I think I figured out the problem with race relations...

In full Disclosure, I apologize in advance, as you are about to read the ramblings of a mad man. i.e. Me! I apologize in advance... I was listening to "Think" on NPR radio, as the issues of race relations nd racism were discussed. There was an African American mother and father explaining how they teach their kids how behave around authority figures like police officers and handle themselves in job interviews because a whit employer won't see them the same way they do white applicants. And in hearing how the kids have "white friend" they get along with, I came to a conclusion:"It's no wonder in 2016 ace rlations in certain sects of this God Forsaken nation, because people instill within their kids the same fear and paranioa they had when they were young. Instead of letting these kids interact with each other and come to their own conclusions." I've seen racial minorities and whites pull this crap. Little Taywan has to be sure to mindful and respectful around white folks so he can live a happy long life, and little Timmy has to be careful with what he says lest he offend black folks. Being respectful to authority figures and employers is one thing, but this being fearful around those on your level is inexcusable. Younger generations like mine and the ones to follow should be allowed to shape our own future and how we intract with our fellow man rather than be shackled down by the ignorance of the past. But again, I'm not stupid, I get that this is how that portion of society was raised to keep this old and tired monotenous cycle going... At the very least should I have kids, I'll show them what society refuses to offer the rest of us. But if that happens they'll end up as lonely and crazy as me... Which might not be a good thing.
