Racism

* If racism offends you or you are unable to be objective, pls do not continue reading.

I was just watching a lifetime movie about a native American girl who was labelled a witch in a town in Oklahoma just because she was different. The topic of racism always seems to make me very angry.I live in a town in the mid west which is about 50% black and 50% white, however the things that I see and observe here, I've really never seen in other places that I've lived. There are three major resturants (aside from the fast food joints and other little food places) that people visit if they do not want to travel out of town for food. These resturants have no African American servers or waitresses or no men servers. When I first noticed this, I thought i was paranoid but then realized that a few other people noticed also. Now, honestly why should i patronise these resturants if they do not appreciate my kind? Secondly the food is tastleless, so i'll rather drive 30 milesto get good food.

To make matters worse, a friend was telling my husband and I, how another co worker of theirs was like he could not stand black folks and that he'll rather vote for a white republican than a black democrat even though he's democrat. What gives anybody the right to hate someone just because of the color of their skin?. Not because of your attitude or your way of life but because of the color of your skin. What gives people the right to complain about other nationals coming into the country legallly because they are different from us or what we are used to?If you believe in God, then you need to believe that He made us all: black, white, yellow, brown and no race is better than the other race. Why are churches segregated on sunday mornings? Black folks attending one church, white folks attending another, Hispanics or latinos another etc. Why?
Why can we not take people for who they are and get to know them before we form an opinion about them,
So that my post does not seem one sided, i just want to add that there are people of all colors who are racist and opinionated about people of other colors.
In conclusion, a diverse society is a successful society, America belongs to all of us and not one race of people.
