I'm a little more than sick and tired of racism.

I think it's run it's course long enough, and it's done nothing but create difficulty for society's growth. I'm ready to put this nonsense to bed. Unfortunately most other people aren't.

I've heard racial jokes, and I've told racial jokes. That's not the problem. The problem is when we make someone feel like less of a person because of pigment in their skin.

Not long ago I went to a show put on through my school. I went alone, and it was majority black. I got such dirty looks that I left halfway through the show. When I tried to pass through an aisle, I said excuse me and got dirty looks. Nobody moved. So I found myself climbing over chairs.
I almost cried.
I don't care if people are mean to me in general, it's your prerogative. However, if I was with a crowd of whites and there was one black person there, I'd treat them with the same amount of respect as any other person there. Because they aren't simply a 'black person', they're a human being. That's just how I treat people. So when I'm looked at different, it hurts a little.
There's such a lack of mutual respect among human beings and it makes me sick.
So I'm moving forward with my life, and I'm going to continue to look past petty things like race and religion and culture.
Care to join me if you feel that you're mature enough to handle such a concept.
