ok.. im sorry, misunderstood.
Take Ludacris and Sandra Bullocks characters.. the stuff that he says goes through a lot of African American minds and the stuff that she did in the presence of an African American happens all of the time. That movie didn't show extremities, it showed actual everyday life made to look like racism at its worse, when in reality that was nothing compared to what really happens in the US..lol
Racism is so prominent in America.. that its just expected.
Im African American and im not racist at all, but when i go online on my xbl..lol i just expect for a white guy to call me a ******... because its just the way it is, i expect that when walking past a white female.. she makes sure her purse is on the side of her opposite me.. its sad... but thats life.
But i dont get angry about it because i can see it from both sides.. maybe she did get robbed by a minority sometime in her life.. or saw someone else get robbed by one.. or saw it on the news. Cant fault her for being "cautious"..lol
its a vicious cycle and i think it will stay prominent in the US till the end because its kind of tolerated.
