But to the point I do not believe people dislike other people because of their color but because of their actions.
For example I am an American of Italian descent and I am incensed by the actions of those Italians that portray themselves as Guidos. Seriously! That sterotype did not exist in my neighborhood. Bon jovi made that same statement saying that it did not represent his New Jersey neighborhood . So too with black Hispanic and Asian cultures. So I believe people are mainly turned off by how these people act. Essentially its the arrogance and ignorant nature od these people
I would vote Thomas Sowell president in a New York second but Jesses Jackson never in my entire lifetime
Jessee Jackson once said that if he saw black men approaching him he would be afraid. Now we sadly finding him campaigning for justice in behalf of Trayvon Matin. It would seem according to people like him that we have not advanced on this issue since the 1960's Perhaps Jackson and Sharpton should stick their heads out of their shells and note the number of black leaders in government, military corporations and oh yea the White House.
IMHO Trayvon Martin provide an opportunity for people like Sharpton to kick up a fuss because what really is behind all of this was the Supreme courts decision recently on the Voting Rights Act, They know its time to level the play field once again but they still want it tilted in their favor.
The kicker is that their actions are opening up old wounds and that is not good for America.
I opine you decide

I am really listening to you Rubicon.
It doesn't make a nickels worth of difference to me Rubicon what color anyone is but behavior sure makes me judgmental.
I think everyone needs to behave. Sit down. Think. Get up. Work. Take care of yourself, your family. I wish we had a huge disease that made us all bright green. Then we could just have our opinions on poor behavior or good behavior.
And we are allowed opinions. It is where someone's fist ends and anothers face begins that we lose our right to respect.
