I would be interested in hearing some of your stories of that time if you are ever of a mind to share with us. I realize that this may not be something of which you wish to speak...but if you ever do, I would be quite interested.

Oh, I do it because I like doing it. It isn't from a sense of superiority, I assure you, but I guess if enough people read calm, rational condemnations of racist opinions, it might just stir them to look into their own lives and hearts.
See, I'm old enough to have experienced at first hand the results of rabid Nazi racism, when they tried to blow me up in WW11. And when they succeeded with my eldest brother off Crete

Ditto Passion!!!
Racism is ugly period. It does not matter to whom or what race it is directed. Ariel, the person you are trying to speak to is simply angry at the world. My ex-husband was like that he blamed everyone else for his own troubles. He hated blacks because any who might have better than he must be drug dealers. Mind you we lived near a college town and most were business professionals who would not have picked a cigarette let along illicit drugs. He hated the Arabs because they owned party stores and ripped off hard working American's, he hated Jews because they were greedy assholes. Mind you by herity I AM Jewish, I don't practice the faith and my family immigrated from Germany before the Civil War, but I was among what he hated. But what was my ex? He had once been a drug dealer and a criminal in other ways as well. He was lazy and refused to improve himself in anyway and complained when the best he could do was sit on his butt and let his wife work 3 jobs. Damn! I was stupid!!!!!
What I can tell you from experience is you can't reason with this kind of anger and self pity. They like where they are it is best to simply keep your distance. It is not worth the irritation or the energy.

Glenn has been whining about supposed racial injustice for a while now-
And blaming just about everyone on the planet for his crappy life. I once told him that the reason nobody liked him had NOTHING to do with skin color. It was simply a matter of him NOT being a likable person.
