I grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri. So, race was always an "off limit subject", yet at the same time there would always be rascit diolgue. Thats why I quit going to church and turned away from god even when I've always been religous. Ive thought about race often but not every moment.

I can't find an answer to this in Google searches. I don't know if the answer is that every individual needs to stop being racist and then that will end institutional racism.

Black people have told me I am white not black, and white people have told me I am nothing but a N*. I say fukitol pill none of them pay my bills. Racism needs to end for real.

I find it so painfully funny how often a person of one race resorts to perpetuating stereotypes when relating to someone of another race without even overtly knowing it (because uneven racial dynamics are ingrained into our society).

I think the 6 years of blogging have helped crystalized your thoughts, and many people will benefit from this analysis.<br /><br />I did have one question though.
