I don't even know the person or the full background of the conversation and I'm judging that person. When Bush Jr was "elected" one of the British tabloids had a cover photo of W with the caption (similar to) "How Can 24,000,000 Be So Stupid!?". I maintain there are far more that 24M stupid people in this country (and evidently, the bulk live in Colorado, Texas and Florida).

Right ... "no more racism" simply means to them that... there may still be underlying racist systems in place, but who cares about that, right?

-_-

Yeah, this class is trying my patience already. lol

Yeah, I'm judging...

I'm just trying to keep in mind... I'm in the middle of nowhere. Maybe people aren't here just aren't as... educated?

LOL wow.

awesome word-age, Natalie

:P Yeah, I'm assuming they definitely don't have exposure to non-Caucasian interactions or people, much...
