Since I was a child, my parents have made tons of negative comments pertaining to race, especially when it comes to blacks and whites, both of which are what I am. Has this most likely influenced my views on race? Am I screwed forever?

But I think it's possible to set aside your biases and be a generally open-minded person. Just because you're racially biased doesn't mean you're racist, unless you make it so.

I come from the South, so everyone here are ignorant fucks. I'm from the south, too. I've always thought Lousiana would be more accepting though. Maybe I'm just a huge Georgia hater,   Buuuut yeah, Why do they make negative comments, Of what sort? Well, my mom is mixed, and my dad is black, so it's really ass backwards. They'll say things like "Don't go to bad neighborhoods because black men on bikes will rob you" or "Yeah, it was a bunch of weird ass white people" both of which they refer to as "your people", your as in me. melodramatic Posted at 9:39 pm on July 7, 2009 Quote: from Yo Soy Hales at 9:37 pm on July 7, 2009 Quote: from melodramatic at 9:35 pm on July 7, 2009 This has probably why you feel this way, because of your parents.

I'm not talking racist either, but to be utterly unbiased is another story. I don't think you're screwed, it wont affect your life or anything.
