Well I am not going to get into a war of words here defending myself as a white guy in response to Ramon's comments. I just disagree with what he says about whites because it seems as though we are all grouped together in one bunch as if we are mindless robots and because we are white we have some pervasive hatred or some kind of sentiment at all towards minorities. How about if we get right down to it and realize that each person is an individual, and racism or any feelings of hatred or love or acceptance for people of other races starts with that individual. Each person (white black hispanic whatever) makes a choice: do I have these hateful feelings or don't I. I feel the way I do because I am me, not because I am white. When I say that it sounds like I am saying I dislike minorities, which, if any of you who know me would know, that's not the case at all. My whole point is, don't group people together based on skin color, we are all individuals.
