< : Racism/prejudice is learned and is really just an excuse for white people to blame others for their own failures or bad luck. < I generally stay away from most debates, but this line here I wanted to add my two cents to-- I think it could be said that Racism/prejudice is used as an excuse by many people, not just whites. I try to form my opinions about people based on who they are, not the color of their skin. And, unfortunately, there is such a thing as 'reverse discrimination'. I'm not excusing it in any form, just stating what I perceive to be a fact. All of the above is my humble opinion, and in no way meant as an attack on anyone or their opinion. :) RL
