There's really no need to discriminate against other races. Race will be forever apart of us (race relations will never fade away), but the least we can do is work towards a better future.<br /><br />Before I saw the video, I expected to see a poor man get beat up. What I saw instead was a man stand up for his right to exist. <br /><br />Admirable post, Kelly. Kelly,

It’s great that you feel strongly against racism. There’s really no need to discriminate against other races. Race will be forever apart of us (race relations will never fade away), but the least we can do is work towards a better future.

Before I saw the video, I expected to see a poor man get beat up. What I saw instead was a man stand up for his right to exist.

Admirable post, Kelly.
