Racism...

Could someone please explain it to me? Will I ever understand it?

Let me say this first. I view people of all races as equals. It may not be that way in the real world, but that's how I view my fellow human being. I work with Whites and Blacks. You have some Whites and Blacks that work very hard. You also have Whites and Blacks that are very lazy. I've worked with both. In all races you have people that kill each other and work hard together.

To me, if you belittle someone by calling them a nasty name like Kramer did at a comedy club, or Imus did a basketball team, that's just it, belittling them. Calling them a nasty name. I think we should all learn to get along and not call out names.

Kramer used the N word. That word can also be used to describe a White person. It means an ignorant person. Whites can be this way too. Blacks use this word to each other all the time.

To me this is called name calling. It may go deeper than that, though, to some people. Is calling a person of a different race a name racism? If I'm wrong, please enlighten me. I want to know what racism is.

I looked up what racism is. Its a race thinking they are better than another race. I'm no better than anyone else.

Imus didn't say anything new. The men of that race call women of that race that name in rap.

Let's have it this way: If you don't people calling you certain names if you are of a particular race, your own race shouldn't do it either. Fair is fair. If one person can say it, so can another of a different race.

Let's be the people we are and act like it. We should all treat each other as equals of all races, after all we all live on Planet Earth.
