i read about that, he also got sentenced to life in prison, thank god!! I have a post in my blog about racism...
http://teaspoondiner.thedt.net/blog that is mainly about christian/muslim recism though, but it can be applied to everything. racism is around because people are afriad of what is different to themselves, or different to what they normally experience. i am 100% unracist, i can't say ive NEVER madea racism comment or whatever, but now i definately be very careful with what i say. i have black friends, and black people are far more uncommon in australi (where i live anways) than in america.
People are often prejudiced against homosexuals, something i have 0 tolerance for, seeing as though i'm bisexual. i heard a good question once: why is it that people are more comfotable with seeing two men walking down the street holding guns than seeing two men walking down the street holding hands.
i asked this to my friend once, and he said it was because violence as been around for millenia, since the beginning of human civilisation, and homosexuality is something that has only recently been brought into the spotlight... hopefully one day people will accept it for a fact of life, homosexuals dont choose to be homosexual, it's just something that happens, research has shown that there is indeed something different in their braind chemically while they are developing in the womb, so it's not a choice, it's biological.
sorry about the long post
i think ima turn this into a blog entry
it's a good one
