Racism, Our friend or foe?

I agree with everything except the sexual orientations.. Human beings are just not meant to be gay.. But you are correct when you say different people educate us. Even these gay people might have something good they can contribute.. Because there is positive and negative parts to everything.. Unfortunatly even queerness.

from a marxist/economic point of view, gay people contribute more than the average straight couple. think about it, gay's generally do not/are not allowed/frowned upon adopting kids. So, they're "DINKS" (double-income no kids), without the gays our very economy would crumble

as for racism, i agree with that frick quote completely. The idea of knowing so little about the world by not accepting other races puts you "inside the box". Yes, the KKK have their own world views and according to the consitution of the united states of america, they can and will have their own morals and values. But, as soon as their hate goes beyond teaching, general conversation, and thought - and into the practice of hate. Then that is racism right there, which definetly is a gateway to many many forms of violence towards our neighbours... "what would jesus do?"
