I wish everyone was as open as you all. I usually don't let it get to me, I have pretty thick skin, I was just tired yesterday and a bit cranky to begin with! And as to IA James, are you a jarhead? Cause you know marines fall under the department of the navy, right? hahah!

I did not know that Native Americans are "advanced".
Now I know! You think it's tough being a Native Americain? Try being a green lizard!

I see no reason
to treat anyone different because of color of skin, or stereotyping, That to me is something that should not be tolerated anywhere. Lemme ask u guys somethin
If u cut a darker skin human, and a white human, what color will they both bleed?
no reason to treat anyone differently unless they have given u a reason to treat them differently, I was always taught, treat people the way u want to be treated.. its something that i still live by...

I have been chased, beaten, robbed, stabbed, hit by a car and drug for 2 1/2 blocks, called cracker, whitie, white ("N" word) honkey, (notice how we can't say the "N" word, but we can say honkey?) white trash, ect. Do I hold a grudge against their race? No, I just keep one eye on what is going on around me and who is around me.

As a Native American, i have run into the " Hey Tonto " B.S. a few times...
half the folks call me white( which is insulting in a way) and a few always seem to think that being indian means I am slow, stupid or "not as advanced".......
Having travelled a great deal and lived in 18 of the 48, I can just tell ya that there are ignorant people everywhere, and there are good people everywhere.....hopefully in teh long run they balance out.......

See that proves my point. We all "pre-judge" people cause of their nationality, race, type of truck they drive, which state they live in, how much money they got, whatever.
It's when you discriminate against those people that will get you in trouble. Pre-judging is perfectly legal, and smart!

I get edit every once in a while, too. I'm Mexican and dress simply - blue jeans (Levi's, not Stranglers - my junk needs breathing room
) and T-shirts, usually with cars, truck, motorcycle, etc. on them, canvas Vans shoes, chain wallet, buzzed head and I usually need to shave. So I get looked down on every once in a while, usually by sales people (they think I'm broke) but I don't care. Half the time I don't even notice until my wife starts going off on them!The street I live on is cool, it's like a mini United Nations. There are Mexican, Chinese, Phillapino, Indian, African American, African, and even some white people
! The block parties are awesome - all kinds of different food! And when you're fat like me that's a big deal!
