The Other Path : Get Serious : Racism

        Racism, its one of the leading causes of crime, it plagues many people of various Races, it can seriously damage some ones life, and causes a gap between
the people of the world. Think about how much violence would drop if there was no racism, think of how many wars would have been avoided if there were no slaves or concentration camps or any social status according to race. What if everyone was one color came from one land and everyone was the same, we would have no culture. We would have no Chinese food, no VW cars, no Toyotas, no taco bell (that means no chalupas), We would have no culture at all.
How sick does that make you?

        Racism can be caused through, hateful people who have no one to blame for there problems so they pick some people that look different from them and direct there hate toward them because they have no creative outlet, or they have had a bad experience with someone of a different race and decided that every person of that race is the same and they just didn't give anyone else another chance, man that's messed up too. It can also be caused by bad parenting and I have the perfect story that happens to be true and happened to someone I know very well.

      One day a young Caucasian boy who we will call Joe invited a friend over to
work on a Psychology project this friend happened to be African American we will
call him Tom. They worked on the project and got a lot of work done on the project.
Joe had to go to his fathers house that night because his parents were divorced.
Tom needed a ride home so Joe's dad gave him a ride home.  Tom was
very polite and talkative the whole ride home he said thanks for the ride when
they arrived at Toms house. The ride to Joe's dads house was quiet. When they got
there Joe said what did you think of Tom? The first thing that came from Joe's dad
was "he's black!", with that Joe's step mother came in and started to say "you shouldn't
invite niggers over your house anymore because they all are the same and don't want
to be your friend they all blame white people for everything,". Joe being such good
friends with Tom knew for a fact that this was not true at all but she continued with
"We all need to get along in this world but we don't need to hang out with a bunch
of niggers they stay with themselves and we stay with ourselves." This made Joe very
mad, he knew that Tom was a good person and he was nothing like that, and besides
Joe was raised to believe that Racism was wrong by his mother.

      If Joe had been raised in this household, he would have probably been as hateful
as his step mother which goes to show you just how bad of a parent you can be by
teaching your children to hate.
