I thought I was a racist.

Pardon this, but think about it. My Grandmother told me, when I was a little kid, that she just couldn't stand "n#gg*+s". She also said, "being black doesn't make you one, and being white doesn't keep you from it". I know a whole lot more white ones.

That's how I see it. That word has nothing to do with color, but how you act.
