Maybe it just comes down to perspective. If a person isn't racist and doesn't surround themselves by racist people, all this talk about how racism exists might seem over exaggerated because it might not exist in their particular worldly experience.

Kinda reminds me of a buddy of mine. He owns a bunch of ATM’s and carry’s large amounts of cash. He refuses to get his CC. He thinks those that carry are afraid of something or just trying to be a tough guy. Now, it would be easy to argue with him about that,but I see things a little different than some in these cases. I think it’s good character indicator. He assumes that when he leaves the house, he’s entering into a world of good,solid people like himself.
I hope this analogy isn’t to far off base.

used to sell scrap gold to a dealer that came by every 6 weeks or so, he paid 98% of spot, based in houston, always had large bundles of franklins in his satchel and all the gold he'd bought that trip. i was sitting at a desk with a 38 super about a foot from my hand and asked him if he was armed. he told me no and he wasn't worried about it. he got robbed around ft worth as i recall, shot up pretty bad, dang near killed him...might not have happened if he was packing.

What, me worry? hell ya!

Boy, I killed that this thread quick. Maybe I should clarify what I meant in my analogy.
The world is how we perceive it.
