I was browsing through some photos on flickr, and I found this:
http://flickr.com/photos/borough…it makes me sad, because things like this, are a reminder that people like this are still around.
is messed up, that's all.

its really a shame thats theres still people like that.. such an asshole!
- TheBlueOne0
um..I don't see anything...

It is sad, of course, but it's also encouraging, if you think about it. Base sentiment such as this is far less the rule than the exception these days. Things have improved more than I can adequately describe since I was a kid. I don't mean to imply tht we become complacent – eternal vigilance is the duty of all fair-minded people – but it's important to recognize how much progress we've made as a nation and a people toward goodness, equality, and harmony. I personally fear that identity politics and multiculturalism will negate, or at least dilute this progress. Unity and pluralism are far better goals in my opinion.

What an embarrassment. Dude's from Mexico. Never ever met anybody from Mexico with this idiotic point of view. I mean c'mon! We get pissed at and insulted frequently mostly by American rednecks... and we know it sucks, and encourage and try to spread a mentality of openness regarding the race issue. Looks like the dude might be half Mexican/half Icelandic or something like that.
At least this seems to be a very isolated thing.

I'm racist. I hate the Human race and how it is eventually going to put itself down the drain. I can appreciate some aspects of the Human race too, like how we are resilient, the ability to band together and survive, etc.
+1 on dog_opus's first note, Latino's, Blacks and Tongans at my school are not the best of friends. I hope that mutual dislike doesn't evolve into something worse later on in life.

Racism occurs in all races. It's universal.
-do_opusYou are correct.
I actually remember seeing (back in highschool) this group of pseudo "skin heads" (this was back in Argentina if you can believe that), and all of them, each and every one of them had indigenous looks/ heritage.- so my guess is that they were beating each other up?Meeklo
- and some sort of tele-portal transported them to another dimension..Meeklo
- skinheads? in Argentina? seriously?omgitsacamera
- I know, it makes NO SENSE.
that is why there had to be some sort of portal...Meeklo - I bet you its like Half-Life and that portal was a product of a black project gone wrong.omgitsacamera

All it is a silly stupid comment. I was bumb-rushed as a teen at least 4 times by a bunch of black mutha-f#$%^ers just because I was white. I also had a couple of friends shot and or stabbed because they were white, when they were murdered, I did not hear them or their families complaining nor did they call Al Sharpton for a new conference and a demonstration for justice!
Racism is an equal opportunity employer, period!

"Racism occurs in all races. It's universal"
Absolutely. Though there's more racism from white people towards other races. (in this case it was some idiotic Mexican with white heritage). I see that a lot of the "hate" coming from other races tends to be a bit connected with insecurity, oppression, being called an inferior race, frustration, etc...
- I live in Philly, there is more black racism then white racism here, just walk through their hood!utopian1
- If your're lucky they will shoot you in the headutopian1
- eh... worldwide. Not just isolated towns.VectorMasked
- it all ends up as "racism" anyways. It's bad either way.VectorMasked
- But white racism = we are better and superiror. Other = we hate you for looking down on us for so long. There can be a dif.VectorMasked

Well obviously white racism is viewed as worse because of the history. I mean, FFS, slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow, etc. Just 50 years ago blacks couldn't go to the same schools or even drink at the same water fountains. Hence we tend to tolerate white racism less even though it is all obviously bad.

my high school was integrated in 1981. Virginia. Seriously. Only because the black highschool fell into such dis-repair.
