I call a spade a spade, and Herring is a racist. I really should just put him in my bozo bin and be done with him. Truth be told everyone is a racist at one level or another. I believe it is a survival instinct left over from our cave dwelling days, sort of a built in fear/distrust of anyone different. It's not just a "white" thing either. |

Truth be told everyone is a racist at one level or another. Bull****. I think what he said is basically right. I think it's very difficult to overcome all prejudice for all people. I don't think it's possible. It doesn't just have to be about skin color... |

If you want to broaden what Wayne posited to include all sorts of prejudice, then, sure. Ok... well, I see your point. I wasn't being so nuanced with the term racism, although I think he still could be right. It's very tough to avoid racism. One must be vigilant. |

Truth be told everyone is a racist at one level or another. Bull****. It was a wise statement. Everyone develops racism one way or another. It varies in degree but does exist. Depends if the rational part of the brain is in control or the irrational part. Racism and irrationality usually go together. -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing. |
