re: Generational Racism

There's always gonna be the fringe that find reasons to hate other people for whatever reason: Jews, blacks, Muslims, etc, etc, etc.

I agree that racism is changing generationally. Having grown up in Bham, Al home of the Civil Rights struggle, I have seen it first hand. Both of my teenagers are very accepting of different peoples. It helps that their closest cousins are both from a mixed marriage (black father and white mother). How could a kid hate black people when their closest family members are black?

The gap I see the most is between social and economic differences. My son's best friend is black. His dad is a college professor and his mother is a nurse. They really pressure him to study and stay straight. A lot of the "keepin it real" black kids at high school give him shite because of his white friends, the way he talks, good grades, etc, etc. For them, he's not black enough.
