I learned racism in high school when 3 blacks jumped me because I refused to give one of them my coat. The black assistant principal suspended me for 2 weeks saying that I could have avoided the whole situation by just giving it to them. He also failed to mention that those 3 did anything wrong, and of course, they were not suspended. For quite some time after that, I was very anti-black as well as anti- anything and everyone not white. It wasn't until I got to college that I met a black guy that I actually got along with, and we became pretty good friends. It turns out that he was fairly anti-white at the time, though he ended up getting married to a white woman with 2 white kids from a previous marriage. We showed each other that not everyone that doesn't look like you is "out to get you", and there are plenty that DO look like you that actually ARE out to get you. So... disliking someone based solely on the color of their skin is, in fact, one of the best things you can do to show the world just how ignorant you really are.
