Hotlegs said: GaryMF said: My whole point is that these labels are kinda dumb to begin with because as someone just said, American society tries to force an oversimplified label on you to make it easier for them (i.e. the person doing the labelign) to understand, regardless of what someone's actual background is.   It really kills me how some of you so called liberals(who supposedly don't have a racist bone in their body) have simplistic view of the world as if labels don't exist in the world and only in America. Open your eyes, racism still exist around the world, if you don't believe ask entertainers such as Lenny Kravitz or Halle Berry.
I really think that you need to broaden your minds do more research . Once you do this, you will find that labels ( racial clasification) still exist in places such as Brazil, India, Cuba, and South Africa (even after the end of Apartheid). [Edited 10/18/04 23:43pm] WHoaaa. I never said they don't exist. Of course people try label and classify all over the world. That doesnt' mean it's a good thing to do! And historically, America has been particularly "hung up" on the "black" or "white" issue. which is kinda how this threat got so heated.  |

Again, you need to study the histories others coutries that I have mentioned in my previous post. You will find that it is not only the US that can't see past Black and White. | |
