Racism

Racism Yesterday i was taking the train home from an afternoon in the city.
A white guy stumbled clumsily on to the train if his entrance on to the train didn't show to you that he was drunk then the stubby he had in one hand and the bag of the remainder sure would have.
Then he preceded to sit down. He looked around and there was an Asian, a guy that was part Black and an Indian guy sitting in the same area of the train as him. As soon as the drunk guy seen who he was sitting next to he did one of the worst things i think a person could ever do.
he opened his mouth and demeaned each one of these men(black,Asian, and Indian)... My respect for these three men i never spoke to and never caught their names grew. They handled this man in the most reasonable way. If someone would have spoken to me in that way i would have told him off. Each man kept their cool. the Asian got off on the next stop the Indian got of 3 stops later. And the Black guy moved and sat next to me. The drunk guy got off the stop before me and the Black guy. I told the Black guy i was so sorry he was drunk and stupid and that race doesn't matter it's the person you are inside that counts not the colour of your skin, your religion, or ethnicity. The guy just smiled and said that's what he was told growing up. and that he would never judge people by a bad experience and that theres always a bad apple in a bunch.

I hate Racism i seen no point in it it shows that you have no respect for u or anyone else. And that you have a narrow mind.(step out of that little box and see that we are all different thats what makes the world go round.) I've met some of the most amazing and life changing people, and over half of them are of a different race,religion, or ethnicity if i let race take over my view on people i wouldn't have the opportunities i have open to me. These races cultures and ethnicity make our wonderful world go around.
It makes people who they are. and why should you be the one to judge them? well your not to judge them that's God's job(and by saying God i mean what ever God you chose to believe in that is if you chose to.)
I love the fact that everyones different it keeps things intresting if everyone was of the same colour religion how boring would our amazingly diviser would be?
It's a way for us to test our selfs would you be willing to help someone anyone (no matter the colour or difference) it's easy to say 'Yes' but its harder when put to the test.
When you where a little kid in pre-school you played with all the kids not just the white, black, green. so why do we start to see a differnce when we grow up.
