The more race is thrown in my face the more and more I trend to becoming racist. I used to not judge a person by the color of their skin but on their actions and beliefs. But with this crap continuing to be thrown in my face, less benefit of the doubt I find myself giving others. I hate that.Intra-white loathing. Tucker hit the nail on the head with that one. Anyone hear Steve Kerr's BS comment? I almost threw the remote at my TV. I thought the color of anyone's skin wasn't supposed to matter any more. But apparently it does if you're white and there's plenty of morons of our own race that buy into that bullshit.
I have been pushed down that road myself. I have only ever had one issue with anyone of color. And he didn't like that I used the word boy. Not referencing him mind you. I just used it in phrases like "Boy I really like that" which equates to "Man that's cool" for a more current example. And before anyone posts about what that word means to black males, that's just the way I grew up speaking with everyone. That was 40 years ago and I don't think I have used 'boy' the same way since.The more race is thrown in my face the more and more I trend to becoming racist.
