In school we had to talk about the main factors of youth violence and you know what we came up with? Race, drugs, and gangs! Race is the biggest issue that provokes youth violence and even though people say they're not racists, are truely lying to themselves because everyone discriminates one another whether it's by skin color, heritage, or just plain out looks and personalities. Why on earth would you discriminate someone that is different than you? Just because someone doesn't look like you or talk like you do doesn't give you the right to assume that they are flawed, it just means that they have the privaliage of being unique. Don't discriminate because of race, discriminate against lack of praise for being different.

Josh dude you are discriminating the people who discriminate!

Many people don't realize that they partake in different forms of discrimination.
