: Too bad most mainstreamers opt for that 'eliminate differences' tack, instead of just saying, "wow you look different, but I must look just as strange to you. I respect that." I guess that's the fallen world. Every good thing gets perverted.
Yeah, I hate it when I see white guys trying to look black and black guys trying to look white. I just wish people would be themselves. Nothing shows more tolerance to me than a black guy, who looks pretty black, hanging out with a real anglo. And, to see the form the love between them takes. That means, a true acceptance of each others' differences, instead of a mutual watering down of all the specialness of each. Also, it's more than tolerance, since the word tolerance seems so guarded. Instead it's more like an acceptance or embrace, which I like.
