Racist people disgust me. The're almost as bad as homosexuals.
Are you new? Although his posts make me laugh[a "really?" laugh, not a ha-ha laugh] he's not joking. You should check out some of the threads he's made.
On the other hand, you shouldn't check out some of the threads he's made.
ETA Any way, good song. Avenue Q - the "dirty puppet" Broadway Show. I think the song is true. "Everyone's a bit racist sometimes." And then the song goes on to explain that it's not meant as an offense because it's just how you grew up and who your childhood thoughts come from and how they turn into adult thoughts.
Sad, but totally true. You could argue that it's the basic fear of different-ness that humans have, not racism, you know - we're afraid of what's different because we can't understand it. That's installed in everyone, and because it's a lifetime thing - Fight or Flight - it's just how first reactions are, even after people have grown and understood differences of color/race/gender.

Maybe I'm a little bit racist. I live in a very white part of Britain but mostly its just that I tense up around black people because I don't want to say anything offensive. I do get nervous when talking to anyone I don't know very well but it seems a bit more so with black people.
You should go to South London for a day and record it.
