I grew up being taught to judge people by who they are, not what color. Almost all my friends growing up were black or hispanic, etc. In this generation I think the racial aggression has greatly diminished. I acknowledge that there are some whites out there with racial tendancies but at this day and age is very seldom from what I see. It does strike me as ignorant however, when black people state they are ‘on the constant strive of not letting the ‘white man’ bring them down’. Perhaps, an example of this double standard is the fact that almost all black comedians have made jokes about white people and portray us as the goofy ‘Wally & Beaver, gee-willikers’ stereotype which is couldn’t be farther from the truth, now if a white comedian started making fun of a black man or woman they’d instantly be labeled a racist. I don’t have a racist bone in my body but, the white/black thing is getting old already.
