6. I read it. What's the big surprise that we have huge numbers of racists .... oh, and
huge numbers of "non-racists" that seem to have a pretty piss poor opinion of a number of other people. You think your prejudices and nasty images and words are acceptable while theirs are not........ but when it comes right down to it, all comes from the same source. If you want to be different, try understanding, compassion, and maybe even some kind communication with those that you think "deserve" to be the targets of your displeasure.
