I was responding to a post where Longnshort proposed that third world peoples (who are usually non-white) tended to have corrupt societies because they had evolved differently. It's probably true, not all people are identical... and it's not a prerequisite for racism... to deny someone his right because of race is racism, but to say that countries develop differently is an obvious statement of fact... either that or Somalia is on par with the United States... don't play the race card so quickly, you will wear it out... I notice you didn't call Longnshort on what many reasonable people would find a far more offensive comment. No need, I think he's right on target with his comments... I despise racism as ignorant and I sometimes have little patience for the ignorant. So do I, as do all reasonable people, but you need to understand what racism is... the plain and simple fact is that people are NOT all the same, there are differences between and within races, but race itself has nothing to do with it... Thanks for the response... GZ
