Willful Blindness

When we ignore the obvious we do so at our own risk such as illegal drug use racism discrimination in any form. If you stiffen up are uncomfortable sitting next to a person on a plane or anywhere because they are fat skinny  or a different  color different religion or just plain different or simply do not know anyone that looks different than you then you may be a racist. If all of your friends are generic in appearance all white all black all chinese or middle eastern all live in similar  neighborhoods You may be a racist hiding a lot of guilt and hate. So before you point the finger at someone else remember three more are pointed back at you and  you may be blind.
