Skin color to me is no different than viewing someone’s hair color or eye color. I hate listening to racial comments, when everyone is the same. Today I was watching on the news about these two men who are leads of a clan that is sort of branched of from the KKK. They interviewed these two men who were negatively discriminating against Obama.

As I was watching this interview and listening to the things they said I just froze. I don’t think I’ve been more embarrassed in my life, when they said the things they said. Somewhere throughout their interview they had said I should be ashamed for voting for Obama and if I was of the white race. This was very upsetting listening to someone basically tell me what to do.

I know America has freedom of speech, but isn’t there some certain extent you can go? What I don’t understand is that people can grow up just hating someone by their genetics. If you hate people for their skin color why not their eye color or color of their hair. Because there is seriously no difference

Also the thing they don’t realize is that were all immigrants though our ancestors, we didn’t just magically appear here in America. Everyone has a right to live here, and it just irritates me to see people hating others for their skin. When we were once immigrants by our ancestors too!
