I certainly think that in most places in the USA racism has died down and is now going in all directions....white vs black...black vs white...brown vs white...etc etc etc...everyone is hating everyone a little.

I know that growing up in Canada i was not really exposed to open and outright racism. Some morons in high school liked to thump their chest, but in my small town we happened to have just 1 well known black family who just happened to be mostly fucking massive. The alpha of the family became the world arm wrestling champion for several years. Then more and more black folks started moving in. The racism kind of faded away, at least in my peer group.

Living in Korea, I can tell you that i am subjected to blatant racism and discrimination on a daily basis. Even today just 20 minutes ago i left a pizza shop in disgust. A fuckin pizza place that i had given a lot of business. When i went in alone the prices were jacked, and i was no longer able to get the combo i get usually, even if i walk in with my 6 yr old child. Since i was a waygookin alone, fuck you..no..the price is way more...dont like it..get the fuck out...lol

This is Korea btw...racism is alive and well around the world. I hope that the USA and Canada can stand for something in the years to come. I know in Canada in the major cities many people are multi racial now and most often when you see a couple out in the streets they are multi-racial. We will build the better race. Mixed kids are usually and i mean highly usually smarter faster better looking and stronger. Today my 4 year old was attacked at his taekwondo class by an older boy who is a black belt, my 4 yr old is a red belt. Classes are daily and 1.5 hours long..he is almost 2 years there now. He started in diapers..lol Anyway, this fucker thought he could beat on my second son, he got a bruised up face. My kids are mixed all of them are the tallest, and most physically fit(that is probably my doing as we mostly do physical activities on the weekend and nights), I 'm told the smartest(also my doing as i am a math major i have already taught my kids addition, subtraction, multiplication and soon division). you get the point im proud. Anyway my 4 yr old wailed on the face of the older boy so much so, that we got a visit from the taekwondo instructor..lol They want him to compete for the school now. He meat the shit out the older boy.

Racism...my oldest son is 6, he plays baseball on a rep team here, baseball is uber serious. He is only accepted on the team because he is mixed, he is much younger than everyone else and wont actually play, but he is getting trained at a high level. There are many many pro baseball players who started at this team. Anyway my point is. At his elementary school some older kid wanted to bully him. The story from my son goes as follows. Hey..waygooking(foreginer) i don't like you...you should go back to USA(we are Canadian but every foreigner is American). My son was about to defend himself when, two boys came to his side. One an older boy from his taekwando..and another a boy form his baseball team, apparently the boy from the baseball team is very scary and going forward there will be 0 problems at that school for my boy.

MY POINT? racism is passed on. When the parents are open minded, the kids will be open minded.

The USA is in the grips of an awakening. I really hope it can see itself through and evolve into something that the world can follow. Canadians are not ready to take the world stage as leaders, the USA is there bright lights shining. Everyone is watching.

Please be the change the world needs.

I forgive these korean fucks for being openly and aggressively racist against me. Dude im white. My black friends here have horror stories. I get turned away from bars, they get physically threatened sometimes when trying to enter a bar.

The USA is a bastion of open mindedness, if you are black and wondering what is wrong with the USA. Please help others and do your part. The change is happening. Come to Korea or other asian countries and see how you are treated. The USA is really an amazing place, please do not let the violence continue.

I drank at dinner, so whatever
