[pam]

I don't notice racism as much as a whole as I used to. It's mainly in individuals comments etc.

Kind of a funny story but not really. I was at work one day and was working with another girl. I noticed a black man at one of the gas pumps. Man, he was gorgeous. I said so to the girl working with me. She turned to me and said "Um but Pam, he's black." That just totally floored me as I had not heard a comment like that in years. I wasn't even thinking of him as any thing other than a very good looking man.

So while I think racism still exists...I think it is becoming more and more isolated.

I grew up in a High School where I was a minority so I grew up with people from many backgrounds and races. I never felt much of a tension there because of the diversity. I may have been one of the lucky ones I don't know.

I still think racism exists but I think we are moving towards the positive in making it less and less noticeable.
