My wife and I had a good experience one evening. You might not find it as such at first when you hear it, but when you realize what we realized, you will have learned a good thing today.
"Prejudice, as a weapon to shield against fear, is not only painful to the people you perpetrate it on, but hazardous to your own health. Purge it from your body, from your life."
We had this idiot of a white chick come by our place one day. She comes in, and frankly it was a bit of my fault that I missed her call. But nevertheless she came in smiling, nice and everything seemed cool at first. Then my wife came into the room and said "hi" - but the stupid chick ignored her hello and with her entering the room right in front of her face. She then almost did the same thing (make that she did it then tried to correct it as the actual behavior). We were appalled and shocked at her raicst insidious arrogance which she no doubt doesn't know or care exists. This is the kind of person one hates. But it also breeds love between us, and makes me realize how much asian and black peole have in common. Unfortunately, but fortunately, it came at the barrel of a gun.
Mutual oppression breeds love between us. Take advantage of it.
