Descrimination is so sad :(
A white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here."
The black man stood up and said:
"Listen sir....when I was born I was BLACK "
"When I grew up I was BLACK, "
"When I'm sick I'm BLACK, "
"When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, "
"When I'm cold I'm BLACK, "
"When I die I'll be BLACK."
"But you sir."
"When you are born you're PINK".
"When you grow up you're WHITE, "
"When you're sick, you're GREEN, "
"When you go in the sun you turn RED, "
"When you're cold you turn BLUE, "
"And when you die you turn PURPLE.
"And you have the nerve to call me colored?"
The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away..

Re: Descrimination is so sad :(
I don't really feel for the black man in that example . . . he was racist too. 
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

He was defending himself, but yes, he was sorta' racist.

Well it's not an actual story. I can tell just by reading it that it's something that someone made up because they thought it was amusing.

Being Jewish. I can't enter all the Islamic countries on account of my safety. I go to those places, I have a very high chance of ending up dead.

I'm shifting toward the joke side....
I suggest we close this before a racism argument arises.

Re: Descrimination is so sad :(
Honestly, racism is not a huge problem today. Most kids would find it downright silly to hear of discrimination based on race or skin color. However, that is what the past generations grew up believing.
Every generation has a blind spot. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries in the U.S. and England, slavery was a huge blind spot.
What's the blind spot of today? Hmm?
