I had to read this thread simply for entertainment but I do have one thing to say out of pure experience..........I am damn tired of hearing about racism. Does racism exist? Yes. Is it new to this world? No. Is there racism against Chinese, East Indian, Mexicans, Blacks etc etc? You bet your ass. (and the REVERSE holds true) Are there any races out there that hate the white man and blame racism on him, who were actually initially put into slavery by their OWN people? Again, your ass can be bet. Are there members of a minority group who are MORE racist than the whites that they despise, but are able to pawn this hatred off simply as a "response to what they have endured" ? Again, a resounding YES!
How about in Toronto - homicides are up from a regular 50 a year to 72. Over 90% of those are black on black crime. Why is this so? Is it becasue the white man oppressed the black youths? These kids come from solid middle class families and attend the same schools as we do. Is it because they have to fight to survive the oppression? No, their parents are professionals and work hard to give these kids the $300 Nike's they wear. What about the influence of their Rap music? Have you listened to the lyrics and the message it sends to these kids? Who is filling their heads with ideas of gun toting, woman raping, cop killing, drug slinging bullshit? /.................it is not the white man.
(I am also part of a charitable organization aiming to assist and hopefully curb this problem by giving time and money to these youth groups and TRY and facilitate positive ideas and goals among our youth) The real route of the problem today is NOT solely due to the white man. It is due to groups who do not respect each other or those around them.
The sooner we end the BS and start taking responsibility for our own actions, the sooner we will see many issues resolve themselves. Some people work to keep the hatred alive so they keep a purpose in life. As long as the fires are fanned, there will never be any real movement forward.
My two cents...and now back to harness racing
