You are so wrong about that. Race has a huge affect on how you’re raised. I can guarantee you that at some point in a black man’s life he REALIZED he was black and therefore found himself different. He probably has a button nose and harder to manage hair and bigger lips. Forced physically things that no one has any control over and yet he is at some point in his life subjected to his differences. He laughs at different jokes, buys different products, and is told to act in a different way NO MATTER WHERE S/HE GREW UP.

<p>Way to stereotype… According to you, almost all black men have bigger lips, button noses, laugh at different jokes, buy different products and act differently no matter where he/she grew up. To say the least, this is quite an immature view on race. Yes race may have some factor on how you grow up/think but it does not nearly influence people as much as you say it does. People are unique individuals… not everyone has to conform to the stereotypes that are held by others.</p>

How many white people do you know today who can yell out, “**<strong><em>," in a crowd of black people or, "</em></strong>”, in a crowd of Hispanic people and not start a confrontation of epic proportions? But I bet you’d be ten times more comfortable saying it in a group of white people.

</p>

<p>This is completely pointless. What are you trying to prove?</p>

<p>

Saying race doesn’t have a huge affect on someone’s life is the most ignorant thing anyone can say.

</p>

<p>No, not really. Stereotyping races in order to substantiate your arguments is far more ignorant. </p>

No offense, but how would you know? Seriously, how would YOU know?

<p>No offense, but can you read? Have you read my screen name? Does my screen name indicate that I am a white, anglo-saxon protestant male? Or does it indicate that I am a minority?</p>
