QUOTE="Texeyes, post: 9739726, member: 24204"]So my daughter goes to a speech tournment..not her first. She normally finishes 1st or second. This time all her competitors give a speech about racism and the judges are black and all the finalist wre also. She said Dad I felt like I wasn't in the mix becuase I wasn't talking about racism. She grew up in a wealthy household. In fact when she brought friends over she never mentioned their race or origin..they were her friends and everyone was welcome. This was first time in our conversations that race came up ever. She is 15 and just got her first taste of racism...she might have lived her entire life and never addressed it ( which is where we all should be). Until people get off the cross and want to be accepted for as an equal with no crutch we will never get out of this quiqmire. What bothers me most is this was someone that wasn't racsit , but now she sees there are racist people and they are not all white[/QUOTE]
