I received an e-mail some weeks ago in responce to my positing of some horrible and hatred-filled Racist Opinionated Signs - Expressions against Black people as I saw it ( THEY WERE CLEARLY EXAMPLES OF THAT!) When a good guy + distant relative, responded that since the photos were in Black and White and not in Technique-color - They were out of date and implied that basically RACISM was like-wise - No longer in existence! What was I trying to say! Well, I being a frustrated and a committed and card carrying "BIG MOUTH", I could'nt and didn't end it there…. however! For Mother Day, I was trolling the internet for something that was relevant and humorous, and came upon a cartoon of apparently a son ( me ) offering Mother Day Wishes to his Mom but getting flack in return - You know MOM-STUFF! "Did'ya…, Couldya…You should'da…" Well the gentleman, who had the "in-sight to dismiss present-day RACISM" was able to note that the cartoonist of the Mother in my posting had a noticable SNAZOLLA! And then raised the question if the Mom was "A GOLDBERG"? Don't react to quickly - No need to get a rope or look for a tall tree, but it is interesting that we have a deep seated, unconscienceable stereotypical views of others which we learned somewhere, so deeply ingrained in (all?) us and/or by this culture or our friens or family (me too), that we, all of us, unthinkingly say or think or belch discretiable things and don't even consider or recognize that they are UGLY or we are saying it! Yeah, I know some of my best friends are……. How do we get rid of, I was going to say "BLEACH-OUT" but is that RACIST? OK, Lets go POSITIVE and HONEST! I hold opinions that are NARROWER than they should BE or that I want others to KNOW THAT I HAVE but they are there - H E L P - Any Suggestion - NO! Not any of that - SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE…..!
