What would happen if I woke up, looked in the mirror and saw a black man. Not much would happen. I would be a little freaked out at first. Shit that's weird. Then, finding nothing wrong with me, continue my life pretty much as always. These people are so racist, acting like your skin color defines your whole character, is your only source of personality. So stupid.

Our genetics affect us though, we're slaves to it. I feel reminded of this often. But yeah I mean, just cause someone is black doesn't mean they're a horrible subhuman, my old college roomie is an awesome upstanding dude. Black father, and he's still married to and in love with his high school sweetie, and they have a bunch of adorable kids. I never even saw that man look at another woman.

Nature vs nurture is an argument as old as the human race. In my personal experience, cultural differences aside, I've found people generally have a lot more in common than not.
