growing up a witness, and having black friends and and relatives.

i was kind of in the dark as to what being a raciest was really based on.

so as i get older and think about it more, i thought it might be an interesting question to discuss what you think makes a person raciest and how they base this thinking.. i am going to use the african american racism in this example, as i think that more then any other group.

single JW's and sex
by Hipraptor in

2. relationships
