that ugly word racism and its impactHow Do You Deal Racism, Hate Or Others?

I must make my thoughts known since all you hear about lately is racism, racism racism. Look, you have to understand that, never at any time in history, has America been flooded with so many ethnic and racial minorities. When I was younger, people were divided into ethnic neighborhoods, there were the Italian markets, the chinese section, the jewish sections; there was no problem, people existed together in spite of their different backgrounds, the exception was that "there was no violence towards others" Oh, sure there was the kid called skinny, the fat girl laughed at by the boys, the stutterer, etc. But nobody tried to sue the school district or got lawyers, etc. This was part of growing up, you simply cannot protect children or adults from this sort of practice, it must just be ignored; however, due to the impact through movies, internet, and...Violent gangs, this will only worsen. I see what is happening and I truly feel sorry for the teenager who is "different" . When hormones are flowing, the kids will just go after the kid who won't fight back. I remember being pulled around the playground by my hair because I was tall and skinny and most of the children were fully developed..If a child cannot cope, he or she must move out of the school district. Let the violent ones pick on themselves. Their day will come. It is up to the parents to monitor their childs' reaction to bullying and, if it is racial, towards any race, it must be stopped by the school principal. Now, with the internet, a lot of bad things can happen. The black community should not be so sensitive over a silly remark made by a foolish teenager, remarks that they themselves use from time to time. Why fight over these silly things, it's a big world out there and plenty of opportunity to better yourself, when you shout "racism" over every little glance or remark, you actually create an attitude of avoidance, rather than acceptance. You may be young to understand but the words "Pollock, Dago, Wop, Chink have all been used against white people. Did they rally up and attempt to beat someone up, I don't think so, their parents would "do the beating" Try to avoid confrontations, learn to be peaceful, if a white girl chooses a black boy, the black girls should overlook it, and the other way around. We must learn to live together in a peaceful world. Black, oriental, Indian, whatever, get out of gangs...Learn..And you will wind up in Wall Street, no matter what your race. Good Luck!
