FACT: Racism will never go away...EVER

You cannot change something I believe is inherent in all of us, and that is fear of things different than ourselves.

I honestly believe over time it will only get worse...why?

Because we continue to try to force diversification when it goes against our very human nature, we are animals, and I just don't think it's something that you will ever change.

Sure, because we are "more" intelligent than most other animals, we try. We try to look past the things that make us different, and we try to pretend as if we aren't different, when we are, and you can't change that fact.

The more we try to pretend white people are the same as black people, or that men are the same as women, I think the bigger divide is created.

Instead we should acknowledge we are equal in the eyes of the law, but there are definitely traits that make us different.

To do otherwise, only creates more animosity.

To continue to force people to accept those outside their "tribe," only creates more animosity.

We went from a society where we lived separately, to forced integration over a very short period of time.

During that time, we all tried to get along, and things were fine. But, it is my opinion that this melting pot that we have created has too many cooks in the kitchen, and just one too many spices have been added.

In just a bit over 40 years we have had to accept the fact that whites, Hispanics and blacks would have to not only work together, but to live together, and then to spice things up we've added numerous other races since then, and now Homosexuals want to be tossed into the mix.

I am sure you will have those who will argue that immigrants have been coming to America for hundreds of years, and yes they have.

But, with each new immigrant that entered this country, you had your new "n*gger."

Whether it was the Chinese, the Irish, the Italians, whoever. They each had to overcome the resistance the established communities put up to keep the new outsiders, just that...outside.

Now consider this. If you can't get two groups who each descended from white skinned Europeans to get along. People who not only look alike, but even share some cultural similarities, then how do you expect people of different races to get along?

You can't.

My point is not that racism is okay, it is, what it is.

I am not even saying that we should accept it, that it should be allowed. I am saying that it will always be here, and there is nothing you can do about it.

You can attempt to educate people, but you will not change something that you were born with. You will try to rationalize why you should be accepting of other cultures, other races, and in your head it will sound all peachy keen and you will feel good about yourself as you profess you are not a racist.

While deep down, you will fight the urges, that you as an animal were born with.

You will also smile as they continue to make new laws, forcing you to accept yet one more person, one more race, one more religious belief, one more confused sexual identity, in the name of diversity.

But deep down you will resent it, and it is this, that will ultimately be our undoing.
