Unfortunately, there is pack-mentality. A lot of people may not be racist, but are too weak to stand up - unless someone else does it first. They submit themselves to this packmentality. Im disgusted and disheartend to see that shit. I had just watched "who do you think you are" w Emmit Smith, where he was tracing his family back to Benin... Very disheartening too so I was sad already before I watched that shit. I never say never, but I bet I would not just stand by.. If I did just stand by, I would be disgusted w myself
I think for most people self preservation is what holds us back. We're usually too afraid to stick our necks out in fear of what might happen to us. Shit like that happens daily and people remain silent.
A back bone was apparently not given out to all humans:-( I have always stuck my neck out, perahps a bit too much. I have always spoken up and sometimes payed the price. Not always good either...
