I read your post again...

Racism may not be every person's problem (Reposted to add in I ment "Racism may not be every person's problem on a daily or monthly basis..."), but to those who do not experience Racism personally (or often)comes the ability to be the race in the situation that may be the same as the person doing it or saying it. In that Racist person's mind (such as one white person to another, one black person to another, one Mexican/Latino person to another, one Oriental person to another and so on...), the person of the same race they are talking to is one of them.

In being considered one of them as in same race, it creats an ability for that person to make the Racist feel uncomfortable or put off even if a little. A hint or stern eye squint that says I don't like this and you better not do anything or say anything while I am around or I might tell what you said here or retaliate. It says this is not exceptable behavior or way of talking.

No matter who you are...class, race, sex, well known or not, and so on...if you are human you have experienced some type of discrimination in your life knowing or not knowing. It is up to each individual...every single human on the planet to let their dislike even if it is an eye squint in this type of thing.

In that, one person at a time...the social norm changes...and dreams become reality.
