Well, I feel the same but I do understand the turmoil that does develop in these urban situations. I actually think it's inevitable when a whole bunch are packed together. Even if they were all the same ethnicity I think that turmoil would develop due to large numbers in close proximity, a lot of concrete around and stuff, not natural. |

You may have a point. But I see a heck of a lot more interracial dating in the urban area where I work than I do in the 'burbs where I live.

I agree and disagree. True, people are individuals and the determined ones, no matter what their race or circumstances, can and will do amazing things.
However, we're speaking about the impact that is felt as a 'society of people' because of hatred that was placed not on idividuals, but on a race. The hatred that was/and is spread is not individual at all. |

There are still people out there that hate Jewish people but they are getting on with things.
My point is that I do not like the way people just talk about how blacks have had it hard as there are so many others in the same boat but the difference is that blacks stand out due to colour and are easy to use as an example. That in itself is a form of racism, to me anyway.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the jewish race. However, let's remember that Germans, to this day, pay a percentage of their pay to Jews for the wrongs of their ANCESTORS. |
