    It's pretty laughable at this point. I just keep calm and carry on. Getting caught up in the whole racism thing can engulf your life and at times, ruin it...

    All the racism and bigotry, and plain old fashioned hate and ignorance is what led me to leave covers.. for what, a year? two years??

     It seems like there is a disproportionate amount of bigots and racist on here. I dont want to be around ppl like that..the few differences between the ethnic groups shouldnt out weigh all we have in common...were all just tryin to make it day to day. And find a cold one to drink, something to smoke, and someone to lay down with at night...leave long enough to watch our kid's kids grow to do the same thing.

    and then go on Yelp and give them one star for bad customer service.  WTF did you expect?

    Blacks need to do a better job with responsibility. We're all a little tired of their lazy ways. Our country has turned to crap since diversity was shoved down our throats. Fact. I'm out.

    Skinhead. Remember when guys used to be bald? Now, if you're a "skinhead" it's totally different......

    Touche'

    I looked up skinhead and here is what I found:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead

    I even learned something today.  It just goes to show how the media can hijack a term.  

    For me, racism is like child porn.  You may not be able to identify it definitionally, but you know it when you see it.

    Every human is racist in some way, Get over it, Being Patriotic is theoretically racist, Being proud of your race is also theoretically racist, Dating a woman of your own race is also theoretically racist, We're all racist, It's just some people can and some can't accept that.

    Everyone is prejudice, not racist.

    I don't believe whites are somehow superior to blacks in anyway. I'm not a racist towards blacks.

    I don't want my sister dating a black guy. I'm prejudiced towards blacks.

    This very thread says it all about racism.  The comments are truly comical.

    Things like you're a 'racist' if you didn't vote for Obama certainly don't help.

    Certain words being censored while the lyrics of some hip hop songs are fine is ridiculous.

    I'd say Obama calling the Ft Hood massacre 'workplace violence' instead of a terrorist act to protect a muslim and not compensate the survivors is racist and then some.

    If you can't say 'colored people' someone please tell me what the C in NAACP stands for.
