I'll start off by saying first that I am very far from being a "racist" person. I have a lot of friends of many different racises and can consider myself blessed to have the opportunity to know people that are of many different backgrounds.
I have one simple question, when is our community and society going to quit calling people white, black, mexican, indian, chinese, etc?
I had a chance to work with a few guys from out east lately and I dont think they have really been exposed to people other than white people. I hear them talk about people in terms of color and its really bothering me lately. I'm a white guy that loves Indian food and indian culture, I have many black friends and mexican friends and I enjoy seeing the different cultures. I really do enjoy being exposed to everyones lives and comparing theirs to mine.
We are the melting pot in this country for all different types of people. Not only race but wealth. We, in this country seem to judge people based on their color, wealth, what they drive, how they look so much and it really makes me sad.
I grew up with a mother, who was a missionary that went around the world trying to preach the word. Now, I I dont really agree with trying to force issues because everyone has the right to live and believe what they want. But, why does our country always base impressions on the first thing you see? My mom took care of a homeless guy back when I was about 9 years old. She let him live with us for a few months to help him get on his feet. His room was right across the hall from mine and I spend a lot of time listening to his stories and complicatins and it really taught me a lot about different types of life. I am greatful to have that experience.
Can we ever get to be a country of true freedom and except people for who they are? Really, do you think we can do that or do we have a media base that manipulates us to think we have to be a certain way, color, belief? When are we going to quit calling people by their color? Lets stop, and see people for they are.
