In class the topic of all white people being racist was quite a controversial topic. When I brought the quote up I wanted to put emphasis on "white" not denying the fact that all whites were racist but that maybe it was more than just "white people". I wanted to see what people believed and if they thought what I was thinking, and that is that ALL people are racist, no matter color. All people can commit some sort of act either intentionally or unwillingly. How you come back from that is how you may define yourself, but I believe that every person in this world makes mistakes and in some ways makes racists or discriminatory comments without intending to hurt or attack somebody. We live in a color filled world and people are just pointing out the white aspect of it instead of seeing everything else that is going on with it.
