Carrie Nelson I keep saying. Hate is genetic. They wear their legacies of hate and racism like a badge of honor.
Ron Alexander Disagree with you completely Carrie Nelson! I was brought up in the deep South and remember being hurt as a small child by any hate-filled words. However, that hatred will make one sick - racism is an illness, and I am living proof that it can be healed/unlearned! "Unconscious", "ignorant", "denial" are words that can describe and "isms"! We are all born innocent and loving the best we can!
Carrie Nelson I was also brought up in the south and I was taught not to hate. But if there is one thing I am sure of and that is that children learn what they live. If not how could racism survive. Children are not born racist it is a learned and, deliberately taught. I too agree with 99 percent of the post, and respectfully agree to disagree.
Ron Alexander love IT, Jeannette, LOVE IS GENETIC!
Carrie Nelson Okay Ron and Jennette I agree. You are right. Hate cannot be genetic. I should know better since it is not of the Creator. Forgive the wr6g interpretation and use of genetics.
Ron Alexander aH, THANKs, for your humbleness - takes a lot of courage to admit you are wrong in this case dear Carrie Nelson!
Meg Kivett: I was raised in a prejudiced family in Virginia and started arguing against my parents when I was in the fourth grade even though I didn't know a single black person. My brother, raised in the same family, became an advocate against discrimination, ended up teaching in an all black school in, of all places, Lynchburg, Virginia and helped a lot of black kids to have a different view of the white man. He ended up happily married to a beautiful black woman from Venezuela. People can overcome their upbringing and evolve. Meg Kivett
