One of the strongest expressions of the above I've heard was said to me by a Black retired Air Force Colonel, about a dozen and a half years ago.I don't like scumbags. Don't care what colour they are - white, black, any colour in between. In any case the colour you are is just an accident of birth frankly - you could have been born in Sri Lanka or Austria or whatever, and be any colour - you can't change that. People care too much about that shit.
What you can control is how you behave and how you treat people. Too many black people seem to want to be thugs it seems. And white people seem to be scared to say a damn thing.
