Views on Racism ...

IP:

Aight, ive been doin alot of thinking about how people view racism and why they have the views they do alot recently, and here's what i've come up with...

When some people think about our society or judicial system being "racist" and how our jails are filled with minorities, they think that we mean that police should actually see a black man robbing an old lady and let him go just because he's black and our jails are filled with blacks... but thats not the point at all, and we all agree that if you do the crime you have to do the time... but the problem is in the fact that minorities are in the position where as a whole they are living in the poor econimic situations, and therefore ARE the ones committing the crimes, and THATS the problem... and the problem is it seems theres no way for them to come up in our society... take the scene in Crash for example where the Hispanic dude is fixing the lock in that uppity white family's home, and the wife is like "Look at his gang tattoos, i dont want that "homie" to have a key to my house, i want them changed again in the morning"... so its like even if somebody who may have had a bad history TRIES to get a real job and move on like you tell them to, they just get pushed back down... its like theyre treated as like a whole different breed of people, or Americans, and they should just stay in their little role in our society of crime as long as they keep it to themselves and dont involve the wealthy whites... and THAT is how our society is racist.

oh, and dont come in here like "aren't you white???"
yes i'm white, but that isnt a synonym for ignorant...
