Racism is always a very touchy subject and for good reasons. I titled this post “Racism is Still Alive” because it is, just not the way that it was 20, 30, 40 years ago. I think however, that racism is dying and that for the most part everyone wants to love one another. The problem is, racism gives many people something to blame all of lifes problems on. If it is easy to blame racism for your problems, why let it die? The point I am trying to make is that racism is still alive mainly because minorities keep it alive.

Now get pissed off if you want, but I have seen it first hand. Look at most the black comedians. All of their jokes some how come back to them being held back by the white man. Another example, I was in a bar a few nights ago and there was a boxing match on TV. I wasn’t sure who the boxers were, but it was a black man and a white man. I asked the man sitting next to me who was fighting and he said, “I didn’t know, but fuck the white man. White boy is getting his ass beat tonight.” I was furious. I had not antagonized this man in anyway, but he wants to spout off ignorant racists remarks like that, knowing I would be heald responsible for any altercation that occurred due to his remarks, and knowing that I would be considered the racist if I tried to stand up for myself. There are many many more examples of how minorities are keeping racism alive, all you have to do is look. Racism needs to end and it is going to take everyone to defeat it, not just the “White Man”. And don’t get me started on Sexism…
