Racism

I find it incredible in this day and age how many people are still racist or think in racial stereotypes. Yes, many stereotypes stem from certain truths, but the action of many individuals of one race does not condemn an entire race to years of racial profiling. The ignorance of people in America today shocks me and how so many can be so uneducated.

How is it that one can hate someone else because of a difference in the color of skin? The beauty of this country, this state, is that we live in a society with such diversity and the oppurtunity to experience new cultures and ways of life. The diversity of cultures in this country make us who we are, they don't make any race better than any other. I hope the intollerant can learn tollerance and love thy fellow countrymen regardless of skin color and that one day we can live in lesser hostile country.
