racism
we pay lip service to being a color blind society. 20% of the us population is black. much less than 20% of our employees are black. hrm. i like to think i'm more color blind than most. i grew up in a wrestling room. it's one of the places where skin color really doesn't matter. if you win wrestle-offs, you wrestle for the team that week. if not, work harder. it's a good system. so anywho. i was shooting .22s at camp michigania. a black guy was at the station next to mine. at the end of the round we turned in our targets and empty shell holders and signed up for another round. i got back to my station first. then a couple arrived. a white couple. and they took the black guy's station. by the time he got back all the stations were taken. i looked at him and he shrugged. he didn't say anything to the couple. he missed the round and called it a day. the couple never knew they had taken a station someone was using. okay so here's the question. if i'm so color blind and morally superior, why didn't i say anything?
