We bring this upon ourselves.

Concerning Joe Wilson’s remark.

From Hero or Villain: More Prisoners of Eternity.

New American president, old habits. Racial prejudice is still strong in many places today.

As our society gradually becomes more accepting of different types of people, we should also learn to accept people who have fetishes. I’m referring to people that pose no threat to society, but are classified as outcasts due to their actions being deemed as weird or abnormal.

Racial profiling is basically in depth stereotyping.

Unfortunately, the topic of interracial relationships is still taboo. The recognition of this taboo can be felt through stares, laughs, or downright harassment. I have experienced all of these, but we’re still going strong. For those of you in interracial relationships (and especially for those of you who are not), here are a few words of encouragement.

The widely publicized death of Yusef Hawkins, a young African American man killed by a group of whites in Bensonhurst, New York, in August 1989, created outrage across the country and severely aggravated racial tensions in New York City.

The Augusta (Georgia) Riot of 1970 began on the evening of May 11 and ended before dawn the next day. During the riot, six people were killed, all black men, each one shot in the back by police. In addition to those deaths, 80 people were injured, 200 were arrested, and 50 businesses in the city’s center, many owned by Augusta’s Chinese residents, were burned.

Protests against the undeclared war in Vietnam, which occurred from 1963-1975, first appeared in 1963, grew in magnitude as the war escalated, peaked in 1969, and began to wane after the Kent State University shootings on May 4, 1970, and the Jackson State University shootings on May 14, 1970.
