[QUOTE="DerekL, post: 3033292, member: 153067"] You know, I think this could be a really interesting topic. How should we approach racism. Flashlock, I have thought the same thing. What if one day, everyone just started ignoring skin color? What if everyone could all of a sudden, just completely ignore the fact that different people have a different skin color? I wonder if it would actually change things, or if people would hate others just as much, and find different reasons for hating each other? I personally do not think that ignoring racial differences and the cultural differences that underly them is the way to go about solving racism. The whole concept has gotten out of hand. I do not mean to go of track, but the imus issue recently highlights the problem. The pullers of the "racist" card have taken away from the matter at hand: Some jackass has called a group of intelligent, athletic women, who are doing the best they can to better themselves (and are both white and black mind you) have been insulted by some bloody jackass with a mic. What would you think if someone called your daughter, or your sister a "nappy headed ho?" Instead of making it something it is not, let us deal with the issues at hand. [/QUOTE]
