if you look for racism, then you will find racism. most of the "racism" we find in today's day in age is in the eye of the beholder. very little racism can be classified as complete and utter racism. this is why i am idealistic and state we should ignore all these little details that seem to drive people insane. you use examples of police officers, there will always be acts of racism, but not EVERYTHING is an act of racism. that's the message i'm trying to get across.

you're example of saying that i should'nt get off at a hotel until i reach houston is proven my theory, that the ignorant and un-educated are the racists. or are you going to argue that there are scholars along the highway? And my idealism of ignoring racism can once again be used in these circumstances. if some trailer trash white guy tells you a racial remark, you're going to tell me the wisest thing to do is to make a racial remark back? that is absurd. you're only wasting brain cells with individuals who probably never learned beyond 9th grade math. just IGNORE them. now, you seem to have a tendency to classify your acts of racism as hate crimes. there's a difference between hate crimes and racism. when i talk about racism, i'm making referrence to racial slurs and deragotory insults. you on the other hand, think of racism as attacks from police officers, or getting beaten up by white men in a bar; those are hate crimes, and are VERY different from racism.

out of the thousands of characters i've typed in this thread, that's all you could come up with to summarize my position? try again. you're way off. i think gamma and i are standing side by side on this one. his position is almost exactly the same as mine which is pretty much the same as the scholar who's work was written about in that CNN article.
