You are quite right, RL, and to more accurately define my opinion the word
white should be taken out of my quote:  Racism/prejudice is learned and 
is really just an excuse for a person to blame others for their own failures 
or bad luck.

: < : : 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
