Black, White,Asian, or Indian-who really cares? So what If you're "white" and you act "black". Not all of one ethnic group wants to act the same, dress the same, or listen to the same music. Not every religion or lack there of wants to either. If I like something, and I want to act like that I will. Get used to it. I will never fit a stereotype because I can always pull up a contradictory. The other day I was called a 'preppy' but preppies' are defined as very traditional in dress and actions so I don't think a 'preppy' would listen to Poison The Well or Thursday. So a kid told me that didn't make me a 'punk' and I'm not because a 'punk' wouldn't listen to Dave Matthews Band or John Mayer. Just because I dont' have any gay friends but that doesn't mean I hate gays. My brother wore a "Homophobes Suck" shirt the other day to school. If someone chooses to live their life differently than me I won't hate them for it. Diversity is what makes this world so beautiful and not excepting people is what make it so ugly at the same time. Kurt Cobain once said, "If you are a racist, sexist or homophiboc, don't buy my cd's because you may love me but I hate you." When you have prejudice you become a dangerous monster because it is likely to spread to more hate and that's how Adolf Hitler got started. I'm Christian, a mutt of races, a mix of cultures, straight, I dress how I want to dress, I listen to music I like, and most importantly will never fit a mold . I won't hate you if you do fit a mold and I won't hate you if you're predjudice. I will only pitty the predjudice. We as humans have this character trait called compasion that we should use along with our eyes. I know I do.

Chik, thanks for that post. It was very refreshing. You sound like a very individualistic person. And you're not afraid to be upfront with your views. I like that. I wonder what the reaction would be if I wore sometin' like dis: quote: My brother wore a "***** Suck - Repent or Burn" shirt the other day to school. If
