I do have a thing for tall, strong, blonde white women. I think a lot of this thing of people generally sticking to their own race for marriage partners, and having friends with a lot of similarities, has to do with promoting or propagating the genes of another person whose genetics is similar to one's own, as well as one's own genes.

When I was in high school I attended an academic competition between schools. The other schools in our area put up reasonably difficult competition. However, I saw some of the teams from Detroit competing against each other and I was appalled at how poorly they were performing. These students happened to be black, and since then it has crossed my mind that they might have been underperforming deliberately as a way to fit in with each other, or possibly to "stick it to the man" but in fact they were really sticking it to themselves. I'm glad Obama said that students need to pay attention to their teachers and do better in school. This is something that needed to be said, and maybe the message wouldn't seem as credible for the black students if a white man had said it.

As far as "ret*d" or disabled people: I feel awkward not knowing how to treat them or what they might expect of me, even though I have been called "ret*d" and there are a lot of disabled people where I exercise. I might just see them as normal people if I got to know them better, but I have enough trouble even relating to "normal" people. It has taken me a lot of time to adjust to physical changes that have happened to people in my own family, but in time I did.

im not a racist.

I've been put into situations that made me ask myself if I'm becoming rasist or pregidous. I Dont believe that I am but sometimes at first glance I tend to generalize, and it makes me a little sad because I can see how ignorant people become very racist.
I was in a treatment center and we got colored people from both Detroit and Ann Arbor. Pretty much everyone from Ann Arbor was top notch in all regards. Most of the black people from Detroit were so violent and criminal that it left a strong impression on me and now whenever I meet a person of color I'm pretty leery of them for a while. Its not really a race thing its more of a regional thing I know.
As far as pregidous against the mentally disabled, well the place I work for has a couple pretty darn slow employees and I seem to always get stuck with them on my line. Now I love them to death because there really sweet but when the boss is always screaming at me about production or bad parts getting passed to the coustomer and one of these folks keeps asking me really stupid questions, it gets me pretty mad and when I'm talking with someone about my day at work I use the word ret*d a lot.
I hate myself for these fits of judgment because as far as the friends that I've ever had in my life or people that have expressed any caring for me or willingness to be non judgemental, these are my peeps.

When I think about ret*d people, I always think the word "windowlickers", like they're kept inside of institutions and they lick the glass because they long for the freedom outside!
