[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] One thing I'd like to see is a better integration of sound into the internet. That way you could hear the thunderous noise my eyes made while blinking in awestruck wonder at the following words. "I'm aware that it's there, but I'm also aware that it's dying. I've met more black people that are racist than white people. Heck, I've only met ONE racist white man (my grandfather, ironically)." I scarcely know where to begin. First of all we have the [i]extremely[/i] disturbing implication that whites are in fact the ultimate victims of racism these days. I would laugh if I weren't crying. Racism is dying? I've used that same argument before. But I think I see the difference between us. I think racism is dying because it no longer serves any evolutionary purpose. There's no need to preserve ourselves from the culture of the outsider because we're rapidly approaching a planet with just one culture. But we're talking hundreds of years for that to show up as any noticable effect. Racism is no longer an issue in today's society? Just this morning there was an article in the paper about a study regarding the widespread effects of racism in modern life. You seem to suggest that because minorities are racist too, that makes it ok. Allow me to express my feelings towards the validity of that viewpoint by chuckling loudly for several minutes. Regarding the rest, well...I take it you are opposed to the interstate highway system? A Federal project which makes people very reliant on the State. [/QB][/QUOTE]
