Post by: $tyli$h Executive on June 21, 2010, 04:08:22 pm: I'm not racist. But I don't think I've accomplished anything just because I'm not racist. So, the answer is no.

Post by: lilly on June 22, 2010, 10:36:58 am: ya there is racism and alot of it. I don't believe that we can ever live in a world without racism because its human nature but people know its wrong in the older days having a slave was considered acceptable now its not. Of course some people still find it an accomplishment but most people don't
