fighting skinheads would be bad because there are plenty of people out there who wear all black, have tattoos, and have little to no hair. i am one of them. so are most of the people i work with...we are called sailors. someone at the bar used the word "nigger" tonight and i told him to shut up, all because it was a word i completely disagree with using in pretty much any way. i don't care if the dictionary says to it is an ignorant person. i completely am against racism. i never used to care, but after being out of the neighbor(hood) and mixing with other folks of different racial background then me (and who didn't grow up with me), and being discriminated against because i am mostly white, did i have a problem with it. there is really no way to combat bigotry, you can say all you want about what a horrible thing it is, but there are alot of closed minded people out there who will be hateful towards another group of people that they don't belong to. it could be because of the way they were brought up, or spite, or just plain ignorance, but i just can't see it happening. by the way, i hate these race threads that pop up every month or so. i think there are millions and millions of races out there since every single person is different anyways. i don't have 2 cents to give jeff
