as far as I can see - it's not a COLOUR thing you're all concerned about - it's a CULTURE thing - ie - diff CULTURES (whatever COLOUR they are) are raised differently.

I don't profess to understand the severity of the colour clash in the USA - it's a CULTURE clash to even us here in the UK i think , but obviously your history has some relevence to SOME that I don't understand right now

I have GREEN eyes - does that make ME less attractive to people than someone with BLUE eyes - or is ALL just man - made CRAP (to put it bluntly ???? WHO dictates WHO should feel / be made to feel inferior to WHO ???

I KNOW I am preaching to the converted here - and sorry, - just makes me SOOOOOOOO angry - that someone who has the heart and compassion of vesuvius (ie MY ADRIAN) - could be made to feel inferior to his PALER neighbour (who abuses women) JUST because NATURE gave him the skin colouring to cope with the HEAT in his orignal native country - DO you not BELIEVE DARWIN ???

i have ONE word to sum up racism and that word is ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
