Reply #111: Nothing to do with WV for me

[Goodnevil]

I live in Arkansas and I'm a racist. I think that we are all, and I know that's a contraversial statement. In some ways, I think that racism and other isms lie dormant in all of us until we feel threatened or backed into a corner. When our jobs are threatened, our candidate loses, our way of life changes - blame someone!

It's what we do that defines us. I choose to not let racism cloud my judgment of people and I choose to look at the person and not the color of their skin. (Sounds like a public service announcement)

When we bring racism into a debate or American election like this, we demean ourselves and our country and show by our actions that we are ready to let those demons take us over.

Enough preaching to the choir.

It's the fact that we're even having this whole discussion about race in this primary or GE that disturbs the heck out of me.
