it really is up to you to prove it.

I don't necessarily have a problem with racists. I've known alot of racists in my life, and frankly, my parents are rather racist. People are entitled to their own opinions, and it doesn't diminish me in any way for them to prefer their own race.

I know plenty of black folks who don't really want to have much to do with white folks. And, racism is nothing more than racial prejudice, it isn't necessarily believing one's race is superior, that's white supremacism (or the corresponding hue).

I think that Eup makes many valid points in which he points out areas in which racial supremacism is supported and/or condoned in our society as long as the people doing it aren't white.

For instance, in our area, an award is given every year in every school to the minority educator of the year. We were driving by the school the other day and my brown husband said, "HOw stupid is that? Can you imagine the uproar if they named the white educator of the year? Why can't they just name the teacher of the year and leave it at that?"

In a way, this is a form of minority supremacism, in which people of a particular hue are treated in ways that would not be allowed for a white person.

I'd like to see our country move past such stupidity.
