In my honest opinion there is only one way to make "Racism" go away. It must simply be forgotten. When you are dating a girl she is just that, a girl. She is not a Black Girl or a White Girl, or a pink, or red, or blue girl. She's a girl.
When someone robs a bank it should be reported that a man or men robbed a bank. For example instead of saying that "Two black men robbed the First Niagara bank this afternoon." You might say, instead, that "Two men robbed the First Niagara bank this afternoon. They were described as white males of medium height."
Color should not be the first qualifier used to describe a human
being. Color takes on a totally different connotation when describing humans. It becomes a matter of Pride to some and a reason for fear and hate in others
IMHO The fact that teams of various Ethnicities are being used panders to the races. It was meant to gather ratings by polarizing the viewing public in much the same way that Sports does. I, for one, might not watch a Yankees game regularly but I WILL watch it if they're playing the "SOX"
I, sadly, am in some small part a racist. I have not totally cast off the paranoias of my youth but I'm getting there. I do sometimes describe someone as a (enter color here) man even as I realize that it is wrong. People must make an effort not to foster the pigeon-holing of other people.
In another board I replied to a poster who complained about various Races. He was blaming everyone but the right one.
In my answer I told him "That if he really felt the need to blame someone he should drop into a place of worship, sit down, look up at the altar and blame his God. After all, he started this mess didn't he?
