yo yo...i think people throw around the term "racist" too much and it bothers me. you constantly hear of people in news having to apologize for racist remarks that are not racist at all. for instance there was that person who said that obama wouldn't be where he is if he was white. everyone got up in arms that it was racist. why is it racist to point something out that is pretty much true. to me racism is treating someone different solely for the reason of their race. i honestly beleive i don't do that. i will however treat someone of a differnet race differnet if they also carry themselves poorly. to me its more about the way a person speaks and carries themselves.
i also think there's nothing wrong with realizing certain racial stereotypes. lets face it, stereotypes aren't randomly made up. they're usually true and for a reason. i think a lot more people stereotype than they would like to think.
mainly i think that the obama comment had nothing wrong with it. making a comment about the political race in terms of race race doesnt make someone racist. they didnt say he's dumb cuz he's black, or something like that. end.
