Really I do respect people that are up front about how they feel, give me a person that just comes out and calls me a dirty Jew, or a black person a filthy Nigger, or a Latino a Spic or greaser, at least you know where they are coming from. There are no surprises with these people and I can respect that. I don't like them, but then again they don't like me either.
It's the people that are under cover that really scare me, you know the ones. I am sure most of us have one in our lives, the ones that use terms for getting a good deal on something as " I Jewed them down" or in a moment of anger at being cut off in traffic, will say "G-D damned Slopes can't drive for shit" If it is an Oriental driving.
Or a group of construction workers that are white seeing a beautiful black woman say "damn that is one fine Nigger" These are the ones that I fear because they do not believe they are racist at all, they have fooled themselves into thinking they are just plain Joe's and do not think the comments they make have a racial or bigoted overtone. These people are the ones that perpetuate hatred and don't know it, they are the one that give people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson ammunition to help keep the races divided, they are the ones that go off the deep and like Micheal Richards did when he had his meltdown and started screaming Nigger over and over again, I am sure he was as surprised at his own behavior as the world was. Richards simply did not know how deeply his hatred ran till he was pushed.
Now before anyone gets their panties in a bunch let me make this clear I do not like bigots and racists, I think they are the scum of the earth, they cause nothing but trouble and should be eliminated from the planet. It's just that with the up front ones like the Ku Klux Klan or the skinheads or the Black Panthers what you see is what you get, they are what they claim to be, racists and bigots is how they behave and they make no bones about it nor do they apologize for it.
