I'm not prejudice at all. I hate everybody equally the same.
Seriously, I grew up in a somewhat racist family. Some members of my extended family, were extremely racist.
It's very true that hate is not inherited, it's taught. I was probably on my way to being racist when I was young. The school I went to was mixed white/black about 60/40. I had friends that were black. When I was in second grade I realized that blacks are people, the same as whites. I decided then that there was no way to treat them any different. From that time, I had never judged anybody by the color of their skin.
When I was 19, I went to a technical school that was like a college. We had to live in the dorms and were not allowed to leave the campus. The school was about 96% black, 2% white, 2% other. I learned a lot about the other side of racism there.
I'm sure that you've notice that I was the word black instead of African American. I never use the AA word.
If you want to talk about evil done to a people you should research how the US government tried to ethnically cleanse the Indians. Now that was wrong.
I also want to add that these emotional topics can get very heated. I can see this one getting out of control. If it even starts to turn ugly, the mods will shut it down immediately.
