About Me
- Jason IL
- Mannheim, Badden Wurtenburg, Germany
- My name is Jason and I reign from California/ Bay Area. I am currently stationed in Mannheim, Germany (Army). These are little projects and ideas that I find around or I think up while daydreaming----the main purpose is to organize them so I quit having them lost in the abyss after writing them on little bits of paper! A mishmash collection of thoughts, insights, observations, musings, some pictures, rants, raves, opines, considerations, pronouncements, reflections, scrutinies, ramblings, proclamations, witty retorts, reader comments (encouraged!), and an occasional video clip. Ultimately these random thoughts will mirror my lifestyle clothing brand that I am currently working on for FW09. For those who care it falls under the category of street wear and sport wear...I love fashion and I’ve been amazed and amused by fashion since I was young enough to dress myself. I hope this blog will do the same for you!

Hello Jason:
I'm wondering whether a white woman "clutching" her purse when a black man walks into an elevator with her would be considered
"ignorance," and not "racism?"
I'm not suggesting that if I were a black man, her gesture wouldn't insult me, etc., however, racism is pure hatred of another race just because of their race. Fear is an emotional response. And, it can be based on ignorance.
I'm not trying to downplay racism, because I'm not. But, we all have fears, and usually these fears are learned responses from experience, or from what we see watching tv, etc.
I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, though. But, isn't it better for you to try and see all sides of an issue?
Take care.
Nancy
