Wow. Things got real nasty in a hurry.

There are plenty of brilliant, upstanding people of all races. There are also plenty of who will look down on their fellow man because of gender, race, religion, or economic class. Bigotry crosses all groups. NO ONE should be judged by the color of their skin.

Like I tell my children, we are all red on the inside.

White people are discriminated against as well. I am extremely fair skinned and lived in North Carolina for 6 years. I was routinely harassed by African-Americans because I was so white. I speak Spanish, so I know what Hispanics are saying about me and my children behind my back when we are out at the park / store.

My ancestors were brought to America as slaves after they lost the Battle of Preston. Yes, there were white slaves too. I have been to diversity training at my work place, where the instructor used wildly incorrect statements to bash my religion.

Discrimination happens across all spectrums... but it is much better in the US than anywhere else in the world.
