SOmeone needs to tell this idiot that it is 2006, not 1886

You have GOT to be kidding me.....I thought we were getting past all this! My gosh, I will never understand racism, not at all. And for it to have happened to those young kids.....

It just takes one idiot to start things all up again. I have no doubt this is true as we have many bigots and racists in our country who propogate these ideas and sadly, pass them on to their children.

I wonder how people justify these notions - as many are religious (or claim to be). As a christian, I am taught that God created "all humankind" in his likeness. I presume other religions teach the same. I see no mention of inferior or subhumans in my Bible - although we do see a preference to Jew over Gentile. If we are Christian, then we pay homage and revere Jesus as our Lord and savior. We have many paintings and icons to support that fact. Yet we paint Jesus as European, with brown (to blonde hair) and blue eyes. I am sure we did this as a means of allowing those in converting nations and lands an opportunity to better relate to him. BUT TO BE DEVOTE AND EDUCATED - it is easy accept that Jesus was most likely a dark, middle eastern man - more closely resembling Osama Bin Laden than Brad Pitt. And to those who share my faith, yet hate Jews... Jesus was a Jew!

It is all sooo crazy. We are but one people!!! Tell your children this often. Wish them the very best. I tell my daughters that I hope for them to have a loving, caring and devoted husband. If he is white, black, brown, red, yellow or polka dotted is secondary. If he loves you (truly) and is a good husband, father and caretaker - you will be lucky!!!
