To be a minority

Even though I left chicago when 9, I miss not being around different ethnicities. I was a white kid in a run down area of black and latino people. At the time I thought nothing of it. Now, in Norwich, England, it STILL seems strange how the city is so full of white people mainly.

Thanx to my upbringing, I guess I understand how its like being a minority, which I feel is a real plus. I by no way understnad how it feels to be a minority race of people day by day though. But I liked those people. And I miss them here in england.

Certainly u americans dont realize how lucky u got it. Plus most of england have many ethic groups in large numbers. My city, Norwich, does not.

Being a white kid playing baseball or whatever we use to play with mainly latino's was great fun. They did not discriminate (kids never do), but neither did the grownups really.

If kids are taught math in schools, I hope less and less of them are taught hate at home.

That's what I always thought, but my math teacher could've been a Nazi.

Hush up. If this is about my thread yesterday, it got locked anyway (? I guess someone found it too offensive which is fair enough).....but it was a joke. A lame one at that. But, that joke was hardly tasteless in the grand scheme of things.

I dont know if anyone found it even a bit funny, in an irrelevant kinda way. If iam a nazi then so was that kid that some twats on here shit on after he posted a pic of someone he admired (Hitler). I hope u were not one of those twats? mad

*hides knives*

I'm not here enough anymore to even know what the hell you're talking about.

Admiring Hitler could be worse, like voting for Bush I guess.

I'd suggest lightening the fuck up before you jump on someone posting a random joke.

Life goes on.

biggrin

omfg YOU ARE WHITE!!!!!
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?

I can't believe this many people thought thesexofit was black, given his rather suspect taste in music overall... wink Then again, in an environment as sensitive as the org, this is a joke that is pretty much inviting a distasteful side discussion...

BTW -- kids certainly do discriminate. It depends upon how early they are indoctrinated into the cycle of hate. I am black, and I certainly experienced various levels of discrimination as a child from other children.

Good point sad mad cool

My avvie? ha, I should change it I guess. And my profile too. My glenn medeiros pic never did show up. I posted that on my first day here. Its still a red x.
I got the hammer pic after a few months on here I think? But by thenI was already weird on here. But hammer added to that. People would ask "is that mc hammer? Why?".....ha, its all good.
