3. If it's not skin color it's religion

I'm not sure why humans are this way.
I'm white, grew up moving every 3 months or so all over America. Daddy was an IBEW electrician.
There were times I was the only white kid with Native Americans and Hispanics, other times all white due to segregated schools.
I learned no matter what color the skin is people are people.
I've worked in Washington DC with all black fantastic coworkers.
I quit a job at a large Washington DC Hospital after the first day. I saw a xray coworker expose an elderly black man to total body radiation instead of just his chest on purpose.
All I can say is human suck!
The old Star Trek show with a world divided in prejudiced because one half of the population was black-and-white and the other half of the population was white and black. They were trying to kill each other off makes about as much sense as what's going on today and this freaking country.
