I couldn't care less about the color of someone's skin. I much prefer to get to know the person. If I were like this person, and judged everyone by my own preconceived notions, I would not have gotten to know so many great people over the years. Your own assumptions rob you of your ability to truly get to know someone for the person they are. You know, all that inconvenient stuff that lies below the skin pigmentation.

You cannot presume to know who someone is by the color of their skin. To presume that you can define someone as a human being by this alone makes you ignorant. People are so much more than their skin color. For example, the presumptions made by this poor ignorant person in the video simply don't apply to me. Yes I am indeed white, I am also male, anything above that you do not know unless you get to know me. Narrow minded people are dangerous.

Very well said, SFC Christopher Perry! We are told not to stereotype by the same asshats who stereotype anyone not like them.

Cpl (Join to see) - Thank you, I guess it matters when it is convenient, to curry favor with black and white liberals, who in the end could care less about any man let alone blacks.

Ignorance is like the plague! A variety of opinions and agreeing to disagree is what makes us as individuals so unique. We don't want or need a "Stepford Wife Society". So wish we could all be colored blind. Stereo typing is one of the major symptoms that is dividing us. I don't care who you pray to, vote for, sleep with, or who you identify as male, female, trans etc. Truly wish we can 'simply' accept each others differences respectfully. Understand my naive wishes may be delusional.
