Talk:Ward Connerly

message: 'Married to a white woman' - this statement has racism written all over it, should be removed.
The "uncle tom" remark is a rude comment and is presented too matter-of-factly —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.195.129.10 (talk • contribs) 14:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: My name is Chris Michael, I was up late last night and I had happened to see your show and you were discussing the topic of racism among the community of Americans.
I was studying what you had to say and you are right, there is a problem in the community with stereotypes and classifications. I believe classifications are a gateway toward stereotypes and I also believe that they will not go away due to how we are raised as children. 
As a child we are taught the fundamentals and building blocks to set up our own classification for the future. For example being taught that a banana is a banana, we would not call it a pear. The child then learns that the banana is in fact a banana and it's classifications that follow it can be recognized, so therefore that child wouldn't relate the banana toward anything else. 
Children also learn about different types of people, some are light skin, some darker, some are old, some are of youth, and that nearly every hair color and face is distinctive. The child starts recognizing certain traits and attributes toward different types of people, animals, and objects. Thats how children indicate the truth and facts around them. Children, the base of our society, observe us and take mental notes about everything. So, when children are raised in different scenarios and when they have to adapt to a different scenario they aren't familiar with everything they thought was truth. So if two different children meet, they'll be taking mental notes about one another. They don't understand that everyone is nearly the same and that different scenarios affect the way a person reacts and thinks. But ignorance and stupidity (also classifications) mold us to think that stereotypes are real. And once we think the stereotype is real we'll start trying to point them out more often. Repetition is the best way to learn. So when people hear that they are something their not over and over again they'll start to believe it. If you tell a beautiful person they are ugly they'll try to find every attribute upon their body that is ugly. So in order to destroy racism you have to destroy classifications such as beautiful, ugly, tall, short, skinny, fat, and everything else used to describe someone and the situation. If we keep saying racism exists that will open up the fact that it's okay. If we keep swearing how is someone supposed to have a clean mouth? 
The whole topic is simple yet so confusing because it is already out of control.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.193.16.221 (talk) 18:21, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
