I was in one of the equity and diversity class which i had to take... and the teacher showed me a video which really shows you how racism really comes about.. watch this video and you'll know what i'm talking about... its in youtube.. so you have to keep clicking next title...to get the complete video... it is Jane Elliots "Eye of the storm" its a video of a class exercise that was taken after the death of Martin Luther King..

This should be a required experience for everyone everywhere. How can anyone really understand racism, until they've experienced it first hand? How can anyone really dare to say someone else is better, or worse, than themselves without experiencing what the other person has experienced?
Very, very thought provoking. And devastatingly accurate. It's a terrible thing to experience, to have to live through. Every bigot should have to go through a class like this. It might not change them, but it sure would be satisfying for their victims!!
