority which is the way things will eventually be in the next 20-30 years? Why do people feel the need to make themselves feel better by putting down others who have the same abilites as they do and who are just as superior to whites if given the chance? To me it`s just plain advantageous. Time will tell and I just hope the race relations doesn`t cause any violence or cause more hate from both parties. A man is just a man. Why can`t people see that? What makes white skin better than black skin? I guess the bigots and racists in this country like to try to divide and rule but that can only happen for too long. The future will tell.
My wife is white and it just happened to be that way. I didn`t go out looking for a white woman as some people who see interracial couples think that the men seek white women but back to the point she`s always saying to me I wish there was something that could be done to alleviate the problems about race. When I see on the news or read about the injustices she knows it gets me angry and VERY heated and the bad side in me comes out and she tries to calm me down but it needs to go out my system by itself and she sometimes feels bad being white. I tell her that I know not all white ppl are like that but it`s just hard to trust others when you see stuff like that and it always seems as though they are trying to put away blacks for longer periods than whites. It`s unjust and then they call themselves christians. Fire and brimstone for them and I wish I could have seen what their last words would be when judgement time comes.

There are people who have based their existence race. Al Sharpton and David Duke come to mind. Without race as an issue they have no substance. The world is not flat nor is it Black and White. We as a people need to move beyond Black because Yellow and Brown are doing their thing. America is at a crossroad and the greatest strength we have moving forward is our diversity. Consider you and your wife to be reflections of the modern America. If you do that your children will have the strength of their diversity and the wisdom to build bridges with all good people regardless and perhaps most importantly to ignore and not embrace the negative within any group.
Exactly, well said and that's how I was brought up, not with ignorance and narrow mindedness. You sound like my mother or father. Smile but well said and you sound as though you have some sense. Hope everyone sees what you typed.
