I often think about this and it amazes me that we can say with a straight face that we are the most intelligent mammals on the planet!!!!! If our species doesn't eradicate each other through our small minded way of thinking, well that would be a MIRACLE in my eyes. People often say silly things too me that race doesn't matter but whenever something which is racial is said people try to dismiss this like it never happened. Or what I mentioned at the start happens--- things that are hidden beneath the surface feel relieved to breath the air of freedom. For instance a TV presenter was having a private chat with her co worker and felt it was acceptable to describe someone else as looking like a Golliwog (if you truly don't know what this is...well, it's like a doll but it's a racist caricature which usually is BLACK with BIG RED LIPS and this used to be a widely acceptable way to depict black people)!!!! Now, everyone is entitled to their opinion but when someone says what was said is RACIST. No no no---it wasn't racist is usually the response or the real ugly face of the person is revealed as some people have said and would say....well, if you don't like it GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY!!!!! So, not only must some people tolerate racism but they aren't even entitled too express when they feel offended. If you say something and it turns out that you've offended the person well isn't it then natural to apologise.
End note Racism sucks.....skin is skin and if this can be used as such a thing to HATE a person and deny them a right to social EQUALITY well.....can you keep a straight face and say we are the most intelligent mammals on the planet with such a PRIMITIVE way of thinking.
