I just saw the most disturbing special on racism and soccer in Europe. I would never have guessed how terrible it was. In this day and age. It enraged me as it was pure barbarism of the worst kind. Whole stadiums full of people doing monkey chants and waving Nazi flags. The total insensitivity and hatred was sickening to look at. But above all was the stupidity of it all because you know it spills over into every aspect of being a civilized species and having a civilized society. It was beyond belief for me. Racism: why I never quite have been able to forgive the south for letting it fester for 100 years, or members of my own family for going along with it so easily because it is part of their culture in Oklahoma. Pretty weak reason reflecting a pretty weak mind and bankrupt soul.
