Have you ever been racist?

[Anonymous]

If so, what was your reason

[TonyMetal___86]

Nope, never!
I never saw myself different from any other race, i see them all as human beings but who's good is good ans who's bad is bad!

Tnx for the mho

We all have been racist and sexist. Hopefully it’s not enough to remember. Just feel bad about and move on. That’s how we better ourselves.

You might've been able to accuse me of it when I was a kid but, as my parents were, I just followed their lead because I didn't know any better. That was also before the civil rights movement so, it was still fairly common. By the time I got into my very early teens, I stopped doing it.

At least you're honest

[FunkyMonkee]

I sure try to be! If you lie a lot and then you ARE honest nobody will believe you when you need them to!
But, even then, it wasn't like I was making fun of them or calling them nasty names and being rude to them,. For instance, the only blacks I ever saw when I was a kid (about 4 or 5 years old) were the garbage men. One day, mom had me in her arms at the store and a black woman got in line behind us. I saw her and said, "Look, mommy, a garbage lady." It wasn't a racial thing, it's just that, as far as I knew, all blacks were garbage people.

i'm not a "racist". i'm just good at pattern recognition.

[Asker]

And that pattern is?

[genericname85]

if you're good at pattern recognition that means you understand patterns in general. not that you only have "one pattern that you recognize".

[handsomelad70]

I don't think so.

Nope
