the worst are the ones who say 'I'm not racist/sexist/whatever but...' i have a bad habit of saying well yeah, actually, it is. lost a couple of jobs because of it. i just don't like the idea that people can, say, think that all black people should go back to africa AND think of themselves as non-racists.
(just read MG's post, and now i know why i fight with him all the time. thinks too much like me...)
also i'm curious: wow. how where you wearing it before?
