30. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate between racism, and just a mean-spirited
people.

I went to a private school for college. Only 2% minority. At the time, I didn't even consider myself a minority member and felt I was part of what we now know as the "white" culture. Well, let me tell you, I got to witness white on white crime. LOL! It's alive and well in sorority houses across this country. LOL! I never pledged, mind you, but being an independent made me neutral territory and the girls would come running to tell me their misfortunes at the hands of their "sisters." I just can't believe how mean some people can be to their own kind. Maybe I even wondered back then, if minorities realized that some of the things they were subjected to, were just an outcrop of a mean-spirited battle for power.
