Tantalize I would have to say in general it's better. There are a few
ignorant ones out there still.

though....

sad....

when you say "here."

Do you mean on JSH? Or in the U.S LOL

Where is she from?~clicks on profile~

in Michigan.

Well that's not good.

Just don't let the hatred and ignorance sink into your lively
personality.

God bless :)

im to old for anything to sink in bored

Well my pops always said the younger generations grow up in more
diversity and are used to different races. Especially urban areas.

So I guess it will keep getting better unless the parents poison their
children with prejudice.

Tulip your just a kid.
Got tools older than you.

BC, I agree to an extent, that there definitely is more diversity and
that that contributes to better understanding and acceptance.

But I grew up as a child of the '60s and I lived in a Los Angeles suburb
that was racially mixed, predominantly with a combination of Caucasians
and Hispanics. Unless I went to Los Angeles for a doctor's appointment
or to the zoo or whatever, in my town (Glendale) it was a very rare
thing to see a Black person.

I laugh when I think back now at how, when I visited the beach, I used
to think all the black people there were visiting from Africa!

But anyway...it wasn't until 1970 when we moved to Nashville that I
heard the "N" word. Not until that time did I ever hear any derogatory
remark like that about a person. I could tell by the way people were
saying it that it wasn't a "good" thing, so I asked them what a "n" was.

They said a "black person."

I was really confused. I said why would you call a person names just
because of the color of their skin?

I was only 12 years old. Now, I'm almost 49, and I STILL don't "get it."

I have always been amazed by how much ignorance the human mind can
actually hold.

heya Roy how are you

Me, too, RT. Me, too.

Some people just want to stay ignorant I think..If they reallay wanted
to learn and be educated...There is certainly enough info around for
them to educate themselves with!!!!!!!

I love you Jean! Thankyou for sharing your experience :)

Why, thanks, girlfiend! I love you too!
