Is this biased reporting?

No... I aint talking about that...

I AM NOT WHITE.

So the minority thing that Occhi said really struck a nerve with me. He put in to words what I have been feeling for all these years.

I am talking about actual life as it effects me being a minority. Like... Walking in to a place to get something to eat and being refused service. Or having to ride on the back of the bus when I was a kid. Having to use a different toilet or a water fountian. Or go in to a place using a different door. All because of majority rule being a kind of tyranny. For a long time I hated the idea of democracy because I thought it was another word for Whites Ony.

I have since changed my views.

That would exist in any system - we still deal with an institutionalized racism in this country. Our society has continued to evolve through enlightenment era ideas and, I think, will continue to do so. Racism in one form or another will still persist, but not like it existed 30 years ago.
