First let me say I am not a racist by choice. I do believe being a racist is a character flaw and is unpatriotic. That being said I do NOT feel there is anything wrong with being a racist. I think people have a right to feel and to be however they like as long as it doesn't involve violating the law or anyone's rights. Some people do not like their neighbors or even family in many cases, so how can we expect people to love other ethnic groups. I think it is all about Respect and Civility. We may never all love each other, but we can show Respect and Civility toward each other. Racism is not what caused Blacks or African Americans a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in America. That was the fault of criminals. People that violated the laws and our civil rights are unprosecuted criminals. If you are a racist that just doesn't want to be around or talk to other Ethnic groups, who cares that is your right! If you are a racist that violates people's civil rights or commits crimes against others, you are a criminal, being a racist is irrelevant.   more »
